2.2 System Description

The UPS is connected between the public utility's mains and the loads to be protected.

The power section of the rectifier converts the mains voltage to DC voltage for supplying the inverter. The circuit technology used (PFC) enables sinusoidal current consumption and therefore operation with little system disturbance. A separate, second rectifier (charging REC set up using switch mode power supply technology) is responsible for charging or trickle-charging the battery connected in the intermediate circuit. The configuration of this charging REC means the harmonic content of the charging current for the battery is almost zero, so the service life of the battery is increased even more. The inverter is responsible for converting the DC voltage into a sinusoidal output voltage. A microprocessor-controlled control system based on pulse-width modulation (PWM) in conjunction with an extremely quickly pulsating IGBT power semiconductors of the inverter guarantee that the voltage system on the protected busbar is of the highest quality and availability.

In the event of mains faults (e.g. current failures), the voltage continues to be supplied from the inverter to the load without any interruption. From this point onwards, the inverter draws its power from the battery instead of the rectifier. No switching operations are necessary; this means there is no interruption in the supply to the load.

For safety reasons (as required by German standards, VDE), the mains input in the unit will be disconnected by a two-pole switch in the event of a mains failure. Energy backfeed to the mains and voltage supply to the pins of the mains connector are thus reliably avoided.

The automatic bypass serves to increase the reliability of the supply further. It switches the public mains directly through to the load if there is an inverter malfunction. As a result, the automatic bypass represents an extra passive redundancy for the load.

3.2 Safety Instructions for PROTECT C.R

This chapter contains important instructions for the PROTECT C.R UPS and its external battery modules (special accessories). These must be followed during assembly, operation and maintenance of the uninterruptible power supply and the battery systems (internal and, if appropriate, external as well).

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Safety Instructions for PROTECT C.R - 1

The UPS carries high voltage. Danger! The unit may only be opened by trained and qualified personnel. Repairs may only be carried out by qualified customer service staff!

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Safety Instructions for PROTECT C.R - 2

The output may be live, even if the UPS is not connected to the mains, since the UPS has its own internal power supply (battery)!

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Safety Instructions for PROTECT C.R - 3

For health and safety reasons, the unit must be earthed correctly!

PROTECT C.R may only be operated with or connected to a 220 V / 230 V / 240 V mains with protective grounding using a CE marked mains connection cable with PE conductor (included in the delivery) that has been tested in accordance with national standards.

Danger! Risk of burning!

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Danger! Risk of burning! - 1

The battery has powerful short-circuit currents. Incorrect connection or isolation faults can lead to melting of the plug connections, sparking potential and severe burns!

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Danger! Risk of burning! - 2

The unit has a warning signal that sounds when the battery voltage of PROTECT C.R is exhausted or when the UPS is not working in its normal mode (see also chapter 6.1).

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Danger! Risk of burning! - 3

Observe the following safety instructions to ensure permanent operational safety of and safe work with the UPS and the battery modules (special accessories):

Do not dismantle the UPS! (The UPS does not contain any parts that require regular maintenance. Bear in mind that the warranty will be invalidated if the unit is opened!)
- Do not install the unit in direct sunshine or in close proximity of heaters!

  • The unit is designed to be installed inside in heated rooms. Never install the housing in the vicinity of water or in an excessively damp environment!
    ◆ Condensation may occur if the UPS is brought from a cold environment into the room where it is to be installed. The UPS must be absolutely dry prior to start-up. As a result, leave it to acclimatise for at least two hours.
  • Never connect the mains input to the UPS output, and vice versa!
  • Ensure that no fluids or foreign bodies can penetrate the housing!
    Do not block the air vents of the unit! Keep children away from the unit and ensure that objects are never inserted through the air vents!
    Do not connect household appliances such as hairdryers to the UPS! Also take care when working with motor loads. It is essential to avoid back-feeding the inverter, e.g. if the load is intermittently operated in regenerative mode.
  • The mains connection should be near the unit and easily accessible to facilitate disconnecting the AC input or pulling out the plug!
    During operation, do not disconnect the mains connection cable from the UPS or from the socket outlet in the building (shockproof socket), otherwise the protective grounding of the UPS and all the loads connected to it will be cancelled.

