the environmental parameters outlined in this manual. Excessive dust in the
operating environment of UPS may cause damage or lead to malfunction.
The UPS should be always protected from the outside weather and
sunshine. If you intend to operate the system at an altitude higher than 1000
meters, contact your local sales or service office for important information
about high altitude operation. The operating environment must meet the
weight, airflow, size and clearance requirements specified in the technical
datasheet.

Under no circumstances the UPS should be installed in an airtight room, in
the presence of flammable gases, or in an environment exceeding the
specification.

The basic environmental requirements of the UPS system are:

• Ambient Temperature Range: 0 to +40°C (32 – 104°F)

• Recommended Operating Range: +20 to +25°C (68 – 77°F)

• Maximum Relative Humidity: 95% (non-condensing)

The UPS cabinet uses forced air cooling to regulate internal component
temperature. Air inlets are in the bottom sides and front of the cabinet, and
outlets in the rear of the cabinet. You must allow clearance at the back of
the cabinet for proper air circulation. Refer to XXX for clearance
requirements.

Description

2.1 Reliability and Quality Standards

Congratulations on your purchase of the PowerWAVE 9000 DPA UPS.
Using a unique modular construction the PowerWAVE 9000 DPA

represents a completely new generation of transformer-less 3 phase UPS­Systems, incorporating the latest technological developments in power
engineering. High reliability, upgrade ability, low operating cost and
excellent electrical performance are just some of the highlights of this
innovative UPS solution.

Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd. specialises in the design, building,
installation and maintenance of Uninterruptible Power Systems. This
compact and powerful UPS is just one example of our wide range of state
of the art power protection devices and will provide your critical equipment
with a steady and reliable power supply for many years.

The criteria and methods which are used in the design, manufacture, and
maintenance of Uninterruptible Power Supply systems are certified to
International Standard ISO 9001/EN 29001. A full UPS Specification is
given in Chapter 10 of this manual.

2.2 General System Description

The product described in this manual is a transformer-less Uninterruptible
Power System (UPS). It is a true online, continuous duty, double
conversion, solid state, three-phase system, providing conditioned and
uninterruptible AC power to protect the customer’s load from power
disturbances and failures.

The UPS system is housed in single freestanding cabinets. The cabinets
line up and match in style and colour, and have safety shields behind the
doors for hazardous voltage protection.

2.2.1 Hot-Swappable Modules

The unique Hot-Swappable feature of the Modules enables insertion and
removal of the electronic/power modules from a larger assembly while it is
powered (hot) and without causing disturbance to the operation of the load
and without need to go to bypass.

2.2.2 Advanced Booster Technology

Traditional input THD filters are no longer needed as the built-in, advanced
booster technology of UPS modules provides perfect sinusoidal input
power quality at 0.99 input power factor with harmonic content less than
3% THDi. This leads to more reliable total system operation and savings in
generator and transformer sizing as losses in the windings are minimised.

The UPS high input power factor provides minimised cabling and fusing
costs and low harmonic currents, additional benefits include:

2-2 PowerWAVE 9000 DPA UPS - Description

(Issue 2.1 Oct. 2009)

• No additional losses in wires and cables

• No extra heating of transformers and generators with shortened
service life

• No over sizing of generators

• No false circuit breaker tripping and malfunction

• No erratic operation of computers, telecommunication, monitors,
electronic test equipment etc.

• No resonance with power factor correction capacitors

2.2.3 Flexible Battery Management (FBM)

The Flexible Battery Management (FBM) is designed to prevent
deterioration of the connected battery over time. FBM continuously
monitors the battery and protects it from high temperatures resulting in
longer battery life a less failures.

The major benefits are:

• Ripple free battery charging as the charger is separated from the
rectifier and inverter

• Supports 30-50 battery blocks (12V)

• Wide input voltage window tolerance extends the battery life due to
less discharge cycles

• Battery discharge protection during load jumps

• Proactive battery protection with inadequate charging voltages

• Proactive battery failure detection using Advanced Battery
Diagnosis (ABD)

• User selectable battery tests

• Optional temperature compensated charging to enhance battery life.

