2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

2.1 Technology
Protect D is an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for essential loads such
as PCs, workstations, servers, network components, telecommunication
equipment and similar devices.

It has the following model versions:

- Protect D 6000LCD, 6kVA
- Protect D 10000LCD, 10kVA
- Protect D 6000BP LCD, battery rack for 6kVA unit
- Protect D 10000BP LCD, battery rack for 10kVA unit

It consists of:

• Mains filter with overvoltage Protection (appliance Protection / class D)

• Rectifier section with PFC logic (power factor correction unit)

• Charger is buck topology from DC bus

• Integrated sealed, maintenance-free battery system

(Protect D 6000 LCD / D 10000 LCD) as energy storage medium with
downstream DC/DC converter unit

• IGBT inverter for continuous supply of connected loads with sinusoidal

AC voltage

• Automatic electronic bypass (SBS = Static Bypass Switch) as additional

passive redundancy

• Manual bypass for maintenance and service purposes (with SBS

activation when activated)

• Digital signal processor control unit.

10

2.2 System description

The UPS is connected between the public utility's mains and the loads to
be Protected.

The power section of the rectifier converts the mains voltage to DC voltage
for supplying the inverter. The circuit technology used (PFC) enables
sinusoidal current consumption and therefore operation with little system
disturbance. The charger is buck topology from DC bus.

The configuration of this charging REC means the harmonic content of the
charging current for the battery is almost zero, so the service life of the
battery is increased even more. The inverter is responsible for converting
the DC voltage into a sinusoidal output voltage. A microprocessor-
controlled control system based on pulse-width modulation (PWM) in
conjunction with digital signal processor technology and extremely quickly
pulsating IGBT power semiconductors of the inverter guarantee that the
voltage system on the Protected busbar is of the highest quality and
availability.

In the event of mains faults (e.g. current failures), the voltage continues to
be supplied from the inverter to the load without any interruption. From
this point onwards, the inverter draws its power from the battery instead
 11

of the inverter. No switching operations are necessary; this means there is

no interruption in the supply to the load.

The automatic electronic bypass serves to increase the security of supply

further. It switches the public mains directly through to the load if there is
an inverter malfunction. As a result, the automatic bypass represents an
extra passive redundancy for the load.

The integrated manual bypass ensures in case of service and/or

maintenances a complete power supply of all connected loads. The
internal electronic circuit (with exception of the Protected manual bypass)
can be enabled by the input fuse.

The maximum security of supply for connected loads is achieved by

switching up to three Protect D UPS appliances parallel. The n+x
technology provides the highest possible availability by a single or double
redundancy. On the other hand, the power can be raised by using the
single redundancy. In case of no redundancy the highest power is reached
with the UPS. The relation between available power and active
redundancy is explained in the following table.

Attention

Before any work is started, ensure that the cables are free of tension and
no power can be switched on.

To prevent a deformation of the bus-bar and to keep the foot of the

terminal free of torsion, it is recommended to hold the cable when
removing the terminal screw. The grounding Protection prevents
inappropriately high contact tension with reachable metal pieces. The
grounding of the Protect D is realized via the grounding screw
( / PE). Before UPS start ensure that the Protect D is grounded
according the regulations, e.g. VDE 0100.

Before starting the connection, check that:

• the values of the mains voltage (input voltage) and frequency complies
with the values on the label on the UPS,

• the grounding connection complies with the IEC norms or with the
regional regulations,

• the UPS is connected to the mains via a separate and fused line in a pre-
switched NS distribution,

• the power fuse in the LV distribution has the same or higher value as
indicated on the label on the rear of the UPS appliance.

4.1 Protection for the

6. ELECTRICAL START UP

6.1 Operating modes

Protect D LCD UPS can work in one of these operating modes:
- Operation with existing mains
- Operation with faulty mains
- Operation with faulty inverter
- Manual bypass

6.1.1 Normal operation

Once you have connected the UPS to a suitable mains connection, you can
start operation using the UPS main switch. Normally, the UPS operates
continuously. The UPS now supplies the output.

This is often referred to as “online” mode. It offers the greatest protection,

in particular when there are mains fluctuations and mains failures,
because the loads are supplied continuously with voltage with no
interruptions in this operating mode.

6.1.2 Battery operation / autonomy operation

The mains is not within the required tolerance range or has failed. In this
case power is supplied to the inverter from the charged battery without
interruption. The power supply to the loads is therefore also ensured in
the event of a mains failure.
 37

This drains the capacity of the battery and it is discharged. This status is
signaled by the battery symbol (LED Battery) lighting up, as well as an
intermittent acoustic signal every 4 seconds and every second before
switching off. With decreasing battery capacity, the alarm is activated
automatically. Depending on the expansion level, age and condition of the
battery and in particular on the load to be supplied, the standby time can
vary from a few minutes to several hours.

The inverter is switched off if the battery voltage drops below a factory-set
minimum voltage value. Never store the unit in this condition! The
discharged battery system should be recharged within a week at the
latest. When the voltage and frequency are within the tolerance range
once more, the inverter and the battery charger switch back on
automatically. The inverter then continues supplying the inverter and the
battery charger takes over charging the battery.

6.1.3 Bypass operation

If the inverter is overloaded or if overtemperature is detected, e.g. also if

an inverter defect is detected, voltage is supplied to the load via the
bypass that switches on automatically.
38

This function is also referred to as passive redundancy. It protects against

total failure of the voltage supply on the protected busbar, however in the
operating status that is now attained, mains faults would have a direct
effect on the load.

