WITCHING ON FROM BATTERY
Make sure that the battery rack switch/fuse is closed.
Hold down
“Battery Start” (See “Communications View – point 3”) for about 5 seconds. The UPS becomes active and
the display comes on.
Press
to access the System on menu.
When confirmation is requested, select “YES” and press
again to
confirm. All the LEDs around the display light up for about 1 second and the buzzer starts to emit a beep about every
7 seconds.
N.B.
if the sequence which has just been described is not performed within 1 minute, the UPS switches off automatically
so that the batteries are not run down unnecessarily.

ETTING THE RATED BATTERY CAPACITY
-
SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION
After installing one or more BATTERY BOXES, it is necessary to configure the UPS in order to set the exact value of the
overall rated capacity.
The configuration can be made using the advanced
UPSTools
configuration software contained in the CD-ROM supplied
with the UPS or directly from the UPS control panel.
Installing and running
UPSTools
:
Follow the installation and use instructions contained in the software manual which can be found in the
UPSTools
folder on the CD-ROM.
Setting from the display
Set the rated battery capacity (See
“Display menus” section).
Perform a battery test with the display panel (See
“Display menus” section).
Battery maintenance
The system automatically checks battery efficiency every 24 hours and provides an alarm when it finds efficiency which
is much lower than the level calculated on the basis of the memorised capacity value. Battery life is linked to the
operating temperature and the number of charging and discharging cycles performed.
The capacity is not constant. It increases after a few charging and discharging cycles. It remains constant for a few
hundred cycles and then decreases permanently.
Preventive battery maintenance includes the following:
keeping the operating temperature at between 20 and 25°C;
during the first month of use, performing two or three charging and discharging cycles;
after the first month, performing the operation every six months;
As the batteries are a source of energy, opening the battery switch does not eliminate the voltage inside the
batteries. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCESS THE INSIDE OF THE BATTERY RACK.
DANGEROUS VOLTAGE IS ALWAYS PRESENT AROUND THE BATTERIES. If in doubt about whether the
batteries are faulty, contact the assistance service.
Any replacement of the batteries must be performed by qualified personnel. In order to dispose of the
replaced components, it is compulsory to send them to an agency specialised in disposal through
recycling. The batteries are classified as “toxic waste” by law.

WITCHING OFF THE
UPS
Choose the heading “SYST. STAND-BY” from the main menu and press
to access the submenu, pres it again to
confirm the operation. At this point, the load is no longer powered. In order to switch the UPS completely, it is necessary
to open SWIN and the battery rack switch/fuse. Wait for a few seconds until the display goes off.
N.B.
during extended periods of inactivity, it is good practice to switch the UPS off by opening the input and
output isolating switches. Finally, once the UPS is off, open the battery fuse holders.
