installation (for qualified personnel only)

general
s "Comet" cubicles are equipped with 4 wheels for moving over short distances
and with jacks to immobilize the unit. The jacks must be raised prior to repositioning a cubicle; s operating temperature range: 0 to 30C at rated output. Important: s the battery is of the sealed type. Battery storage or prolonged shutdown of Comet should never exceed 3 months at 20C without recharging, for a battery initially at 100% charge. Battery recharge requires system start-up. The battery warranty is void if the 6 month recharge interval is not respected; s battery life is extended when it is installed in a room with an ambient temperature of 15 to 25C. Above 25C, battery life reduced by 50% for every additional 10C; s heat loss resulting from Comet operation must be taken into account when sizing the ventilation system. See the Appendices; s connections are made through the bottom section in the back or the front, depending on the type of Comet; s warning in compliance with EN 50091-2: this product is sold through limited sales channels to installers or well-informed users. Installation restrictions or additional measures may be necessary to prevent electromagnetic disturbances.

installation (cont')
Note: For Comet series 31 15/20kVA and Comet series 33 units, a clearance "e" of 5mm is required to the left of the optional cubicles for door opening. s ensure that clearance L1 to the left of Comet is greater than L for access to the battery cells and L2 greater than 100mm (for ventilation); s ensure that clearance P1 in front of Comet is greater than P for servicing via the front; s connection cables must be of th flexible type and sufficiently long to enable forward movement of Comet without disconnection (allow an extra 1.5 meters); s additional cubicles (extended battery, auxiliaries, etc.) must be placed to the right of Comet. If the above installation conditions are not respected, maintenance and servicing of the unit may require system shutdown.
special precautions
s load cables must be run separately from all other cables (power supply or computer system interconnection cables). They should not pass near interference-emitting equipment or sensitive loads; s if Comet is installed with the "Teleservice" option, a telephone connector and power supply must be provided for the modem used with it.
connections
Connection cables should enter at the bottom:
s in the back for Comet series 11 and series 31 5/7.5/10kVA; s in front for Comet series 31 15/20 kVA and series 33 10/15/20/30kVA.

connection of power cables (figures 10 to 14)

Make sure the unit is powered down and disconnected from all input power before making connections to the terminal blocks at the front or back of the cubicle (depending on the type of Comet). For protection of life and property, earth wires should always be connected first. For Comet 31 series or Comet 33 series devices, the Mains power supply must be with a neutral cable. For Comet 33 series, the neutral may be reconstituted by a complete insulation transformer option (a transformer with a triple-point structure). Neutral system: identical upstream and downstream neutral systems (no galvanic isolation). Comet can be used with all types of neutral systems, on the condition that standard practices be respected. s check that AC input power circuit breaker, installed upstream on the low voltage switchboard, is in off (O) position; s check that the input power switch 1 and the battery circuit breaker 4 are in off (O) position. Connection sequence for 5 kVA Comet: s open the protective cover 44 (secured by 2 screws) and the connection cover panel 13 (secured by 6 screws); s strip the duct of the AC input power and load cables over a length of 7 cm; s strip each wire over a length of 1 cm; s insert the cables of the AC input power and load through the bushings of the connection cover panel; s connect the cables of the AC input power to "Mains 1" XR1 terminal block in the order shown on the label; s connect the load cables to the "load" XR2 terminal block in the order shown on the label; s connect the various options as shown in the relevant section for each one in this manual; s when the cables have been connected, the duct of each cable must be tightened by a binding band against the horizontal binding bar placed beneath the terminal block in order to protect the conductors from tensile loads; s put back the connection cover panel 13 and the protective cover 44 .

battery duration
During an AC input power failure, the duration of inverter operation on battery power depends on: s the rated capacity of the battery; s the power drawn by the load; s the battery temperature; s the age of the battery. The rated backup time corresponds to a minimum for a new battery and with the inverter operating at the rated load. The real backup time, which depends on the power drawn, may be greater if the inverter operates at less than full rated load. It is possible, during operation on battery power, to increase the battery backup time by reducing the power drawn by the load (shedding of non-priority circuits). Comet has a battery monitoring function that calculates the remaining backup time. This function may be implemented with a communications option. A low battery shutdown warning signal is available via the standard communication connector 15 for remote indications. It warns the user of upcoming battery shutdown at a user-determined level of remaining power. On the UPS itself, the buzzer 17 beeps louder and more rapidly, and the orange "battery status" light 20 flashes. The end of battery power occurs when the battery is fully discharged. At this point, the inverter 7 shuts down. The recharge time required to restore the battery to its rated backup power varies between 4 and 16 hours depending on the Comet model.
return of AC input power

