2. INTRODUCTION
UPS EVO TM
The UPS EVO TM (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) are the result of constant technological
research aimed at obtaining the best performance at the lowest cost.
The EVO TM units are advanced ON-LINE UPS built specifically to protect your computer from
any irregularities in the AC line (for example blackouts, brownouts, over voltages, microinterruptions) which often cause damage to hardware and software.
All that is possible because EVO TM is a Double-Conversion ON-LINE UPS.
Under normal AC line condition UPS EVO TM provides an automatic output voltage regulation
from the Rectifier and Inverter blocks and filters out frequently occurring electrical
disturbances (high voltage transients, spikes, interferences, etc.), thus protecting the devices
connected to its outlets. During a power failure, UPS EVO TM continues supplying adequate AC
power (with a true sine wave) to all connected devices through its internal batteries and by its
DC/AC converter (Inverter).
UPS EVO TM protects the devices from accidental overload or Inverter fault by an AUTOMATIC
BYPASS that directly connects the AC input line with its outlets.
The EVO TM models are factory-equipped with a RS-232 interface which may be used for notify
to a computer a power failure or a low battery condition: this allows automatic data backup
during an extended blackout with the most common operating systems (Windows, Novell,
Linux, etc). Thanks to Interface RS232, UPS EVO TM can communicate the several made
measurements (input and output voltage, batteries, absorption, frequency…), and can also be
programmed in order to start-up or shutdown automatically at fixed times.
WARNING
Read this manual carefully before using an UPS EVO TM; it includes important safety
warnings and useful advices for correct use and installation.
EVO TM is constantly being developed and improved: consequently, your unit may differ
somewhat from the description contained in this manual.
This manual includes the follows models of the EVO TM series:
• EVO TM 10.0
• EVO TM 6.0 • EVO TM 12.0
• EVO TM 8.0 • EVO TM 15.0
In this manual, which covers all 5 models, EVO TM will simply be referred to as UPS.

4. RECEIPT AND SITE SELECTION
Carefully remove the UPS from its packaging, and carry out a meticulous inspection. We
recommend keeping the original packaging in case you need to send the UPS for maintenance
purposes. In case of transport damage, notify the carrier and dealer immediately. We
recommend keeping the original packaging in a secure place, in case you need to ship the UPS
for maintenance purposes.
We recommend to pay attention to the below points in order to choose a correct placement for
your UPS:
• The UPS is designed to operate in a protected environment (e.g. offices). We therefore
recommend installing it in a place with very little or no humidity, dust or smoke.
• In all circumstances, see the TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS chapter for environmental
specifications and check that the selected area meets these criteria.
• During normal operation UPS EVO TM discharges a minimal amount of heat. So it is
necessary to leave at least 10 cm of unobstructed space all around the UPS in order to
keep it properly ventilated.
• Do not obstruct ventilation holes.
• Do not insert objects or pour liquids in the ventilation holes.
• Do not rest any object on top of the UPS.
• Do not keep liquids, flammable gases or corrosive substances near the unit.
• Install UPS EVO TM on a properly tiled floor. Avoid the installation on a floor that is not
tiled flat.
5. OPERATING MODES
The operation modes are: LINE MODE, BATTERIES mode and BYPASS mode.
For details see figure 1.
LINE MODE
UPS EVO TM typically works in LINE mode, input mains power is available and its amplitude is
within specifications.
After the filter has eliminated any high frequency interferences present on the mains, the input
line Is rectified and conditioned in the RECTIFIER board (AC/DC conversion); the continuous
power now enters into the INVERTER board and is then reconverted in alternated power
(DC/AC conversion), overcoming the AUTOMATIC BYPASS and feeding the load after an extra
filtration. At the same time UPS EVO TM recharges the batteries through the BATTERY
CHARGER block. Please refer to figures 2A/2B, that describes the UPS front panel, the LINE
MODE is identified by:
• Led LINE and UPS are on
UPS EVO TM 6 User’s manual
BATTERY MODE
During operation in the LINE MODE, if the UPS finds the MAINS OFF condition (due to a
blackout or overvoltage/brownout), it then switches into BATTERY mode. In this case, the
batteries supplies the required output power thanks to the DC/AC conversion carried out by
the INVERTER. UPS EVO TM switches back to LINE MODE a few seconds after AC input power
is restored or voltage comes back to internal specifications.
The BATTERY mode is identified by:
• Led LINE off and led UPS on.
• The UPS emits an acoustic signal approximately every 2 seconds, in order to indicate
the BATTERY MODE
The acoustic signal will be automatically de-activated after 90 seconds.
BYPASS MODE
In BYPASS mode, the AC input line is directly connected with the UPS outlets by an
AUTOMATIC BYPASS.
As it is indicated in figure 1, in BYPASS mode the UPS recharge however the batteries.
UPS EVO TM uses the BYPASS mode during the start-up phase; furthermore the UPS
switches automatically to BYPASS mode as a consequence of accidental overload or
Inverter fault thus protecting the supplied devices.
The BYPASS mode is identified by:
• BYPASS Led and LINE led are lit.
When EVO TM functions in BYPASS mode it can be considered as “not active”, since the
INVERTER block is not active.
EVO TM is considered “active” when the INVERTER block is on (LINE mode and BATTERY
mode).
To activate or de-activate UPS EVO TM use the INV ON/OFF button on the front panel.
WARNING
When UPS EVO TM works in BYPASS mode there isn’t output power if the input
power is OFF.
