Product Description
An uninterruptible power system is a system that is installed between the commercial power and the load
equipment. The UPS provides steady AC output power during commercial power short-term blackouts or
brownouts. This power is provided for a long enough time so that the load can be shut down in an orderly
fashion. This prevents loss of data and possible damage to both hardware and software.
During normal operation, the UPS uses commercial AC power . In addition, it takes in all of the high voltage
spikes and transients caused by switching and faults, and all of the common-mode and normal mode
noise which is associated with commercial AC power. The UPS converts it all to fl at DC power. From this
power, the UPS charges its batteries and generates its own extremely high quality AC waveform output.
The result of this process is maximum power conditioning and regulation.
If the AC power supplied to the UPS drops below a specifi ed voltage level, the unit’s batteries automatically
begin supplying power instead of receiving it. This insures that the loads connected to the UPS continue
to receive power with no interruption. When AC input power becomes available again, operation returns
to normal. The unit’s batteries begin to recharge so they will be ready for the next power interruption.
Application and Use
Toshiba’s 1600EP Series of on-line uninterruptible power system (UPS) systems provide continuous
computer-grade AC power in a compact, high performance, and energy effi cient unit. The UPS unit
assures safe and reliable operation of critical offi ce equipment. This can range from word processors and
personal computers to mini-computers and local area networks. All units feature an audible alarm which
sounds if the battery voltage drops below standard during use. This is an additional aid to help in retaining
the valuable offi ce data banks. All units allow for computer interfacing.
Output Rating
Toshiba’s 1600EP Series (208/240V) offers UPS models with the following capacities:
When an electrical power failure occurs, the UPS’s internal batteries automatically supply back-up power
to the load without interruption. For example, when used to support a computer, the UPS back-up assures
enough additional time to complete the activity and store the data. This allows an orderly shutdown after
a power failure has occurred.
Power Conditioning
When commercial power is present, the UPS supplies conditioned power to the load while maintaining its
batteries in a charged condition. The UPS protects against the normal, everyday problems associated
with heavy use of raw commercial power, including power sags, surges, signal interference, and spikes.
This protection keeps power-line problems from reaching your load, where they can cause equipment to
operate erratically, or damage software and hardware.

6 DO NOT install the UPS in areas that allow exposure to high levels of airborne dust, metal particles,
or fl ammable gases.
7 DO NOT install the UPS in areas near sources of electrical noise. Ensuring a proper earth ground
will reduce the effects of electrical noise and will reduce the potential for electrical shock.
8 DO NOT install the UPS in areas that would allow fl uids or any foreign object to get inside the UPS.
9 The UPS generates and can radiate radio-frequency energy during operation. Although RFI noise
fi lters are installed inside of the unit, there is no guarantee that the UPS will not infl uence some
sensitive devices that are operating near by. If such interference is experienced, the UPS should be
installed farther away from the affected equipment and/or powered from a different source than that
of the affected equipment.
10 The user should provide output over-current protection for hardwired UPS systems. See the section
titled Specifi cations on page 20 and 23 for the device rating.
11 After ensuring that all power sources are turned off and isolated in accordance with established
lockout/tagout procedures, connect the power source wiring of the correct voltage to the input
terminals of the UPS.
12 Connect the output terminals of the UPS to the load (refer to NEC Article 300 – Wiring Methods and
Article 310 – Conductors For General Wiring). Size the branch circuit conductors in accordance with
NEC Table 310.16.
Conductor Routing and Grounding
1 Use separate metal conduits for routing the input power, output power, and control circuits.
2 Follow the wire size and tightening torque specifi cations listed on page 16.
3 Always ground the unit to reduce the potential for electrical shock and to help reduce electrical noise.
4 A separate ground cable should be run inside the conduit with the input power, output power, and
control circuits.
THE METAL OF CONDUIT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE GROUND.

