2 General Information

The PROTECT B.PRO is an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) for important electrical loads such as personal computers, workstations, servers, network components, telecommunication equipment and similar electrical loads.

The PROTECT B. PRO series is a compact, interactive, sinusoidal-type UPS available with output power ratings of 750, 1000, 1400, 1800, 2300 and 3000 VA.

The UPS was designed for either horizontal/lying operation (rack/19" with two U), or vertical/upright operation (tower).

2.1 Brief overview

The front of the UPS features the liquid crystal display and four push buttons, enabling easy configuration, monitoring and control and which display the AC mains status, information on mains faults and the output status of the UPS. Two bar displays for load and battery capacity indication, various status displays (including mains/battery mode, for example) and for alarm activation in case of mains failure, overload, output-side short-circuit, discharged battery or a faulty battery system provide considerable insight into the current operating situation. Numerous measured values which can be shown on the display of the UPS regarding the input/output, the battery and the connected load provide further detailed information if needed. Precise display of the remaining operating time based on the current connected load facilitates controlled shutdown in battery mode.

The back of the PROTECT B. PRO features the mains connections, communication interfaces and connections for data cable overvoltage protection. Manageable output sockets make targeted load segmentation possible. Important UPS data are monitored continuously and transferred to the computer using the USB or RS232 interface and the CompuWatch software. With the optional SNMP adapter, remote monitoring via an SNMP connection and multiserver shutdowns are possible.

Features of the PROTECT B.PRO:

• VI (line-interactive) protection technology with sinusoidal output voltage
• Microprocessor control for high reliability and optimum control behaviour
  • Overload, short-circuit proof
• Operator-friendly LCD (liquid crystal display) for easier readability/ configuration
• State-of-the-art battery management with temperature-compensated charging characteristics and integrated protection against deep discharging and overcharging
• Maintenance-free, sealed lead-acid battery system, hot-swappable
• Emergency Power Off contact for the immediate electronic switch-off of connected electrical loads
• Separate, manageable output circuit with IEC sockets for load segmentation
• Intelligent monitoring system with USB and RS232 interfaces; expansion slot for expansion cards, e.g. SNMP, can be used at the same time
• CompuWatch software for shutdown, status indications and measured values for all common operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux etc.)
• Compact construction/versatile in use thanks to its combination tower/rack design with rotating liquid crystal display

2.2 System description

The UPS is connected to a safety socket between the public mains and the electrical loads to be protected. During normal operating conditions when the PROTECT B.PRO is being supplied with mains voltage, the battery charge rectifier keeps the battery fully charged.

Electrical loads connected to the PROTECT B.PRO are supplied with power via mains filters in this operating condition. These filters provide effective protection against mains overvoltage spikes and high-frequency interference.

Under continuous mains undervoltage or overvoltage within defined ranges, the automatic voltage regulation (AVR) provides additional stabilisation of the electrical load voltage. Voltage fluctuations of the public mains are thus damped to a level acceptable for the electrical loads. This occurs without accessing the internal power reserves, which in turn has a positive effect on battery availability.

Block diagram of UPS PROTECT B. PRO

If a mains failure occurs, the switch device is activated. At this point, the inverter takes over the supply of power to the connected electrical loads to avoid the risk of data loss or electrical load damage. The PROTECT B.PRO continues to provide power until the battery is discharged or until your IT system is properly shut down and switched off.

This autonomy time is largely dependent on the connected electrical load value. When the mains supply exhibits normal values again, the UPS switches the electrical load back to the mains. The battery charge rectifier then recharges the battery.

If a mains failure occurs, the mains input into the device is disconnected via both poles for safety reasons (VDE, German Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies). This securely prevents feeding back into the mains and live voltage on the poles of the power plug.

Additional measures also ensure effective protection of the data/network interface.

3 Safety Regulations

3.1 General safety precautions

Read these operating instructions before commissioning the USV PROTECT B.PRO for the first time and comply with the safety precautions!

The device may only be used in technically fault-free condition, as intended and in a safety-conscious manner in compliance with the operating instructions! Eliminate malfunctions immediately if they could potentially compromise safety.

