Chapter 1 Installation Of UPS Module 1
Chapter 1 Installation Of UPS Module
This chapter introduces the installation of Emerson APM 300 integrated UPS (UPS for short), including introduction,
preliminary check, location selection, positioning, protective device and cable connection.
1.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the requirements that must be taken into account in location selection and cabling of the UPS.
This chapter is a guide as to general procedures and practices that should be observed by the installation engineer.
The particular conditions of each site will determine the applicability of such procedures.
Warning: professional installation required
1. Do not apply electrical power to the UPS before being authorised to do so by the commissioning engineer.
2. The UPS shall be installed by a qualified engineer in accordance with the information contained in this manual.
Note: 3-phase, 5-wire input supply required
The standard UPS is suitable for connection to 3-phase, 5-wire (A, B, C, N, PE) TN and TT AC power distribution systems
(IEC60364-3).
1.2 Preliminary Check

Before installing the UPS, carry out the following preliminary checks:
1. Visually examine the UPS for shipping damage, both internally and externally. Report any damage to the shipper
immediately.
2. Verify that the correct UPS is being installed. The UPS has an identification tag on the back of the front door
reporting the model, capacity and parameters of the UPS.
1.3 Location Selection
1.3.1 Power Distribution Room

The UPS is intended for indoor installation and should be located in an environment with clean air and with adequate
ventilation to keep the ambient temperature within the specified operating range.
The UPS is air-cooled with the aid of internal fans. Cold air enters the UPS through the ventilation grilles in the front of
the cabinet and hot air is released through the grilles on the back. Do not cover the ventilation openings.
If necessary, install a system of room extractor fans to avoid room temperature build-up. Optional air filters are
available if the UPS is to operate in a dusty environment.
Note
The UPS is suitable for mounting on concrete or other non-combustible surface only.
1.3.2 Battery Room

The batteries will generate small amount of hydrogen and oxygen at the end of battery charge. Therefore, make sure
that the new air ventilation amount in the battery room meets the EN50272-2001 requirement.
Batteries should be mounted in an environment where the temperature is consistent and even over the whole battery.
Temperature is a major factor in determining the battery life and capacity. Typical battery manufacturer performance
data are quoted for an operating temperature of 20°C. Operating above 20°C will reduce the battery life while
operation below 20°C will reduce the battery capacity. Provided that the average battery operating temperature
APM 300 Integrated UPS Single Module And Parallel System User Manual
2 Chapter 1 Installation Of UPS Module
increases from 20°C to 30°C, the battery life will be reduced by 50%; provided that the average battery operating
temperature is above 40°C, the battery life will be reduced by an exponential multiple. In a normal installation the
battery temperature is maintained between 15°C and 25°C. Keep batteries away from main heat sources and main air
inlets.
The UPS uses external batteries, a battery protection device (for example, fuses or circuit breakers) must be mounted
as close as possible to the batteries themselves, and connected using the most direct route possible.
1.3.3 Storage
Should the UPS not be installed immediately, it must be stored in a room for protection against excessive humidity and
heat sources. The batteries should be stored in a dry, cool environment with adequate ventilation, at temperature
ranging from 20°C to 25°C at best.
Warning
During storage, periodically charge the battery according to the battery manufacturer instructions. In the charge process,
temporarily connect the UPS to the mains for the time required for recharging the battery to activate the battery.
1.4 Positioning
Adjustable feet are provided at the bottom of the UPS cabinet to prevent the UPS from moving once it has been placed
to its final position. For optimal design life, the place chosen must offer:
z easy connection
z enough space to easily work on the UPS
z sufficient air exchange to dispel heat produced by UPS
z protection against atmospheric agents
z protection against excessive humidity and high heat sources
z protection against dust
z compliance with the current fire prevention requirements
z operating environment temperature between 20°C and 25°C. The batteries are at maximum efficiency in this
temperature range
1.4.1 UPS Composition

The UPS consists of a main power cabinet and a switch cabinet. The cabinets use steel framework structure enclosed
by removable panels, with the top panels and side panels fixed by screws. The UPS structure is shown in Figure 1-1.
The UPS component configuration is provided in Table 1-1.

