Safety Warnings
Read this manual carefully and completely before installing and using the TECNOWARE ECO
Uninterruptible Power Supply, which, from here after, will also be referred to as UPS.
This manual should be kept close to the UPS and read before the UPS is installed and used.
The UPS must be used only by properly trained personnel. To ensure correct and safe
operations, it is necessary that operators and maintenance personnel observe the general
safety Standards as well as the specific instructions included in this manual.
Risk of electric shock: do not remove the cover. The UPS contains internal parts, which are at a
high Voltage and are potentially dangerous, capable of causing injury or death by electric
shock.
There are no internal parts in the UPS, which are user serviceable. Any repair or maintenance
work must be performed exclusively by qualified technical personnel authorized by
TECNOWARE. TECNOWARE declines any responsibility if this warning is disregarded.
Warning to the technical personnel authorized for Service: since internal components are
connected to the batteries, they will remain powered, and therefore dangerous, even after the
UPS has been disconnected from AC power mains. Before any repair or maintenance work,
disconnect the batteries, by removing the positive cable (red colour) from the positive pole of
the battery.
It is compulsory to ground the UPS according to Safety Standards. The AC mains power supply
socket used to power the UPS must have an earth connection.
In the event of AC main power supply failure (when the UPS works in Battery mode), do not
unplug the power supply cable to the UPS to ensure earth continuity to the connected loads.
Since the AC mains power supply cable acts as a separation device, the AC mains power socket
used to supply the UPS and/or the rear side of the UPS must be accessible to easily disconnect
the cable in case of dangerous conditions.
Risk of electric shock at the Output lines when the UPS is ON.
Risk of electric shock at the Output lines while the unit is connected to the AC utility line.
Do not obstruct ventilation slots or holes and do not rest any object on top of the UPS.
Do not insert objects or pour liquids in the ventilation holes.
Install the UPS indoors, in a protected, clean and moisture-free environment.
Do not expose to the direct sun light.
Do not keep liquids, flammable gases or corrosive substances near the UPS.
UPS ECO 0.50 – 0.70 – 0.90 – 1.1 - 1.3 3 User’s manual
1 Introduction
ECO is an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) specifically designed to protect your computer from any type of
irregularities in the AC line (such as black-outs, under or over voltages, micro-interruptions), which often cause
damage to your Hardware and Software.
Under normal AC line condition, ECO filters frequently occurring electrical disturbances (such as transients, spikes,
interferences, etc.), thus protecting all devices connected to the outlets, and recharging the batteries in an ideal
way. In case of anomaly to the AC line, the UPS continues feeding the protected equipment.
Read this manual carefully before using the ECO; it includes important safety warnings
and useful advices for correct use and installation.
This manual is a guide that enables you to correctly install and use your UPS. This
manual includes important SAFETY instructions for the operator, for the UPS correct
installation, and gives useful advice on the product and battery maintenance. For any
type of problem, please refer to this manual before calling the customer service.
ECO is constantly being developed and improved: consequently, your unit may differ somewhat from the
description contained in this manual.
This manual includes the following models:
• ECO 0.50 (500 VA)
• ECO 0.70 (700 VA)
• ECO 0.90 (900 VA)
• ECO 1.1 (1100 VA)
• ECO 1.3 (1300 VA)
In this manual ECO will simply be referred to as UPS.
2 General Characteristics
ECO has all the advanced features, which guarantee maximum reliability and safety:
• All functions are controlled by a microprocessor, giving full guarantee of high reliability.
• Overload protection both in normal mode and in battery mode.
• High performance battery charger, which extends the battery medium life ensuring an optimal recharge.
• Start up even if the electrical network is not available.
• Automatic restart after an automatic shut down due to a low battery condition once the AC utility power
returns.
• Adapts automatically to 50 or 60 Hz input frequency.
