2.1 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the PowerWave 1000 UPS.

High reliability, low operating cost and excellent electrical performance are just some of the highlights of this innovative
UPS solution.

By employing the latest technological developments in power engineering, the PowerWave 1000 represents a new
generation of transformerless UPS-System. Its advanced double conversion Voltage and Frequency Independent (VFI)
topology responds fully to both the highest availability, and environmentally friendly requirements, compliant with IEC
62040-3 (VFI-SS-111) standards. A full UPS specification is shown in chapter 9 of this manual.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd specialises in the installation and maintenance of Uninterruptible Power Systems; and
this powerful UPS is just one example of our wide range of state-of-the-art power protection devices that will provide your
critical equipment with a steady and reliable power supply for many years to come.

The PowerWave 1000 key features include:

• High-frequency transformerless technology with a rack/tower-compatible enclosure which permits the integration of
the UPS even under the most challenging space constraints.

• Up to four PowerWave 1000 UPS modules can be configured to operate as a parallel system, with designed
module redundancy to further enhance the overall system reliability.

• ‘OFF LINE’ (ECO) operating mode is available to reduce running costs of suitable applications.

• User friendly design that permits simple and trouble-free installation.

• The use of maintenance-free batteries reduces the need for after-sales service.

• True on-line technology continuously supplies your critical applications with stable, regulated, transient-free, pure
sine-wave AC power.

• Highly efficient PWM sine-wave technology yields excellent UPS efficiency. The high crest factor of the inverter
means that it can handle loads with peak inrush current characteristics and so avoids a need to upgrade to a UPS
with a higher power rating.

• Compliance with stringent international standards for electromagnetic interference & protection.

• Inbuilt frequency changer capabilities that can be selected for 50/60 Hz or 60/50 Hz input/output frequency
operation (single module installation only).

• Fully digitized control logic for better functionality and high quality output power supply. Digital signal processing
(DSP) also provides an efficient communication capability that facilitates flexible remote control and monitoring
options.

• An active input power factor correction (PFC) control function that produces in an input power factor (PF) of +0.99,
resulting in outstanding energy efficiency.

• Operation over a wide range of input voltages. The UPS will operate normally with a utility supply of 160V~288V
without draining the battery – which extends the battery service life.

• A DC-start function permits the UPS to be started during a utility power failure if required.

• A revolutionary battery management circuit continuously analyses the battery status during discharge and adjusts
the battery cut-off point accordingly – which once again maximises the battery service life.

• A selectable bypass voltage tolerance (low/high sensitivity) can be used to restrict the range of voltages that can
be applied to the load when the UPS operates on bypass.
The selectable voltage ranges are 184V~260V (low sensitivity) and 194V~260V (high sensitivity).

2: General Description

• A range of UPS output voltages (200/208/220/230/240V) can be selected to suit the local supply or specific load
voltage requirements.

• An overload detection system automatically switches the UPS output from its inverter to an internal bypass in the
event of an overload that exceeds the rated inverter capacity; and automatically switches back to the inverter mode
once the overload condition clears.

• An output short-circuit detection circuit turns off the UPS and disconnects its output supply until the cause of the
short circuit is manually remedied.

2.2 PowerWave 1000 Model range

The PowerWave 1000 UPS range compromises 4.5 kVA, 6 kVA, 8kVA and 10 kVA models, each of which comprises two
matching enclosures. The main UPS enclosure contains the major UPS power components, including a rectifier, battery
charger, inverter and static switch; and the second enclosure contains the UPS battery pack.

The enclosures can be configured as a floor-standing tower unit, or installed in a standard 19" rack. An accessory pack
containing all the parts necessary to prepare the enclosures for either type of installation is supplied with the UPS.

When installed as a tower system, the UPS and battery enclosures are mechanically attached together to form a single
unit. For 19" rack mounting it is usual to fit the UPS system near the bottom of a rack with the UPS enclosure mounted
immediately above the battery enclosure – see chapter 3 (Installation) for mechanical configuration details.

Optional equipment, designed to enhance the overall UPS installation, include a matching extended battery enclosure, an
external (maintenance) bypass enclosure and an isolation transformer.

The PowerWave 1000 UPS module can be operated as a stand-alone UPS, or up to four modules can be connected in
parallel and configured to operate as a multi-module UPS system. A multi-module configuration is generally chosen either
to increase a system’s total output power capacity or to increase the system’s overall reliability by providing module
redundancy.

In this manual the terms ‘multi-module system’ and ‘parallel system’ are synonymous.

2.3.1 UPS Internal operation

Figure 2.1 UPS Functional block diagram

EMI Filters

The UPS has an input and output EMI filter to reduce the effects of any electromagnetic noise generated by the UPS – i.e.
reduces external radio interference.

Battery charger

A multi-stage battery charger is powered from the utility mains input supply and charges the battery whenever the input
supply is available. The charger uses an intelligent charging profile to obtain the best battery charge/discharge
performance and thereby optimise the battery life.

AC/DC Converter

As its name suggests, the AC/DC Converter converts the utility mains input into a controlled DC power supply that is
suitable for use by the inverter. The converter uses leading-edge switched-mode techniques which produces an input
power factor of almost unity over its operating range (0.99 at full rated linear load) and thereby maximises the UPS input
efficiency. The converter can satisfy the inverter DC power demands over a utility input voltage range of between
160V~288V, which means that the battery is not called upon even during substantial power dips (brownouts), once again
maximising battery life and availability.

DC/DC Boost converter

In times of utility mains failure, the AC/DC converter shuts down and it is no longer able to power the inverter. Under these
circumstances, the inverter input power is provided by the battery via the DC/DC boost converter, which now turns on to
increase the battery voltage to the level that required by the inverter to continue its normal operation. The DC/DC
converter provides a regulated DC output as the battery voltage decays during battery discharge, and includes voltage
and current monitoring, and overload protection.

DC/AC Inverter

The inverter converts the DC input voltage connected to its input (from either the utility mains supply via the AC/DC
converter, or from the battery via the DC/DC converter) into a regulated AC output voltage suitable to power the connected
load equipment. The control logic associated with this power block is substantial, and in addition to the output voltage
regulation, it provides various levels of overload protection, frequency regulation and synchronisation, and output voltage
error detection.