1.4.2 Moving The Cabinet
Warning
1. Ensure that any equipment used to move the UPS has sufficient lifting capacity. For the UPS weight, refer to Table 9-3.
2. The UPS is fitted with casters. Take care to prevent the cabinet from moving when unbolting the cabinet from the shipping
pallet. Ensure that adequate personnel and lifting aids are available when removing the shipping pallet.
3. The UPS casters are just strong enough for cabinet moving on flat surface. They may not function well when you move the
cabinet on uneven surface.
4. The cabinet can be pushed forward or backward only. Pushing it sideward is not allowed. When pushing the cabinet, take care
not to overturn it as the gravity center is high.
The UPS can be moved by means of a forklift or similar equipment. It can also be moved short distances by its casters.
1.4.3 Clearances
The UPS has no ventilation grilles at either side, therefore, no clearance is required at either side.
The component layout of the UPS supports front access and rear access in UPS service, diagnosis and repair. To
enable routine tightening of power terminations within the UPS, in addition to meeting any local regulations, it is
recommended to provide adequate clearance in the front and at the back of the cabinet for unimpeded passage of
personnel with the front and back doors fully opened. Figure 1-2 shows the UPS installation dimensions.

1.4.6 Cable Entry

The UPS uses top cable entry and bottom cable entry, with cable entry holes provided both at the bottom and on the
top of the UPS.
1.5 Protective Device

It is recommended to install circuit breakers or other protective devices in the AC supply, external to the UPS. This
section provides guidelines for qualified installers, who must have knowledge of local wiring practices pertaining to the
equipment to be installed.
1.5.1 Rectifier And Bypass Input

Protective device
Install suitable protective devices in the distribution of the rectifier input supply. The protective devices should provide
functions like overcurrent protection, short circuit protection, isolation protection and tripping upon backfeed. When
selecting the protective devices, consider the power cable current-carrying capacity, system overload capacity (see
Table 9-6 and Table 9-7) and the short circuit capability of the upstream power distribution. Generally, magnetic circuit
breaker with IEC60947-2 tripping curve C (normal) at 125% of the current listed in Table 1-1 is recommended.
Split bypass: In case a split bypass is used, separate protective devices should be installed for the rectifier input and
bypass input in the incoming mains distribution panel.
The rated voltage of the external rectifier input and bypass overcurrent protective device should not be less than
415Vac. The AC breaking current of the protective device should be more than 6kA. The protective device should be a
3P device for three phases.
Note
The UPS output neutral relies on input neutral. External disconnect device opening input neutral may cause loss of output neutral
reference and hazards.
Earth leakage
The residual earth current introduced by the RFI suppression filter inside the UPS is greater than 3.5mA and less than
1000mA. It is recommended to verify the sensitivity of all differential devices upstream of the input distribution panel.
1.5.2 Battery
A battery protective device (for example, a fuse or a breaker) must be fitted to provide overcurrent protection for the
UPS and external battery.
The rated voltage of the overcurrent protective device of the external battery should be higher than 500Vdc, and its DC
breaking current should be higher than 20kA.
1.5.3 UPS Output

The UPS output distribution shall be configured with a protective device. The protective device shall be different from
the input distribution protection switch and able to provide overload protection (refer to Table 9-6).
1.6 Connecting Parallel Power Cables

The procedures for connecting the parallel power cables are as follows:
1. Remove the cover (see Figure 1-1) at the front and the left side panel of the main power cabinet.
2. The parallel power cables have been connected in factory to the copper bars in the upper part and lower part of the
switch cabinet, as shown in Figure 1-5. Run the parallel power cables into the main power cabinet by the cabling route
shown in Figure 1-5 to the corresponding connection terminals.
3. According to the labels of the parallel power cables and those of the corresponding connection terminals of the main
power cabinet, use the accessory M8 × 25 screws and M8 nuts to connect the cables to the connection terminals with
the same labels correspondingly, and tighten the connections to 13N.m. Note that each connection terminal should be
connected to two cables.
4. Use a multimeter to measure and confirm that the connections are correct and no inter-phase short circuit exists.
5. Bind the parallel power cables.