When the AC input power failure ends or power returns to within tolerances:
s if the end of battery backup power was not reached, Comet returns to the
operating status described above (figure 19); s if the end of battery backup power was reached, the rectifier 2 , the charger 6 and the inverter 7 automatically start up (the inverter must be manually started if the system is in manual start mode).
6.2
battery monitoring tests
s the battery is periodically checked every month. The message "17" on the
diagnostics display 27 tells the user that the battery is in this operating mode;
s it is recommended to carry out a complete discharge test on the battery once a
year in order to update the battery monitoring parameters. This test is activated by the "battery manual test" control. It calls for a minimum service charge. The message "18" on the diagnostics display 27 tells the user that the battery is in this operating mode. In these operating modes, total battery failure is indicated by the alarm message "15" on the diagnostics display 27 .
overload
(except for 5 kVA Comet S11 or S31)

during a major temporary overload (greater than 1.5In): the load is supplied by AC input power via the "static bypass" 3 , return to the inverter 7 is automatic, following elimination of the overload; the inverter can handle a minor overload for a given duration depending on the size of the overload. See figure 21; s when an overload occurs: s the buzzer 17 sounds, s the orange "fault" light 19 goes on, s the inverter 7 shuts down at the end of its corresponding overload time, s the load is supplied by AC input power via the "static bypass" 3 , s the green "load protected" light 21 goes off, s the red "load not protected" light 18 goes on. If the overload continues during operation via the "static bypass" 3 , the supply of power to the load is interrupted after a specified time. See figure 22. When Comet has shutdown due to an overload, the fault reset button must be pressed prior to return to normal operation. Inverter 7 overload curve

overloads on 5 kVA Comet S11 or S31

For a major temporary overload (greater than 1.5In):
The load is transferred to AC input power via the "static bypass" 3 for 5 seconds. After that time, it is transferred back to the inverter. If the overload persists, this sequence will be repeated 3 times in all before the inverter is shut down and the supply of power to the load interrupted.
For a minor overload:

Minor overloads can be supplied by the inverter for a duration defined in figure 21 for an ambient temperature of less than 30C. Above this temperature, a derating coefficient k must be applied to the rated current and therefore to the overload curve in figure 21: s from 30C to 35C: k = 0.9, s from 35C to 40C: k = 0.85, s above 40C: k = 0.8. Example: an overload current I can be supplied by the inverter for 1 minute under the following conditions: s 1.1 In < I < 1.3 In for an ambient temperature of 25C, s 1.1 x 0.9In < I < 1.3 x 0.9In for an ambient temperature of 32C, s 1.1 x 0.85In < I < 1.3 x 0.85In for an ambient temperature of 37C, s 1.1 x 0.8In < I < 1.3 x 0.8In for an ambient temperature of 42C. When an overload occurs: the buzzer 17 sounds, the orange "fault" light 19 goes on, the inverter 7 shuts down at the end of its corresponding overload time, the load is supplied by AC input power via the "static bypass" 3 , the green "load protected" light 21 goes off, the red "load not protected" light 18 goes on. The load is supplied via the "static bypass" 3 for 5 seconds, after which it is transferred back to the inverter. If the overload persists, the inverter shuts down and the supply of power to the load is interrupted.

maintenance and servicing

Preventative maintenance for the Comet is limited to the strict minimum. However, the list below indicates important procedures to ensure continuous and correct operation.
safety reminder
Danger: high voltages are present in the Comet system. Any servicing requiring removal of the protection covers may be undertaken only by qualified personnel certified by MGE UPS SYSTEMS.
preventive maintenance by user

visual check
s check the installation and operating conditions: s distance from wall, s ventilation inlet and outlet vents free, s operating temperature, particularly for the batteries; s no faults signalled by the lights.
maintenance by the local representative certified by MGE UPS SYSTEMS

Consult the after-sales support department for further information concerning the services presented below requiring special tools, in particular the "Soft Tunor" software.
battery maintenance
Battery status is monitored by Comet. When the orange "operation on battery" light 20 flashes and fault number "12" is indicated on the diagnostics display 27, the battery should be checked. When the red "load not protected" light 18 flashes and fault number "15" is indicated on the diagnostics display 27 , a battery fault is present. To clear these alarms, press the "security" 26 and "fault reset" 25 buttons at the same time. Caution: clearing the alarms in this way disables the battery monitoring and backup time calculation functions (Monitor Plus option); contact the aftersales support department to check the condition of the battery and replace it if necessary. The after-sales support technician will reactivate the battery monitoring and backup time calculation functions.
environmental protection
The battery cells contain substances which are dangerous for the environment. Following replacement, the after-sales support department forwards old batteries to special organizations for recycling and disposal.

emergency off
Installation of an emergency off function must be carried out in compliance with applicable regulations. When an external emergency off function is activated, the AC input to Comet must be cut to ensure protection of life and property. However, this action does not cut the supply of power to the load protected by Comet because the system continues to operate on battery power. To power down the entire installation via an emergency off function, the action must also turn off the following via a single device: s the battery circuit breaker 4 ; s the circuit breaker for the additional battery cabinet(s), if applicable; s and a circuit breaker placed downstream of the UPS, otherwise the UPS output remains live for approximately 3 seconds after the emergency off function has been activated. This requires installation of an MX shunt trip.

