® 1. Foreword 1.1 Overview Congratulations for having bought a LEGRAND® UPS Archimod® product. Thanks to UPS Archimod® unit your critical equipment will always be protected by a constant and reliable supply of power. LEGRAND® is based in Italy and specializes in designing and producing UPS units. The UPS Archimod® system is unique in its kind, modular, redundant and the last generation of medium power UPS units.
Any other use or configuration must be agreed on beforehand with the Manufacturer in writing and, in such a case, will be an enclosure to the manual. For its use the user must also comply with the specific laws on work that exist in the country where the equipment is installed. Reference is also made in this manual to laws, directives, etc., that the user must know and consult in order to fulfil the purposes established by the manual. 1.
® 1. Foreword When the equipment is sold to a third party this manual has to go with it; if the manual is not given to the new user then all purchaser rights are automatically invalidated, including guarantee terms where applicable. If the equipment is sold to a thirty party in a country of a different language it is the responsibility of the original user to provide a true translation of this manual in the language of the country where the equipment is going to be used. 1.7.
2. Configuration and Start-up WARNING The instructions given in this chapter are not for an ordinary operator but for a specialized, authorised technician only if he is using the Individual Protective Gear specified in chapter 4. As illustrated in the previous chapter the default configuration for the Archimod® UPS units entails a THREE-PHASE INPUT and a THREE-PHASE OUTPUT. If this type of connection is used, the equipment requires no additional configuration as it has already been set in the factory.
® 2. Configuration and Start-up WARNING This is because these screws act on a safety micro switch that controls shutting down of the power modules if an attempt is made to extract them without using the Hot Swap function.
3. Technical description 3.1 Archimod® Technology Congratulations on your purchase of a UPS Archimod® product froLEGRAND®. Thanks to the UPS Archimod® your critical equipment will be always protected by a constant and reliable supply of power.
® 3. Technical description Battery box The battery modules are designed for easy insertion in the cabinet with no work needed to connect them; they are easy to handle thanks to their light weight, likewise any maintenance or replacing. A box holds 7 12V, 7.2 Ah or 9 Ah batteries connected in series and, thanks to the Plug & Play connection can be easily pulled out or put inside the cabinet.

5. Unpacking 5.1 Visual Inspection When the UPS is delivered, examine the packaging and product carefully to see if any damage was done during transport. In particular check the integrity of the indicators on the external “Shock Watch” labels. If either possible or ascertained damage is found report it immediately to: - the carrier; - the LEGRAND® Technical Assistance Centre. Make sure that the unit received corresponds to the material specified on the delivery document.
® 5. Unpacking 5.3 Positioning and unpacking To position and unpack the UPS please follow this procedure: 1. Take the UPS to the place of installation with a forklift truck and/or a transpallet of a suitable capacity and type; 2. Remove the film and cardboard protecting the UPS; 3. Lower the 4 adjustable feet under the UPS base until the 2 side L-shaped supports are slightly raised, including the wood fixed to them; 4.
5.5 Handling Handle with great care, lift it only to the extent necessary, keep it well balanced and avoid swinging which could be dangerous. Do not forget that the equipment must always be handled by trained personnel, equipped with the Individual Protective Gear as specified in Chapter 4. If the equipment needs to be lifted, use a forklift truck or transpallet of a suitable capacity, inserting the forks in the base, making sure they come through on the opposite side by at least twenty centimetres.

® 9. Maintenance WARNING The instructions given in this chapter are not addressed to a normal operator but to a specialised technician, authorised to work only if he uses the Individual Protective Gear mentioned in Chapter 4. 9.1 Introduction This chapter contains all the information necessary for a correct maintenance of the UPS Archimod® unit. All the operations described in this section must be carried out by authorised technicians or qualified personnel.
Example: in a 60kVA Archimod® where there are 3 controls and 9 power modules, to replace the module in the PM1 position, modules PM0, PM1 and PM2 will be turned off by means of control number 1 (the first from the top). During the Hot-Swap we will not have 20kVA of power which means that the maximum applicable load, so as not to overload the UPS, is 40kVA. ATTENTION Hot-Swap replacing of power modules or adding new modules is not available for Archimod® 20kVA.
® 9. Maintenance 9.5 Maintenance procedure of the ups in the manual bypass mode. If the Hot-Swap replacement procedure of the power modules is not applicable (paragraph 9.4), the modules can still be replaced by putting the UPS in maintenance bypass. This mode is also necessary if ever it is requested to service or replace parts such as the control boards, backplane, upgrading the UPS firmware, etc. ATTENTION When working in the forced bypass and maintenance mode the load is not protected. 9.5.
The procedure described needs no further manual settings via the operator panel; the UPS automatically recognises the new power module and reconfigures automatically. As far as identification of the modules is concerned, bear in mind that the first module at the top left is always identified with zero. The adjacent module is, therefore, number 1 and the others follow in sequence. 9.5.
® 9. Maintenance 9.6.2 Installing/replacing battery boxes with the UPS in the maintenance bypass mode This procedure is valid for all Archimod® UPS and Archimod® BATTERY models. ATTENTION the load is powered directly by the mains input when in the maintenance bypass mode. 1. To put the UPS in the maintenance bypass mode, proceed with steps 1 to 8 described in paragraph 9.5.1. 2. Ensure that the UPS is not running on battery and that the battery charger is either in the maintenance or standby status; 3.
10. Dismantling ATTENTION The instructions in this chapter are to be considered indicative. Please refer to the laws in the country where the unit is used. 10.1 Disposing of the batteries At the end of their life, the batteries must be disposed of in a place set aside for the collection of such waste. Since batteries are toxic waste it is not allowed to dispose of them like traditional waste. For the correct procedure please contact the relevant Authorities in your area. 10.
® 11. Tables Attention the type and cross section of the connecting cables must be chosen according to their operating current and laying must be as established by existing laws; this is the responsibility of the installer. The UPS input current and output power are given in paragraph 2.4 and the battery current in Table 7.