the switch cabinet and main power cabinet of the UPS according to your need.
4. Connect the input earth cable to the PE terminal.
Note
The earth cable and neutral cable must be connected in accordance with local and national codes of practice.
5. Identify and make power connections for the input cables according to one of the following two procedures,
depending on the type of installation.
Common input connection
1) In common bypass and rectifier input configuration, use the accessory M12 screws to connect the AC input cables
to the rectifier input terminals (mA-mB-mC-mN) or bypass input terminals (bA-bB-bC-mN), and tighten the connections
to 50N.m. Ensure correct phase rotation.
Split bypass connection
2) In split bypass configuration, use the accessory M12 screws to connect the rectifier input cables to the rectifier input
terminals (mA-mB-mC-mN), connect the bypass input cables to the bypass input terminals (bA-bB-bC-mN), and
tighten the connections to 50N.m. Ensure correct phase rotation.
Warning
In split bypass configuration, remove the linking busbars between the bypass input and rectifier input. The rectifier input and
bypass input must be referenced to the same neutral point.
System output connection
6. Connect the system output cables between the UPS output terminals (oA-oB-oC-oN) and the critical load, and
tighten the connections to 50N.m. Ensure correct phase rotation.
Warning
If the load is not ready to accept power on the arrival of the commissioning engineer, ensure that the system output cables are
safely isolated at their ends.
Battery connection
7. For UPS not fitted with a BCB, ensure correct polarity of batter string end connections to the UPS terminals, that is,
(+) to (+), (–) to (–) and (N) to (N). But do not make these connections before authorized by the commissioning
engineer.
For UPS fitted with a BCB, ensure correct polarity of battery string end connections to the BCB and from the BCB to
the UPS terminals, that is, (+) to (+) and (–) to (–), but disconnect one or more battery cell links in each tier. Do not
reconnect these links or close the BCB before authorized by the commissioning engineer.
8. Replace the covers removed in step 3, and close the back doors of the cabinets.
Note
After connection, take appropriate measures to seal the cable entry holes.

Chapter 2 Battery 15
Chapter 2 Battery
This chapter introduces the relevant information of the battery, including the introduction, safety, power cables,
maintenance, recycling, reference current and connection of external BCB.
2.1 Introduction
The UPS battery string consists of batteries connected in series to provide rated DC input voltage for the UPS
inverters. The battery backup time (that is, the duration for the battery to supply the load when the mains supply is
interrupted) is subject to the ampere-hour capacity of the batteries. Therefore, it may be necessary to parallel-connect
several battery strings. Batteries of different manufacturers, models or used time cannot be used together.
It is required to connect external batteries to the UPS. The external batteries are normally placed in a battery cabinet.
Note
Before maintenance or service, it may be required to disconnect the battery from the UPS.
2.2 Safety
Take special care when working with the batteries associated with the UPS. When all the cells are connected together,
the battery string voltage can be up to 576Vdc and is potentially lethal. Please follow the precautions for high voltage
operation. Only qualified personnel are allowed to install and maintain the battery. To ensure the safety, the external
batteries shall be installed inside a key-lockable cabinet or in a purpose-designed, dedicated battery room, so that they
are segregated from all but qualified maintenance personnel.
During battery maintenance, pay attention to the following items:
z Isolate the battery string to be serviced completely from the UPS
z The battery cell number setting (set by commissioning engineer) in the background software must be consistent
with the actual battery cell number
Note
Full safety instructions concerning the use and maintenance of UPS batteries are provided in the appropriate battery manufacturers
manuals. The battery safety information contained in this section relates to key considerations that must be taken into account
during the installation design process and might affect the design outcome depending on the local conditions.
Warning: battery hazard
1. No user-serviceable parts are located behind covers that require a tool for their removal. Only qualified service personnel are
authorised to remove such covers.
2. Before operating the copper bars connected with the external battery, please disenergize the copper bars.
3. Observe the following safety precautions when working with the batteries:
1) The battery shall be firmly and reliably connected. After the connection is completed, all connections between the terminals and
the batteries shall be calibrated. The requirements on torque specified in the instructions or user manual provided by the battery
manufacturer shall be satisfied. All connections between the terminals and the batteries shall be inspected and tightened at least
once a year. Failure to observe this may cause fire!
2) Inspect the battery appearance before accepting and using the battery. If there exist any package damage, dirty battery terminal,
terminal erosion, rust, or enclosure crack, deformation or electrolyte leakage, replace it with new product. Otherwise, battery
capacity reduction, electrolyte leakage or fire may be caused.
3) The battery is very heavy. Please use proper method to move and hoist the battery to prevent to human being or the battery
terminals. Severe damage to the battery may cause fire.
4) The battery terminals shall not be subject to any force, such as the pulling force or twisting force of the cable. Otherwise, the
internal connection of the battery may be damaged, and severe damage may cause fire.
5) The battery shall be installed and stored in a clean, cool and dry environment. Do not install the battery in a sealed battery
chamber or a sealed room. The battery room ventilation shall at least meet the requirement of EN50272-2001. Otherwise, battery
bulging, fire or even personal may be caused.

