To ensure correct operation of the UPS, please read this instruction manu a l carefully. Please
keep this manual handy for future reference.
1. Before operating the UPS or connecting any load equipment, please ensure the UPS is
connected to a properly grounded electrical supply.
This UPS has dangerously high voltages on both its Input
and output connections. Contact with these voltages may
be life threatening. Please follow the operating instructions
carefully. Please give close attention to the warnings in this
manual and those posted on the UPS. There are no user
serviceable parts inside the UPS. Disassembly and/or
maintenance should only be done by an authorized
2. This UPS has dangerously high voltages on both its input and output connections.
Contact with these voltages may be life threatening.
3. Please do not disassemble the covers. There is a risk of electric shock.
4. In an emergency, immediately turn off the circuit breaker for the circuit supplying
power to the UPS. Also immediately turn off the battery circuit breaker.
5. This UPS has two power sources. One is the circuit supplying the UPS with input
power. The other is the UPS battery. Prior to any maintenance, both of these power
sources must be disconnected to ensure that the UPS is de-energized. If only the input
power is disconnected, the UPS can still operate from the battery, and hazardous
voltages may still exist.
6. To prevent damage or a safety hazard, keep the UPS away from open flame and any
other devices that may cause sparks.
7. Do not open or damage individual battery cases as spillage of caustic electrolyte may
occur resulting in danger to life, safety, and the environment.
8. The charging characteristics of UPS batteries vary by both brand and type. For this
reason, replacement batteries should be of the same brand and type as those specified
by the manufacturer. Using batteries other than the brand and type specified by the
manufacturer may affect the performance of the UPS. Before installing batteries of
different brand or type, please consult with the manufacturer.
9. The UPS has an internal EMI filter for purposes of enhancing electromagnetic
compatibility with the input mains supply. This filter produc es leakage current to earth
on the input mains. When selecting a circuit breaker for the branch circuit supplying
power to the UPS, ensure that the breaker selected is not an ELCB type circuit breaker
that detects earth leakage current.
10. Please contact the manufacturer or an authorized distributor for any assistance with
troubleshooting.
4
POWERVAR Security Plus UPS
11. The UPS should only be serviced or maintained by a factory authorized service
technician.
12. This UPS meets FCC Class A electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
13. Depleted batteries must be disposed of in a proper manner. Contact your local
recycling or hazardous waste center or the UPS manufacturer for instructions
concerning proper disposal.
The Security Plus UPS is a high frequency, double conversion (true online) intelligent UPS for
use with file servers, enterprise servers, microcomputers, telecommunication systems, data
centers, laboratory instrumentation, and other microprocessor-based equipment that requires
high quality, conditioned uninterruptible power. It is designed for use in telecom, IT, LAN,
banking and financial, or almost any application where the performance of computer systems is
mission critical. The Security Plus UPS is designed for connection to a single-phase alternating
current input and provides power output loads requiring single- phase alternating current power.
1.1 Primary Functions and Operating Characteristics
1. Intelligent RS232 communication - Using the available RS232 standard data interface or
USB port and UPS power management software, you take advantage of three
communications functions: (1) The connected host computer can supervise UPS
operation and control electric parameters, (2) Remote control of power ON and OFF
functions can be accomplished, (3) with an available internal SNMP network adapter
inserted in the internal card SNMP option card slot, the UPS is discoverable by a
network.
2. High input power factor and low input THDI – This UPS uses an advanced active power
factor correction (PFC) technology, which improves the input power factor and makes
the UPS friendlier to the input mains supply .
w
3. High performance to price ratio – This UPS uses high frequency pulse width modulation
(PWM) technology to ensure high efficiency, reduced size and weight, and improved
operational reliability.
4. Dependable self-protection functions – This UPS provides dependable self-protection
functions such as output over-voltage protection, battery low voltage protection, and
input over-voltage protection. These self-protection features improve reliability and
adaptability to a variety of electronic applications and installation environments.
5. Wide input voltage window – This UPS has a wide input voltage operating window, which
ensures that even in the presence of unusually low or high input voltage, the UPS will
continue to supply high quality dependable power to the connected load without
discharging its battery. This reduces battery discharge cycles and results in increased
battery life.
1.2 Precautions
Please be careful to observe the following general safety precautions
during operation or maintenance
1. There are no user serviceable parts inside this UPS. Please don't remove the covers. This
system can only be maintained or repaired by trained authorized service technicians.
2. To improve electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), this UPS has an input EMI filter, which
produces potentially dangerous leakage current to ground. Ensure the UPS is connected
to a properly grounded input electrical source.
7
POWERVAR Security Plus UPS
3. Install this UPS indoors in an environment that is temperature and humidity controlled.
4. Install this UPS in a dust-free environment.
5. This UPS has two sources of power. Before maintenance is performed, turn off the
branch circuit breaker powering the UPS and turn off all battery switches.
6. Even with the AC input power supply turned off, the UPS’s internal battery still
represents a potentially dangerous source of high voltage electrical power.
7. If the battery circuit has not been disconnected from the AC input, dangerous voltage
potential still exists between the battery terminal and the ground terminal.
8. UPS batteries represent a high voltage source and a potential hazard to personal safety.
Please pay attention to proper safety precautions and use insulated tools during
installation.
9. UPS batteries contain corrosive and caustic chemicals. Improper handling of batteries
may lead to the unintended release or leakage of these substances. Please handle
batteries carefully.
10. Condensation may occur when the UPS is moved from a low temperature, low humidity
environment to a warm humid environment. Condensation may cause UPS damage or
hazardous electrical shock. To ensure the safety of both the UPS and the personnel
around it, make sure that the UPS is installed only af ter it has fully acclimated to its
installation environment. This UPS is not intended to be operated in an environment of
either low temperature or high humidity.
11. DC vo ltage is still present on the battery fuses even with the UPS turned off. The battery
trays must be removed before servicing UPS.
