9.2 Instructions for using the UPS
The operator of this UPS equipment must always comply with the instructions
in this manual. The operator may only carry out the following and must
exercise extreme care when doing so:
o
Use of the operator control elements: Switching the UPS on and off.
o
Reading the display elements and interpretation of the audible alarm
signals.
o
Use of communications interface, whereby a connection to the PC or
other systems must already exist for UPS equipment with a fixed
connection.
Owing to the comprehensive protection functions which the UPS equipment
assures in relation to the user(s), the UPS runs completely autonomously. Only
the switching-on and switching-off is performed by the operator. In addition,
data can be exchanged via the communications interface but this is not
absolutely necessary for the general operation of the equipment.
9.2.1 Switching on the UPS
To switch the UPS on, press the “ON/OFF” on the front of the UPS.
The UPS selects the appropriate operating mode upon completion of the
startup procedure.
9.2.2 Switching off the UPS
The UPS is switched off using the “ON/OFF” switch.
The UPS remains in charging mode to keep the batteries fully charged and
ready for operation.
To shut down the UPS equipment completely, the equipment must be
disconnected from the mains by pulling out the feeder cable.
The UPS can only be fully deactivated by disconnecting it completely from the
mains power supply.
9.2.3 Communication
Software packages are required to facilitate the exchange of data between the
UPS and a parent system. The range of features can be found in the
“Software” chapter.
