OPERATING INSTRUCTION UPS PROTECT A. PROTECT A. 500 PROTECT A.
1 Notes on these Operating Instructions Duty to Provide Information These operating instructions will help you to install and operate the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), PROTECT A. 500 or PROTECT A. 700, all referred to as PROTECT A. in this document, safely and properly, and for its intended purpose.
etc. entered into by AEG and its representatives without prior notification in the event of maintenance and repair work being carried out with anything other than original AEG spare parts or spare parts purchased by AEG. Handling PROTECT A. is designed and constructed so that all necessary steps for start-up and operation can be performed without any internal manipulation of the unit. Maintenance and repair work may only be performed by trained and qualified personnel.

2 2.1 Safety Important 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 which 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 230 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). Danger! Risk of burning! The battery has powerful short-circuit currents.
♦ Never connect the mains input to the UPS output! ♦ Ensure that no fluids or foreign bodies can penetrate the UPS! ♦ Do not block the side air vents of the unit! Keep children away from the unit and ensure that objects are never inserted through the vents! ♦ Do not connect household appliances such as hairdryers to the UPS! ♦ The mains connection should be near the unit and easily accessible to facilitate disconnecting the AC input or pulling out the plug! ♦ During operation, do not disconnect the mains co
Batteries can cause electric shocks and high short-circuit currents. Therefore, take the following safety precautions when working with batteries: ♦ Take off watches, rings and other metallic objects! ♦ Always use tools with insulated handles! For personal safety reasons, never switch on the main switch when the mains connector of PROTECT A.
3 System Description i PROTECT A. is an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for essential loads such as personal computers (PCs) or telecommunication equipment and similar devices. It consists of: ♦ Mains filter in the mains input incl. mains energy backfeed protection ♦ A.V.R.
double mains filters which provide effective protection against mains voltage peaks and high-frequency faults. In case of sustained mains undervoltage or overvoltage within defined ranges, the automatic voltage regulator (A.V.R.) further stabilises the load voltage. As a result, voltage fluctuations in the public utility's mains are reduced to a level which is acceptable for the loads.
4 Set-Up and Operation Installing the UPS is as easy as following the steps shown. 4.1 Inspection Remove the UPS from its packaging and inspect it for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If any damage is discovered, repack the unit and return it to the place of purchase. 4.2 Placement Install the UPS unit in any protected environment that provides adequate airflow around the unit which is free from excessive dust, corrosive fumes and conductive contaminants.
4.3 Charging This unit is shipped from the factory with its internal battery fully charged, however, some power may be lost during shipping and the battery should be recharged prior to use. Plug the unit into an appropriate power supply and allow the UPS to charge fully by leaving it plugged in for at least 4 hours with no load (no electrical devices such as computers, monitors, etc.). 4 hours 4.
Use one more internet line cable and plug one end of the internet line cable to the “Out” socket at the back of the PROTECT A. UPS. Plug the other end of the modem input socket as shown below. 4.6 USB and serial cable connection To allow for unattended system shutdown for your operating system, connect the USB or the RS232 serial cable as shown below. For the USB serial cable just simply plug into the UPS and PC and it will be auto detected. RS232-connection USB port 4.
After removing the front cover, follow Fig. 2 above to remove partition by unscrewing it. Then follow Fig. 3 to remove the battery. Fig. 3 Fig. 1 Fig. 2 4.10 Shutdown- and UPS management software The "CompuWatch" software specially developed for these purposes by AEG continuously checks the mains supply and the UPS status.
In conjunction with the "intelligent" UPS, this ensures that the availability of IT components and data security are guaranteed. The "CompuWatch" shutdown software supports different operating systems: Windows 98SE/ME, Windows NT/2000/ XP, Linux SUSE, Linux RedHat, Novell NetWare, IBM AIX, HP-UX, SUN Solaris, Mac OS, and others. Refer to the manual on the CD for details about installing the software on the various operating systems.