Static switch

The static switch provides a means of connecting the UPS AC output (load supply) to either the inverter or to a static
bypass line, which is connected directly to the raw utility mains supply. The control logic within this power block will
transfer the load to the bypass supply in the event of overload or UPS (inverter) malfunction. Note that a controlled (no­break) transfer can take place only if the inverter output frequency and the static bypass line frequency are fully
synchronised.

UPS ON-BATTERY Mode

This is the UPS mode of operation if the utility input
fails during normal (ON-LINE) operation:

The battery discharges through the DC/DC boost
converter which provides the DC power for the
inverter input.
The Inverter convert the DC supplied by the DC/DC
boost converter back into AC suitable for
connecting to the load.
The static switch connects the inverter output to the
UPS output (load) terminals.

UPS OFF

This is the state of the UPS when it is turned off
from the operator control panel – it is effectively
running in bypass mode. It also applies if the UPS
locks out due to a fault:

• If the utility supply is still available, the
battery charger will be live and maintain the
battery charging.

• UPS output has raw mains available.

UPS ON-LINE Mode

This is the UPS normal mode of operation:
The battery charger charges the battery.
The AC/DC converter processes the utility mains
input and turns it into controlled DC power for the
inverter input.
The inverter converts the DC supplied by the AC/
DC converter back into AC suitable for connecting
to the load.
The static switch connects the inverter output to
the UPS output (load) terminals.

UPS ON-BYPASS Mode

This is the ‘normal’ mode of operation if the UPS is
used in its ECO mode, otherwise this mode is
usually entered if the UPS has a fault or overload:

The battery is permanently charged as long as the
battery charger is still serviceable and able to
operate. (If the bypass transfer was due to a UPS
fault the battery charger might also have shut
down.)
The static switch connects the UPS output (load)
terminals directly to the raw utility mains via the
static bypass line.

2: General Description

8 UPS725-02-02 PowerWave 1000 (4.5 - 10 kVA) User Manual UK Dated 13/03/15

Paragraph 2.3.1 described the internal operation of an individual UPS module. However, as an operational unit the UPS
can be described as being in one of four modes – UPS OFF, ON-LINE, ON-BATTERY and ON-BYPASS – as illustrated in
Figure 2.2.

UPS systems are generally categorised as being either ‘On-line’ or ‘Off-line’ systems, and you can configure the
PowerWave 1000 to operate in either one. The difference between the two types of system are described below.

On-line UPS system operation

When used as an ‘on-line’ UPS the PowerWave 1000 is configured to normally operate in the ON-LINE mode, as shown
in Figure 2.2. In the event of a utility supply failure the UPS changes to its ON-BATTERY mode without affecting the UPS
output supply – i.e the changeover is totally transparent at the UPS output. The UPS then continues to provide its rated
output until the battery discharges to a low cut-off point, at which time the UPS will shut down in a controlled manner. An
alarm will warn that the battery is discharging to enable the operator to take any necessary intervention to protect the load
integrity.

During ON-LINE operation if the UPS experiences an inverter fault or overload condition the static switch transfers the
load to the static bypass line (ON-BYPASS mode) automatically and without interruption (transfer time = 0) provided the
inverter and bypass supplies are synchronised.

If the transfer is due to a UPS overload the static switch will transfer the load back to the inverter if the overload clears, and
the UPS will return to its normal ON-LINE mode of operation.

This system provides the highest degree of load protection, especially in the event of a utility mains disturbance or
complete failure; and we always recommended its use if the critical load (e.g. computer system) will not tolerate even very
brief supply interruption.

Off-line operation (single module installation only)

When the PowerWave 1000 is used as an ‘off-line’ UPS it is normally operated in its ON BYPASS mode (Figure 2.2), with
the load supplied via the static bypass line. However the AC/DC converter and battery charger are still powered up and
maintain battery charging, and the inverter section is turned on and operating on standby.

In the event of a static bypass supply error, the inverter is immediately brought on line and the load is transferred from the
static bypass to the inverter by the static switch within 3 to 5 milliseconds – so the UPS is now operating in its ON-LINE
mode. If the utility mains supply is unavailable when the transfer takes place, the UPS inverter will support the load
operating from its battery power (i.e. ON-BATTERY mode).

When the static bypass supply returns to normal, the load is re transferred back to the static bypass line and the inverter
returns to its standby operation.

Operating in this mode is slightly more energy efficient than operating in the on-line mode due to the reduced AC/DC
converter and inverter losses during normal system operation; and it is sometimes referred to as the “ECO” (economy)
mode. However this mode is recommended only if the connected load equipment can tolerate power interruptions of up to
3~5 ms during the transfer period.

Frequency changer operation (single module installation only)

In addition to the more normal on-line and off-line system operation, the PowerWave 1000 can also be used in a
‘frequency changer’ mode where the inverter output is produced at a different frequency to that of the utility supply – for
example 50 Hz utility mains input with 60 Hz UPS output, or vice versa.

When operating in this mode it is clearly not possible to switch the load between the inverter and bypass, so the bypass
side of the static switch is electronically disabled by the UPS control logic, which means that the static bypass line is not
available to assist clearing an overload. For this reason it is recommended that the UPS is operated to a maximum 75%
load capacity if the input voltage is 176~280 VAC and 50% if the input voltage range is set to 160-280 Vac.

WARNING: The on-line mode should always be used for critical load protection.

2: General Description

2.3.3 Parallel system operation

Up to four PowerWave 1000 UPS modules can be connected in parallel for increased power capacity or redundancy
operation. A functional block diagram of a three module parallel system is shown in Figure 2.3.

A PowerWave 1000 UPS parallel system has a decentralised bypass architecture in that each UPS module contains its
own static switch and static bypass line. This eliminates the need for a separate bypass cabinet (as required by some
manufacturers’ systems) and so avoids a potential single point of failure.

In a multi-module parallel system, the topology and internal operation of each UPS module is identical to that described
previously for a stand-alone system. However, when operating as part of a parallel system it is critical that UPS control
functions such as load sharing, frequency synchronisation, and load transfer between UPS and bypass, are observed by
all the connected modules. In the PowerWave 1000 UPS system the ‘inter-module’ control functions are achieved using a
parallel control bus which takes the form of a ring network connected to all the modules in the system that allows the
modules to communicated with each other to properly share their control operation.

