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.

Default Mode

After startup, the LCD displays a message showing the UPS name and model number.
This message will display for 8 seconds unless the SELECT button is pushed. After either 8

seconds or if the SELECT button is pushed, the UPS display changes to either the “OPERATION
MODE” display (i.e. NORM, BYP, BATT) or the “FAULT” display (if the UPS has detected a fault
condition). In the absence of a UPS fault condition, the “OPERATION MODE” display is the
default display.

UPS Parameters Mode

When the UPS is operating normally, pressing the “SELECT” button will allow switching to the
UPS parameter displays.

When in the UPS Parameters mode, if no operation is performed for 30
seconds, the Parameters mode will be cancelled and the UPS display
will return to the default “OPERATION MODE” display.

The parameter displays are as follows:

1. Operation Mode

2. Output voltage display

3. Input voltage display

4. Input frequency display

5. Output frequency display

6. Output load percentage display

7. Battery voltage display

8. Battery percentage charge display

9. UPS state one display

10. UPS state two display

While in the Parameters mode, pressing the “SEL ECT” button for 3 seconds will cause the UPS

to enter the UPS Settings Mode. Refer to Figure 2.3 for the Parameter Setting Menu in the UPS

2.1.6 Communication Ports Maintenance

The USB communication port on the back panel of the UPS system is designed to communicate
with a computer or server. Only connect to this USB port if you intend to use POWERVAR’s
monitoring software from a computer or server near the UPS system. The RS232 port is
designed to communicate with a computer or server for the same monitoring capabilities. You
should only connect to the RS232 port of a computer or server. The remote contact interface
port is provided as a set of solid state relay switch contacts. The switches are available through
a DB9 male connector on the rear of the UPS. The chart above shows the pin assignment for
each signal. The EPO (emergency power off) contact is a normally closed 125 VAC circuit.
When wiring to the EPO a properly sized switch must be used. Contact POWERVAR with any
questions

2.2 Basic Principles

When commercial power is normal, UPS input power is routed via the power factor corrected AC
to DC chopper circuit. The chopper circuit increases the voltage to ±380V stabilized DC voltage,
which supplies DC/AC inverter. The inverter changes the DC power back into regulated,
conditioned, sinewave AC power, which is connected to the load equipment via a low impedance
isolation transformer. At the same time, the battery is kept charged by a battery charger. When
commercial power is lost the battery supplies power to the DC buss for u s e by the inverter. This
assures continuous “no break” power for the connected load. In the event of an inverter
overload or inverter fault, a solid state static bypass switch automatically connects input power
directly to the primary of the output isolation transf ormer.

UPS operational modes are illustrated in Figures 2-8, 2-9, and 2-10.

4.1 Preparation for Start-up

To ensure proper operation of the UPS, please confirm the following before use:

1. Correct installation of input and output wiring connections. (See section 2.1.3 or 2.1.4)

2. Please verify the UPS is setup for the correct voltage. Th e label on the rear of the unit will

indicate the factory input voltage setting. If you need to change the input voltage setting
please reference section 2.1.3 or 2.1.4.

3. Input voltage matches the configuration selected in #2 above.

4. The battery circuit breaker on the rear of the UPS is in the “OFF” position.

5. Confirm that computers, instrumentation or other connected loads are turned off

Do not connect loads with high, non-linear current demands (such as
laser printers) to the UPS. Do not connect loads with AC motors (such
as vacuum cleaners) to the UPS.

4.2 Routine UPS Startup Sequence

After confirming all the above, you are ready to start the UPS.

1. Turn the main input circuit breaker on the back of the UPS to the ON position. (See table

2-2).

2. Turn the battery circuit breaker to the ON position. (See table 2-2).

3. The line indicator light will turn on when AC is applied. After a short delay t he INV light will

turn on if the AC input is within specification. T he UPS is now operating normally and is
capable of supplying uninterruptible power. (See figure 2-1).

4. If any other conditions is displayed reference the trouble section of th e manual ( Section 4.5

and 4.6).

5. Start the connected loads in sequence with highest power loads being started first and lower

power loads being started last.

4.3 Routine UPS Shutdown

1. Press the NORMAL/BYPASS button on the UPS panel to stop the UPS inverter. After

stopping the inverter, the UPS will be in bypass mode (See figure 2-1).

2. Turn off the main circuit breaker (See table 2-2).

3. Turn off the battery circuit breaker (See table 2-2).

4. To once again start the UPS, follow the instructions for routine start-up as already

discussed.

