3-4. Single UPS Operation

1. Turn on the UPS with utility power supply (in AC mode)

1) After power supply is connected correctly, set the breaker of the battery pack at “ON” position (the step only available for long-run model). Then set the input breaker at “ON” position. If using 30000CPRVA unit, please also set bypass breaker at “ON” position. At this time, the fan is running and the UPS enter to power on mode for initialization. Several seconds later, UPS operates in Bypass mode and supplies power to the loads via the bypass.

NOTE: When UPS is in Bypass mode, the output voltage will directly power from utility after you switch on the input breaker and bypass breaker (only available for 30000CPRVA model). In Bypass mode, the load is not protected by UPS. To protect your precious devices, you should turn on the UPS. Refer to next step.

2) Press and hold the “ON” button for 0.5s to turn on the UPS and the buzzer will beep once.

3) A few seconds later, the UPS will enter to AC mode. If the utility power is abnormal, the UPS will operate in Battery mode without interruption.

NOTE: When the UPS is running out battery, it will shut down automatically at Battery mode. When the utility power is restored, the UPS will auto restart in AC mode.

2. Turn on the UPS without utility power supply (in Battery mode)

1) Make sure that the breaker of the battery pack is at “ON” position (only for long-run model).

2) Press the “ON” button to set up the power supply for the UPS, UPS will enter to power on mode. After initialization UPS will enter to No Output mode, then Press and hold the “ON” button for 0.5s to turn on the UPS, and the buzzer will beep once.

3) A few seconds later, the UPS will be turned on and enter to Battery mode.

3. Connect devices to UPS

After the UPS is turned on, you can connect devices to the UPS.

1) Turn on the UPS first and then switch on the devices one by one, the LCD panel will display total load level.

2) If it is necessary to connect the inductive loads such as a printer, the in-rush current should be calculated carefully to see if it meets the capacity of the UPS, because the power consumption of this kind of loads is too big.

3) If the UPS is overload, the buzzer will beep twice every second.

4) When the UPS is overload, please remove some loads immediately. It is recommended to have the total loads connected to the UPS less than 80% of its nominal power capacity to prevent overload for system safety.

5) If the overload time is over acceptable time listed in spec at AC mode, the UPS will automatically transfer to Bypass mode. After the overload is removed, it will return to AC mode. If the overload time is over acceptable time listed in spec at Battery mode, the UPS will become fault status. At this time, if bypass is enabled, the UPS will power to the load via bypass. If bypass function is disabled or the input power is not within bypass acceptable range, it will cut off output directly.

4. Charge the batteries

1) After the UPS is connected to the utility power, the charger will charge the batteries automatically except in Battery mode or during battery self-test.

2) Suggest to charge batteries at least 10 hours before use. Otherwise, the backup time may be shorter than expected time.

3) Make sure the battery numbers setting on the control board (Please refer to the section 3-4-12 for detailed setting) is consistent to real connection.

5. Battery mode operation

1) When the UPS is in Battery mode, the buzzer will beep according to different battery capacity. If the battery capacity is more than 25%, the buzzer will beep once every 4 seconds; If the battery voltage drops to the alarm level, the buzzer will beep quickly (once every sec) to remind users that the battery is at low level and the UPS will shut down automatically soon. Users could switch off some non-critical loads to disable the shutdown alarm and prolong the backup time (the UPS would cut off the programmable output terminal automatically when the programmable timer function is enabled). If there is no more load to be switched off at that time, you have to shut down all loads as soon as possible to protect the devices or save data. Otherwise, there is a risk of data loss or load failure.

2) In Battery mode, if buzzer sound annoys, users can press the Mute button to disable the buzzer.

3) The backup time of the long-run model depends on the external battery capacity.

4) The backup time may vary from different environment temperature and load type.

5) When setting backup time for 16.5 hours (default value from LCD panel), after discharging 16.5 hours, UPS will shut down automatically to protect the battery. This battery discharge protection can be enabled or disabled through LCD panel control. (Refer to 3-7 LCD setting section)

6. Test the batteries

1) If you need to check the battery status when the UPS is running in AC mode/CVCF mode/ECO mode, you could press the “Test” button to let the UPS do battery self-test.

2) Users also can set battery self-test through monitoring software.

7. Turn off the UPS with utility power supply in AC mode

1) Turn off the inverter of the UPS by pressing “OFF” button for at least 0.5s, and then the buzzer will beep once. The UPS will turn into Bypass mode.

NOTE 1: If the UPS has been set to enable the bypass output, it will bypass voltage from utility power to output sockets and terminal even though you have turned off the UPS (inverter).

NOTE 2: After turning off the UPS, please be aware that the UPS is working at Bypass mode and

5) Turn on the parallel system in AC mode:

a) Turn on the input breaker of each UPS. If using 30000CPRVA unit, please also turn on bypass

breaker. After all UPSs enter to bypass mode, measure the voltage between output L1 of each UPS and output L2 of each UPS. If these two voltage differences are all less than 1V, that means all connections are correct. Otherwise, please check if the wirings are connected correctly.

b) Turn on the output breaker of each UPS. c) Turn on each UPS in turns. After a while, the UPSs will enter to AC mode synchronously and

then, the parallel system is completed.

6) Turn on the parallel system in Battery mode:

a) Turn on the battery breaker (only available in long-run model) and output breaker of each UPS.

NOTE: It’s not allowed to share one battery pack for long-run UPSs in parallel system. Each UPS

should be connected to its battery pack.

b) Turn on any UPS. A few seconds later, the UPS will enter to battery mode.

c) Then, turn on another UPS. A few seconds later, the UPS will enter to battery mode and add to the

parallel system.

d) If you have the third UPS, follow the same procedure of c). Then, the parallel system is complete.

If more detailed information is needed, please contact supplier or service center for parallel operation instruction.

2. Add one new unit into the parallel system