When a parallel system is installed, each module is assigned a numerical position within the parallel ring and the ‘first’
module is deemed to be the ‘master’ from which the other modules take their lead. If the ‘master’ module undergoes a
problem, or is shut down, the next highest available module in the ring will take over the ‘master’ role. This avoids a
potential single point of failure in the parallel chain and ensures the highest level of power availability.

Parallel system capacity expansion

Some applications present a low initial power demand which increases over time as the application grows; and it is
essential that the installed system can be expanded to meet the growing needs without compromising the existing load.
This situation is easily managed in a PowerWave 1000 parallel system installation which allows an additional module to be
connected to an existing parallel system (up to a maximum of four modules).

Module redundancy

If a system is designed with module redundancy it contains at least one UPS module over and above that necessary to
power the system’s connected load.

For example, if the system shown in Figure 2.3 comprises 3x10 kVA modules it could be employed as a redundant module
system for a load of up to 20 kVA. This means that under normal circumstances each module shares the load equally and
supplies up to 6.6 kVA; but if one module fails, or is taken off-line, the remaining two modules can sustain the full rated
load by each serving 10 kVA. The ability to lose one module yet still provided the rated load with processed, backed-up
power significantly increases the overall system reliability.

Note: If a parallel system is operating with a redundant module the

N+1

led will be fully illuminated on the all the module

control panels.

System-wide load transfer operation

All the UPS modules that are connected to the load in a parallel system must be in the same internal mode of operation at
all times – i.e. it is not permissible for one module to be operating in an ON-LINE mode with the remaining modules in an
ON-BYPASS mode, as such a situation would certainly damage the UPS modules.

Note: If any module in the system generates a

LOAD ON BYPASS

or

LOAD ON INVERTER

command it is signalled to all

the connected modules via the parallel control bus so they will all simultaneously switch to the

ON-BYPASS

mode or the

ON-LINE

mode (provided a sufficient number of modules are available) accordingly.

Key Point: All the UPS modules connected to a parallel system must be of the same model type and power
rating.

Figure 2.3 PowerWave 1000 UPS Parallel system

Inter-module frequency synchronisation and load sharing

Using sensing signals passed over the parallel control bus, each UPS is able to compare its own frequency and output
current with that of its neighbouring modules and carry out fine adjustments to achieve balanced conditions.

Isolating a module from the system

As explained immediately above, if a parallel system is operating with module redundancy it is possible to isolate a module
from the system for service or repair without affecting the remaining modules, or load. But in order to do this safely, each
module should by connected to the utility mains through a dedicated input supply circuit breaker and each UPS output
should be similarly connected to the load via a dedicated output circuit breaker – as illustrated in Figure 2.3.

Once a module’s output circuit breaker is open there is no load power being drawn from its inverter and it can be shut
down in the normal way without affecting the remain on-line modules.

2.4 Operator control panel

The UPS is fully controlled from the operator control panel located on the front of the unit.

Figure 2.4 Operator control panel

2.4.1 LED Indicators

Input mains supply status

This led indicates that the utility mains voltage applied to the UPS input terminals is within the specified operating range
(168~288 VAC) and is therefore normally illuminated. The led flashes if the supply falls to within 120~168 VAC and
extinguishes altogether in the event of a total utility supply failure.

Bypass mains supply status

This indicates the state of the bypass mains supply. This supply is internally linked to the UPS input supply terminals in
the 4.5 kVA, 6 kVA and 8 kVA models and this indicator will therefore reflect the utility supply status indication above;
however in the 10 kVA the UPS bypass terminals are optional connected to a dedicated bypass supply.

N+1 Redundancy status

Used in a parallel system only. This led is fully illuminated when the number of on-line UPS modules exceeds the number
required to power the existing load by at least one module – i.e. the system can afford to lose one module without having
to transfer the load to the bypass supply due to an overload.
The led brightness will dim if the load increases (or the number of on-line modules decreases) to the point where system
redundancy no longer exists.

ECO Mode

This led illuminates when the UPS is set to operate in the ECO mode, which is available on a single module installation
only.

UPS fault indication

This LED illuminates to indicate a fault condition within the UPS that needs attention.

Utility supply defective

Utility supply defective at the UPS input terminals.

UPS OFF

This mimic is displayed when the utility power is first applied to the UPS, or if the UPS is turned OFF due to
a fault. It shows that the battery is being charged from the utility (LINE) but the LOAD is isolated from the
UPS, and is therefore unpowered.

UPS ON

This mimic is displayed during normal UPS operation. It shows the battery being charged from the utility
(LINE) and the LOAD connected to the UPS output – and therefore being supplied with processed, backed­up power.

ON BATTERY MODE

This mimic is displayed if the utility supply fails. It shows the battery now providing the UPS and LOAD
power. The battery will sustain the UPS output until it is discharged, whereupon the UPS will shutdown.

LOAD ON BYPASS MODE

This mimic is displayed if the UPS develops a fault (or is overloaded), whereupon the load is transferred to
the bypass line and therefore connected directly to the unprotected utility supply (LINE). The battery will
remain on charge if the UPS charger is healthy.
The load can be manually switched from the UPS to Bypass by pressing the OFF button for approximately
5 seconds, or from the Bypass to UPS by pressing the ON button.

2: General Description

2.5.1 Communication options

Several communication options can connected to the PowerWave 1000 rear panel. These are described briefly below with
further details provided in chapter 8 (Options).

RS-232 Interface port (Figure 2.7 item 2)

The RS-232 port also allows the UPS to be connected to a PC. It can be used
with the UPS external monitoring and shutdown software (WAVEMON) and
with the supplied UPS Configuration Software.

The RS-232 interface should be set as follows:

Emergency power off (EPO) (Figure 2.7 item 4)

If an external emergency power off (EPO) facility is required, a normally-open circuit must be connected to the two pin
plug located on the UPS enclosure rear panel. When the external emergency power off circuit is operated it connects a
short-circuit across these terminals and effects a total UPS shutdown. A plug-in connector with screwed terminals is
supplied ready fitted to the EPO socket to simplify the connection of the external cable if the UPS is located in a confined
space such as when it is rack mounted.

Optional interface card slot (Figure 2.7 item 6)

Four optional interface cards are available to meet various communication needs: DCE (dry contact relay card), R2E, USE
and SNMP/Web. These cards can be fitted into the options slot located behind a blanking plate on the UPS back panel, as
shown. Full installation and set-up procedures are provided in chapter 8.

