About the device
5.3 Battery operation
The UPS changes automatically to battery operation, if:
- mains loss occurs (blackout).
- the mains voltage is out of range (±25%).
The switchover is indicated by the LED „Battery opera-
tion“ and an audible alarm. This alarm is active as long
as the battery operation is running, unless silenced.
The load is then supplied from the batteries and via an
internal inverter. It constantly discharges the batteries. If
a certain level is reached, deep discharge is imminent.
In order to avoid this, the UPS warns the user by an
audible alarm and the symbol
is displayed in the
LCD panel. After this, only a short period remains until
the UPS switches itself off and thus any connected
load. This can lead to data loss. The supervision of the
UPS by a management software, which is available as
download free of charge, can avoid data loss.
5.4 5.4 Cold start
The UPS can be also be started without mains voltage
present, by starting it as usual. The load is then supplied
from the batteries. As soon as mains returns, the UPS
will automatically switch to normal operation.
5.5 Maintenance
The UPS does not require maintenance. Only the bat-
teries have to be replaced at the end of their lifespan,
which varies according to many circumstances. The
state of the batteries is supervised by the UPS battery
management circuit. In case the batteries are faulty, it
is indicated in the display with the symbol. A replace-
ment of the batteries may be required then.
The user has to take care for the environmentally
friendly disposal of the batteries!
5.6 Error situations
Overload, overheating as well as overvoltage resp.
undervoltage at line input are situations to which the
UPS is reacting in different ways. In order to prevent
damage, the unit will switch off if limits are exceeded.
In this case the loads are also immediately shut off!
Following applies:
Overheating -> Alarm, then shutdown
Overload -> Alarm, then shutdown
Undervoltage -> Alarm and battery operation
Overvoltage -> Alarm, then shutdown
5.7 Remote monitoring
The integrated RS232 and USB interfaces can be used
to monitor the UPS by a standard PC and a software. in
case of a power fail, it can warn the user in time or shut
down the PC and other equipment supplied by the UPS
automatically, or even send a broadcast message to
other PCs in a network to initiate shutdown. The free-of-
charge software „UPS Communicator“ is available for
Windows or Linux and can be downloaded from
www.
elektroautomatik.de
or can be obtained upon request.

7. Storage
Keeping the UPS in storage for a longer time requires
the batteries to be fully charged every 6 months if
kept at -15°C...+30°C ambient temperature or every 3
months at -15°C...+45°C.
