Introduction Introduction Thank you for selecting this uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Chloride’s ACTIVESeries UPS offers the most reliable protection from the harmful effects of electrical line disturbances for your computing and communications equipment. Chloride’s ISO 9001 certification represents our commitment to building world-class products. We take pride in every unit that leaves our manufacturing facility.
About This Manual This manual contains information regarding the installation, operation and use of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Consult this manual before installation of the equipment, which should be performed only by qualified personnel. This User’s Manual should be kept for later reference for operation and maintenance of the UPS. These instructions may be supplemented with additional sheets, describing specific extensions or options.
Safety Safety Intended Use • This device serves as an uninterruptible power supply for connected loads. The device is in compliance with all relevant safety regulations concerning information technology equipment, for use in an office environment. • Depending on the type and rating of UPS device, certain configurations of battery extensions may be connected. These battery extensions may only be connected to the compatible basic UPS unit.
Safety Battery Safety WARNING: The batteries installed in the UPS and within the battery extensions contain electrolyte. Under normal conditions the containers are dry. A damaged battery may leak electrolyte that can be dangerous in contact with the skin and cause irritation to the eyes. Should this happen wash the affected part with copious amounts of water and seek immediate medical advice. • Voltage is always present on the battery terminals.
Setup Setup Delivery Unpacking The equipment has been thoroughly checked before shipment. Upon receipt, check the packaging and ensure that the contents are undamaged. Any damage must be reported to the shipper and any missing parts must be reported to the supplier immediately. Care should be taken when removing the packaging in order to avoid damaging the equipment. Check all packaging materials to ensure that no items are discarded. Remove the packaging following the sequence illustrated in Figures 1.
Installation Storage If the UPS is to be stored prior to use, it should be stored in a clean, dry environment and away from temperature extremes. It is recommended that the equipment be stored in a temperature controlled, moderate humidity environment. Table 1 below provides the temperature and humidity storage limits: Table 1.
Installation Rack-Mounting the UPS or External Battery Cabinets The UPSs and external battery are designed to be rack-mounted in four-post frames. The UPS and external battery cabinets use identical mounting hardware and the procedure for mounting either is the same. NOTE: The Rack-mount UPS draws cooling air from the front. If the rack has a door on the front, make sure that there is some clearance between the vents and the rack door.
Installation Tower (Floor) Mounting and External Battery Cabinets The UPS and external battery are designed to be floor standing as an alternative to rack mounting. ATTENTION: Use all supplied mounting hardware on each UPS and external battery. Please use only the supplied fasteners to attach the supplied mounting brackets to the UPS or external battery. Each UPS and External Battery Cabinet requires four (4) screws provided.
Installation Cord Retention Bracket (for models with IEC receptacles) UPS models that utilize IEC inlets and receptacles have an included accessory that may be installed to help secure the input and output cords in place. To install the cord retention bracket: 1. Remove the four screws from the right side of the rear of the UPS 2. From the top, open cord retainer. 3. Reinstall screws in the rear of the UPS. 4. Secure each IEC cord using supplied tie wraps.
Theory of Operation 6. Set the circuit breakers on each battery cabinet to “ON” position. Circuit Breaker Fig. 8: Battery Circuit Breaker Power Connections After all external batteries are connected, make the necessary input and output power connections by following the steps below. 1. Connect the input power cord to the AC outlet NOTE: The batteries will immediately begin charging upon availability of input power. 2. Connect the load to the UPS.
Theory of Operation • 110% - 130%: 12 seconds, switches to bypass • >130% - 1.5 seconds, switches to bypass Contact technical service for further details Front Panel Display and Control The front panel display contains a series of switches and indicator LED’s that provide the operator with the current status of the UPS, and the ability to change UPS operational mode. • Main UPS ON/OFF switch • A simplified block diagram of the UPS shows the current operational mode of the UPS (i.e.

Maintenance Maintenance Cleaning Do not use scouring powder or plastic-dissolving solutions to clean the UPS. Do not allow liquid to get inside the UPS. Make sure that the air vents on the UPS are not obstructed. Remove dust from the air vents with a vacuum cleaner. Clean the outside of the UPS housing by wiping with a dry or slightly damp cloth. UPS Storage For extended storage at ambient temperatures < 77°F (25°C), the batteries should be charged for five hours once every four months.
Maintenance The manufacturer’s service center is fully equipped to deal with such batteries, in accordance with the law and with the greatest respect for the environment. Contact Technical Support to arrange for maintenance and/or battery replacement. The typical battery life cycle is 3 to 5 years, at an ambient temperature of 77°F (25°C), however battery life is also dependent on the frequency and duration of mains failures or battery discharge cycles.
Interfaces Battery Disposal The typical battery life cycle is 3 to 5 years, at an ambient temperature of 25 °C, but is also dependent on the frequency and duration of mains failures. Once the battery has reached the end of its useful life, follow the procedure for battery replacement, see “Replacing Batteries” on page 16. After the batteries are replaced, a certified disposal/recycling company should carry out disposal/ recycling of the used batteries.
Interfaces equipment. The interface ports will send On Battery and Low Battery signals to the host computer. The interface ports will also accept a shutdown inverter signal to conserve battery life. USB Port Serial Port fig. 17: UPS Communications Ports Installing MopUPS Express To establish communications between the UPS and a computer: 1. Connect the computer to the UPS communications port using the supplied USB communications cable.
Interfaces 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. The 9-5 contact closes when the mains voltage fails at the UPS input or when the mains voltage falls below the lower limit for a minimum of 10 seconds. This contact opens approximately 850 ms after the mains have been reestablished.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting If problems should occur in spite of the high reliability of this device, please check the following points before contacting Technical Support: • Is the mains voltage present at the UPS input? • Is the input fuse blown or have circuit breakers tripped? When contacting Technical Support, please have the following information ready: • UPS information - model number - part number - serial number as per nameplate • An exact description of the problem (what loads are being oper