The software bundled with the UPS is compatible with most operating systems including Windows 98, 2000, ME, NT and
XT. For other applications, such as Novell Netware, Unix or Linux please contact your local dealer for suitable products.

All of the fitted communication ports, including the optional cards, can be active and used simultaneously to monitor the
UPS status. However, only one communication (the one with the highest priority) has the ability to command and control
the UPS at any given time.

The priority of the communication interfaces are:

1. EPO input port.

2. Optional slot-mounted interface card.

3. RS-232.

3.1 Unpacking the UPS equipment

The manufacturer has designed robust packaging for your product to help ensure it reaches you in good order; however,
accidents and damage may sometimes occur during shipment. You should inspect the UPS carefully upon receipt and if
there are signs of damage you must inform the carrier and dealer immediately.

The packaging is recyclable; save it for re-use or dispose of it appropriately and correctly.

1. Remove the UPS from the packing carton.

2. Check the package contents. The standard unit includes:

a) User Manual.
b) A set of UPS communication software complete with RS232 cable.
c) A mounting accessories kit which allows the UPS/Battery cabinets to be configured for Tower or Rack installation.
d) Battery connecting cable.

3. Before proceeding with the installation, check that the voltage and power ratings on the data plate located on the rear
of the UPS matches the equipment order details. Contact your dealer if this is incorrect.

3.2 Selecting a suitable installation location

As the UPS weighs several kilograms, the intended location must e able to safely support its weight.

To ensure correct operation and a long service life, the site where the UPS is to be installed must satisfy the following
environmental condition:

• The UPS must be installed in a sheltered location. It is not designed for outdoor use.

• The installed location must be dry and free of excessive dust.

• The UPS must not be installed in a corrosive environment or in the vicinity of flammable items.

• The ambient temperature and humidity must be within the limits specified in chapter 9 of this manual.

• The ventilation grills at the front of the UPS and extractor fans at the rear of the UPS must not be obstructed.

• The UPS equipment must be installed with the clearances illustrated in Figure 3.1 as a minimum.

Rack mounting

When rack mounting the UPS in a standard 19 in cabinet, a minimum cabinet depth of 900 mm
is required in order to provide an adequate exhaust airflow from the cooling fans on the rear of
the UPS enclosure.

An adjustable rack mounting kit that can be extended to fit a 900 mm cabinet is available.

A clearance of 800 mm (31 in) is required at the rear of the rack to permit pedestrian access to
cable-up the UPS; and 800 mm is also required at the front of the rack to allow sufficient room
to lift and install the enclosures onto the rack mounting rails or shelf.
Due to weight distribution considerations, the UPS and Battery enclosures must be kept level
while they are inserted into the rack to prevent them from tilting backwards.

Tow er mou nti ng

With regards to a Tower installation, there are two sets of clearance
criteria to consider; the first is to satisfy the ventilation requirements,
and the other concerns the installation cabling access.

For ventilation purposes, a minimum of 300 mm (12 in) free space
must be provided at the front and rear of the UPS to permit adequate
cooling air flow; however, a rear clearance of 500 mm (20 in) and side
clearance of 300 mm (12 in) is necessary to gain cabling access to the
rear of the UPS.

Depending on the installed location, a compromise can sometimes be
achieved by installing the enclosure with a sufficient cable length to
enable it to be pulled forward sufficiently for rear access.
If the UPS is installed in a location which is subject to regular
pedestrian passage, it is recommended that the front clearance is
increased to at least 1000 mm (40 in).

1. First, assemble two tower feet (A1) by attaching
the foot to the sole plate (see Figure 3.2).

2. Turn the UPS enclosure on its side and attach the
two assembled tower feet to the enclosure’s left
hand base, as shown in Figure 3.3 top diagram.

3. Attach two tower feet sole plates (without feet) to
the enclosure’s right hand base so that they do
not protrude from the side of the enclosure as
shown in Figure 3.3 top diagram.
This is necessary to ensure the UPS enclosure
stands level when it is turned back onto its feet.

4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 on the base of the battery
enclosure; but in this case ensure that the
protruding feet are fitted to the battery enclosure’s
right hand side.
Note that Figure 3.3 lower diagram is provided to
illustrate the positional relationship between the
UPS and battery enclosure feet only. In practice,
the UPS enclosure would not normally be laying
on top of the battery enclosure while fitting the
battery enclosure feet.

5. Carefully lift both assemblies and stand them on
their feet adjacent to each other with the battery
enclosure to the right of the UPS enclosure (see
Figure 3.4).

orientated. To achieve this, carefully pull the control panel
forward to unclip it from its mounting, rotate it to the correct
angle, then relocate it and press it back into place.

7. Remove three screws from the top of the each enclosure (two
from the front and one from the back), as identified in the top
diagram of Figure 3.4.

8. Remove two screws from the top of each enclosure as
identified in the bottom diagram of Figure 3.4.

9. Fit two tie bars (A3) between the enclosures, using screws S1,
to secure them together (Figure 3.4 bottom diagram).

10. Attach the angle brackets (A2) to the top front of the UPS
enclosure, using two screws, such that the lip of the bracket
faces the front of the enclosure. (Figure 3.4 top diagram).

11. Locate the new UPS enclosure top panel (A3) into the bracket
(A2) and secure it in place by screwing it to the top rear of the
enclosure using a single screw.

12. Repeat the above two steps to fit the new top cover to the
battery enclosure.

13. Move the completed UPS tower assembly to its final location
then connect the battery cable between the UPS and battery
enclosures. The battery cable must be secured in place using
the clamp (attached).

14. This completes the tower hardware configuration. The UPS
should now be commissioned as detailed in paragraph 3.6
before it is put into service.

3.5 Electrical Wiring

In addition to the UPS input and output power cables, the UPS requires the following cables to be connected prior to
commissioning (depending on the installed options and UPS system configuration):

• Battery connection cable – required for all modules.

• Parallel control bus cables – required for parallel system only.

• Emergency power off (EPO) – optional for all systems (see page 15).

• Communications options – optional for all systems (see Chapter 8).

