Operation Modes In an installation that does not include a maintenance bypass panel, the UPS has three operation modes: normal operation, battery operation and static bypass operation. If the installation includes a PDU, a PDU-XR, or an external maintenance bypass panel, the mode maintenance bypass operation also becomes available. Normal Operation During normal operation, the UPS converts the utility/mains supply to conditioned power for the connected load.

Maintenance Life Cycle Monitoring (LCM) The Life Cycle Monitoring (LCM) function provides UPS maintenance advice to guarantee installation availability for the user. The display gives three messages enabling the following to be identified.
To return a failed module to Schneider Electric, pack the module in the original shipping materials, and return it by insured, prepaid carrier. The Schneider Electric Customer Support representative will provide the destination address. If you no longer have the original shipping materials, ask the representative about obtaining a new set. Pack the module properly to avoid damage in transit.
Replacement Parts WARNING: All safety instructions in the Safety sheet (990-2984) should be read, understood, and followed prior to handling the system. Failure to do so could result in equipment damage, serious injury, or death. WARNING: Only trained persons familiar with the construction and operation of the equipment, as well as the electrical and mechanical hazards involved, may install and remove system components. Note: A maximum of two SmartSlots can be used.
Replace a Power Module WARNING: Before removing any power modules, make sure that the remaining power modules can support the load. WARNING: Two people are needed to lift components weighing between 18–32 kg (40–70 lbs). 1. Turn the locking latch until the arrow points downwards. 2. Unscrew the spring-activated knobs on both sides of the module. 3. Pull the module up and out of the enclosure as far as the lock mechanism will allow. 4.
Replace a Battery WARNING: Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions. Caution: When replacing batteries, replace with same type and number of batteries or battery packs. Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of the batteries according to the instructions. Caution: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode. Caution: Do not open or mutilate batteries.
Storage of the battery modules: The battery modules must be stored indoors and with their protective packaging still in place.
Note: When replacing batteries, always replace both batteries A+B or C+D (see illustration above) as they are interconnected in pairs. For four batteries in a row it is recommended to replace all four at the same time to ensure optimal run-time (Example 1). The batteries can also be replaced in twos, but always A+B (Example 2) or C+D (Example 3). For two batteries in a row, always replace both batteries at the same time (Example 4).
Replace a Power Distribution Module Note: The load that is connected to the actual power distribution module will not be supported when the locking latch on the module is opened. 1. Switch the breakers to the OFF position. 2. Disconnect the power cable from the power distribution module’s extension cable or Rack-Mount PDU. 3. Open the locking latch on the module and gently pull the module out of the enclosure. 4. Take the replacement power distribution module and open the locking latch.
Troubleshooting WARNING: Only trained persons familiar with the construction and operation of the equipment, as well as the electrical and mechanical hazards involved, may install and remove system components. Status and Alarm Messages This section lists the status and alarm messages that the UPS might display. The messages are listed in alphabetical order, and a suggested corrective action is listed with each alarm message to help you troubleshoot problems.
Display Message Meaning Corrective Action Extended Run Frame Fault One of the battery enclosures has failed. Contact Schneider Electric Customer Support (see the back cover). External DC Disconnect Switch Open The external DC DISCONNECT switch tripped. Battery power is not available or the runtime is lower than expected. Close the external DC DISCONNECT switch. If the problem continues, call Schneider ElectricCustomer Support.
Display Message Meaning Corrective Action No Power Modules Detected No power modules are available. Option 1: Ensure that the power modules are properly installed, the two fastening screws are tight, and the locking latch is engaged. Option 2: Check for other communication alarm messages in the log. Not Synchronized Fault System cannot synchronize to AC line and bypass mode may not be available. Option 1: Decrease the sensitivity to input frequency.
Display Message Meaning Corrective Action Static Bypass Switch Module Removed The system no longer detects a static bypass switch module. Option 1: Ensure that the static bypass switch module is installed properly. Option 2: Call Schneider Electric Customer Support for replacement of the static bypass switch module. System in Maintenance Bypass The system is in maintenance bypass: the Q2 breaker is open and the Q3 breaker is closed. No corrective action necessary.
Modular Distribution Fault List The display interface will identify the number of the power distribution modules that has caused an alarm or warning. Display Message Meaning Corrective Action High Module Current Alarm The threshold of the high module current has been exceeded. Evaluate the threshold setting. If necessary, adjust it for your situation. High Subfeed Current Alarm The threshold of the high subfeed current has been exceeded. Evaluate the threshold setting.
PDU Fault List Display Message Meaning Corrective Action System In Maintenance Bypass The system is in maintenance bypass: the Q2 switch is open and the Q3 switch is closed. No corrective action necessary. Min Output Voltage Alarm Phase-to-neutral output voltage for phase has dropped below the configured limit. Evaluate the threshold setting. If necessary, adjust it for your situation. Max Output Voltage Alarm Phase-to-neutral output voltage for phase exceeded the configured limit.
