2 General Information 2.1 Technology i PROTECT C. is an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for essential loads such as PCs, workstations, servers, network components, telecommunication equipment and similar devices.
View of the PROTECT C. components 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.
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 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.

6 Electrical Start-Up Verify that UPS voltage of your country corresponds to your equipment voltage. The default setting is set to 230 V. Output voltage on the UPS system can be adjusted with the software “CompuWatch” in steps of 220 Vac, 230 Vac and 240 Vac. Turn on the PROTECT C. to the mains 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. i Ensure, that the connection have been realised according to the installation guide. Ensure, that all loads are switched of.
i 8. i Please shut down the entire system if you cannot solve any problems which occur. Press the OFF button for about 2 seconds. Disconnect the UPS from the mains by pressing the mains input circuit breaker (Pos 3, page 26). Please contact our hotline (page 5). When all displays are lit as described, switch on your loads one after the other. Note the maximum permitted UPS load when doing this.
k diagram 6.1 Operating The following operation modes are possible: Operation with existing mains (6.1.1) Operation with faulty mains (6.1.2) Operation with faulty inverter (6.1.3) Manual bypass (6.1.4) 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.
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. This drains the capacity of the battery and it is discharged.
The LED bargraph (LED chain on the left hand side of the ON / OFF button) show during operation the actual utilization of the UPS (chapter 8.1.1, page 45 ff). 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. This is signalled by the bypass symbol. This function is also referred to as passive redundancy.
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 synchronisation unit in the bypass ensures that the frequency and phase of the inverter voltage is synchronised with the mains. i 6.1.4 The LED bar graph functions as display for USP utilisation.
depending on the level of the overload. However, the connected load must be reduced without delay. 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.
7 Interfaces and communication 7.1 Computer interfaces RS232 The UPS offers various interfaces to manage the system and to comfortable readout state information and important parameters. The communication protocol is optimized for operation with the shutdown and UPS management software “CompuWatch” from AEG. To connect the UPS to your computer use the provided RS232 communication cable by attaching them to a free port of your pc.
In conjunction with the "intelligent" UPS, this ensures that the availability of IT components and data security is guaranteed.

Cutoff because of UPS internal overtemperature detection.
9 Parallel operation 9.1 Functionality PROTECT C. 6000 (S) and C. 10000 (S) was developed for the parallel operation in n+x technology (”n“ stands for the number of necessary appliances for load supply, “x“ stands for the redundancy level). Up to three appliances of the same type can be connected in parallel to raise the output power and/or to receive a higher availability. The following constellations are possible according to the n+x technology: 1 + 0 Use of 1 unit max.
The active redundant parallel operation will switch automatically to the increase power mode if more power is required at the output of the UPS. This implements that the redundancy level decreases or will diminish completely. On the other hand the level of redundancy of the UPS will increase if the power consumption on the output decreases.
The first step is to remove the parallel port cover (Pos 5, page 26) and to connect the UPS with each other with the parallel operation line. With two units use one, with three units use two parallel operation lines (don’t build up a ring structure!) (Communication) parallel operation interconnection ... with 2 units: ... with 3 units: After connecting the units with the parallel operation line close the parallel operation cover again. Turn the cover by 180° such that the notches show to the bottom.
5. 6. i position „bypass” i.e. that the mains supplies the loads bus-bar. Connect the separator of the output of each UPS, i.e. connect every output of a UPS with the parallel operation bus-bar. Put in the prefuse of the low voltage main distribution field (there, where the UPS systems are connected on the input side with the mains), resp. switch on the corresponding line fuse. The load supply now takes place via the central external manual bypass.
10. i Now switch on the inverters of each UPS. To do this, press and hold the UPS ON switch one by one for about 2 seconds. When being powered on, the UPS will perform self-diagnosis, the Load/Battery level LEDs will be turned on and then off one after another in ascending order. After synchronising all inverters successfully the LED “Inverter” will go on after some seconds on each UPS, with the UPS in parallel normal mode. The loads bus-bar is supplied by the UPS.
bypass for the loads is done, i.e. activation of the manual bypass operation, suspension of the supply for the load by the UPS bus-bar. The clearance of the voltage of each UPS is realised in the low voltage distribution. Now the expansion resp. the reduction of the parallel compound can be executed now. Watch out for the bridge between “JP1” and JP2” and the parallel operation line. The activation follows the steps in chapter 9.3.1.
10 Maintenance The PROTECT C. consists of advanced and resistant components. To guarantee a continuous and high availability it is recommended to check the unit (especially the batteries and the fans) in regular intervals (at least every 6 months). CAUTION: Before going through the next step disconnect the PROTECT C. from the mains. 10.1 Charging the Battery The battery is automatically charged when the mains is present, irrespective of the operating mode.
♦ 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: PROTECT C. must be disconnected from the power supply prior to carrying out the following work. If large quantities of dust have accumulated, the unit should, as a precaution, be cleaned with dry compressed air, in order to ensure adequate heat dissipation.
11 Storage, Dismantling and Disposal 11.1 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 greater battery self-discharge.
12 Glossary 12.1 Technical terms Appliance protection Surge technology term The conventional mains surge protection consists of an mains earthwire (class B), an overvoltage protection (class C) and an appliance protection (class D) – see also e.g. under http://www.phoenixcontact.