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Danger! Risk of burning! - 4

Danger! Electric shocks!

Even after the mains voltage has been disconnected, the components within the UPS remain connected to the battery and can thus cause electric shocks. It is therefore imperative to disconnect the battery circuit before carrying out any maintenance or repair work!

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Danger! Electric shocks! - 1

If it is necessary to replace the battery or carry out maintenance work, this must be done by or under the supervision of a specialist familiar with batteries and the necessary safety precautions!

Only authorised persons are allowed in the vicinity of the batteries!

When replacing the batteries, the following must be observed: Only ever use identical maintenance-free sealed lead batteries with the same data as the original batteries.

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Danger! Electric shocks! - 2

Danger! Explosive!

Never throw batteries into open fire.

Never open or damage batteries. (Electrolyte may leak out and damage skin and eyes. It may be toxic!)

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Danger! Explosive! - 1

Batteries can cause electric shocks and high short-circuit currents.

Take the following safety precautions when working with the batteries:

◆ Take off watches, rings and other metallic objects!
◆ Always use tools with insulated handles!

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Danger! Explosive! - 2

Do not switch loads on and off using the UPS main switch. Do not use multiple outlet adapters with a central on/off switch, in order to avoid peak inrush currents.

Switch OFF the UPS using its main switch “OFF” if you do not intend to use it for some time. PROTECT C.R must be switched off every evening if the electricity supply in your company is switched off every night. Otherwise, the battery will be discharged (assumed power failure). Frequent and complete discharging of the battery leads to a shorter service life of the battery and should therefore be avoided!

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Danger! Explosive! - 3

For personal safety reasons, never switch on the main switch when the mains connector of PROTECT C.R is disconnected!

5 Commissioning

5.1 Mechanical Set-Up

Note the following points when setting up the UPS system and its external battery units (special accessories):

Make sure the rack is able to support the weight. This is particularly important in conjunction with external battery units (special accessories).
◆ Install the units so that adequate air circulation is assured. There must be at least 100 mm clearance at the back for ventilation purposes. Do not block the intake openings on the front and, if present, on the side of the unit. There must be a gap of at least 50 mm here.
- Avoid extreme temperatures! We recommend an ambient temperature of 15 °C to 25 °C in order to maximise the service life of the batteries. Do not expose the units to direct sunlight or operate them close to other heat sources such as radiators.
- Protect the units against external effects (in particular moisture and dust). In this regard, please also refer to the instructions in chapter 4.2, page 9 in these operating instructions.

If you transport the unit from a cold room into a warm one, or if the room temperature suddenly drops then condensation may form inside the unit. To avoid any damage due to condensation, leave the unit to acclimatise for 2 hours before you switch it on.

5.1.1 Set-Up in a 19 " Rack

PROTECT C. 1000 R (S), C. 2000 R (S), C. 3000 R (S) and C. 6000 R are to be installed in a 19"-Rack. Mount the units preferable in the lower third of your rack considering the centre of gravity of the rack and an adequate air circulation. You will receive adequate rack rails at your specialist dealer.

5.2 External Battery Expansions

PROTECT C. 2000 R, C. 3000 R and C. 6000 R require at least one external battery module for accurate operation. To achieve longer backup time, it is possible to connect multi-battery packs. Connect exclusively the following products together:

To connect additional battery modules follow the procedure explained above.

5.2.1 Electrical Start-Up

  1. Verify that UPS voltage of your country corresponds to your equipment voltage. The default setting is set to 230 V. Output voltage on the UPS system can be adjusted with the software "CompuWatch" in steps of 220, 230 and 240 Vac.

Turn on the PROTECT C.R to the mains

To guarantee an accurate function of your UPS and all additional devices, the mains have to be provides with the corresponding protection. Connect the models PROTECT C. 1000 R (S), C. 2000 R (S) and C. 3000 R (S) with the

provided mains connection cable to a customary shockproof socket. Make sure that the dimension of the circuit breaker is sufficient. Especially the PROTECT C. 3000 R (S) needs a circuit breaker with 16A.

