Chapter 1 Chloride Introduction Thank you for selecting this uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Chloride’s Active UPS offers the most reliable protection from the harmful effects of electrical line disturbances for your computing and communications equipment. 1.1 Registering your Chloride Active UPS To ensure that your Active model and serial number are registered, complete and mail the enclosed postagepaid warranty card. 1.
• Transport the unit only in suitable packaging (protect against jolts and shocks). • If the equipment is moved indoors from a cold environment, condensation may occur. Before you place the equipment in service it must be absolutely dry. An acclimatization period of at least two hours is required. • This equipment must be installed in an indoor, temperature controlled environment that is free of conductive contaminants.
Chapter 2 Display and Operation Elements (Active) The Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) is connected between AC power and the load. It protects the load against mains disturbances, especially power failures. Its operation is based on the on-line principle. The connected load is supplied power through the UPS’s inverter. Power disturbances from the mains are suppressed which increases the loads’ operational security (PC, network server, multi-user systems etc.
2.1 Front The OVERLOAD indicator is on when the UPS is overloaded. The LED-chain LOAD indicates the load state of the UPS. The BYPASS indicator is on when the UPS supplies a voltage via the bypass. The INVERTER indicator is on when the inverter is in operation. The LED-chain BATTERY indicates the battery’s charge state (normal operation) or the % of battery time remaining when mains fail. The LINE indicator is on when there is mains voltage at the UPS input. The ALARM indicator is on when the UPS is faulty.

Chapter 3 Active Rackmount Series The technical data of the Active Rackmount UPS corresponds to the standard unit series Active, except for the details which are explained below. The Active Rackmount consists of the following types: • Active700-19, with 700 VA nominal rating • Active1000-19, with 1000 VA nominal rating • Active2000-19, with 2000 VA nominal rating • Active3000-19, with 3000 VA nominal rating, • BPActive1000-19 • BPActive3000-19 The above listed units with a mounting height of 2 U (2 U = 3.
3.2.2 Mechanical Attachment The units must be attached in the rack on both sides. When using the attached mounting rails, the single unit can easily be inserted into a 2 U mounting space or removed from it. In order to attach the unit in the horizontal position, the front-plate has to be attached to the 19-inch rack at the indicated points on both sides of the unit. Do not attach the unit only at the front-plate. This may damage the unit and/or other mounted units. Fig.
3.3 Unit Rear View and Connections 3.3.1 Active 700-19 and Active 1000-19 The following figures show the Active700-19, Active1000-19, Active2000-19 and Active 3000-19 with battery extensions. NOTE: No battery extension can be connected to the 700 VA unit. Fig. 6: Active700-19 Fig. 7: Active1000-19 Fig. 8: Battery Pack - BPActive1000-19 To connect the battery pack to the unit, use the separate cable supplied.
3.3.2 Active 2000-19 and Active 3000-19 NOTE: Each battery cabinet BPActive3000-19 contains two battery connections. The first battery pack is connected to the battery cables of the UPS, each further extension is connected by means of the two cables. Each cable is non-interchangeable, because the sockets are coded.

Chapter 4 Active Installation and Commissioning Upon receipt of your UPS, carefully examine the packing containers for any sign of physical damage. Notify the carrier immediately if damage is present. Carefully unpack the UPS. Retain the packaging for reuse or disposal. NOTE: If damages are detected, please inform the shipping agent immediately.
4.1 Commissioning of an External Battery Cabinet The following table shows the designations of the battery cabinets which are available for the UPS devices. Table 2.

Chapter 5 Operational Characteristics (Active) 5.1 Ready for Operation Check To check the emergency supply feature of the UPS, it must be disconnected from the mains. When correctly functioning with charged batteries, an acoustical signal in intervals of 4 seconds will be heard. The LED “LINE” (line voltage) indicator disappears. When the interval between the acoustical signals is reduced to 1 second, the UPS will supply energy for a maximum of 3 more minutes before it is automatically switched off.
5.3 Modes of Operation There are three modes of operation, when the UPS is switched on. 5.3.1 Normal Operation, Inverter On (Mains Available) Lights Illuminated Fig. 14: Front Display Panel During Normal Operations (Mains Available) The loads are supplied through the inverter, the energy is taken from the mains. 5.3.2 Battery Operation, Inverter On (Mains Failure) Lights Illuminated During Power Failure Fig.
5.3.3 Bypass Operation, Inverter OFF (Overload > 140%) Lights Illuminated in BYPASS Operation Fig. 16: Front Display Panel During Bypass Operation (Overload > 140%) In the event of large overload (> 140%) switch-over to bypass is initiated and the inverter is blocked. The energy is taken from the mains. This is not a normal operating status. In the event of mains failure the loads will no longer be supplied (no UPS operation).
Chapter 6 Description of the Interface (Active) The Active UPS has a standard interface COM A and an optional interface COM B. Protocol data transfer signal exchange is through COM A RS232 interface or the optional interface (COM B). These interfaces can be used for: • Direct communication between UPS and a computer. • Integration of the UPS as client into a network with centralized monitoring. • Transfer of operational states to external alarm systems.
Table 3. Interface COM A Pin Number Condition SGN at pin 5 This connection point serves as a reference for all signals. RXD at pin 2 and TXD at pin 3 In conforms standard RS232 configuration. INV SHUTDOWN at pin 2 This input (pin 2: High signal +5V...+12V, tŠ 1 second, pin 5: 0V) enables the control processor to switch off the UPS in the event of a mains failure. After the mains has been reestablished, the UPS starts again independent of this signal status.
INV SHUTDOWN This input (pin 3) is enabled with a high signal (+5 V to +12 V with respect to pin 4 (0 V)) and when enabled, switches off the UPS after a mains failure has occurred. After the mains has been reestablished, the UPS starts again independent of this signal status. This input must be high for one (1) second before shut off will occur. AC FAIL This output provides an N/O (Normally Open) contact between pins 9 and 5, and an N/C (Normally Closed) contact between pins 8 and 5.
Chapter 7 Maintenance (Active) The UPS does not require maintenance by the user. When the battery expires, the UPS or the battery must be replaced by qualified electrical personnel. The typical battery’s lifetime is 4 years at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. This may vary greatly depending upon load conditions, number of outages, and environmental factors.
Chapter 8 Troubleshooting (Active) If a problem occurs in spite of the high reliability of the device, please review the following checks before calling Chloride Technical Services.