General cabling notes

In order to minimise any problems due to noise interference always use separate cable runs for the various power cables
and control cables. In particular, if the control cables have to run parallel to the power cables keep a separation distance of
20 cm if possible. Do not attach the control cables to the power cable looms using cable ties, spiral-wrap or any other
means. Where the control cables have to cross the power cables make best effort to ensure they do so at an angle of 90º.

3.5.1 Power cables

Depending on the model variant, the UPS input and output power cables can be connected either by means of a plug/
socket connector or hard-wired to a terminal block. If a plug/socket arrangement is used then a ready cabled plug will be
supplied with the UPS equipment. If a terminal block connection is used then the provision of all external cables and fuses
(or circuit breakers) used to connect the UPS input and output terminals to their respective distribution panels is the
responsibility of the customer. All cables and fuses should be rated according to the maximum UPS system rating in
accordance with local regulations.

For guidance:

• Fuse and cable recommendations must be to IEC 60950-1:2001.

• All external fuses, isolators and power cables must be rated and installed in accordance with the prescribed IEC
standards or local regulation – e.g. BS7671:2008.

Parallel system power cable considerations

In order to obtain the optimum balanced conditions, when cabling a parallel module system you should ensure that the
input cables to each module are of equal length and not longer than 25m. The output cables from all modules to the load
distribution panel should similarly be of equal lengths and a maximum of 25m.

4. Restore the UPS utility input supply and check that the operator control panel.

a) The utility input led should illuminate on the operator control panel.
b) The LCD mimic should indicate ‘On Line’ mode of operation.

5. Turn off the UPS and isolate its input/bypass supply.

This completes the individual module configuration and functional check. Repeat the above procedure on ALL modules
before going to 3.7.3.

3.7.2 Output voltage calibration

Before you connect the UPS modules together to form a parallel system, it is important that you check the output voltage
from each module in turn. If a module’s output voltage is more than 1V higher/lower than the other modules then its output
should be calibrated using the UPS Setting Tool software, as described in paragraph 3.8.4.

3.7.3 Configuring each UPS module for parallel operation

Once the modules have been individually set-up and functionally checked, they must be configured for parallel operation.

The position of each module within the parallel system is numerically identified during this set-up, with module 1 serving as

the ‘master’ module. Before you commence this procedure you should either sketch out or label the modules with their
intended identification number as an aide memoir.

Carry out the follow procedure on each module in turn, beginning with module 1:

Setting the terminal resistors

1. Ensure that the parallel bus cables are connected in a ring network between the parallel UPS modules.

2. On the UPS modules at either end of the parallel system (i.e. bottom-most/top-most or left-most/right-most), turn ON
switch S1 on the rear of the UPS, adjacent to the parallel bus control cables.

Troubleshooting other fault codes that might appear

3.8 UPS Setting Tool

The UPS Setting Tool is a software application that is
supplied with the PowerWave 1000. It enables you to select
certain basic UPS basic operating functions, calibrate the
UPS output voltage, and set-up the module’s single/parallel
operating parameters to make it suitable for either mode of
operation.

The operating parameters can also be set-up from the UPS
control panel, as described in paragraph 3.6 for a single
module installation, or paragraph 3.7.1 for a parallel module
system.

In order to use the UPS Setting Tool you must connect an
RS232 serial cable between the UPS COM port and the
computer on which the application is installed – with the
computer COM port configured as described in paragraph

2.5.1.

Note: If you are using the application on a laptop that does

not have a serial port, you will require a readily available
USB-to-RS232 serial adapter cable.

3.8.2 Generating a UPS profile and data file

The UPS settings you apply through this tool can be saved to a data file on your computer for later recall. This allows you
to observe the changes you’ve made over time, and provides an easy way to restore a previous configuration profile if
required. This procedure shows you how to set up a data file for the specific UPS machine, generate a configuration data
record and then access the file to observe the configuration history.

1. In the top right-hand corner of the UPS Setting Tool enter some unique
details to identify the connected UPS.

2. Click the Write button to send the identification data to the UPS, where
it will be stored in memory.

a) Click the Yes button in the Writing?? confirmation dialog.
b) The UPS will beep twice to confirm that it has received the data.
c) Click OK to clear the Transmit OK dialog.

3. To save the machine profile data to the UPS memory, you must reset the
UPS by turning OFF its input supply then turning it back ON again.

4. At any time when the UPS is re-started you can download the data held
in the UPS memory by clicking the Read button. This will then populate
the UPS Setting Tool fields with the stored values.

5. To set up a new data file, click File>New from the menu bar.

6. Using standard Windows file navigation methods, select the directory in
which you want to save the file, enter a filename, and click the Open
button to save the file.

7. The file will be save with a .ret filetype.

8. If you open the file (using File>Open from the menu bar) you will see an
empty data file, similar to that shown below

.

9. To add a record for the current configuration data, select Record>Add New from the menu bar.

10. The new record will now be shown in the data file. The Name of Company and UPS type details are shown in the
first two fields to identify the UPS machine.

11. In order to associate the data file with the UPS you must once again turn OFF the UPS input supply then turn it back
ON again. This will store a reference to the data filename in the UPS memory and enable quick access when you want
to open the file in the future.

3.8.3 Setting up the basic UPS operating parameters

The UPS Setting Tool allows you to set up several basic UPS operating parameters.

1. Select the required parameters using the drop-down selector boxes
(*default):

a) Display System voltage selection – 220V*, 110V.
b) Vo (Output voltage selection) – 200V, 208V, 220V*, 230V, 240V.
c) UPS Mode – Normal mode* (50Hz input/output), CF50 (50Hz/60Hz

input/output), CF60 (60Hz/50Hz input/output). Note that in a parallel
system Normal mode is the only permitted selection.

d) Number of battery – number of battery block fitted. If it important

that this is set correctly as it affects the battery charging parameters.

e) I.D. of UPS – Set to 01 in a single module installation. In a

parallel system this sets the module identity within the parallel chain.

The module set at 01 is the master module, and the remaining

modules must be set to 02, 03 or 04 respectively.
f) Parallel/Non-Parallel – Set to 01 in a single module installation and 02 in a parallel module system.
g) Fine Tuning (Output Voltage) – +3%, +2%, +1%, 0%*, -1%, -2%, -3%.
h) Bypass Voltage Window – Sensitivity Low*, Sensitivity High.
i) Syn-Frequency Window– 3Hz*, 1Hz.