As a result, the electronics continuously attempt to switch back to "online"

/ normal operating status (e.g. when the overload or overtemperature no
longer applies).

The bypass is a mechanical link that switches extremely rapidly. It is

located between the load and the mains. The associated synchronization
unit in the bypass ensures that the frequency and phase of the inverter
voltage is synchronized with the mains.

6.1.4 Manual bypass

The manual bypass allows maintenance and service personnel to work on

the Protect D LCD without switching of the appliance.

If the mains supply fails if the manual bypass is activated, the loads supply
fails completely. For this reason, it is important to switch as fast as
possible to normal operation mode.

6.1.5 Unit overload

The load on the UPS should never exceed the specified rated load of the
unit. If a unit overload occurs nevertheless (from 105% of the specified
unit rated load) the fault LED is turned on accompanied with a signal tone
(twice per second). The connected loads continue to be supplied for a
certain time depending on the level of the overload. However, the
connected load must be reduced without delay.
 39

Non-observance of the "Unit overload" condition may cause

the total loss of all UPS functions! Also avoid short-term unit overloads,
which may, for example, occur when connecting a laser printer or laser fax
machine.

Do not connect any household appliances or machine tools to

the UPS. Never connect or switch on any additional loads to the UPS if
there is a mains failure, i.e. if the UPS is working in emergency power
operation! As a rule, if there has never been an overload during normal
operation, there will not be one during battery operation either.

6.2 Control panel

The UPS has a graphical LCD with five-button. It provides useful
information about the UPS itself, load status, events, measurements and
settings.

10. MAINTENANCE

10.1 Equipment care

For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the
equipment clean and dust free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the
outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner.

For full battery life, keep the equipment at an ambient temperature of

25°C (77°F).

If the UPS requires any type of transportation, verify that the UPS is
disconnected and turned off. The batteries are rated for a 3-5 years of
service life. The length of service life varies, depending on the frequency of
usage and ambient temperature. Batteries used beyond expected service
life will often have severely reduced runtimes. Replace batteries at least
every 4 years to keep units running at peak efficiency.

10.2 Storing the equipment

If you store the equipment for a long period, recharge the battery every 6
months by connecting the UPS to utility power. The External Battery
Module charges to 90% capacity in less than 3 hours.

However, recommends that the batteries charge for 48 hours after long-
term storage.

If the date has passed and the batteries were never recharged, do not use
them. Contact your service representative.

10.3 Replacing batteries

DO NOT DISCONNECT the batteries while the UPS is in Battery mode.

Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries.

- Servicing should be performed by qualified service personnel

with knowledgeable of batteries and required precautions. Keep
unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
 75

- Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high

short circuit current. Observe the following precautions:

1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects,

2. Use tools with insulated handles,

3. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries,

4. Wear rubber gloves and boots.

- When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and

number of batteries or battery packs. Contact your service
representative to order new batteries.

- Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local

codes for disposal requirements.

- Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when

exposed to flame.

- Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released

electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be
extremely toxic.

- Take care if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If grounded,

remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a
grounded battery may cause electrical shock.

- The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are

removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to
equipment and remote battery supplies not having a grounded
supply circuit).

- ELECTRIC ENERGY HAZARD. Do not attempt to alter any battery

wiring or connectors. It may cause injury.

- Please disconnect battery charging source before battery

replacing or maintenance.

requires two people at least.

Turn the MBS to bypass and switch off the input and then replace the
External Battery Module (s).

To replace the External Battery Module (s):

1. Unplug the External Battery Module power cable from the UPS.
If additional External Battery Module (s) are installed, unplug
the power cable from each External Battery Module.

2. Replace the External Battery Module (s). See "Recycling the

used equipment" refer to chapter 10.5 for proper disposal.

A small amount of arcing may occur when connecting the External Battery
Module to UPS. This is normal and will not harm personnel. Please connect
the External Battery Module cable to the UPS quickly and firmly.

3. Plug the External Battery Module cable(s) into the battery

connector(s).

4. Verify that the External Battery Module connections are tight,

10.4 Recycling the used

equipment
Contact your local recycling or hazardous waste center for information on
proper disposal of the used equipment.

Do not dispose of the batteries in the fire. Which may cause battery
explosion. The batteries must be rightly disposed according to local
regulation.

Do not open or destroy the batteries. Escaping electrolyte can cause injury
to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.

Do not discard the UPS or the UPS batteries in the trash. This product
contains sealed, lead acid batteries and must be disposed of properly. For
more information, contact your local recycling/ reuse or hazardous waste
center.

Do not discard waste electrical or electronic equipment (WEEE) in the

trash. For proper disposal, contact your local recycling/reuse or hazardous
waste center.

The UPS is designed for durable, automatic operation and also alert you
whenever potential operating problems may occur. Usually the alarms
shown by the control panel do not mean that the output power is
affected. Instead, they are preventive alarms intended to alert the user.

- Events are silent status information that are recorded into the
Event log. Example = "Battery charging".

- Alarms are recorded into the Event log and displayed on the LCD
status screen with the logo blinking. Some alarms may be
announced by a beep every 1 second. Example = "Battery low".

- Faults are announced by a continuous beep and red LED,

recorded into the Event log. Example = Out. short circuit.

Use the troubleshooting chart to determine the UPS alarm condition.