4.4 Important Battery Issues

If the UPS has been disconnected for a long period, it should be charged for at least four hours
before operation can resume. While it is possible to use the UPS during this charging period, it
is important to keep in mind that if a power outage occurs, battery runtime may be quite short.

47

POWERVAR Security Plus UPS

As long as the UPS is connected to a live power source and the UPS
input circuit breaker and battery circuit breaker is turned on, the UPS
battery will be kept in a charged state.

1. Batteries of different capacity, type, and brand should not be used together. The

manufacturer has approved only the type, capacity, and brand of battery originally shipped
with the UPS. Please consult the UPS manufacturer before replacing batteries with any
batteries not meeting these specifications.

2. When cleaning the outside of the UPS use only a soft cloth and clear water. Do not use oily

substances, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, etc.

3. The UPS should be kept away from ignition sources as well as all electrical equipment that

may cause sparks.

4. Be careful not to store flammable, explosive, or corrosive substances in the same area as

the UPS or any add-on battery cabinets.

5. If the UPS is routinely disconnected for long periods, be sure to regularly connect the UPS

and charge the battery to prevent battery damage as the result of self-discharging.

4.5 Frequent Trouble Causes

If the UPS fails to work properly after installation and start-up, please don't automatically
assume that a UPS failure has occurred. Please refer to the following steps to try to identify a
possible cause.

Problem 1

Main supply and output are normal after start-up but the alarm buzzer is sounding
intermittently.

Possible cause: Unstable AC power input as a result of poor input connections at a breaker,
wall receptacle, or UPS terminal block.

Solution: Check all input power connections.

Problem 2

After UPS is started, the output voltage is normal, but the UPS is in bypass mode (BYPASS
light illuminated).

Possible cause: Too much load is connected to the UPS.
Solution: Remove or turn off connected loads in increments until the BYPASS light is

extinguished. If UPS is overloaded, it may be necessary to install an additional UPS or one with
a higher capacity rating.

(Note: Some bypass operations are caused as a result of start i ng up
high inrush loads. In such cases, bypass operation will be
temporary, and the UPS will return to normal operation as soon as
load inrush current subsides.)

48

POWERVAR Security Plus UPS

Problem 3

UPS displays and UPS output are normal after start-up. However, the output stops as soon as
load is connected to it.

Possible cause #1: UPS is experiencing a severe overload or a circuit short circuit on the
output.

Solution: Reduce the load to an adequate amount, or check loads to locate a short circuit. In
many cases, short circuits are caused by shorted output adapters or damaged load equipment.

Possible cause #2: Failure to follow the proper load start-up sequence.
Solution: Restart the UPS with no output loads turned on. Then power on the largest loads first

and then smallest loads last.

Problem 4

The UPS works properly after start-up, and automatically shuts off after a certain period of
time.

Possible cause: The UPS is running on battery (either not powered by AC input or not
connected to AC input) and the battery is not fully charged.

Solution: Immediately turn off all switches, and restart the UPS. Verify that AC power is
present to the UPS input and that the UPS is operating normally. Charge the battery for a
minimum of four hours (preferably to full capacity) before returning to use. Note: Long-period
low voltage of the battery will shorten the service life of t he battery.

Long term low voltage of the battery will shorten its service life.

Problem 5

After working for a certain period, with a normal input display, the buzzer gives intermittent
buzzing and displays battery low voltage simultaneous ly.

Possible cause: Input power supply has very low voltage causing the UPS work from its
battery. When the battery runs low, a low voltage battery condition occurs and the UPS enters
into protection status.

Solution: Determine cause of very low input voltage.
Problem 6

UPS is started and working. When a power outage occurs, the UPS fails to output power.
Possible cause: The battery is not connected to the UPS, the battery circuit breaker is open

(turn off), or the battery itself is severely damaged.
Solution: Verify that the UPS battery is properly connected, the battery circuit breaker is

closed (turned on) and that the battery itself is not damaged or defective.

Problem 7

If the “LINE” LED is flashing and the buzzer gives an intermittent alarm, this is alerting the user
of a Ground fault. The alarm works by checking for a neutral to ground bond. If the network is
unpolarized or has no neutral to ground bond follow the solution below.

49

POWERVAR Security Plus UPS

Solution:

1) Press and hold the SELECT button until the screen displays “Inverter Off: Yes?”

2) Press SELECT button two more times until screen displays “Ground Fault: Disable?”