The following pictograms for danger and important information are used in these instructions:

Danger!

In case of danger to life and limb of the operator.

Attention!

In case of risk of injury or danger to the device and device parts.

Information!

Useful and important information on the operation of the UPS.

3.2 Safety precautions for PROTECT B.PRO

This chapter contains important instructions for the UPS PROTECT B. PRO which must be followed during installation, operation and servicing of the uninterruptible power supply and the batteries.

The UPS is energised with voltage which is potentially dangerous. The device may only be opened by trained professional personnel. Repairs may only be made by qualified customer service employees!

The output can be energised even if the UPS is not connected to the mains supply, as the UPS has its own internal power supply (battery)!

For reasons of personal protection, the device must be properly earthed!

The PROTECT B.PRO may only be connected to 220/230/240 V AC mains with protective earthing with a VDE-tested mains connection cable with protective earthing conductor (included in the scope of supply).

Risk of burns!

The battery exhibits high short-circuit currents. Incorrect connection or errors made while disconnecting can cause the melting of plug connections, flying sparks and severe burns!

The device is equipped with a warning signal that is emitted if the battery power of the PROTECT B. PRO has run out or if the UPS is not operating in its normal condition.

For continuous operating safety and safe working with the UPS, heed the following safety precautions:

• Do not take the UPS apart!
  (The UPS does not contain any parts which require regular servicing. If you open the device, the warranty will become null and void!)
• Do not set up the device in direct sunlight or near heat sources!
• The device was intended to be set up in heated indoor rooms. Do not set up the UPS near water or in overly humid environments!

- If the UPS is brought from a cold environment into the room where it will be set up, condensation may occur. In such cases, allow the device to acclimatise for at least 2 hours.

The UPS must be completely dry before it may be commissioned.

- Never connect the mains input and UPS output to one another!

- Ensure that liquids or foreign bodies do not end up in the UPS!

- Do not block the ventilation openings of the device! Ensure that children do not insert objects into the ventilation openings!

- Do not connect household appliances, such as hair driers, to the UPS! Also use caution when operating with loads involving motors. Feeding back into the inverter, e.g. due to brief generator operation of the load, must absolutely be avoided.

- The mains connection should be located near the device and easily accessible so as to make disconnection of the AC input or of the plug easier!

- Do not unplug the mains connection cable from the UPS or the building installation socket (safety socket) during operation, as the protective earthing of the UPS and all connected electrical loads will be nullified.

Risk of electric shock!

The components inside the UPS are still connected to the battery even after the mains voltage is disconnected and can therefore cause electric shocks. For this reason, the battery circuit must absolutely be broken before service or maintenance work may be carried out!

Battery replacement and service must be carried out, or at least monitored, by a professional who has experience with batteries and the required precautionary measures!

Keep unauthorised persons away from the batteries!

When replacing the batteries, heed the following:

Use only identical, maintenance-free, closed lead batteries with the same specifications as the original batteries. Pre-wired replacement battery kits which are ready for connection are available at your specialist dealer.

Risk of explosion!

Do not throw batteries into an open fire. Do not open or damage batteries (released electrolyte can damage skin and eyes and can be poisonous!)

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

For this reason, implement the following precautionary measures when working with batteries:

• Remove watches, rings and any other metal objects!
• Use only tools with insulated handles!

To avoid switch-on current spikes, do not use connecting blocks with central on/off switches.

Switch the UPS "OFF" if it will not be used for a longer period of time. If the mains at your company's facility are switched off every night, the PROTECT B. PRO must be switched off every evening. Otherwise, the battery will discharge. Frequently occurring full discharging of the battery should be avoided to extend its service life!

For your personal safety, never switch the UPS on if the mains plug of the PROTECT B. PRO is unplugged!

The PROTECT B. PRO was designed to be set up in a protected environment. When setting up the device, take factors such as sufficient ventilation and appropriate ambient conditions into consideration.

