The UPS described here is an on-line dual conversion type UPS, with automatic by-pass in compliance with
European standard EN62040-1-2. This UPS performs the dual conversion of the incoming voltage
continuously and without interruption.
The absence of direct connection between mains and load eliminates the possibility of carrying disturbances
from mains to the load. The dual conversion technique guarantees to the load delivering energy regulated both
in voltage and frequency - thus ideal for the operation of professional applications.
When the input voltage exceeds the allowed range or - more simply - is not present, the load is supplied by
energy transferred from the batteries.
The system is supplied with an automatic by-pass; in the event of the UPS fault or overload the by-pass
connects the load directly to the mains via a reserve line, making possible maintaining normal load operation
without supply interruptions. See the fig. 1.3.1
Powertronix spa reserves the right to modify this document without notice
From the input bars the mains voltage is connected through the MAINS INPUT l1 switch to the power module.
The PFC controlled by the control logic, performs the AC/DC conversion of the mains voltage (during normal
operating conditions) or the DC/DC conversion of the battery energy when the mains power is absent or not
within the allowed range.
The DC voltage from the converter powers the inverter module, which creates AC voltage, adjusting the
current depending on the load needs.
The last module is the automatic by-pass. It transfers the filtered and regenerated energy from the inverter
module to the load during normal operating conditions, or - when UPS fault or overload occurs - from reserve
line, still providing the energy to the load. When disappears the cause which forced UPS to switching to the
reserve line, the by-pass automatically switches the load to the inverter power source.
The filtered, regenerated and stabilized mains voltage supplies the load through the UPS OUTPUT (l4) switch.
The control logic occupies the separate board (CS0170) and represents the “intelligence” of the UPS.
It manages operations of the PFC, inverter and by-pass, based on feedback signals taken from the power
module. The control logic also manages the other three boards: the battery charger, auxiliary power supply
and signal interface.
The battery charger handles recharging of the outside batteries connected to the UPS.
The signal interface receives the signals from the control logic and converts them into the protocol required
by the front panel of the UPS and also the relays board. Going backwards, the selected commands from the
front panel (automatic by-pass forcing) and/or relay board (EPO) are sent from the signal interface to the
control logic which interprets them and performs desired operation – like switch on/off inverter or shut down
the unit.
The signal interface, except controlling standard relays board, can also control another (optional) one.
The auxiliary power supply supplies all the boards and electronic components in the UPS.
1.3.4 BATTERIES
The battery set provides energy to the system when the input mains is out of the allowed range or not present;
in all other cases batteries are constantly recharged by the charger module. In this way the batteries are
always ready for use when required.

The manual by-pass is useful in the situations, when it is necessary to disable the UPS and keep the load
supplied by the mains (i.e.: UPS stopped, fault, etc.). can be activated with using the MANUAL BY-PASS (l3)
switch, located in the front part of the UPS (refer to chapter 4.7). In normal operating conditions this circuit
breaker remains in rest position, protected with the mechanical lock (the padlock).
The UPS can be managed via the front panel. Using the panel it is possible to execute the commands, display
states and measurements and reset the alarm circuits.
The panel is equipped with an LCD screen used to display the operating status of the UPS, the load and all
types of measurement (see chapter 3)

In the event of a UPS fault, the default screen will be replaced by one of the alarm messages shown
in the table below:
When an UPS experiences the fault which cannot be resolved and it is not able to guarantee uninterrupted
power to the load, perform an EMERGENCY BY-PASS and then leave the machine isolated and off.
Call the technical assistance.
Powertronix spa reserves the right to modify this document without notice
In the almost impossible case of fire, remember to only use CO2 or powder extinguishers. Always activate
the emergency BY-PASS and completely shut off the machine, disconnecting the battery panel as well.
Many times normal UPS reactions to the non-standard load or installation environment are incorrectly
recognized by the users as the UPS faults.
The most common situations are described below:
• The UPS is left with load supplied by the reserve line even if the inverter section is operating correctly:
this may occur on excessive absorbed peak current. It causes the major drop-down voltage, which –
if is repetitive - leads to the switching load to the reserve line.
The system, after three failed attempts to switch and return to the inverter, blocks the static switch on
the reserve line to protect the inverter, therefore it is necessary to study the load current and eliminate
the causes of the overcurrents.
The repetitive peak current should not exceed 2.5 times the effective value.
• The accuracy of the UPS output voltage is not optimal: this may depend on an excessively unbalanced
