Reliability
To have a redundancy level with traditional UPS units it is necessary to put at least 2 in parallel, thus doubling the power
bought, the space taken up and the electricity consumed. Instead Tri Power X33 Mod HP’s modulear architecture allows
redundant configurations inside just one single cabinet.
A
dvantages:
A UPS with a modulear redundant architecture can be configured as an N+X system redundant in power; even in the
case of a failing module the equipment carries on working and there is no break in supply.
Clear indications and a large Control Panel speed up troubleshooting.
The modulear architecture makes short work of repairing a failure by simply replacing the module in question
without interrupting service.
A high percentage resolution of failures at the first intervention.
Power module
The basic module, available in three power sizes, 3,400 VA, 5,000 VA and 6,700VA, is basically made up of the following
functional blocks: command and control logic (microprocessor controlled), rectifier/PFCr, inverter, booster, battery char-
ger, automatic bypass.
The power unit is of Plug & Play type to facilitate power expansion and all maintenance works. Each module is paralleled
with other identical ones until the UPS power is reached.
The power modules are separate from each other and will continue to work even if one malfunctions. An LED on the
front of the module, with a traffic-light code, quickly shows the operating state of the electronic unit.
The Power module PM4, PM6 and PM7 is only for running in the designed cabinets: Each cabinet of UPS TRI POWER X33
MOD HP is designed for a specific rated power. Power modules are only be changed against the same delivered rated
power.
Each cabinet should be equipped only with the Power modules written in the Tab. "Mechanical Data" on page 15 desc-
ribbed inside this manual. It is possible to use other Power modules as given and to mix the different power ratings.
Never it is allowed to use Power modules to increase the rated power of the cabinet without getting the acceptance
from the manufacturer.
Modell, rated power and types of aacepted Power modules are decribed inside the user manual and on the ID Plate
inside the front door of the cabinet.
Type and rated power of the Power module are on the sticker on front of the module.
Please ensure only to use Power modules which are designed for the UPS TRI POWER X33 MOD HP only.
Battery modules
The battery modules are designed for easy insertion in the cabinet with no work needed to connect them; they are easy
to handle thanks to their light weight, likewise for any maintenance or replacing.
A box holds 5 x 12V 7.2 Ah or 9 Ah batteries connected in series and, thanks to the Plug & Play connection can be easily
inserted in to, and witdrawn from the cabinet. In order to guarantee maximum safety, especially during maintenance,
the voltage of each box is adequately divided into two 24 and 36V branches and restored only when the box is placed
right inside its housing.
This conforms to the CEI-EN 60950 standard on electrical safety which establishes that adequate safeguards must be
used and particular attention where there are dangerous voltages higher than 50 Vdc with the possibility of direct con-
tact. Autonomy can be increased further still by adding other battery ‘boxes’ in multiples of four, exploiting the space
inside the UPS and the space in the additional ‘modulear cabinets’.
Digital display and displaying alarms
Tri Power X33 Mod HP is controlled by a microprocessor and has a backlit alphanumerical liquid crystal display (LCD)
with 20 characters on 4 lines built into the front of the UPS, where there is also a highly luminous operating status indi-
cator which, by means of a traffic-light code, indicates the operating status and any alarm conditions.
Four simple push buttons near the display allow the user to: see operating data, set operating parameters, analyse the
state of each single power module, select the language in which to see the messages and execute a set of functional
tests.
