The VARTA element backup
6.1.1
Switching on and off (VARTA element backup)
The VARTA element backup is started up using the on/off switch (3). Here, it should be taken into account,
however, that the replacement power connection is also supplied with voltage from the mains when switched
off. Thus, consumers connected to the replacement power connection are also supplied when the store is
switched off.
If the replacement power connection is to be disconnected, the store must be switched off using the on/off
switch (3) and the network connection of the store switched off. (Racking out the store connection).
These two steps must be performed for work on the replacement power connection as well as for work on the
storage system.
If only the connection of the storage system is switched off but not the store via the switch (3), the store will
automatically switch into replacement power mode and supply the replacement power connection.
In the event of damage (see chapter 9.1), the system can be shut down using the on/off switch.

VARTA element backup – switching on the replacement power mode
6.1.2.1
Automatic (standard)
In the event of a power failure, the VARTA element backup automatically switches to the replacement power
mode.
Note:
A requirement for the replacement power mode is that the energy store is not empty.
6.1.2.2
Manual switch-on
Manual switch-on of the replacement power mode becomes necessary if the energy store is to be switched on
for the first time without an available integrated network or if the store has switched off in the replacement
power mode e.g. after an overload.
The following steps are required for the manual switch-on of the energy store:
•
Switch on the energy store with the on/off button (3) (button locked in).
•
Press the black start button (5) for min. 1 second.