2. Once all the parameters have been selected, click the Write

button to send the data to the UPS.

a) Click the Yes button in the Writing?? confirmation dialog.
b) The UPS will beep twice to confirm that it has received the data.
c) Click OK to clear the Transmit OK dialog.

3. To apply the changes you must now turn OFF the UPS input supply then turn it back ON again.

3.8.4 Output voltage calibration

This procedure can be used to calibrate the UPS output voltage and requires access to the UPS output terminals to
enable the output voltage to be measured. It can be used to accurately ‘trim’ the output voltage in a single module
installation, or to match the output of all the modules connected to a parallel system.

Note: In a parallel system this should be carried out on the individual modules before they are connected together.

Calibration is carried out at 220V irrespective of the desired UPS output voltage.

1. Turn ON the utility supply and close the UPS input circuit breaker and
battery circuit breaker located on the rear of the UPS/battery enclosures.

a) The LCD Display will turn on and all of its symbols will illuminate for

approximately 3 seconds.

b) The status leds will all turn on for approximately 3 seconds and then

extinguish except for the utility input supply and bypass supply (green)
leds, which will remain lit.

c) The LCD panel will indicate that the battery is on charge and the UPS

is

off.

2. Ensure there is no load connected to the module output.

3. Simultaneously press and hold the ON and ENTER buttons for 3~5
seconds, until a beep is heard, and then release them.

a) The N+1 led will illuminate to show that you are in the calibration

mode.

4. Measure the output voltage using an accurate DVM and note the result – if
the indication is anything other than 220V it represents an error.

the LCD mimic will display the UPS connected to the battery and the
UPS status will be shown as

off.

Following the second button press

a) The LCD display will initially keep the UPS

off screen displayed for a

few seconds and will then run a self-test routine for several seconds,
during which time the LCD screen will show the input voltage (

r 0 V).

b) The audible alarm will sound intermittently but may be silenced by

pressing the alarm silence (ON) button.

c) If the UPS passes its self test routine it will turn on the inverter and begin

to provide output power. The LCD mimic display will show that the UPS
is operating ‘on battery’ mode.

4: Single Module Operating Procedures

4.4 Manual load transfer between inverter and bypass

Some installations might include an external (maintenance) bypass circuit connected in parallel with the UPS to provide an
alternative power source for the load supply. Such installations are designed to enable the UPS to be totally removed or
powered down, for troubleshooting, without disrupting the load.

When an external bypass facility is installed, the circuit design does not include a safety interlock to prevent the external
bypass circuit from being closed if the UPS is operating on-line – i.e. to prevent the external bypass from back-feeding the
UPS inverter and causing it damage. This means that the transfer between the UPS and external bypass is only permitted
when the UPS is itself operating on its internal bypass.

The PowerWave 1000 allows the operator to manually switch the load between inverter and bypass so that it can be used
within an external bypass environment.

In practice, a variety of external bypass designs are used, so explicit external bypass operating instructions are not
provided here. The following instructions refer only to the UPS internal inverter/bypass transfer operation.

4.4.1 Transferring the load from the UPS inverter to the internal bypass

1. Press the OFF button for approximately 3~5 seconds, until you hear a double

beep, then release it.

d) The LCD mimic will show the load connected to the input LINE via the

internal bypass.

e) The batteries are shown still connected to the input LINE and charging

(if the charger is still operative).

f) The audible alarm will sound but can be silenced by pressing the ON

button.

g) All metered parameters can be monitored as per normal.

Note: If the UPS input mains supply is disconnected when it is operating on

bypass, the UPS will not revert to battery power but will instead shut down with a

faIL status indication. The UPS internal electronics will remain powered from

the battery and all leds will extinguish apart from the red

FAULT

led, which will be

permanently lit, and the audible alarm will sound continuously.

4.4.2 Transferring the load from the static bypass back to the UPS inverter

1. Press the ON button for approximately 3~5 seconds, until you hear a double

beep, then release it.

a) The LCD mimic will show the load connected to the UPS.
b) The audible alarm will sound but can be silenced by pressing the ON

button.

c) The LCD display will revert to normal (on-line mode) indications.

5: Parallel UPS System Operating Procedures

7. On ALL modules, check that the Er21 error has disappeared from the LCD

screen and they now indicate the ‘on-bypass’ status.

a) If any module still shows

Er21 it indicates that it has a problem

concerning the parallel communication bus which must be rectified
before the UPS system can be turned on.

8. If ALL the modules are energised and operating in the ‘on-bypass’ mode,

you can now turn on the load by closing the external load isolators or
switching on the individual load items.

Note: The load will not be receiving protected power until the UPS system

has been fully turned on.

9. On each UPS module in turn (LEAVE MODULE 1 UNTIL LAST) –

Press and hold the UPS ON button for approximately 3~5 seconds until you
hear two beeps, then release it.

a) The UPS will indicate the bypass voltage.
b) The audible alarm will sound intermittently but can be silenced by

pressing the alarm silence (ON) button.

c) The UPS will run another tESt for about 4 seconds to check the battery

operation.

d) If the UPS does not complete its battery test successfully the LCD will

show a

FAIL status and the FAULT led will illuminate. If the self test is

successful the LCD will show an OK status for about 5 seconds.

10. When the ON button has been pressed on all module and they have

successfully passed their battery checks, they will carry out some further
‘parallel operation’ checks and, once these final tests are passed (typically
5~10 seconds), the modules will then simultaneously transfer their output
from the static bypass to the inverter.

a) The LCD mimic will now show the ‘on-line’ status with the battery being

charged.
b) The LCD meter will indicate the utility input voltage.
c) The utility input and bypass input power leds will remain illuminated

(green), and the N+1 led will be fully illuminated if there is system

redundancy.

11. You can now check all the metered input, output and battery parameters to
ascertain that the UPS system is working correctly (see page 40).

CAUTION: Congratulations. Your load is now being provided with consistent and backed-up power.

CAUTION: When turning on the UPS for the first time, or following a long shut down period, leave the unit

running for at least eight hours to fully charge the batteries before connecting any mission-critical load,
otherwise you may not obtain the specified battery autonomy time if the utility input supply fails.

This procedure assumes that the UPS system is to be totally shut down from a fully ‘On-line’ condition and no external
(maintenance) bypass facility is connected.