• The installation site must be sufficiently strong and stable to avoid vibrations and impacts.
• Ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity, especially when used together with external battery units (special accessories).
• Position the devices in such a way that sufficient air circulation is ensured. There must be at least 100 mm clearance behind the back fan for ventilation purposes. Do not block supply air openings on the front. A clearance of 50 mm must be ensured here.
• Position external battery units directly next to the UPS system. To preserve maximum mechanical stability in case of rack installation, place each drawer on its own pair of rack rails.

• Avoid extreme temperatures! To maximise the service life of the batteries, we recommend an ambient temperature of 15^ C to 25^ C. Do not expose the devices to direct sunlight or operate them near other heat sources, e.g. radiators.

• Protect units against external influences (particularly humidity and dust). In this regard, observe the information in Chap3 as from Page16 of these operating instructions.

• If the device is brought from a cold room to a warm room, or if the room temperature drops suddenly, condensation may occur inside the device. Let the device sit for 2 hours before turning it on to avoid the formation of condensation.
• Ensure that no magnetic storage media are stored and/or used near the PROTECT B. PRO.

Check on the rating plate whether the voltage and frequency specifications match the values applicable for your electrical loads.

6 Electrical Connection

6.1 Internal battery contact connection (all models except PROTECT B.1800PRO)

1. Ensure that the UPS is de-energised and that no mains connection cables are plugged in.

2. Now grasp the left and right sides below the front panel and pull the front panel out toward the front. The lock will disengage...

3. ...and you can swivel the entire front section upward. Do not disconnect the ribbon cable to the liquid crystal display! The mechanical parts must be handled without the use of great force.

4. Now connect the internal battery system by connecting the two battery connectors to one another.

graph LR
    A["Front Panel"] --> B["Internal Storage Unit"]
    B --> C["Internal Storage Unit with Component 1"]

When making the connection, make sure that you attach the plugs quickly and securely into one another. Any minor electric arcing that may occur when doing so is insignificant.

1. Then slowly close the front panel using appropriate caution in the reverse order. Make sure that you don't pinch any cables; always handle the front panel with both hands (applying even force on the left and right). Continue with Section 6.3, starting on Page 30.

graph LR
    A["Internal Component"] --> B["Storage Unit"]
    B --> C["Final Storage Unit"]

6.2 External battery unit contact connection (PROTECT B.1800 PRO only)

External battery expansions are connected from the back of the device. It is not necessary to open the front panel(s).

Remove the battery connection covers from the back of the UPS and the battery unit(s) (see also Item 8/16 on Page 26). Make the power connections to the battery using the special battery cable included with delivery according to the diagram shown below. Begin with contact connection of the UPS to the first battery unit. Then connect any additional battery units as shown. At the last battery unit, cover the unused battery socket.

When making the connections, ensure that the battery plug is securely and fully inserted into the counter piece.

The next step involves the included data cables with the small transparent RJ11 plugs. They are used for automatic detection of the battery units. As shown in the figure, connect the UPS to the first battery unit and then (if additional battery units are to be present) battery unit to battery unit.

    A --> U["Module 20"]

Now move the small sliding switch "CHG. SELECT" (Item 2 on Page 26) to the corresponding position. If using a maximum of two battery units, set it to "4A"; if using three or four battery units, set it to "8A".

Then actuate the fuse(s) on the back of the battery unit(s) (Item 15 on Page 26). Move the small lever/s to the "ON" position.

6.3 Mains connection

Compare the setting of the rated supply voltage of the UPS to the rated voltage applicable for your country. The ex-works presetting of the UPS output voltage is 230 V AC. Changes to 208 V AC, 220 V AC, 230 V AC or 240 V AC can be made via the operator panel.

To ensure proper functioning of the UPS and its additional equipment, it is necessary to provide the mains supply cable with an appropriate back-up fuse. With all models of the PROTECT B. PRO series, connection is carried out using the included mains connection cable to a conventional safety socket. Ensure sufficient power rating of the fuse in your subdistribution. The more powerful models as from PROTECT B.1800 PRO, in particular, require their own 16 A fuse protection. Do not yet plug the safety plug of the mains connection cable into the intended safety socket.