2.2.4 DPA Technology – Decentralized Parallel Architecture

DPA paralleling technology provides n+x redundancy with no single­point-of-failure. DPA UPSs are completely autonomous with individual
Power Modules, Bypasses, CPUs, Control Panels and separate battery
configuration for each single module.

DPA technology is more reliable than traditional paralleling techniques.
Parallel UPS systems link together two or more UPS units in parallel so that
in the event that one fails the other can automatically take up the load.
Traditionally a parallel redundancy configuration is achieved by having a
random or fixed master-slave relationship among the UPS units. This
master logic gives out individual commands to all the slaves units.

PowerWAVE 9000 DPA UPS - Description 2-3

(Issue 2.1 Oct. 2009)

Unfortunately this can lead to a single-point-of-failure for the whole
system if the master logic or communication to the slaves fails.

The DPA technology uses Multi-Master logic with separated independent
regulation and logic buses to maintain the highest system availability. DPA
technology enables a parallel redundant system providing 100%
conditioned power at all times. The unique decentralized design eliminates
the system level single point of failure inherent in traditional parallel UPS,
and exponentially increases the reliability of the overall system.

DPA technology allows up to ten UPS modules to supply the same load in
parallel and redundant configuration.

2.3 PowerWAVE 9000 DPA Series - Models

The PowerWAVE 9000 DPA UPS is available in a range of power ratings
between 10 and 250kVA. A range of cabinets or frames and modular power
assemblies offers unrivalled configuration options and upgrade paths.

2.4 Single and Multi-Cabinet Parallel Configurations

The PowerWAVE 9000 DPA UPS has unique paralleling features:

Single/Parallel-Module Configurations:

A Single-Module: If a configuration consists of one single Module it is
defined as a Single-Module Configuration.

Parallel-Modules:. A Parallel-Module is a Module that is operating in
parallel with other equivalent Modules.

Single/Multi-Cabinet Configurations:

Single-Cabinet Configuration: A single-cabinet configuration means that
there are no cabinets operating in a chain.

Multi-Cabinet Configurations: It is possible to parallel Cabinets into a
Multi-Cabinet Configuration in order to increase the number of paralleled
Modules.

(Issue 2.1 Oct. 2009)

3.3 Batteries

The standard batteries for the UPS are sealed and maintenance free,
mounted in an external cabinet/rack and will typically be connected when
the UPS is commissioned.

The battery life depends very much on the ambient temperature. A
temperature range between +18° and +23°C will achieve the optimum
battery life.

If the UPS is delivered without batteries, Uninterruptible Power Supplies
Ltd. is not responsible for any damage or malfunctioning caused to the UPS
by the incorrect installation or connection of batteries by third parties.

3.4 Storage

3.4.1 UPS

If you plan to store the UPS prior to use, store it unpacked in a clean dry
environment with a temperature between +5°C to +40°C and humidity of
less than 90%.

If the packing container is removed, protect the UPS from dust.

3.4.2 Battery

The UPS system is equipped with sealed, maintenance-free batteries,
whose storage capability depends on ambient temperature. It is therefore
important not to store the UPS longer than 6 months at 20°C, 3 months at
30°C and 2 months at 35°C storage temperature without a battery recharge.

For longer term storage make sure that the battery is fully recharged every
6 months.

SEALED BATTERIES MUST NEVER BE STORED IN A DISCHARGED
OR PARTIALLY DISCHARGED STATE.

EXTREME TEMPERATURE, UNDER - AND OVERCHARGE AND
OVERDISCHARGE WILL DESTROY BATTERIES!

Before and after storing, charge the battery.
Always store the batteries in a dry, clean, cool environment in their original

packaging.
If the packaging is removed protect the batteries from dust and humidity.
