2 System Overview i PROTECT A. is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for essential loads such as PCs, workstations, relatively small-scale telecommunication equipment and similar devices. The PROTECT A. series is a compact, interactively operating UPS available with nominal power output ratings 500, 700, 1000 and 1400 VA. This document describes both types, PROTECT A. 500 and PROTECT A. 700. 2.
♦ Overvoltage protection (RJ11) for fax, modem and phone ♦ CompuWatch software for shutdown, status messages and measurement values for all major operating systems (incl. Windows, Mac, Linux) ♦ Compact design / without fan Principle of Operation The UPS is connected to a shockproof socket between the public utility’s mains and the loads to be protected. Under normal operating conditions, i.e. if PROTECT A.
The static bypass switch is activated in the event of a mains failure. The inverter then takes over the voltage supply of the connected loads, in order to prevent the risk of data loss or damage to the loads. PROTECT A. supplies voltage until the battery is discharged or your IT system has been shut down and switched off properly. The standby time mainly depends on the connected loads. If the mains power supply is back to normal values, the UPS will switch back the loads to mains supply.
3 Safety 3.1 General Safety Instructions Read these operating instructions carefully prior to commissioning of the PROTECT A. UPS and observe the safety instructions! Only use the unit if it is in a technically perfect condition and always in accordance with its intended purpose, while being aware of safety and danger aspects, and in accordance with the operating instructions! Immediately eliminate any faults that could be detrimental to safety.
The output may be live, even if the UPS is not connected to the mains supply, as the UPS has its own internal power supply (battery)! For health and safety reasons, the unit must be earthed correctly! PROTECT A. may only be operated with or connected to a 220 / 230 / 240 VAC mains with protective grounding using a mains connection cable with PE conductor (included in the delivery) that has been tested in accordance with German standards (VDE).
♦ Condensation may occur if the UPS is brought from a cold environment into the room where it is to be installed. The UPS must be absolutely dry prior to startup. As a result, leave it to acclimatise for at least two hours.
When replacing the battery, the following must be observed: Only ever use an identical, maintenance-free sealed lead battery with the same data as the original battery. Danger! Explosive! Never throw batteries into open fire. Never open or damage batteries. (Electrolyte may leak out and damage skin and eyes. It may be toxic!) Batteries can cause electric shocks and high short-circuit currents.

5 Installation and Operation 5.1 Check Remove the UPS from its transport packaging and check that it has not been damaged in transit. If you find any damage, pack the unit up again and send it back to where you purchased it. 5.2 Installation Install the UPS unit in a protected location where there is an adequate air supply and where it will be largely free from dust build-up, corrosive vapours and electrically conductive contamination.
5.3 Charging The PROTECT A. is supplied with its battery fully charged. Nevertheless, energy may have been lost during transport, so the battery should be fully recharged before it is used for the first time. Connect the input of the UPS (no. 2 in the figure in chapter 4.3 on page 19) to the mains connection cable provided and plug the mains connector into a suitable shockproof socket. Allow the UPS to charge up for about 8 hours without any load (i.e. without any devices such as computers, monitors, etc.
i 5.5 Note that the additional output socket identified in white has a special property (chapter 4.3 / no. 6 / pg.19). This is always live irrespective of the other outputs. It is not backed up by the UPS, nor can it be switched off using the main switch of the UPS. It is intended for loads that should be protected against overvoltage but do not necessarily need a continued power supply (emergency power) in case of a mains failure. Limit the power to max. 500 W.
i 5.7 The interfaces are mutually exclusive. There is no provision for simultaneous operation of RS232 and USB. Operation Once you have connected the UPS to a suitable mains connection, you can start operation using the UPS main switch. Switching ON and OFF: To switch on, press the main switch on the front of the UPS (chapter 4.3 / no. 1 / pg.19). You must be able to feel this engage in its 2nd position. Press the main switch again to switch off the UPS. Normally, the UPS operates continuously.
The connected loads are powered using the monitored and filtered mains voltage, which is additionally stabilised by the integrated A.V.R. control unit. The green “Normal” LED shows that the unit is active. 5.7.2 Battery Operation / Autonomous Operation When there is a mains failure or if the input voltage moves outside the tolerance range, the inverter automatically switches over to autonomous mode and supplies the loads with voltage from the battery.
signal. This might occur because the battery undervoltage limit has been reached, if the temperature has risen too high, or it might indicate that the internal battery system needs to be renewed. Faults detected and signalled during diagnosis must be rectified, otherwise there is a risk of load voltage loss if a mains failure occurs! 5.7.4 Shutdown and UPS Management Software The “CompuWatch” software specially developed for these purposes by AEG continuously checks the mains supply and the UPS status.
6 Displays and Troubleshooting 6.1 Warning Sounds Warning sound 6.2 Meaning Sounds every 10 seconds UPS is operating in battery mode. Sounds every second UPS is running in battery mode and will shortly shut down (battery system has reached the battery undervoltage limit). Sounds every two seconds Battery system faulty, it may have to be renewed (battery diagnosis negative). Sounds twice every second UPS output is overloaded.
Data backup time is only very short on power failure UPS overload Remove loads that are less important Battery voltage is too low Charge the battery for at least 8 hours Renew the battery with a Battery fault die to high battery of the same type temperature in the operating environment or incorrect treatment of the battery; advanced battery ageing Mains normal, but Fuse blown “Battery” LED flashes De-energise the unit; insert a replacement fuse.
7 Maintenance The PROTECT A. consists of state-of-the-art, non-wearing components. We do, however, recommend regular visual checks of the unit to maintain its continuous availability and operational reliability. Check whether: ♦ there is any mechanical damage or foreign bodies can be found in the system, ♦ any conductive dirt or dust has accumulated in the unit, ♦ accumulation of dust affects heat supply and dissipation. CAUTION: The PROTECT A.
7.1 Battery Replacement ATTENTION: A battery can cause an electric shock, and represents a considerable hazard if handled incorrectly. The following precautions should be taken before the battery is renewed. ♦ Switch off the UPS and disconnect the mains cable from the socket. ♦ Remove any rings, wristwatch and other metallic objects you may be wearing. ♦ If the replacement battery kit is damaged in any way or shows any signs of leaking, please contact your dealer immediately.
8 Storage and Disposal Storage Long storage times without charging or discharging the battery at regular intervals may lead to permanent damage of the battery. If the battery is stored at room temperature (20° C to 30° C) it will automatically discharge at a rate of 3-6% per month due to internal reactions. Storing the battery at temperatures above room temperature should be avoided. A high storage temperature also means a higher rate of battery degradation.