The PROTECT C. 6000 R is connected directly with the modules via the terminal block. The cable diameter of each conductor is 6 mm^2 . The circuit breaker has to have the dimension of 32 A.

After connecting the unit to the mains, connect the outputs of your UPS to your loads. Use the load connection cables provided for this. Don't switch on the loads yet. Please contact your dealer if you require additional load connection cables.

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Turn on the PROTECT C.R to the mains - 1

If you are using combined rack (circuit with mains and UPS-power) mark each circuit with the corresponding supply (mains or UPS).

The output of PROTECT C. 6000 R should supply additional separated circuits. Make sure that circuit protection is set up selectively. The cables for the connection between PROTECT C. 6000 R and the sub distribution must have a diameter of 6 mm^2 . Please note the following information in the sub distribution.

♦ Maximal allowed total load
♦ Maximal allowed load for each loads output

  1. Activate the mains input circuit breaker. If necessary switch it to "ON".

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Turn on the PROTECT C.R to the mains - 2

Default setting for PROTECT C. 1000 R (S), C.2000R(S) and C.3000R(S): No automatic supply for load over integrated bypass after executing step 1 and 2 (Modification of the configuration with the provided Software "CompuWatch").

  1. Now switch on the UPS. To do this, press and hold the UPS ON switch for about 2 seconds.

  2. When being powered on, the UPS will perform self-diagnosis, the Load/Battery level LEDs will be turned on and then off one after another in ascending order. After synchronising the inverter successfully the LED "UPS ON" will go on after some seconds, with the UPS in normal mode. If the power supply is in order (mains within the range) an additionally LED "AC INPUT" will go on. If this LED is flashing, the phase and neutral of the UPS are exchanged. In this case turn the mains connector 180° in the shockproof socket (C. 1000 R (S), C. 2000 R (S) and C. 3000 R (S)), respectively correct the wiring (C. 6000 R).

Once you have connected the UPS to a suitable mains connection, you can start operation using the UPS main switch (see also "Electrical Start-Up" on page 29). Normally, the UPS operates continuously. The UPS now supplies the output with voltage, this being signalled by the symbols mains (LED AC INPUT) and rectifier (LED UPS ON) symbols which light up permanently.

This is often referred to as “online” mode. It offers the greatest protection, in particular when there are mains fluctuations and mains failures, because the loads are supplied continuously with voltage with no interruptions in this operating mode.

The LED bargraph (LED chain on the left hand side of the ON / OFF button) show during operation the actual utilization of the UPS (s. page 38).

Power circuit with faulty mains supply

The mains is not within the required tolerance range or has failed. In this case power is supplied to the inverter from the charged battery without interruption. The power supply to the loads is therefore also ensured in the event of a mains failure. This drains the capacity of the battery and it is discharged. This status is signalled by the battery symbol (LED BATTERY) lighting up, as well as an intermittent acoustic signal every 4 seconds and every second before switching off. This can be suppressed by pressing the “ALARM OFF” button. With decreasing battery capacity the alarm is activated automatically. Depending on the expansion level, age and condition of the battery and in particular on the load to be supplied, the standby time can vary from a few minutes to several hours.

The LED bargraph (LED chain on the left hand side of the ON / OFF button) show during operation the actual utilization of the UPS (s. page 38 ff).

The inverter is switched off if the battery voltage drops below a factory-set minimum voltage value.

Never store the unit in this condition! The discharged battery system should be recharged within a week at the latest.

When the voltage and frequency are within the tolerance range once more, the rectifier and the battery charger switch back on automatically. The rectifier then continues supplying the inverter and the battery charger takes over charging the battery.

5.3.3 Bypass Operation

If the inverter is overloaded or if overtemperature is detected, e.g. also if an inverter defect is detected, voltage is supplied to the load via the bypass that switches on automatically. This is signalled by the LED BYPASS symbol.

