1. Safety Instructions
1.1 General
Warning!
The complete safety instructions (p/n: 1009917) must be followed when installing,
operating and servicing the parallel UPS system. Study the complete safety instructions
carefully.
Because of the high energy stored within the batteries, the UPS equipment must be handled
with care. The UPS must always be kept in the position marked on the package and must
not be dropped during storage or transportation. Moreover, do not place the parallel UPS
system in an airtight room.
The instructions are important for electrical safety with all personnel involved in UPS
handling. Any failure to recognise the electrical hazards could prove fatal or cause injury.
1.2 Installation and service
Switch off the supply to the distribution point to which the UPS unit is to be connected.
Remove the fuses from the selected line for extra safety precaution. Make absolutely sure
that there is no power connected to UPS modules.
Warning!
The parallel UPS system must be installed according to the instructions given on this
manual. Qualified electricians should carry out all electrical installation and maintenance
work on the parallel UPS system. Local safety legislation and regulations for electrical
UPS installations must be followed.
Any installation work must be done with the power off, and power is not to be reconnected
unless the installation work is complete. Ensure by measuring that the part of the cabinet
you are working on is not live.
Warning!
UPS modules are not provided with automatic power feedback relay. A readily
accessible disconnect device must be installed in the fixed input wiring. Note that
dangerous voltages remain in battery terminals when disconnect device is opened.
Ensure that the output of an UPS module is disconnected from the other parallel modules.
Thus, open the output service switch before any installation work or maintenance in a
parallel connected UPS module.

2. Introduction
2.1 Overview
This manual gives you the necessary information about parallel UPS systems in redundancy
or capacity configuration. The largest systems include maximum of four UPS modules in
parallel configuration.
Instructions and procedures are covered in this manual: shipping; storing; handling; installation;
user start-up and operation; troubleshooting; and preventive maintenance. The manual is
intended for the chief operator/system supervisor, electrical consultants and installation
electricians. It describes the specific functions and features of the parallel UPS system.
Figure 1.A parallel configuration constructed with four UPS modules.
Always remember that the parallel UPS system is connected to the AC mains power and
contains internal high-current batteries for back up. Hence, prudence principle must be
followed to prevent electrical hazards when operating the parallel UPS system.
2.2. Easy power protection
One can choose from a variety of power protection devices to shield critical data and
equipment from power problems. However, by far the most sophisticated devices are
Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS).
An on-line, double conversion UPS is ideally suited for the most critical equipment. It provides
clean AC power and protects the critical load against nine types of power problems:
1.Power outages
2.Power sags
3.Power surges
4.Undervoltages
5.Overvoltages
6.Switching transients
7.Line noise
8.Frequency variations
9.Harmonic distortion

3. System Description
3.1 Overview
Parallel UPS configurations are recognised as either redundancy or capacity systems. The
redundancy system is used to improve the system reliability with N+1 redundant UPS
module. The capacity system for its part provides the maximum output power without
focusing to the highest system reliability.
A parameter selection is used to switch between the redundancy and capacity modes. It is
important to remember that the mode is affecting to the output power rating and overall
system reliability.
UPS modules of the parallel system share equally the load with Hot Sync™ technology. The
parallel outputs are combined in a System Parallel Module or cabinet. It is the system
component containing the obligatory service switches. Customer’s low-voltage distribution
panel can also be used instead of the System Parallel Module. In the redundancy system,
service switches enable the maintenance or service on an UPS module. In the capacity
system, one needs to have a common system bypass switch to do the maintenance or service
without safety hazards.
Figure 2.Parallel configurations with UPS modules.
Field upgrading can be used to extend existing capacity/redundancy systems with UPS
modules. The upgrading must be carried out by service personnel from the manufacturer or
from an agent authorised by the manufacturer.

3.2 Theory of operation
A double conversion on-line UPS conditions the raw mains and supplies continuous, clean
three-phase power to the critical systems. It keeps the battery constantly charged while
feeding the critical load. The UPS will continue to supply clean power without any
interruption at the output even at mains failure. It will shut down in order to prevent a total
discharge of the battery if the power failure outlasts the backup time of battery bank. The
UPS will start up again automatically, providing power to the critical load and charging the
battery bank, when the mains voltage is restored.
Figure 3a.Block diagram of UPS module
A double conversion UPS provides the best protection for computer systems and other
intelligent devices such as measurement instruments and industrial automation applications.
UPS modules incorporate digital signal processing technology to monitor and control its
own operation. They protect different types of sensitive electrical devices such as
computers, workstations, banking systems, sales terminals, critical instrumentation,
telecommunications systems, process control systems, hospital equipment, etc.