6) The battery shall be kept away from heat sources like transformers, or fire sources. Do not burn the battery or the battery in fire,
otherwise, electrolyte leakage, battery bulge, fire or explosion may be caused.
7) Do not directly connect any conductor between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Remove finger rings, watches,
necklaces, bracelets and other metal objects before operating the battery, and ensure that the tools (for example, wrench) are
wrapped with insulating material. Otherwise, battery burning, explosion, human death or injury may be caused.
8) Do not disassemble, modify or damage the battery. Otherwise, battery short circuit, electrolyte leakage or even personal may be
caused.
9) Clean the battery enclosure with wringed wet cloth. To avoid any static or arcing, do not use dry cloth or duster to clean the
battery. Do not use the organic solvent, such as thinner, gasoline, volatile oil, to clean the battery. Otherwise, the battery enclosure
may be cracked. In the worst case, fire may be caused.
10) The battery contains diluted sulfuric acid. In normal use, the diluted sulfuric acid is absorbed to the baffle plate and polar plate
of the battery. However, if the battery is damaged, the acid may leak from the battery. Therefore, use personal protective
equipment, such as, goggles, rubber gloves and apron, when operating the battery. Otherwise, if the diluted sulfuric acid enters the
eyes, blindness may be caused; if it contacts the skin, the skin may be burnt.
4. The battery terminal voltage is hazardous. The battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current.
Observe the following precautions when working on the battery.
1) Wear eye protection to prevent injury from accidental electrical arcs.
2) Remove rings, watches and all other metal objects.
3) Use tools with insulated handles.
4) Wear rubber gloves and boots.
5) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the battery.
6) Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
7) Check if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If yes, remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery
can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance.
8) If electrolyte comes into contact with skin, the affected area should be washed immediately with large amount of water.
9) The battery may have short circuit, electrolyte dry-up or positive-pole plate erosion at the end of its life. If it is still used in this
state, the battery thermorunaway, bulging or electrolyte leakage may occur. Before the battery enters this state, replace it, store it in
a container resistant to sulfuric acid and dispose of it in accordance with local regulations.

