11 SECURITY NOTICE Read this manual carefully before installing and using TECNOWARE EVO 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 UPS EVO UPS EVO (Uninterruptible Power Supplies) are the result of constant technological research aimed at obtaining the best performance at the lowest cost. UPS EVO 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, microinterruptions) which often cause damage to hardware and software.
11 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS EVO 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 • Autom
12 EXTERNAL DESCRIPTION FRONT PANEL On the front panel there are the control buttons and some leds which indicate the various operating mode and alarm conditions. Please see the figures 1 and 2 OFF button To turn off the UPS, press this button for more than one second. ON/TEST/ALARM button Can be used for 3 functions: • TURN ON: the UPS is turned on by keeping the button continuously pressed for more than 1 second.
LOAD LEVEL led bar Refer figure 2 – Front Panel. 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 The EVO models 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) Fault Common 1 2 3 4 Bypass 6 5 AC fail 7 8 Low BAT 9 10 The Dry Contact board has a 10 pin connector on the rear side of the UPS. 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 batteries capacity level. In these conditions 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, after some second UPS is switched off completely.
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.
LOW BATTERY AND AUTOMATIC RESTART In BATTERY mode, EVO indicates the LOW BATTERY condition whenever the battery reaches a charge level allowing connected devices to operate for approximately one more minute. 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.
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.
FIRST START-UP The first start-up procedure is very simple. We advise you to follow the steps below explained. 1. 2. Through the supplied cable connect the UPS to the AC line outlet. It is mandatory to ground the outlet according to the Safety Standards. Carefully check the grounding, make sure that the utility power is available, and that its range falls within the UPS specifications. Switch the UPS ON and see that it operates correctly. Check that the UPS does not signal any sort of anomaly.

SUGGESTIONS FOR A CORRECT USE MAINTENANCE EVO needs minimal maintenance throughout its lifetime. WARNING Prior to achieve 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 humid cloth.
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 1 second. If the UPS does not switch on go into 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.
WARNING Risk of electric shock: do not remove the cover. The UPS contains internal parts which are at a high voltage and are potentially dangerous, capable of causing injury or death by electric shock. There are no internal parts in the UPS which are user serviceable. Any repair or maintenance work must be performed exclusively by qualified technical personnel authorized by TECNOWARE. TECNOWARE declines any responsibility if this warning is disregarded.