Power circuit with faulty INV

This function is also referred to as passive redundancy. It protects against total failure of the voltage supply on the protected busbar, however in the operating status that is now attained, mains faults would have a direct effect on the load.

As a result, the electronics continuously attempt to switch back to "online" / normal operating status (e.g. when the overload or overtemperature no longer applies).

The bypass is a link that switches extremely rapidly. It is located between the load and the mains. The associated synchronisation unit in the bypass ensures that the frequency and phase of the inverter voltage is synchronised with the mains.

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Bypass Operation - 2

The LED bar graph functions as display for USP utilisation. The signal goes off during this operations status every 2 seconds.

5.3.4 Unit overload

The load on the UPS should never exceed the specified rated load of the unit. If a unit overload occurs nevertheless the fault LED is turned on accompanied with a signal tone (twice per second). The connected loads continue to be supplied for a certain time depending on the level of the overload. However, the connected load must be reduced without delay.

Non-observance of the "Unit overload" condition may cause the total loss of all UPS functions!

Also avoid short-term unit overloads, which may, for example, occur when connecting a laser printer or laser fax machine. Do not connect any household appliances or machine tools to the UPS.

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Unit overload - 1

Never connect or switch on any additional loads to the UPS if there is a mains failure, i.e. if the UPS is working in emergency power operation!

As a rule, if there has never been an overload during normal operation, there will not be one during battery operation either.

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Unit overload - 2

The signalling of the red fault LED (ALARM) in combination with a continuous alarm points out a switching of fault. Follow the instructions in chapter 6.

5.4 Interfaces and communication

5.4.1 Data line protection RJ11 and RJ45

The incoming data lines are connected to the "IN" line at the rear of the UPS. The "OUT" line is connected via data line with your terminal.

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Data line protection RJ11 and RJ45 - 1

7 Maintenance

The PROTECT C.R consists of advanced and resistant components. To guarantee a continuous and high availability it is recommended to check the unit (especially the batteries and the fans) in regular intervals (at least every 6 months).

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Maintenance - 1

CAUTION:

Follow safety and security regulations unconditionally!

7.1 Charging the Battery

The battery is automatically charged when the mains is present, irrespective of the operating mode.

The complete charging time of the battery after a length discharge period depends, above all, on the number of additional external battery units.

Charging time up to 90% of rated capacity

TaskIntervalDescribed
Visual check 6 monthsChapter 7.2.1
Battery / fan check6 monthsChapters 7.2.2 / 7.2.3

7.2.1 Visual Check

When visually checking the unit, check whether:

◆ there is any mechanical damage or foreign bodies can be found in the system,
◆ any conductive dirt or dust has accumulated in the unit,
◆ accumulation of dust affects heat supply and dissipation.

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Visual Check - 1

CAUTION:

PROTECT C.R must be disconnected from the power supply prior to carrying out the following work.

If large quantities of dust have accumulated, the unit should, as a precaution, be cleaned with dry compressed air, in order to ensure adequate heat dissipation.

The intervals at which visual checks should be performed are largely determined by the site conditions.

7.2.2 Checking the Battery

Progressive ageing of the battery system can be detected by regular capacity checks. Every 6 months, perform measurements to compare the achievable standby times, e.g. by simulating a mains failure. In this case, the load should always have approximately the same capacity demand. Please contact our hotline if the time drops drastically compared to the previous measurement (see page 4).

7.2.3 Fan Checking

Regularly check the fans for dust build-up and noticeably untypical noise development. Clean the intake openings if they are blocked. Contact our hotline if a fan is running unusually loud or irregularly (see page 4).

8 Storage, Dismantling and Disposal

8.1 Storage

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Storage - 1

Long storage times without charging or discharging the battery at regular intervals may lead to permanent damage of the battery.

If the battery is stored at room temperature (20°C to 30°C) it will automatically discharge at a rate of 3 - 6% per month due to internal reactions. Storing the battery at temperatures above room temperature should be avoided. A high storage temperature also means greater battery self-discharge.

Batteries that are stored at room temperature should be recharged every six months to maintain their full capacity and service life.

AEG Protect C. R. 1000 VA - Storage - 2