1. Turn off the load by opening the external load isolators or switching off the
individual load items.

2. On each UPS module in turn, press the OFF button for approximately 3~5
seconds, until you hear two beeps, then release it.

a) The input mains and bypass supply leds will remain lit.

b) The LCD screen will show the UPS status as

oFF.

c) On the LCD mimic, the load will be shown disconnected from the UPS

but the battery still connected to the input LINE and on charge (top

illustration).
d) Continue switching OFF the other modules.
e) When ALL the modules have been turned OFF they will simultaneously

switch to the ‘On-bypass’ mode and the LCD will be as shown in the

lower illustration.

3. To completely shut down the UPS:

a) Turn OFF the UPS utility supply (and bypass supply if separate).
b) Open the input circuit breaker(s) located on the back of the UPS.
c) Open the battery isolator on the back of the battery enclosure.

4. The UPS fans and control panel will remain operative for a few seconds
before the unit completely shuts down.

5.3 Manual load transfer between inverter and bypass

Some installations might include an external (maintenance) bypass circuit connected in parallel with the UPS to provide an
alternative power source for the load supply. Such installations are designed to enable the UPS system to be totally
powered down without disrupting the load – for example, for troubleshooting or repair.

To prevent the external bypass from back-feeding the UPS inverter and causing it damage, the transfer between the UPS
and external bypass is only permitted if the UPS is itself operating on its internal static bypass.

Note: In practice, a variety of external bypass designs are used, so e xplicit external bypass op erating instructi ons are n ot

provided here. The following instructions refer only to the UPS internal inverter/bypass transfer operati on.

5.3.1 Transferring the load from the UPS inverter to the internal bypass

1. Turn OFF ALL the UPS modules in turn by pressing their OFF button.

2. As the modules are turned off, the load will be transferred to the internal
static bypass line (‘on-bypass’ mode) in ALL modules when the number
modules remaining on line defeats the system’s redundancy (depending
on load).
On ALL modules:

a) The input mains and bypass supply leds will remain illuminated but

the N+1 led will extinguish.

b) The LCD screen will show the UPS status as

oFF.

c) On the LCD mimic, the load will be shown disconnected from the

UPS but the battery still connected to the input LINE and on charge.

d) All metered parameters can be monitored as per normal.

CAUTION: Before you shut down the UPS system you should first check with the load user that it is
operationally safe to disconnect the critical low power.

7: Troubleshooting

7.1 Introduction

If a fault occurs, due to either a UPS internal malfunction or severe overload
condition, the UPS will shut down and ‘lock-out’, and must be reset by the
operator, by turning the input power off and on, in order to bring it back into
operation. The red FAULT led will illuminate on the control panel and the LCD
will indicate an error code (see below).

Depending on the cause of the fault, the UPS may either shut down entirely
(top illustration) or transfer the load to the internal bypass line (lower
illustration).

In a parallel system, if one module shuts down due to a fault condition the
remaining modules will continue to operate and maintain the supply to the load
if the system redundancy permits. If the system redundancy is exceeded, then
ALL the remaining modules will transfer to ‘on-bypass’ operation (lower
illustration).

In a single module installation, if the UPS shuts down due to a fault condition
and is able to transfer the load to the static bypass then it will do so, to maintain the load supply (lower illustration).

7.2 Error codes

In general, under fault conditions the red FAULT led will illuminate and an audible warning will be given. Many faults can
be identified by briefly pressing the OFF button, which then displays a fault code on the LCD message area.

7

Troubleshooting

Key Point: If you press the OFF button for longer than five seconds the UPS will shut-down.

7: Troubleshooting

7.4 Troubleshooting an operational problem.

7.5 UPS Fault handling

7.5.1 UPS Overload

Items of electronics and IT equipment can generate an inrush current when they switch on.

To prevent severe inverter damage caused by inrush currents, the UPS is equipped with an electronic overload protection
feature which switches the load to the bypass line within 1 minute if the UPS load rises to between 105% – 120% of its
rated capacity. As inrush currents are normally short-lived, once the current being drawn from the bypass falls below
<105%, the UPS will switch back to inverter mode automatically.

Note that if the UPS is overloaded by >150% its inverter will shut down immediately.

The bypass line is also equipped with overload protection. Its overload capacity/time characteristics are illustrated in the
table below.

7.5.2 Output short circuit

Output load short circuit when the output supply is via inverter

If output load is short-circuited while it is being supplied via the inverter:

a) The inverter is shutdown immediately and stop the supply to the load.
b) The FAULT led will illuminate up and the audible alarm will beep continuously.
c) The UPS will not switch on automatically after the short-circuit condition is eliminated. It has to be re-started

manually (see paragraph 4.1.1).

Output short-circuit when the output supply via the bypass line

If the output load is short-circuited in bypass mode:

a) The utility fuse/breaker will be activated (open-circuited) to prevent the output load from damage.
b) You must replace the fuse with a fuse of the same rating after the cause of the short-circuit condition has been

rectified.

Symptom Possible Solution

UPS fails to provide battery back-up, or its back-up time is
shorter than its specified performance.

1. Ensure that the circuit breaker on the back of the battery enclosure
is closed.

2. Charge the battery for eight hours.

3. Recheck, and if the back-up time remains unsatisfactory after 8
hours of charging, please contact your local dealer for battery
replacement.

UPS operation appears to be normal but there is no output to
load.

1. Check that all output power cables are connected correctly, and all
output isolators are closed.

2. If the problem persists, consult your local dealer for technical
assistance.

The UPS switches to battery mode then back to on-line mode,
when the connected device is turned on.

Or, the UPS switches back and forth between battery and on-line
mode.

1. Check for a faulty UPS input cable or utility supply wall receptacle
and replace/repair any faulty item found.

2. If the problem persists, consult your local dealer for technical
assistance.

Strange noise and/or odour emitted by UPS 1. Immediately shut down the UPS System.

2. Disconnect the UPS input power and call for service.

7.5.3 Inverter/internal over-temperature

If the UPS experiences an internal over-temperature when the utility supply is normal it will transfer the load to the bypass
line, and switch back to inverter mode when the over-temperature situation has been eliminated.

If over temperature occurs when the utility supply is abnormal:

a) The audible alarm will beep continuously.
b) The FAULT led will illuminate.
c) The UPS will cut off the load supply.