Note:
1. If the external battery is configured to have separate wiring of positive terminal and negative terminal (that is, four wires will be
led out from the battery side), for the UPS, due to the limitation of the rated current, it is recommended to use a 4P DC MCCB (DC
rated voltage of the breaker meeting 1-pole 250Vdc, 2-pole 500Vdc, 3-pole 750Vdc, rated breaking capacity limit being 35kA) or
two 2P DC MCCBs (DC rated voltage of single breaker meeting 1-pole 250Vdc, 2-pole 500Vdc, rated breaking capacity limit being
20kA). Connections between the battery, BCB and UPS are shown in Figure 2-2.
2. If the external battery is configured to use CT wiring (that is, three wires will be led out from the battery side), it is recommended
to use a 4P DC MCCB, with DC rated voltage of the breaker meeting 1-pole 250Vdc, 2-pole 500Vdc, 3-pole 750Vdc, and rated
breaking capacity limit being 35kA. If the battery cell number ranges from 30 to 34, for cost-saving purpose, refer to Figure 2-3 for

Chapter 3 Installation Of Parallel System
Two UPSs can be connected in parallel to form a 1 + 1 parallel system (parallel system for short). This chapter details
the installation and wiring of the parallel system.
3.1 Overview
The parallel system installation shall be carried out according to the installation procedures of the UPS module and the
requirements of this chapter.
In addition to the EPO key provided on the operator control and display panel of each UPS module for controlling the
EPO of each module respectively, the parallel system also provides remote EPO function for controlling all UPS
modules to shut down simultaneously from a remote terminal, as shown in Figure 3-1.
Note
1. The remote EPO switch must provide dry contact signal, which is normally open or closed.
2. J10 provides 5Vdc open circuit voltage and current smaller than 20mA.
3. The remote EPO device can be composed of another control system which can disconnect the UPS mains supply or the bypass
input.
4. Pins 1 and 2 of the normally closed EPO port J10 on the bypass module have been linked in factory.

3.2.2 External Protective Device

Refer to 1.5 Protective Device.
3.2.3 Power Cable

The power cable wiring is similar to that of UPS module. The bypass and main input supplies must use the same
neutral line input terminal. If the input has a current leakage protective device, the current leakage protective device
must be fitted upstream of the common neutral sinking point. Refer to Chapter 1 Installation Of UPS Module.
Note
The lengths and specifications of the power cables of each UPS module, including the bypass input cables and UPS output cables,
should be the same. This facilitates load sharing in bypass mode.
3.2.4 Parallel Control Cable

Shielded and double-insulated parallel control cables available in lengths 5m, 10m and 15m must be interconnected in
a ring configuration between the two UPS modules, as shown in Figure 3-3. The parallel ports J2 and J3 are provided
on the front panel of the bypass module, as shown in Figure 3-4. The ring connection ensures the reliability of the
control of the parallel system. Be sure to verify the reliable cable connection before starting up the system!

Chapter 4 Operation
This chapter introduces the information related to UPS operation, including the introduction, parallel system, operation
mode, battery management and battery protection.

4.1 Introduction
The UPS provides continuous, high-quality AC power to your critical equipment, such as telecommunications and data
processing equipment. The UPS supplies power that is free of the disturbances and variations in voltage and
frequency common to mains power, which is subject to brownouts, blackouts, surges and sags.
The UPS uses the latest high frequency, double-conversion PWM technology and DSP technology to enhance its
reliability and increase the ease of use.
4.1.1 Operating Theory

As shown in Figure 4-1, the AC mains source is converted by the rectifier into DC power. The inverter converts that DC
power from the rectifier or the DC power from the battery into AC power, and provides the AC power for the load. The
battery powers the load through the inverter in the event of a power failure. When the inverter is faulty or turned off, the
mains source can also power the load through the static bypass.
If UPS maintenance or repair is necessary, the load can be transferred to the maintenance bypass without power
interruption.

