Quick Guide

PowerWalker VFI RT HID Series

I. Assembly

The UPS can be assembled in a rack form using rack ears (Rack Mount Kit is not included) or in tower form using tower holder. The LCD part can be taken out and turned 90 degrees to align with orientation of the UPS.

Internal batteries are disconnected for transportation. It is necessary to open front panel (2 screws on the side, 1 screw behind the LCD) and connect the two available connectors before first usage. External batteries are connected in front using third connector.

II. Display Panel

The LCD uses blue back-light as standard. In case of critical error the back-light changes to red. Buttons react to:

 Click – Press the button for around 1s and

release

 Press – Press and hold for more than 3s, release  Press long – Press and hold for more than 10s,

release

V. Connection of the UPS

The UPS should be protected with circuit breaker on the input. Minimum rating should 10A for 1000VA, 12A for 1500VA, 16A for 2000VA and 20A for 3000VA. For output connection please use original cables and share the load equally among outlets.

VI. Connecting Battery Packs

Remove front panel, connect the battery via Anderson PP45 connectors. Make sure you are connecting with correct polarity (red to red, black to black). Make sure the wires are connected tight. Close front panel. Setup the amount of battery packs in the settings.

VII. Communication Ports

A Local communication with the software can be established via USB or RS232 connector. Alternatively UPS can be controlled using dry contacts.

VIII. DB9 Female (RS232) pin description

Dry contacts are not available for VI ERT series.

IX. Dry contact port and EPO

The relay output contact must not be connected to any utility connected circuits. Reinforced insulation to the utility is required. The relay output contact has a maximum rating of 30Vac/1A.

The signal input to control UPS On/Off status is the same as one button to control UPS On/Off status. The relay output can be configured by protocol command:

XI. UPS Initial Startup

1. Verify that the internal batteries (behind front panel) and optional battery packs are

connected.

2. Plug the equipment (load), but do not turn it on

3. Plug in the UPS input power cord. The UPS front panel display illuminates and UPS

status display shows “INIT” for initialization and then settles on “STbY”

4. Press and hold the ON/OFF button more than 3 seconds. The UPS status display

changes to “LINE”

5. Configure the UPS (i.e. EBM battery settings) At initial startup, the UPS sets system frequency according to input line frequency.

XII. User Setting String

Settings should be done in standby (no output) or bypass mode. Load Segments can be also changed in Line Mode

XIII. [UPS] Normal Operating Mode

UPS works in normal double conversion mode, providing clean and filtered power.

XIV. [CVF] Frequency Converter Mode

When input frequency is within 40 Hz to 70 Hz, the UPS can be set at a constant output frequency, 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The UPS will still charge battery under this mode. Frequency Converter requires de-rating of the UPS Power to 70%.

XV. [ECO] Economy Mode

It is also referred to as high efficiency mode. The load is supplied directly from mains via internal filter when input voltage is within the allowed range. If the input is abnormal, UPS would switch to battery mode. A transfer time up to 10ms is present during switching to battery mode.

Setting correct EBM (External Battery Module) quantity is critical for reaching the desired backup time. Only if this value is set correctly, UPS will be able to maximize the battery usage. The value represents amount of original battery packs fitted with 2 strings of 9Ah batteries.

XVII. Configuring Load Segment

Load segments are groups of outlets that can be configured through the display. VFI RT HID models have two configurable load segments. When UPS is turned on (it has activated output), you can turn off a load segment. If the UPS is turned off (no output), then a load segment cannot be turned on.

XVIII. Bypass Mode

If the bypass is set to enabled (value = 001), then the UPS would provide output to the load as long as there is input. Turning off the UPS would essentially switch off the inverter and supply unfiltered power to the load.

XIX. UPS Status Display String

XX. Indicators and Audible alarm

Alarm can be muted when it is activated, but it will sound in case of low battery, fan fault, overheat and other major fault.
