UB10.242
U–Series
24V, 10A, DC-UPS
Oct. 2009 / Rev. 1.0 DS-UB10.242-EN
All parameters are specified at an input voltage of 24V, 10A output load, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time
unless otherwise noted. It is assumed that the input power source can deliver a sufficient output current.

28.3. USING THE INHIBIT INPUT
The inhibit input disables buffering. In normal mode, a static signal is required. In buffer mode, a pulse with a
minimum length of 250ms is required to stop buffering. The inhibit is stored and can be reset by cycling the input
voltage.
As long as the inhibit signal is active in normal mode, an internal relay contact will be opened and the battery will
not longer be charged.
For service purposes, the inhibit input can also be used to connect a service switch. Therefore, the inhibit signal can
be supplied from the output of the DC-UPS.

28.4. TROUBLESHOOTING
The LEDs on the front of the unit and relay contacts indicate about the actual or elapsed status of the DC-UPS. Please
see also chapter 15.
The following guidelines provide instructions for fixing the most common failures and problems. Always start with
the most likely and easiest-to-check condition. Some of the suggestions may require special safety precautions. See
notes in section 26 first.
“Check wiring” LED is on Check correct wiring between the battery and the DC-UPS
Check battery fuse. Is the battery fuse inserted or blown?
Check battery voltage (must be typically between 7.4V and 15.1V)
Check input voltage (must be typically between 22.8V and 30V)
Check battery polarity
DC-UPS did not buffer Inhibit input was set
Battery did not have enough time to be charged and is still below the deep discharge
protection limit.
DC-UPS stopped buffering Deep discharge protection stopped buffering Æ use a larger battery, or allow
sufficient time for charging the battery
Output was overloaded or short circuit Æ reduce load
Output has shut down Cycle the input power to reset the DC-UPS
Let DC-UPS cool down, over temperature protection might have triggered.
DC-UPS constantly switches between normal mode and buffer mode
The supplying source on the input is too small and can not deliver sufficient current
Æ Use a larger power supply or reduce the output load