6.4 Electrical load connection

Before connecting the electrical loads to the UPS, please check whether the specified rated output on the rating plate is greater than or equal to the total electrical load output.

Connect the intended electrical loads to the outlets of your UPS. Use the included electrical load connection cables for this purpose. Pay attention to the sub-division of the output sockets here (see also Section 5.2 on Page 26). Important electrical loads which must be powered continuously should be connected to continuously energised outputs. The manageable output circuit is used for electrical load segmentation. You will leave your electrical loads switched off at first. Should additional electrical load connection cables be required, please contact your specialist dealer.

If a shared distribution cabinet is used (circuits with both mains and UPS power), label each circuit with the respective feed (mains or UPS).

Finally, check the firm seating of the wire jumpers attached in the Emergency Power Off plug and tighten the two external screws of the plug part (see also Page27 Item 11).

If you would like to use the emergency switch-off function, continue with Section 8.4 on Page 41.

The integrated Emergency Power Off mechanism is used solely to switch off the UPS power. This is done electronically and does not correspond to an EMERGENCY-STOP device as per DIN EN ISO 13850.

7 Operation and Control

7.1 Initial commissioning

Plug the safety plug of the mains connection cable into the intended, properly fuse-protected safety socket. The UPS is automatically supplied with power from the public mains. The UPS starts up in the initialisation phase. All pictograms and LEDs of the liquid crystal display light up briefly.

If an error indication is received, analyse the display using the overview in Chapter 9, starting on Page 43. If the battery system is not recognised, for example, go back to Chapter 6, starting on Page 28.

The ex-works presetting of the rated output voltage is 230 V. The changing of this parameter is described in Section 7.4 on Page 38.

7.1.1 Switching ON the UPS

If the UPS is in the so-called standby mode (e.g. after the procedures described above), press and hold the "ON/MUTE" button (for about 3 seconds) until the "ON" message appears at the top right of the display. The UPS carries out a brief self-test and begins normal operation after a few seconds. The display switches to the UPS statusdisplay. The "OK" message appears at the top right.

Now switch on your electrical loads one after another. The device load of the UPS should not exceed the specified rated load of the

UPS device at any time. If the device does become overloaded, however, "OVERLOAD" appears in the display and an audible tone is emitted. The connected electrical loads continue to be supplied with power for a specific period of time which depends on the severity of the overload, but the connected load must be reduced immediately.

Not heeding the "device overload" condition can lead to a complete failure of all UPS functions!

Also avoid brief device overloads, e.g. as can occur when connecting a laser printer or a laser fax machine. Do not connect household appliances or machine tools to the UPS.

Never connect or switch on additional electrical loads to the UPS if a mains failure is in effect. The UPS is operating on emergency power!

In general, overloads should not occur in battery mode if they do not occur in normal mode.

If the red "FAULT" LED lights up and an audible tone is emitted, a switching-off malfunction is in effect. Follow the instructions in Chapter 9, starting on Page 43.

7.1.2 Switching OFF the UPS

If the UPS is in operation, it can be switched off by pressing and holding the "OFF" button for approx. 2 seconds. The power supply is interrupted immediately, i.e. all electrical loads connected to the UPS are switched off.

7.2 Operator panel

7.2.1 Overview

The panel is made up of three units: the liquid crystal display with black pictograms on a white background, the four buttons for menu navigation and mechanical enabling of the rotatable unit and, at the top, the three different UPS status display LEDs.

7.2.2 Operating buttons (navigation)

The four buttons possess the following functions:

ON/MUTE □▼	Switching on the device from the standby operating mode (press and hold the button for approx. 3 seconds for this purpose)Deactivation of the audible alarm in battery mode (press and hold the button approx. 5 seconds for this purpose; this does not affect the warning or fault indications)Activation of the self-test function in the normal operating condition (press and hold the button for approx. 5 seconds for this purpose)Navigation in the setup menu
SELECT □▲	Switching of the measured value display: input volt./input frequency/battery voltage/output voltage /output frequency/load-/UPS internal temperature/number of externally connected battery systems (press button briefly to change display)Calling up the UPS setup menu from standby mode, i.e. UPS (press and hold the button for approx. 5 seconds for this purpose)Navigation in the setup menu