7.5.4 Inverter over-current and output voltage out of tolerance

If the UPS develops a fault and its inverter delivers an over-current and out-of-tolerance voltage:

a) The UPS will transfer the load to the bypass line as long as the utility supply is normal.
b) The UTILITY led, BYPASS led and FAULT led will illuminate.

If these fault conditions occur when the utility supply is abnormal:

a) The UPS will cut off the supply to its outlets and shut down.
b) The FAULT led will illuminate.

8.1 The importance of UPS management

The utility supply is inevitably unreliable every now and then; and assuring continuous power to all the facilities connected
to it can be a difficult task. The situation is further complicated if worldwide systems are managed via a Local Area
Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN).

However, by using the PowerWave 1000 UPS system in conjunction with purpose-designed network management tools, a
systems administrator can take measures to back-up data and prevent system errors or data loss even in the event of a
relatively long utility supply outage. In the case of an abnormal utility supply, suitable UPS management software will also
enable a system administrator to monitor all concerned networks from a central point and identify bottlenecks at an early
stage.

In spite of extensive system monitoring, if an administrator fails to intervene in a timely manner serious damage can still
occur. It is important therefore that the installed UPS software will react automatically in such a case and shut down the
supplied system in a safe and controlled manner.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd considers it important to have a complete solution for its UPS systems, and offers its
customers a number of remote control and monitoring tools to provide optimum protection.

WAVEMON is a software application designed to operate with many of the systems supplied by Uninterruptible Power
Supplies Ltd and features both UPS monitoring and automatic UPS/server shutdown facilities. It comprises a bespoke
software package which is installed on a local PC and communicates with the UPS via USB or a standard RS232 serial
cable of up to 15m in length.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd offer suitable monitoring software with SNMP functionality for NetWare, OS/2, all
Windows NT systems on INTEL and ALPHA network platforms.

The main features of WAVEMON are:

• On-screen autonomy time/battery time countdown.

• On-screen server log-off and shutdown procedure.

• Time and date stamp event log.

• Extensive logging of all UPS activity and power quality data.

• Permits alarm warnings to be monitored remotely via email.

• Scheduled UPS service mode and other systems status.

• Graphical user interface for Windows-compatible platforms.

• Automatic unattended local shutdown.

• Special modules for MS-Office software to close and save open documents.

• Compatible with all optional modules like UPSDIALER, SNMP adaptors, temperature sensors, etc.

8.2.1 Functional description

WAVEMON is a client/server software application for networks and local workstations. In general, it consists of two parts:

the server module of the UPS management software is UPSMAN which communicates with the UPS via an RS232/USB
interface. Running as a background application, UPSMAN collects and interprets the messages received from the UPS
and places them at the disposal of the client module UPSMON, as well as any connected SNMP-based instrumentation

and control system.

If UPSMAN detects voltage variations or a power failure, it can execute various ‘system event’ routines, by means of

which, for example, the server is switched off or a warning is sent to the connected users. These ‘system event’ routines
are a part of the management software and can be configured in accordance with local application requirements.

The software of your PowerWave 1000 UPS unit can be integrated into a network in two ways:

1. By the server which is supplied by the UPS itself and has been integrated into the network. In most cases this server
is used as a sub-agent and you only need the WAVEMON software (without an SNMP adapter). You will also need to
establish an RS232/USB connection between the UPS and computer/server.

2. In many cases the use of what is referred to as an ‘SNMP adapter’ is to be preferred in order to integrate the UPS into
the network. In this case up to 50 computers can be shut down in one RCCMD environment. RCCMD (remote console
command) is an additional software module that is used in order to execute a command (typically a shutdown
command) in a remote system.

8.2.2 Licensing

A licence is issued with every software serial number for use of what is known as the ‘UPS service’ on a single server in
connection with one UPS and an unlimited number of connected WINDOWS workstations. For operation with two or more
servers, a further licence is required for each additional server. In this case it is of no importance whether the UPS service
on these servers is active or whether the server was stopped by a remote UPS service. The same applies to the use of
RCCMD with the ‘remote send/receive’ modules for ‘multi-server shutdown’ under NT, UNIX and other operating systems.

The service programs are generally supplied as single licences. In order to use a single CD-ROM for several ‘multi-server
shut-down’ units you must acquire additional licence codes.

8.3 SNMP adapters

Figure 8.2 SNMP Adapters

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a world-wide, standardised communication protocol that can be used to
monitor any network-connected device via a simple control language, and display the results in a browser-based
application.

The UPS management software can make your UPS data available in this SNMP format thanks to the software agent built
in to the SNMP adapter. Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd offer software with SNMP functionality for Novell, OS/2, and
Windows that run both on INTEL and on ALPHA, DEC VMS and Apple.

Two models of SNMP adapters are available for use with the PowerWave 1000, both of which share the same
functionality. An internal SNMP card can be fitted into the communications card expansion slot located on the UPS
enclosure rear panel and communicates with the UPS via a serial interface. An optional external SNMP adapter can be
used, located remotely and connected to the UPS via its RS232 port.

The SNMP adapter can be configured via Telnet, http (browser) or serial connection. For normal operation, at least one
Ethernet network connection is necessary. Further details are provided in the manual that is supplied on the WAVEMON
installation CD.

RCCMD

RCCMD (Remote Console Command Module) for ‘multi-server shutdown’, is an independent software module intended
for transmitting and receiving ‘remote commands’. The new version RCCMD2 is, similar to WAVEMON, available for the
most widespread operating systems. Using the ‘RCCMD send’ function, the SNMP adapter can send status messages to
connected users or initiate automatic shutdown throughout the whole network. Our SNMP adapters are fully compatible
with RCCMD.

8.4 AS400 (dry contact) card

The DCE dry contact card provides volt-free outputs that can
be used for the automatic and orderly shutdown of servers
(AS400) or used as control inputs to building management
systems.

The signal descriptions of the 10 pins of the dry contact card
are shown below. Note that all pins except Pins 9 and 10
(which are isolated) are link-selectable to be either short­circuited or open-circuited to the common Pin 8 when the
monitored parameter is ‘active’.

The pin assignment of the 10-pin terminals are:

To shut down the UPS, you must connect a DC voltage of 5.5V~25V between pin 9 (+) and pin 10 (-).