3) Press OK

4) Press the NORMAL/BYPASS button and wait 2 minutes (It is important to wait the 2
minutes).

5) Press the NORMAL/BYPASS button again.

6) Check to insure the LINE and INV LEDS are on.

4.6 Troubleshooting

4.6.1 Overview

In the event of UPS failure, first inspect the UPS and the area around it to determine if there
are any obvious reasons for malfunction. Check for external factors such as high temperature
or humidity. Check to make sure that the UPS ventilation slots and holes are not obstructed.
Carefully observe any messages that may appear in the display window on the front panel of

6.1 Packing

The original shipping container for the UPS consists of a heavy duty inner cardboard carton
inside a larger plywood shipping container both of which are securely fastened to a shipping
pallet. Should you find it necessary to ship the UPS for service or installat ion, you should
attempt to re-use this original packaging material along with the shipping brackets that
originally accompanied the UPS. Follow these simple steps to prepare the UPS for shipment.
(Consult Fig. 3-2 on page 26 for visual guidance.)

1. Place the UPS on the shipping pallet.

2. Attach a metal shipping bracket to each side of the UPS frame at the lower edge of the UPS

near the shipping pallet. There are two bolt holes in the UPS frame on each side of the UPS
for attaching the shipping bracket.

3. Bolt the shipping brackets to the shipping pallet on each side of the UPS by passing bolts

through both holes of the shipping bracket and through the shipping pallet on both sides of
the UPS. Secure these bolts with flat washers, lock washers, and nuts.

4. Cover the UPS with the protective plastic bag.

5. Place the foam shipping inserts in appropriate places on the UPS and then slide the heavy

cardboard container over the UPS.

6. Place the plywood ramp on top of the cardboard container.

8.1 Basic Warranty

Security Plus Series products (hereafter referred to as “Product”) are warranted to be free from
defects in material and workmanship for three (3) years from date of shipment from
POWERVAR, on the chassis & electronic components and two (2) years from date of shipment
from POWERVAR on the batteries. This warranty is limited to repairing, replacing, or
refurbishing, at POWERVAR’s option, any defective component, circuit board or module within
the Product. For Products 3 kVA and below located anywhere, this w arrant y is limited to
POWERVAR depot service. For Products above 3 kVA located in the continental Un ited States,
United Kingdom or Germany, this warranty will include, at POWERVAR’s sole discretion, on-site
service or POWERVAR depot service. For locations other than those specified herein, this
warranty is limited to POWERVAR depot service. See the Limitations of Warranty section below
for additional limitations & exclusions.

8.2 Limitations

This limited warranty does not cover any losses or damage resulting from shipmen t to or from
the Customer, or from improper installation, improper application, inappropriate environment,
abuse, neglect, unauthorized modifications, adjustments, or repair of the Product. Additionally,
any costs related to installation or de-installation of the Product for the purpose of replacement
or servicing will be the Customers sole responsibility. POWERVAR makes no warranties,
expressed or implied, of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, performance,
condition, capacity, or otherwise. POWERVAR is not liable for incidental or consequential
damages, monetary loss, loss of sales, or loss of business resulting from the failure or
malfunction of the Product. Warranty is void on Product where evidence of tampering exists.
Improper long-term storage may damage the UPS batteries and invalidate the battery
warranty. Disconnecting a UPS from its AC utility power source for an extended period of time
results in lost battery charge. To keep the batteries fully charged and maximize t he life of the
batteries, connect the UPS to an AC power source while it is in storage. If this is not possible,
the UPS must be connected to a power source for 24 hours at least once every 4 months, or
every 2 months if the ambient temperature is more than 30°C (86°F). Additionally,
POWERVAR’s warranty on batteries applies only to Products that are continuously connected to
AC mains power, except during utility power outages. Products that are regularly and
intentionally disconnected from AC mains power will experience battery discharge/charge cycles
that are potentially far more numerous than those for which the battery was designed. As a
result, Products used in such applications will experience substantially reduced battery life.

Therefore, POWERVAR’s standard warranty term does not apply in these cases and is
supplanted by a 90 day warranty from time of shipment from POWERVAR. The warranty
provided by POWERVAR provides for the replacement of the battery or battery systems in the
event that the batteries do not meet the performance specifications as determined by
POWERVAR exclusively. All warranty services will be performed during POWERVAR normal, non­holiday business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM CST). Any service required
by Customer to be performed outside of normal business hours will be subject to POWERVAR’s
prevailing labor rates.