selection of cable cross-sections

The cross-section of cables depends on: s current levels (temperature rise); s permissible line voltage drop (3% for AC circuits, 1% for battery circuits); s installation (cable rack, troughs, etc.). Consult the applicable standards to determine the minimum cross-sections for the desired currents. Each of the above parameters, for a given type of Comet, is important in determining the minimum permissible cross-sections. When confronted with several possibilities, always select the larger value. Cables must be flexible type. The currents indicated below are maximum values given for minimum voltages:

Note 1: when a "separate Mains 2" option is installed on Comet series 31 for the AC bypass input, the values in parentheses correspond to Mains 1 line currents and the others to Mains 2 line currents. Note 2: for Comet series 33, during operation on the "static bypass" at rated output for a non-linear load, the values in parentheses correspond to the current in the AC input line neutral.
For connections to the AC input power supply and to the load, Comet terminal blocks accept the following cable cross-sectional areas:

Note: The breaking capacity of the protection devices must be greater than the prospective short-circuit current. Consult the Merlin Gerin Low Voltage Application Guide for further details. Selection of the trip units for the circuit breakers installed upstream of the transformers must take the inrush currents (10 to 14In) into account.

If the configuration includes the "separate Mains 2" option, the protection devices recommended for Mains 1 and Mains 2 are the same as those of circuit breaker CB1 in the table above for Comet series 11 and Comet series 33. For Comet series 31, the recommended protection devices are given in the table below: Schematic diagram for protection devices ("separate Mains 2" option)

connection of the cable shielding
The battery, emergency off and Mains 2 cables of 5 kVA Comet S11 or S31 UPSs must be shielded. This shielding musts be secured to the studs provided on the connection cover panel, on the back of the UPS (see figure 2). Each connection must be made as follows (see figure below): s introduce the cable wires into the cylinder and keep the cable shielding outside the cylinder, s tie the cable shielding to the cylinder, behind its shouldered part, s connect the wires to the corresponding terminal block, s put the connection cover panel back into place and secure it with screws, s tie the cable(s) to the lower angle bracket of the connection cover panel and to the vertical angle bracket of the other connection cover panel with mains 1 cable and the load cable.

glossary
forced shutdown: user-initiated shutdown of the inverter due to incorrect AC input (Mains 1 or Mains 2) characteristics and resulting in a 0.5 second interruption in the supply of power. backup time: the duration over which Comet can supply full rated load without AC input power. This time depends on the battery. battery: a number of electrolytic cells connected together to supply electrical power. The cell electrodes operate in a liquid or gel type electrolyte. "static bypass": power electronics equipment for switching from one power source to another without an interruption in supply. Example: transfer from inverter to bypass line or back. manual bypass: manual switch enabling supply of power to the load directly from AC input power during maintenance or servicing. cubicle: enclosure housing Comet constituent parts (rectifier, charger, inverter, "static bypass", battery, etc.). charger: device supplying the battery with DC power to recharge and/or maintain the battery at the rated charge level. transfer to inverter: load switching from the "static bypass" to the inverter. transfer to bypass: load switching from the inverter to the "static bypass". battery circuit breaker: DC-power circuit breaker that protects the battery circuit (fused switch for 5 kVA Comet S11 or S31). low battery shutdown warning: signal indicating the upcoming end of battery power and the resulting inverter shutdown and interruption in the supply of power to the load. powered down: no power is present on Comet circuits (battery circuit breaker off, upstream circuit breaker off). rated current In: rated current supplied by Comet (power factor 0.8). input power switch: switching device installed at Comet input and enabling rectifier shutdown. forced operation: user-initiated connection of the load to the inverter with a 0.5 second interruption in the supply of power. inverter: module that transforms input DC power into a virtually perfect sine wave (regulated, no-break current). rated output Pn: apparent power Pn supplied by Comet under given load conditions (power factor 0.8). output Pu: apparent power Pu supplied by Comet under given load conditions. It is less than or equal to the rated output Pn. The ratio Pu/Pn defines the Comet load level. rectifier: device drawing from the power required by Comet from the AC input source. The AC input power is transformed (rectified) into DC power. Mains 1 (AC input power): primary source of power for the rectifier and the inverter.
12.1
glossary (cont')
Mains 2 (AC bypass input power): source of power for the load in the event of an inverter shutdown. overload: power drawn by the load in excess of the Comet rated output. LV switchboard: low voltage switchboard upstream from Comet. transfer: load switching from "static bypass" to the inverter or vice versa. load: all devices connected to Comet output terminals. load protected: load is supplied via the inverter, i.e. with battery protection. load not protected: load is supplied via the "static bypass", i.e. without battery protection.