7.3 UPS operating states

Mains mode ECO mode	Abbreviation for "Efficiency Corrective Optimiser"In this operating mode (UPS input voltage below ±10% of U_rated ), the electrical loads are switched to direct mains supply to increase efficiency. With a fully-charged battery system, the UPS internal fan also stops.
Mains mode AVR mode	If the UPS input voltage is outside the ECO range, but within the voltage window accepted by the UPS, automatic voltage regulation (AVR) is activated.
Battery mode	If the UPS input voltage lies outside the specified tolerance, e.g. in case of a mains failure, the UPS switches to battery mode. In addition, a periodic warning tone is emitted every 4 seconds.
Standby operating mode	UPS is supplied with voltage, but is switched off (electrical loads not powered). Battery charger, on the other hand, is ready for operation in standby mode. The battery is thus being charged.

7.4 UPS settings

The two parameters of the UPS setup menu:

Parameter 1: displays the currently selected menu item. 3 settings can be changed manually via the operator panel: UPS output voltage "01", activation or deactivation of a time-based manageable output socket group "02" and its delay "03". The UPS setup menu can be exited via "00" (ESCAPE).

Parameter 2: displays the currently selected setting.

• 01: Setting of the UPS output voltage

208: Rated output voltage = 208 V AC
220: Rated output voltage = 220 V AC
230: Rated output voltage = 230 V AC (ex-works presetting)
240: Rated output voltage = 240 V AC

• 02: Setting of the manageable UPS outputs (active/inactive)

ENA: Time-based influencing of the outlet sockets allowed (enabled)

DIS: Influence deactivated (disabled) (ex-works presetting)

Note: With "DIS", all output sockets function identically!

• 03: Setting of the time-based switch-off delay in minutes

Specifies the switch-off time of the manageable UPS outputs in battery mode with a previously active setting of "02".

The setting is made in minutes (ex works presetting: "999" minutes)

• 00: Exit the UPS setup menu

Procedure for programming the manageable outputs

Step 1:First set the UPS to the so-called standby operating mode, i.e. if the UPS was just in operation, switch it off. ATTENTION: Your connected electrical loads are de-energised by this! Also ensure that the internal/external battery's contacts were connected properly. The liquid crystal display should generally show the content shown here.
Step 2:You can access the UPS setup menu by pressing and holding the "SELECT" button for at least 5 seconds. "01" appears in the "SET" display window.
Step 3:Navigate to menu item "02" with the "▼" or "▲" button. Now confirm with the "ENTER" button. You will be brought to the selection window of parameter 2: Select between "dis"able and "ena"ble here. Then press either the "▼" or "▲" button again and select "ena"ble. Confirm your selection with "ENTER".
Step 4:Now navigate to menu item "03" with the "▼" or "▲" button. After confirming with "ENTER" again, you can now specify the setting of the desired switch-off time in minutes in battery mode ("▼"or"▲"). Finally, confirm with "ENTER" once again.
Step 5:Setup is now complete. You can exit the setup menu by selecting menu item "00", i.e. navigate to "00" with "▼" or "▲", and confirm again with the "ENTER" button. The liquid crystal display should now in principle correspond with the display from Step 1 again.
Step 6:Disconnecting the UPS from the mains will then save the changes to the UPS internal memory. Wait until the liquid crystal display goes out.

8 Interfaces and Communication

8.1 Computer interfaces RS232 and USB

Different interfaces are available for control of the UPS and the convenient read-out of status indications and measured values. The interface protocol is designed for operation with the shutdown and UPS management software "CompuWatch" from AEG. To connect your UPS to the PC, use the RS232 or USB communication cable included with the delivery.

