Activate the external REPO switch. Verify that status change on
the UPS display.
Deactivate the external REPO switch and restart the UPS.
4.6 Parallel Installation and Operation
4.6.1 Brief introduction of the redundancy
The parallel structure is 1+1.As long as the UPS is equipped with
parallel cables, up to 2 UPSs can be connected in parallel to
configure a sharing and redundant output power.
4.6.2 Installation and operation
How to install a new parallel UPS system:
1) Before installing a new parallel UPS system, user need to
prepare the input and output wires, the input and output
breakers, and the parallel signal cables.
2) Users need to use a special 15-pins communication cable
(optional) for this system, which have to have 15 cores,
corresponding stitches and shield, as the UPS parallel cable.
27
The length of the parallel cable have to be less than 3 m.
3) Strictly follow the chapter 4, the wiring requirement of single
UPS to perform the wiring of each UPS.

7) Pressing button continuously for more than 1 second for
one UPS of the system, then the system will start to turn on and
enter line mode.
8) Regulate the output voltage of the each UPS separately, and
check if the output voltage difference between the two ups is
less than 0.5V. If the difference is more than 0.5V, the UPS
need to be regulated.
9) If the difference output voltage is less than 0.5V, switch on the
output breakers for the two UPS separately and switch on the
main O/P breakers, then the system will work normally in
parallel.
■ The output wiring requirement as follows:
● When the distance between the UPS in parallel and the
breaker panel is less than 10 meters, the length difference
between input and output cable of the UPSs is required to be
less than 20%.
● When the distance between the UPS in parallel and the
breaker panel is more than 20 meters, the length difference
between input and output cable of the UPSs is required to be
less than 5%.
How to join a new UPS to a parallel system:
1) If load cannot be stopped firstly a main external maintenance
bypass switch should be installed for the parallel system.
2) Regulate the output voltage of the new UPS: check if the output
voltage difference between the new UPS and the existing UPS
is less than 0.5V.
3) Ensure the bypass of the parallel system is in tolerance and the
bypass setting is “enable”, then press the button to turn off
the UPS, then UPS will work in bypass mode.