UPS Stop Signal Operation
When the UPS stop signal is sent to the UPS through pin 2 and 3 of the external contact interface,
it is possible to automatically reset the following operating systems (OS), which can automatically
implement the shutdown function and restart the operation:
Applicable OS: Windows NT, IBM OS/2 LAN server, LANtastic
When the power fails, the OS detects the power failure signal from the UPS and starts the shutdown
process.
At the end of the shutdown process, the OS sends a stop signal to the UPS, and the UPS stops.
When the power recovers, the UPS automatically starts output and restarts the OS. Even when the
power recovers while in a shutdown process, the UPS temporarily cuts off the output (10 - 20 seconds)
and then restarts the OS within 10 minutes after the recovery from power failure. In this case the UPS
cuts off output even with normal input power. Connect the UPS stop signal of the external contact
interface only for the automatic processing so that the UPS output will not be cut off by mistake. If a
stop signal is sent to the UPS ten minutes or more after the recovery from a power failure, then the UPS
ignores this signal and continues to output power.
If the computer is started/restarted within 10 minutes after the recovery from a power failure, the
power supply may be reset while the computer is restarting.

Operating the UPS
Battery Backup Time and Discharge Process
The UPS batteries provide about 5-7 minutes of back-up time depending on the 1600EP unit kVA rating.
These times are valid when the unit is operating under full load and at the rated power factor. The exact
length of these times will depend on the UPS model used, condition of the batteries, amount and type of
load, temperature and other variables. See battery backup time in ‘Standard Specifi cations’ beginning on
pages 20-25.

Starting the UPS
Turn the main circuit breaker (MCCB) on the back of the UPS (see pages 52-53) to the “ON” position
(the breaker should normally remain in the “on” position).
Check that the AC INPUT LED on the front panel (see page 32 and 33) lights ‘green’. All LED’s on the
front panel may light for a moment when the input breaker is turned “on”. This is normal. The UPS will
now be supplying power in the bypass mode.
CAUTION
When running the UPS for the fi rst time or after the power failure backup
operation, charge the batteries for at least 24 hours (input breaker “on”) before
operating the connecting load.
Using the UPS without charging the battery shortens the battery backup operation
time, which could result in the destruction of data in case of a power failure.
Press RUN key to begin UPS operation (see page 34 for startup screens).
CAUTION
If the input breaker is turned off while UPS is in the bypass state, the output
power stops. Any load devices will lose power.
Ensure that all sensitive loads have been previously shut down.
Stopping the UPS
To stop the UPS, press the STOP key approximately 1 second until the LED changes from green to
“off”. The UPS is now in the bypass mode.
To completely stop the UPS, turn the input breaker at the back of the UPS to the “OFF” position.

Period 3
The recharge process usually consists of three periods. During the fi rst period, the current is maintained
at approximately 1 ampere. This current limit is the maximum value that can be used to charge the
batteries (for minimal recharge time) while assuring safety and long battery life. In the second period,
constant-voltage control starts and current gradually decreases as the batteries charge to their normal
fully charged state. In the third period, a slight “trickle” current continues to fl ow into the batteries to keep
them fully charged and “fl oating” at the normal Vdc level. A full recharge usually requires 24 hours (90%
recharge in 12 hours) after a complete discharge.
The following chart shows the rated maximum and minimum battery voltages and the charge current for
each of the sizes.
The following illustration shows circuit power fl ow when the UPS is operating normally in the AC input
mode. The UPS rectifi er, including a boost chopper circuit, converts AC input power to DC power. The
boost chopper circuit maintains a constant voltage, with current limiting, for charging the batteries. It also
supplies a DC voltage of the proper level to the inverter section. The inverter section generates a high
quality sine wave output voltage. The unit’s batteries are always maintained in a constantly charged state
when the UPS is in the run operation mode.