The USB and RS232 communication interfaces are mutually exclusive, i.e. either USB or RS232 is used. Assignment of the RS232 Sub-D9 jack: 2 = TxD; 3 = RxD; 5 = GND

8.2 Communication slot

The back of the UPS also features a cover (see item 14 on page 27), the removal of which allows the installation of optionally available communication components, e.g.:

Relay card: Plug-in card with status indications, implemented via floating relay contacts (NC or NO contacts)

SNMP card: Plug-in card for direct integration of the UPS into the Ethernet network via RJ45 (TCP/IP) and additional possibility for connection and the manageability of external sensors

Details can be found in the respective description of the option. Other cards are currently being devised.

The communication slot can be used at the same time as the RS232 or USB interface.

8.3 Shutdown and UPS management software

The "CompuWatch" software, which was specially developed by AEG Software for these purposes, continuously monitors the mains supply and the status of the UPS.

Together with the "intelligent" UPS, it ensures the availability of the IT components and data integrity.

The "CompuWatch" shutdown software supports various operating systems, incl. Windows 98/ME, Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows Vista/7, Linux SUSE, Linux RedHat, Novell Netware, IBM AIX, HP-UX, SUN Solaris, Mac OS X etc.

Sample screen from "CompuWatch"

Details on installation under the various operating systems can be found in the manual on the CD. Updates can be downloaded from www.aegpartnernet.com >> PRODUCTS & SOLUTIONS >> Software >> CompuWatch

8.4 Emergency Power Off

All PROTECT B.PRO series devices feature a connection that allows the immediate disconnection of the UPSoutput for switching off connected devices and does not follow the shutdown process of the controller.

Note:

After activating the emergency switch-off, the outputs of the UPS are de-energised. Only after acknowledgement/resetting of the emergency

switch-off mechanism and manual restart by switching the "UPS On" does the UPS return to normal operating condition.

To install the emergency switch-off mechanism, proceed as follows:

1. Check whether the UPS is switched off, and switch it off if necessary (standby operating mode).
2. Remove the plug part from the EPO insert on the back of the UPS by loosening the two external screws (see also Page 26, Item 11).
3. Connect a floating NC contact (loadability of at least 60 V DC/30 V AC 20 mA) to the pins of the plug part.
4. For this purpose, use a flexible cable with a diameter of min. 0.5 mm^2 and max. 2.5 mm^2 . Reconnect the plug and lock the insertion in the socket by tightening the external screws.

The integrated emergency switch-off mechanism is used solely to switch off the UPS power. This is done electronically and does not correspond to an EMERGENCY-STOP device as per DIN EN ISO 13850.

8.5 Overvoltage/data cable protection RJ11 and RJ45 (modem/telephone/fax/network)

Plug the incoming data cable into the "IN" connection on the back of the UPS. Attach the "OUT" connection to your end device using another data cable.

The data cable protection supports networks with a transfer rate of 10 and 100 Mbit/s.

9 Troubleshooting

9.1 Malfunctions

The PROTECT B. PRO outputs detailed fault indications which you or the service personnel can use to quickly and precisely localise and interpret malfunctions which occur. Below you will find suggested processes/solutions for remedying the problem you are experiencing.

If you are not able to solve the problem in this manner, end the entire process, switch off the UPS and disconnect the UPS from the mains. In this case, please contact our hotline (see Page 5).

10 Service

The PROTECT B. PRO is comprised of state-of-the-art, low-wearing parts. We recommend, however, that you carry out visual checks (especially of the battery and fan) at regular intervals (at least every 6 months, however) to maintain continual availability and operating reliability.

CAUTION!

Working area protection and the safety regulations must be complied with!

10.1 Charging the battery

The battery is automatically charged via the mains connection, regardless of the operating mode (standby, ECO, AVR).

The full charging time of the battery after a longer discharging period should be at least 6 hours.

10.2 Regular checks

The following service work should be carried out:

Activity	Interval	Described
Visual check 6 months	Section 10.2.1
Battery/fan check 6 months	Sect.	10.2.2/10.2.3

10.2.1 Visual check

When carrying out the visual check:

• Determine whether mechanical damage or foreign bodies can be identified in the device
• Determine whether conductive dirt or dust deposits are located in the device
• Determine whether dust deposits are hindering the supply and removal of heat.

