As a precaution it is advisable to perform a Backup before restarting the system.

The main unit has two main breakers. One breaker is used for external Power
ON/OFF and the other for Battery ON/OFF. To power off the system both breakers
must be turned off.

It is good practice to switch off battery power before switching off the main power
and turn on main power before turning on the battery power. This will minimize the
load on the batteries.

Be aware of system interrupting regulations (10.1) above before turning off the
system.

Quick guide to switch OFF the system:


1. Switch off Battery by lifting up the breaker + and – at the same time.
2. Switch off Power by lifting up the breaker L and N at the same time.

Quick guide to switch ON the system:


3. Switch on Power by pushing down the breaker L and N at the same time.
4. Switch on Battery by pushing down the breaker + and - at the same time.

Note!
If only main power is switched off then the VDR will run for another 2 hours on
battery before shutting down. If the VDR is left in this condition for a longer time the
batteries will be drained and they have to be replaced in order to guarantee operation
at the next start.

The system voltage is nominal +28VDC instead of +24VDC. This higher voltage is
needed to have an efficient charging and supervision of the batteries.
