11 SECURITY NOTICE Read this manual carefully before installing and using TECNOWARE EVO RT Uninterruptible Power Supply, which will be referred to as UPS from hereafter. The UPS must be used only by properly trained personnel. To ensure correct and safe operation, it is necessary that operators and maintenance personnel observe the general Safety Standards as well as the specific instructions included in this manual. Risk of electric shock: do not remove the cover.
11 INTRODUCTION EVO RT UPS EVO RT UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) are the result of constant technological research aimed at obtaining the best performance at the lowest cost. EVO RT UPS are advanced ON-LINE UPS, single-phase, built specifically to protect your computer from any irregularities in the AC line (for example blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, micro-interruptions) which often cause damage to hardware and software.
11 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS EVO RT offers all the modern characteristics which guarantee maximum reliability and security: • Microprocessor control guarantees high reliability • ON-LINE double technology without transformer • Pure Sinewave • Output voltage regulation +/- 2% • Overload, overheating and short circuit protection • AUTOMATIC BYPASS to protect from accidental overload or Inverter fault • MANUAL BYPASS through switch on the rear side • Switching ON even with no mains condition (Black
12 EXTERNAL DESCRIPTION FRONT PANEL The control buttons and leds indicating various operating modes and alarm conditions are situated on the front panel. Please see the figures 1 and 2. OFF button To turn the UPS OFF, press this button for 3 seconds. ON/TEST/ALARM button Can be used for 3 functions: • SWITCHING ON: the UPS is switched on by keeping the button continuously pressed for 3 seconds.
LOAD LEVEL led bar Refer Figure 2 The led bar has 6 leds (5 leds are blue and one led is red). This bar indicates the output power percentage (LOAD LEVEL), proportional to the number of switched on leds. The greater the load the more LED indicators will light on.
EPO (EMERGENCY POWER OFF) EPO 2 1 Remote Button EPO EVO have the EPO (Emergency Power OFF) connector (2 terminals connector) on the rear. This permits to immediately switch the UPS OFF from a distance in case of emergency. To use EPO function is very simple: it is sufficient to connect an external switch to the EPO terminal(see Figure 3 – Rear Side): if the switch is CLOSED the UPS works normally. If on the contrary, the switch is OPEN then the UPS turns OFF immediately.
DRY CONTACTS BOARD (OPTIONAL) Common 1 2 Fault 3 4 Bypass 6 5 AC fail 7 8 Low BAT 9 10 The Dry Contact Board is constituted by a 10 pin connector. 1. Common Pin 1 and Pin 2 are common pins. 2. Fault Pin 3 is the normal-open output: When UPS works normally, Pin 3 and Pin 1-2 will be open, when UPS is failed, Pin 3 and Pin 1-2 will be closed. Pin 4 is normal-closed output: When UPS works normally, Pin 4 and Pin 1-2 will be closed, when is failed, Pin 4 and Pin 1-2 will be open. 3.
13 RUNNING OPERATIONS SWITCHING ON If the UPS is switched off and connected to the electric line, the LINE Led in the front side is switched on together with the BAT. LEVEL led bar showing the batteries capacity level. In these conditions the UPS has the only function of recharging batteries and there is no power on the output sockets (switched off output). If it is disconnected from the AC utility line, the UPS will switch off completely after a few seconds.
BATTERY MODE The UPS automatically runs in BATTERY mode if the Mains Voltage amplitude gets out of security limits (in case of a black-out or overvoltage-lowvoltage): in this case, the UPS supplies the required output power by its internal battery and by the DC/DC CONVERTER, BOOSTER and INVERTER blocks (see figure 1). The UPS automatically returns to function in LINE mode a few seconds after the AC input line is recovered.
The UPS warns the user of this LOW BATTERY condition by increasing the acoustic alarm signal (there is an acoustic signal every second) and by turning on the yellow led of the BAT. LEVEL. If the AC utility power is not restored within one minute of this condition, the UPS will automatically switch OFF. This will protect the batteries from a sudden discharge. EVO RT will stop supplying output power, will deactivate the alarm signals and will place itself in a stand-by mode.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS RECEIPT OF UPS Inspect the UPS upon receipt. If the UPS has been damaged during shipment, keep the box and packing material for the carrier. Notify the carrier and dealer immediately.
3. Switch the UPS OFF. 4. Connect the devices to be supplied to the UPS output sockets. Then put all the main switch of each device in the ON position. 5. Restart the UPS; and see that it operates correctly; wait for the UPS to start working properly in LINE mode and that no overload signal or any other form of anomalies are present. Then make sure that all equipments switch on correctly. In case of Overload immediately reduce the power demand by disconnecting the devices that cause the overload.

SUGGESTIONS FOR A CORRECT USE MAINTENANCE EVO RT needs minimal maintenance throughout its lifetime. WARNING Prior to starting any check up or cleaning operations make sure that the UPS is switched off and that the mains voltage in the UPS input is switched off. We advise to periodically check the mains input cable, the output connections and to dust the ventilation holes. Do not use liquids or detergents to clean the UPS. Only use a damp cloth.
For BATTERIES REPLACEMENT, please follow the following steps: 1. With the UPS functioning in LINE mode, please force the transfer into BYPASS mode by moving the manual BYPASS switch, positioned on the rear side, in ON (BYPASS) position. All details are described in the Chapter “Functioning – Bypass” 2. In order to access to the HOT SWAP battery box, firstly remove the right part of the front panel. Remove manually the panel. 3.
18 ANOMALIES AND TROUBLESHOOTING A list of anomalies and related solutions are described below: The UPS does not switch on and does not give any signals • Press the ON/TEST/ALARM button on the front panel for more than 1 second. If the UPS does not switch on go to the next step. • Leave the UPS connected to the mains for at least 4 hours in order to recharge the batteries. Then try to switch on again. The UPS continues to run in BATTERY mode and the mains input voltage is present.