The mains is rectified and boosted to DC power in the rectifier part. The rectifier provides
power to the battery charger and the inverter load. The battery charger keeps the battery in
recharged condition with ABM™ technology. The DC Link connects the rectifier output with
the inverter input. It is the means for transferring power between these system components.
The output of the inverter is constantly maintained in phase synchronism with the bypass
supply voltage provided that it is within the voltage and frequency tolerances specified for
the load transfer condition. The inverter is changing the output operation to internal set
frequency if the bypass supply exceeds these tolerances.
In the event of a mains power interruption, the battery is supplying the inverter load. The
rectifier starts again to supply the inverter load when the AC mains power returns. The
battery charger is recharging the battery after the mains return, too.
The static switch is initiating uninterrupted transfer of the load to the bypass line when the
inverter is overloaded or the inverter is not able to feed the load. The output is protected
with a tripping circuit breaker to separate the faulty UPS module from the parallel load bus.
The parallel load sharing is implemented individually in UPS modules with Hot Sync™
technology. The critical load is supported even in the unlikely situation of the redundant bus
communication failure.
3.3 Sizing
The output power rating of the parallel UPS configuration should be specified according to
the total power demand of the protected load. Some margin should be allowed for potential
expansion, and for possible inaccuracy in calculating or measuring the actual power
requirement.
The battery should be sized according to the desired backup time. Note that the backup
time is longer if the load is less than the nominal power rating of the parallel UPS system.

4. Instructions and preventive maintenance
4.1 General
Proper provision must be made for transportation and handling because of heavy weight and
high energy stored within batteries. See technical specifications for dimensions and weights
of the UPS modules.
4.2 Unpacking and incoming inspection
Unpack the equipment and remove the shipping and packing materials. The shipping and
packing materials should be stored for further investigation if damage has occurred during
the transportation.
The equipment must be inspected for shipping damage. A claim must be filed immediately if
visible damages can be noticed. Proceed as follows to file the claim for a shipment damage:
•Inform the carrier about the damage within 7 days of receipt of the equipment.
•Check and verify that the shipment is complete against the packing list.
The installation may proceed if there are no damages or discrepancies. UPS system is also
thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory.

4.3 Storage
UPS modules must be stored in the original packing and shipping pallet. They should be
handled with care. Make sure that you do not stack the pallets when the equipment is
placed to local warehouse for storage.
If the UPS is not immediately installed the following must be remembered:
•Electrical equipment must always be protected from moisture and weather.
•The recommended storage temperature is between +15°C and +25°C
•UPS batteries should be charged regularly for at least 8 hours every 6 months to
maintain the battery condition.
4.4 Handling and lifting
UPS modules are shipped on specifically designed packing and pallets. It is easy to move and lift
them with a forklift. Hence, equipment should be lifted in the original and packed condition.
Crane lifting can be used if a suitable lifting net is used. There exist no lifting eyeholes for crane
lifting. Note that equipment must be kept in an upright position and must not be dropped.
4.5 Moving
UPS can be simply pushed into place after unpacking. They are equipped with castors for
easy movement but be careful not to tilt it. Please verify that the surface material, on which
the UPS modules are moved, is strong enough for the heavy weight.
4.6. Initial start-up and upgrades
The authorised field service person shall perform the following procedure and tests during
the start- up the new parallel UPS system:
1. Visual inspection
•Make a visual inspection of the equipment for signs of damage or foreign material.
Observe the type of ventilation system, the cleanliness of the room, the use of safety
signs, and other environmental factors affecting the functionality or personnel safety.
2. Mechanical and electrical inspection
•Check the power connections, control wiring terminations, and plugs for tightness or
proper seating. Verify that the alarms log is clear and in the ’green’ condition.
•Check the parallel UPS system for possible ground leakage, proper input and bypass
voltages, and correct phase rotation. Check the proper battery float voltage.
3. Operating inspection
•Energise the parallel UPS system and verify the proper DC and AC output voltages.
Check the final DC link voltage and output wave form of the inverter output.
4. Operational training
•Before leaving the site, the field service engineer shall familiarise responsible personnel
with the operation of the UPS system. The UPS equipment shall be available for
demonstration of the modes of operation.
Normally, the complete parallel UPS system is calibrated at the factory and no output
calibration is needed in the field. However, UPS module upgrades to the existing parallel
UPS system require always the service visit due to the field adjustment of calibration
settings. Special calibration software and tools are required to make the parallel system
function properly with the new, purchased UPS module.

4.7 Maintenance
Warning!
Maintenance work must be performed only by a service person with the service training
completed.
One should sign a service and maintenance contract with an authorised local service centre.
The maintenance work for parallel UPS system can be done with the system bypass switch.
The good condition of the batteries is crucial to correct operation of the parallel UPS
system. Therefore, a battery discharge test is recommended once or twice per year in the
preventive maintenance procedure.
The UPS units are provided with the automatic battery test ABM™, which continuously
controls the condition of the battery bank. “Battery failure” alarm is activated when the
capacity of the battery bank has decreased remarkable from the default value.
Scrapping
Before scrapping UPS or its battery cabinet, battery bank and the lithium battery on the
logic board must be removed. Due to high energy and high voltage, removal of batteries is
allowed only for authorised service personnel. Local requirements must be followed in
battery recycling or discard.
WARNING!
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Batteries may contain HIGH VOLTAGES,
and CAUSTIC, TOXIC and FLAMMABLE substances. Batteries can injure or kill people
and damage equipment if used improperly. DO NOT DISCARD unwanted batteries or