4.1.2 Static Switch

The circuit block labeled static switch in Figure 4-1 contains an electronically controlled switching circuit that enables
the load to be connected to either the inverter output or to a bypass power source through the static bypass line.
During normal system operation, the load is connected to the inverters; but in the event of a UPS overload or inverter
failure, the load is automatically transferred to the static bypass line.
During normal operating conditions, the inverter output and bypass supply must be fully synchronized so as to achieve
a clean (no-break) load transfer between the inverter output and static bypass line. The synchronization between the
inverter output and static bypass is achieved through the inverter control electronics, which make the inverter
frequency track that of the static bypass supply, provided that the bypass remains within an acceptable frequency
window.
Chapter 4 Operation 25
A manually controlled, maintenance bypass supply is incorporated into the UPS design. It enables the critical load to
be powered from the maintenance bypass supply while the UPS is shut down for routine maintenance and repair.
Note
When the UPS is operating in bypass mode or on maintenance bypass, the connected equipment is not protected from power
failures or surges and sags.
4.2 Parallel System

As shown in Figure 4-2, two UPS modules can be parallel-connected to form a parallel system to increase the system
capacity or reliability, or both. The load is equally shared between the paralleled UPSs.

4.2.1 Parallel System Features

1. The hardware and software of parallel system are completely the same as those of single UPS module. The parallel
configuration is achieved through settings in configuration software. The parameter settings of each UPS module in
parallel system should be the same.
2. Parallel control cables are connected in a ring, providing both system reliability and redundancy. Dual bus control
cables are connected between any two UPS modules of each bus. The intelligent parallel logic provides the user with
maximum flexibility. For example, shutting down or starting up UPS modules in a parallel system can be done in any
sequence. Transfers between normal and bypass modes of operation are synchronised and self–recoverable, for
example, following overloads and their clearance.
3. The total load of the parallel system can be queried from each UPS module’s LCD.
4.2.2 Requirements For Paralleling Of UPS Modules

A UPS system consisting of two paralleled UPS modules behave as if it were one large UPS with the advantage of
presenting higher reliability. To ensure that all modules are equally used and to comply with relevant wiring rules, the
following requirements apply:
1. All UPS modules must be of the same rating and must be connected to the same source.
2. Any RCD, if installed, must be of an appropriate setting and located upstream of the common neutral bonding point.
Alternatively, the device must monitor the protective earth current of the system. Refer to Warning: high leakage
current before Contents.
3. The outputs of the two UPS modules must be connected to a common output bus.
4.3 Operation Mode

The UPS is an on-line, double-conversion, reverse-transfer UPS that permits operation in these modes:
z Normal mode
z Battery mode
z Automatic restart mode
z Bypass mode
z Maintenance mode (manual bypass)
z Parallel and redundancy mode
z Dormancy mode
z Common battery mode
4.3.1 Normal Mode

The UPS rectifiers derive power from the AC mains input source and supply DC power to the inverters, which
continuously supply the AC load. Simultaneously, the charger, which derives power from the rectifiers, float or boost
charges the associated backup battery of the UPS.
4.3.2 Battery Mode

The UPS is operating in battery mode when the battery is supplying backup power to the load through the inverters.
Upon mains failure, the UPS automatically transfers to battery mode without power interruption to the load. Upon
restoration of the AC mains, the UPS automatically transfers back to normal mode without the necessity of user
intervention, without power interruption to the load.
Note: Battery start function is available for switching the UPS on into Battery (charged) mode directly during mains
failure. Thus, the battery power can be used independently to increase the UPS utility.
4.3.3 Automatic Restart Mode

The battery becomes exhausted following an extended AC mains failure. The inverters shut down when the battery
reaches the EOD voltage. The UPS can be programmed to automatic restart after EOD after a set variable delay time.
This mode and any delay time are programmed by the commissioning engineer.
During the delay time before automatic restart, the UPS charges the battery so as to avoid power interruption to load in
case of a following power failure.
In case the UPS is not programmed to automatic restart, you can use the FAULT CLEAR key to manually start the
UPS.
4.3.4 Bypass Mode

During normal mode operation, if the inverters fail, are overloaded or turned off, the static switch will perform a transfer
of the load from the inverters to the bypass source, with no interruption in power to the load. Should the inverters be
Chapter 4 Operation 27
asynchronous with the bypass, the static switch will perform a transfer of the load from the inverters to the bypass, with
interruption in power to the load. This is to avoid paralleling of unsynchronised AC sources. This interruption is
programmable but typically set to be less than 3/4 of an electrical cycle, for example, less than 15ms (50Hz) or less
than 12.5ms (60Hz).
4.3.5 Maintenance Mode