CAUTION!

The PROTECT B.PRO must be de-energised before the following measure is carried out.

In case of very heavy dust accumulation, the device should be carefully blown out with dry compressed air to enable better heat exchange.

The intervals of the visual checks to be carried out primarily depend on the local set-up conditions of the devices.

10.2.2 Battery check

The progressive aging of the battery system can be determined through regular capacity tests. Carry out comparative measurements of the achievable autonomy time every 6 months, e.g. by simulating a mains failure. The load should always be approximately the same as the power normally required. If the measured autonomy time has decreased dramatically since the previous measurement, please contact our hotline (see Page 5).

10.2.3 Fan check

The fans are to be checked regularly for dust accumulation and any noticeable unusual noises. If the supply air openings are

stopped up, clean them. In case of unusually loud or turbulent running, please contact our hotline (see Page 5).

10.3 Battery replacement

ATTENTION:

A battery can cause an electric shock and can therefore be considerably dangerous if handled improperly.

The following precautionary measures should be implemented before the batteries are replaced.

• Remove any rings, watches or other metallic objects that you may be wearing.
• If the spare battery kit is damaged in any way or shows signs of leakage, contact your specialist dealer immediately.
• Recycle or dispose of the used battery in an appropriate manner. Under no circumstances may the batteries be disposed of in an open fire. The batteries could explode.

Note:

Be aware of the weight of the integrated battery systems. Have another person assist you if necessary.

The battery system is located directly behind the front panel. For easier handling, the battery systems are delivered completely pre-configured.

The procedure for replacing the kit can be seen in the following example using a PROTECT B. PRO with an internal battery system:

1. Grasp the left and right sides below the front panel and pull the front panel out toward the front. The lock disengages...
2. ...and you can swivel the entire front section upward. Do not disconnect the ribbon cable to the liquid crystal display! The mechanical parts must be handled without the use of great force.
3. Now disconnect the internal battery system by detaching the two battery connectors from one another.

1. After loosening the two screws of the battery protection plate, remove the plate from the front. When doing so, guide the battery connector through the intended opening.
2. Now remove the entire battery kit by carefully and slowly pulling it out from the front. Be aware of the weight involved, especially with the more powerful models.

Note:

Before inserting the new battery drawer, you must check the battery system for compatibility once again (see also Page 13).

1. Now insert the new spare kit in reverse order and finally screw the removed battery protection plate back on.

1. Then reconnect the internal battery system by connecting the two battery connectors to one another.

When making the connection, make sure that you attach the plugs quickly and securely into one another. Any minor electric arcing that may occur when doing so is insignificant.

1. Then slowly close the front panel in the reverse order using appropriate caution. Make sure that you don't pinch any cables; always handle the front panel with both hands (applying even force on the left and right).

By ensuring these batteries are disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potentially negative consequences for the environment and human health which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of the battery. The recycling of the materials will help to conserve natural resources.

In case of products that for safety, performance or data integrity reasons require a permanent connection with an incorporated battery, this battery should be replaced by qualified service staff only.

To ensure that the battery will be treated properly, hand over the product at end-of-life to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.

For more detailed information about recycling of this battery, please contact your local Civic Office, your household waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

11 Storage, Removal and Disposal

11.1 Storage

Long storage periods without occasional charging or discharging can lead to permanent damage of the battery.

When the battery is stored at room temperature (20 °C to 30 °C), a self-discharge of 3-6% per month takes place due to internal reactions. Storage at temperatures above room temperature should be avoided. A high storage temperature also means increased battery self-discharge.

Batteries stored at room temperature should be recharged every 6 months to preserve their full capacity and service life.

The PROTECT B. PRO should be connected to the mains network before being put into storage to ensure that the battery is fully charged. The charging duration should be at least 6 hours.

11.2 Removal

Removal is carried out by following the installation description in reverse.

11.3 Disposal

Please dispose of the individual parts of the device as prescribed and in compliance with legal guidelines upon the final decommissioning in the interest of environmental protection and recycling. Please keep in mind that violations of these regulations can be seen as a summary offence.
