1. GENERAL OVERVIEW
1.1. UPS GENERAL DESCRIPTION
These UPS families have the compact construction, with the outer metal frame and the electronic circuits and
power components inside. All user accessible elements are placed on the back side, while the control panel –
on the front side.
The top and side covers can be removed, giving an access to the internal part of the UPS for the service or
maintenance purposes.
The front side of all units contains the user interface panel useful for monitoring, maintenance and control.
The terminal block for the electrical connection to the mains, reserve, load, external batteries, and the main
switch, are located on the back side of the unit.
The internal batteries are placed in the lower part of the UPS, with an access from front side.
1.1.1. UPS APPLICATIONS
The new UPS family was designed to provide stabilized and filtered power, especially for supplying
sophisticated and sensitive electronic devices (i.e. for data processing systems). Alcor and Mizar UPSes
can be used to supply electronic systems of medical centers, police stations, motorway tunnels,
broadcasting stations, banks, technical and administrative offices, requiring the power source free from
voltage and frequency variations.
1.1.2. POWER AND AUTONOMY
Thanks to its modular design, the UPSes are available in two series with rated power from 10kVA to 15kVA
(Mizar) and from 20kVA to 40kVA (Alcor).
These two families have different power sections, while batteries and cabinet remain the same.
Both UPSes can utilize the internal battery block of 60 pcs. of 5, 7.2 or 9Ah batteries.
An external battery modules can be used to increase the UPS autonomy.
1.1.3. SAFETY AND SIMPLICITY OF USE
All the UPS elements available for user daily maintenance are insulated and disconnected from hazardous
voltages.
Control of the overload and excessive temperatures guarantees the immediate and most suitable
intervention in the case when one of these conditions occurs during operation.
The operator can view the UPS status on the front panel and perform shut down or switching operations
easily (see chap. 3 page 19).
The unit is provided with the E.P.O. (Emergency Power Off). This function is activated by pressing the
button located on the front panel.
A remote E.P.O (optional) switch can be connected to UPS to provide remote emergency power off action.
The UPS state can be easily monitored with the personal computer and an interacting program (optional) or
through the remote panel (optional), especially when the UPS is installed in unmonitored areas. See chap.

USCITA UPS
PASS MANUALE
MODULO
The UPS described here is an on-line dual conversion type UPS with automatic by-pass in compliance with
European standard EN62040-1-2. This UPS performs a dual conversion of the incoming voltage
continuously and without interruption.
The absence of direct connection between mains and the load provides blocking all voltage and frequency
disturbances. The dual conversion guarantees that the output energy is always well regulated and has
correct voltage and frequency values, ideal for the operation of professional applications.
When the input voltage exceeds the allowed range or - more frequently - is not present, the load is supplied
by converted energy from the batteries.
The system is supplied with an automatic by-pass. In the event of a UPS fault or overload, the by-pass
connects immediately the load directly to the mains through a reserve line, making possible normal load
operation without interruption. See fig. 1.3.1

S.SWITCH
From the input bars the mains are connected via the MAINS INPUT l1 switch to the power module.
The rectifier regulates the DC voltage to a reference value, charging continuously the battery.
Then the DC voltage supplies the inverter, which feeds the load with regulated sinusoidal voltage (phase
and amplitude controlled).
In normal operating conditions, the static switch (providing energy to the load) selects the inverter as the
voltage source; in the case of fault or overload, the UPS output is redirected to the reserve line. This
operation allows providing the energy to the load. When the cause of the alarm disappears, the static
switch automatically selects the inverter to feed the load again.

1.3.3. LOGIC AND AUXILIARY CIRCUITS
The control logic occupies the separate board (0SDE0150) and represents the “intelligence” of the UPS.
It manages operations of the step-up converter, inverter and by-pass, based on feedback signals taken
from the power module. The control logic also manages the other three boards, i.e. the battery charger,
auxiliary power supply and signal interface.
The battery charger handles recharging of the outside batteries connected to the UPS.
The signal interface receives the signals from the control logic and converts them into the protocol required
by the front panel of the UPS and also the relays board. Going backwards, the selected commands from
the front panel (automatic by-pass forcing) and/or relay board (EPO) are sent from the signal interface to
the control logic which interprets them and performs desired operation – like switch on/off inverter or shuts
off the UPS.
The auxiliary power supply supplies all the boards and electronic components in the UPS.
1.3.4. BATTERIES
The battery set provides energy to the system when the input mains is out of the allowed range or not
present; in all other cases batteries are constantly recharged by the charger module. In this way the
batteries are always ready for use when required.
1.3.5. MANUAL BY-PASS
The manual by-pass is useful in the situations, when it is necessary to disable the UPS and keep the load
supplied by the mains (i.e.: UPS stopped, fault, etc.). can be activated with using the MANUAL BY-PASS
(l3) switch, located in the rear part of the UPS (refer to chapter 4). In normal operating conditions this circuit
breaker remains in rest position, protected with the mechanical lock (the padlock).
1.3.6. FRONT PANEL
The UPS can be managed via the front panel. Using the panel it is possible to execute the commands,
display states and measurements and reset the alarm circuits.
The panel is equipped with an LCD screen used to display the operating status of the UPS, the load and all
types of measurement (see chap. 3)