If UPS maintenance or repaired is needed, you may use the manual maintenance switch to transfer the load to the
maintenance bypass, with no interruption in power to the load.
Warning: risk after load transfer to maintenance bypass
After the UPS is transferred to maintenance bypass, the power modules and bypass module are inoperative and the LCD has no
display, only the green indicator of the input SPD shows that the UPS has mains input, but the output terminals corresponding to
closed output distribution switches and the neutral bars are energized.
4.3.6 Parallel Redundancy Mode

For higher capacity or higher reliability or both, the outputs of two UPS modules can be programmed for direct
paralleling while a built-in parallel controller in each UPS ensures automatic load sharing.
4.3.7 Dormancy Mode

Dormancy mode is designed to maximize the number of the dormant power modules while ensuring load power, which
brings the system efficiency to the greatest extent. The dormancy mode is configured by the commissioning engineer
through the background software. This mode has the following restrictions on the power module addresses: When
there are five power modules, the power module addresses should be 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in turn; when there are four
power modules, the power module address should be 1, 2, 3 and 4 in turn; when there are three power modules, the
power module addresses should be 1, 2 and 3 in turn; when there are two power modules, the power module
addresses should be 1 and 2 in turn.
Note
In dormancy mode, sudden load change should be avoided, which may cause UPS transfer to bypass mode.
4.3.8 Common Battery Mode

Common battery function means that in UPS paralleling, the UPS modules can share a battery string to save cost and
space and improve efficiency.
Note
Batteries of different manufacturers, models or used time cannot be used together.
4.4 Battery Management (Set By Commissioning Engineer)
4.4.1 Normal Function

1. Constant current boost charge.
The charge current can be set.
2. Constant voltage boost charge.
The boost charge voltage can be set as required by the type of battery.
For VRLA batteries, the maximum boost charge voltage should not exceed 2.4V/cell.
3. Float charge.
The float charge voltage can be set as required by the type of battery.
For VRLA batteries, the float charge voltage should be between 2.2V/cell and 2.3V/cell.
4. Float charge temperature compensation (optional).

The temperature compensation coefficient can be set as required by the type of battery.
5. EOD protection.
When the battery voltage drops to the EOD voltage, the battery converter shuts down automatically and the battery is
isolated to avoid further battery discharge. The EOD voltage is settable from 1.6V/cell to 1.75V/cell (VRLA) or 0.9V/cell
to 1.1V/cell (NiCd).
6. Battery low pre-warning time.
The battery low pre-warning time is adjustable between 3min and 60min. The default setting is 5min.
4.4.2 Advanced Function

The UPS provides battery maintenance test function. Battery maintenance test is also called as battery self-test. At
periodic intervals, 20% of the rated capacity of the battery will be discharged automatically, and the actual load must
exceed 20% of the UPS nominal capacity. If the load is less than 20%, the automatic discharge cannot be executed.
The periodic interval can be set from 30 to 360 days. The battery self-test can be disabled.
Conditions: battery at float charge for at least 5h, load equal to 20% ~ 80% of rated UPS capacity.
Trigger: manually through the command of Battery Maintenance Test on LCD or automatically.
Interval: 30 days ~ 360 days (default setting: 60 days).
4.5 Battery Protection (Set By Commissioning Engineer)

Battery low pre-warning
The battery low pre-warning occurs before the EOD. After this pre-warning, the battery should have the capacity for
three remaining minutes discharging with full load. The time can be configured from 3min to 60min.
EOD protection
When the battery voltage drops to the EOD voltage, the battery converter shuts down. The EOD voltage is adjustable
from 1.6V/cell to 1.75V/cell (VRLA) or 0.9V/cell to 1.1V/cell (NiCd).
BCB open alarm
This warning occurs when the BCB opens. The battery is connected to the UPS through the BCB, which is manually
closed and electronically tripped by the UPS control circuits.