Static- Bypass Mode (Stop operation)
If the UPS unit is severely overloaded or develops an internal fault, power fl ow is automatically switched
from the unit’s main circuit to the bypass circuit. Power fl ow through the bypass is shown in the following
illustration. This change-over occurs automatically in less than 4 milliseconds in phase. The switching
period is not long enough to cause interruptions to occur in most loads. If the power fl ow is transferred to
the bypass circuit because of an overload and that overload condition ends within a specifi ed period of
time then the power fl ow will be transferred back to the AC input mode (run operation) automatically. If
the power fl ow is transferred to the bypass circuit due to an external fault the UPS will shut down power
through the bypass to the load and indicate a system fault message. If the power fl ow is transferred to
the bypass circuit due to an internal fault the UPS will continue to supply power to the load through the
bypass and indicate a system fault message (see system fault message DC-OC on page 48). If the power
fl ow is transferred to the bypass circuit due to an overload condition (see system warning message OL:
REDUCE LOAD on page 44 and AUT O RETRANSFER on page 46), then the power fl ow will automatically
transfer from the UPS’s bypass circuit back to the inverter circuit after removing the overload if set to do
so (see auto-transfer setting on page 40).

Battery Backup Mode (on batteries)
The following illustration shows power fl ow during the battery backup mode. When commercial AC power
failures occur, the UPS’ s batteries instantly begin supplying DC voltage to the UPS’s main inverter circuit.
This circuit changes (inverts) the DC power into AC power. The AC power is available at the unit’ s output.
This back-up process will continue until the UPS’s battery voltage drops below a specifi c minimum level.
When this occurs, the batteries will stop supplying power to the load. This minimum level is the rated
minimum voltage (Vmin). The rated battery voltage chart on page 28 shows (Vmin). The battery backup
time and discharge process is explained on page 28.

EPO (Emergency Power Off) Function
These units are equipped with terminals for receiving an emergency power-off (EPO) “closed contact”
switch command from a remote location (see ‘terminal block details’ on page 16 and terminal block
location on page 53-54). This safety feature enables quick shut-down of the UPS’s AC output and battery
circuits. Usually the emergency power off switch is installed in a central location that is easily accessible
to personnel concerned with the operation of the UPS unit and the load equipment connected to it. The
EPO function is initiated by pressing the switch to the closed “shutdown” position. The effect of using the
EPO switch is the same whether the UPS unit is in the

The System Overview Screens provide a summary of the current operational state of the UPS. Only one
of the several possible overview screens is available at any moment. The current screen is automatically
determined based upon the UPS state.
UPS Start-Up Screens Sequence
The Start-Up Screens consist of a series of automatically sequencing ‘System Overview Screens’. These
screens notify operator of steps taken by UPS during its initialization. The sequence of Start-Up screens
begins when AC input power is detected at UPS input.
If the correct AC input power is available and no abnormal operating conditions are present then the
following system message will be displayed on the LCD screen.

Next, the LCD will report the current date and time. If necessary , the proper date and time can be set from
the ‘Data Settings Screens’ (see pages 38 and 41 for details). The date and time appear using the format
depicted in the following example:
11/04/2001(WED)
15.:22:47
Next, the LCD will report the current UPS Operational Mode and the current percentage of the maximum
UPS capacity being supplied. Initially, the UPS is in bypass mode, and the following screen will appear:

Shortly after transfer into the UPS online (normal) mode, the UPS will automatically begin a battery test if
the setting is enabled (see page 40). This test ensures a healthy battery system is available should it be
necessary to support the load. During the test, the LCD reports the current battery voltage as a percent
of its expected value at full charge. This fi gure will drop throughout the test, as the battery voltage is
intentionally lowered to test performance. The test lasts for about 10 seconds, during which the following
screen appears:

Preventive Maintenance/Parts Replacement
Preventive Maintenance
Toshiba’s 1600EP Series of uninterruptible power systems have been designed to provide years of
trouble-free operation requiring a minimum of preventive maintenance.
The best preventive measure that the UPS user can take is to keep the area around the unit, particularly
the air inlet vents, clean and free of moisture and dust accumulations. If the atmosphere of the installation
site is very dusty, use a vacuum cleaner to periodically remove dust accumulations around and from the
unit.
CAUTION
Only a qualifi ed Toshiba Representative should be allowed to perform any
routine maintenance or service on this equipment other than those preventive
maintenance details which are described directly above this caution.
Parts Replacement
The following list shows recommended intervals for periodic replacement of certain UPS parts:
1 Batteries: In order to maintain system reliability, the UPS batteries should be replaced on a
regular schedule. To ensure reliable operation, all of the batteries should be replaced at the
same time. Use the following chart for replacement:
