2.2
System Description
The UPS is connected to a shockproof socket 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. A separate, second rectifier (charging REC set
up using switch mode power supply technology) is
responsible for charging or trickle-charging the battery
connected in the intermediate circuit. The configuration of this
charging REC means the harmonic content of the charging
current for the battery is almost zero, so the service life of the
battery is increased even more. The inverter is responsible for
converting the DC voltage into a sinusoidal output voltage. A
microprocessor-controlled control system based on pulse-
width modulation (PWM) in conjunction with an extremely
quickly pulsating IGBT power semiconductors of the inverter
guarantee that the 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 rectifier. No switching
operations are necessary; this means there is no interruption
in the supply to the load.
For safety reasons (as required by German standards, VDE),
the mains input in the unit will be disconnected by a two-pole
switch in the event of a mains failure. Energy backfeed to the
mains and voltage supply to the pins of the mains connector
are thus reliably avoided.
The automatic bypass serves to increase the reliability of the
supply further. It switches the public mains directly through to
the load if there is an inverter malfunction. As a result, the
automatic bypass represents an extra passive redundancy for
the load.

General Safety Instructions
Read these operating instructions prior to start-up of the
PROTECT C. UPS and its external battery modules (special
accessories), 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
that could be detrimental to safety.
The following pictograms are used in these operating
instructions to identify dangers and important information:

3.2
Safety Instructions for PROTECT C.
This chapter contains important instructions for the
PROTECT C. UPS and its external battery modules (special
accessories). These must be followed during assembly,
operation and maintenance of the uninterruptible power
supply and the battery systems (internal and, if appropriate,
external as well).
9
The UPS carries high voltage. Danger! The unit
may only be opened by trained and qualified
personnel. Repairs may only be carried out by
qualified customer service staff!
The output may be live, even if the UPS is not
connected to the mains, since the UPS has its
own internal power supply (battery)!
For health and safety reasons, the unit must be
earthed correctly!
PROTECT C. may only be operated with or connected to a
220 V / 230 V / 240 V mains with protective grounding using a
CE marked mains connection cable with PE conductor
(included in the delivery) that has been tested in accordance
with national standards.
Danger! Risk of burning!
The battery has powerful short-circuit
currents. Incorrect connection or isolation faults
can lead to melting of the plug connections,
sparking potential and severe burns!
The unit has a warning signal that sounds when
the battery voltage of PROTECT C. is exhausted
or when the UPS is not working in its normal
mode (see also chapter 6.1).
Observe the following safety instructions to
ensure permanent operational safety of and
safe work with the UPS and the battery modules
(special accessories):
♦
♦
Do not dismantle the UPS!
(The UPS does not contain any parts that require regular
maintenance. Bear in mind that the warranty will be
invalidated if the unit is opened!)
Do not install the unit in direct sunshine or in close
proximity of heaters!
10
♦
♦
The unit is designed to be installed inside in heated
rooms. Never install the housing in the vicinity of water or
in an excessively damp environment!
Condensation may occur if the UPS is brought from a
cold environment into the room where it is to be installed.
The UPS must be absolutely dry prior to start-up. As a
result, leave it to acclimatise for at least two hours.
♦
♦
♦
Never connect the mains input to the UPS output, and
vice versa!
Ensure that no fluids or foreign bodies can penetrate the
housing!
Do not block the air vents of the unit! Keep children away
from the unit and ensure that objects are never inserted
through the air vents!
♦
Do not connect household appliances such as hairdryers to
the UPS! Also take care when working with motor loads. It is
essential to avoid back-feeding the inverter, e.g. if the load is
intermittently operated in regenerative mode.
♦
♦
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 connection
cable from the UPS or from the socket outlet in the building
(shockproof socket), otherwise the protective grounding of the
UPS and all the loads connected to it will be cancelled.
Danger! Electric shocks!
Even after the mains voltage has been
disconnected, the components within the UPS
remain connected to the battery and can thus
cause electric shocks. It is therefore imperative to
disconnect the battery circuit before carrying out
any maintenance or repair work!
If it is necessary to replace the battery or carry
out maintenance work, this must be done by or
under the supervision of a specialist familiar with
batteries and the necessary safety precautions!
Only authorised persons are allowed in the
vicinity of the batteries!
11
When replacing the batteries, the following must be observed:
Only ever use identical maintenance-free sealed lead
batteries with the same data as the original batteries.
Danger! Explosive!
Never throw batteries into open fire.
Never open or damage batteries. (Electrolyte
may leak out and damage skin and eyes. It may
be toxic!)
Batteries can cause electric shocks and high
short-circuit currents.
Take the following safety precautions when working with the
batteries:
♦
♦
Take off watches, rings and other metallic objects!
Always use tools with insulated handles!
Do not switch loads on and off using the UPS
main switch. Do not use multiple outlet adapters
with a central on/off switch, in order to avoid peak
inrush currents.
i
Switch OFF the UPS using its main switch “OFF” if you do not
intend to use it for some time. PROTECT C. must be switched
off every evening if the electricity supply in your company is
switched off every night. Otherwise, the battery will be
discharged (assumed power failure). Frequent and complete
discharging of the battery leads to a shorter service life of the
battery and should therefore be avoided!
For personal safety reasons, never switch on the
main switch when the mains connector of
PROTECT C. is disconnected!

5.1
Mechanical Set-Up
Note the following points when setting up the UPS system
and its external battery units (special accessories):
♦
♦
♦
The contact surface must be smooth and level. It must
also be sufficiently strong and sturdy to avoid vibration
and shock loads.
Make sure the mounting is able to support the weight:
This is particularly important in conjunction with external
battery units (special accessories).
Set up the units so that adequate air circulation is
assured. There must be at least 100 mm clearance at the
back for ventilation purposes. Do not block the intake
openings on the front and, if present, on the side of the
unit. There must be a gap of at least 50 mm here.
♦
♦
Set up external battery units (special accessories) to the
side of the UPS system. To ensure the greatest possible
mechanical stability, you should not set up the external
battery unit(s) above or below the UPS system.
Avoid extreme temperatures! We recommend an ambient
temperature of 15 °C to 25 °C in order to maximise the
service life of the batteries. Do not expose the units to
direct sunlight or operate them close to other heat
sources such as radiators.
♦
Protect the units against external effects (in particular
moisture and dust). In this regard, please also refer to the
instructions in chapter 4.2, page 20 in these operating
instructions.
If you transport the unit from a cold room into a warm one, or
if the room temperature suddenly drops then condensation
may form inside the unit. To avoid any damage due to
condensation, leave the unit to acclimatise for 2 hours before
you switch it on.

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.
Now connect the input of the UPS to the mains
connection cable provided and plug the mains
connector into a suitable shockproof socket. Avoid
using extension cables and / or adapters. In
particular in the case of high-capacity types, ensure
that the fusing in your sub-distribution is adequately
dimensioned: The 3kVA system for example requires
its own connection with a 16 A fuse. No other loads
should be connected to this circuit!
2.
Activate the mains input circuit breaker. If
necessary switch it to “ON”.
27
Default setting: No automatic supply for load
over integrated bypass after executing step 1
and 2 (Modification of the configuration with the
provided Software ”CompuWatch“).
i
3.
Then connect the outputs of your UPS to your
loads. Use the load connection cables provided for
this. Don’t switch on the loads yet. Please
contact your dealer if you require additional load
connection cables.
4.
5.
Now switch on the UPS. To do this, press and
hold the UPS ON switch 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 the inverter
successfully the LED “Inverter” will go on after
some seconds, with the UPS in normal mode. If
the power supply is in order (mains within the
range) an additionally the LED “Line” will go on. If
this LED is flashing, the phase and neutral of the
UPS are exchanged. In this case turn the mains
connector 1800 in the shockproof socket.
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 pulling the mains
connector. Please contact our hotline (s.p. 4).
i
6.
When all displays are lit as described, switch on
your loads one after the other. Note the maximum
permitted UPS load when doing this. Keep in mind
that especially loads like laser printers and big
CTRs have high power consumption and can
cause an overload of the UPS quickly.
Behaviour when switching on / off:
The behaviour after switching on (On-
Pushbutton) or off (Off-Pushbutton) the UPS can
be defined with the Software “CompuWatch”:
Activation of the automatic bypass or either
deactivation (latter = factory-made presetting).

Once you have connected the UPS to a suitable mains
connection, you can start operation using the UPS main
switch (see also "Electrical Start-Up" on page 27). Normally,
the UPS operates continuously. The UPS now supplies the
output with voltage, this being signalled by the symbols mains
(LED Line) and rectifier (LED Inverter) symbols which light up
permanently.
This is often referred to as “online” mode. It offers the greatest
protection, in particular when there are mains fluctuations and
mains failures, because the loads are supplied continuously
with voltage with no interruptions in this operating mode.
The LED bar graph (LED chain above the pictogram) show
during operation the actual utilization of the UPS (s. chapter
6, page 35).

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. This
status is signalled by the battery symbol (LED Battery) lighting
up, as well as an intermittent acoustic signal every 4 seconds
and every second before switching off. This can be suppressed
by pressing the “Alarm off” button. With decreasing battery
capacity the alarm is activated automatically. Depending on the
expansion level, age and condition of the battery and in
particular on the load to be supplied, the standby time can vary
from a few minutes to several hours.

The LED bar graph (LED chain above the pictogram) show
during operation the actual utilization of the UPS (s. chapter
6, page 35).
The inverter is switched off if the battery voltage drops below
a factory-set minimum voltage value.
Never store the unit in this condition! The discharged battery
system should be recharged within a week at the latest.
30
When the voltage and frequency are within the tolerance
range once more, the rectifier and the battery charger switch
back on automatically. The rectifier then continues supplying
the inverter and the battery charger takes over charging the
battery.
5.3.3
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. It
protects against total failure of the voltage supply on the
protected busbar, however in the operating status that is now
attained, mains faults would have a direct effect on the load.
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).
Bypass
Line
Inverter
Battery
The bypass is a mechanical link that switches extremely
rapidly. It is located between the load and the mains. The
synchronisation unit ensures that the frequency and phase of
the inverter voltage is synchronised with the mains.
31
The LED bar graph functions as display for UPS
utilisation. The signal goes off during this
operations status every 2 seconds.
i
5.3.4
Unit Overload
The load on the UPS should never exceed the specified rated
load of the unit. If a unit overload occurs nevertheless (from
105% ± 5% of the specified unit rated load) the fault LED is
turned on accompanied with a signal tone (twice per second).
The connected loads continue to be supplied for a certain
time 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. if the
UPS is working in emergency power operation!
As a rule, if there has never been an overload during normal
operation, there will not be one during battery operation
either.
The signalling of the fault LED in combination
with a continuous alarm points out a switching
of fault. Follow the instructions in chapter 6.

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:
Follow safety and security regulations
unconditionally!
7.1
Charging the Battery
The battery is automatically charged when the mains is
present, irrespective of the operating mode. This is signalled
by the "Line" LED lighting up (see also chapter 6).
The complete charging time of the battery after a length
discharge period depends, above all, on the number of
additional external battery units.
Charging time up to 90% of rated capacity
Only with internal UPS battery

7.2.1
Visual Check
When visually checking the unit, check whether:
♦
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.
39
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.
The intervals at which visual checks should be performed are
largely determined by the site conditions.
7.2.2
Checking the Battery
Progressive ageing of the battery system can be detected by
regular capacity checks. Every
6
months, perform
measurements to compare the achievable standby times, e.g.
by simulating a mains failure. In this case, the load should
always have approximately the same capacity demand.
Please contact our hotline if the time drops drastically
compared to the previous measurement (see page 4).
7.2.3
Fan Checking
Regularly check the fans for dust build-up and noticeably
untypical noise development. Clean the intake openings if
they are blocked. Contact our hotline if a fan is running
unusually loud or irregularly (see page 4).

Storage, Dismantling and Disposal
8.1
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.
Batteries that are stored at room temperature should be
recharged every six months to maintain their full capacity and
service life.
Connect PROTECT C. to the mains before
putting it into storage, in order to make sure that
the battery is fully charged. The charging time
should at least match the time specified in
chapter 7.1 Charging the Battery on page 39.
i
8.2
8.3
Dismantling
The system is dismantled in reverse order of the installation
instructions.
Disposal
In the interest of environmental protection and recycling,
please dispose of the individual system components in
accordance with the regulations and legal guidelines when
permanently taking the system out of operation. Please
consider that infringements to these regulations may result in
civil or criminal prosecution.
