2.2 systEm DEscriPtiON

The UPS is connected between the public network and the power load segment to be protected.

The rectifier is powered from the mains and converts the AC voltage into a stabilized DC voltage to feed the inverter. The circuitry technology used (PFC), enables sinusoidal current consumption, thus allowing a low circuit feedback operation. A separate, second rectifier (charger) based on switching power supply technology, recharges or maintains the charge of the battery in the intermediate circuit. Due to the special circuitry technology used in this charger / rectifier, the harmonics of the charging current are reduced significantly. Additionally, a sleep mode considerably increases the service life of the battery. The inverter converts the DC voltage into a sinusoidal AC voltage. In combination with digital signal processor technology and extremely high pulse rate IGBT-power semiconductors in the inverter, a microprocessor-controlled regulator on the basis of pulse-width modulation (PWM) guarantees a voltage system of the highest quality and availability on the secured busbar.

In the event of mains problems (e.g. power outages), power is supplied to the load segment without an interruption from the inverter, which now uses the battery. Since no switching is required, the load segment experiences no power supply interruption at all.

The automatic bypass provides increased power supply security for single installations in particular by switching the public network, e.g. in the event of an inverter malfunction, through to the load segment directly and without interruption. In other words, the automatic bypass provides the load segment with an additional passive redundancy.

An integrated, manual bypass unit for maintenance and / or servicing provides an uninterrupted supply of power to the consumers. The connection unit is designed so that it can be separated from the UPS circuitry with minimal effort and can thus remain in the rack. Through this simplified line-side activation, servicing of the unit is possible at all times.

In order to ensure maximum security to the supply of the connected loads, the equipment was also prepared for parallel operation: a second UPS system provides maximum availability when used as an active redundancy. If, however, the demand for power is in the foreground, then the second UPS can be used for performance enhancing parallel operation.

The graphical LCD display used provides for versatile use and easy operation. Convenient features such as switchable outputs, a freely programmable, potential-free change-over contact, as well as an emergency power-off contact, round out the standard interface selection (USB, RS232 and communication slot).

note: InfoRMAtlon!

Useful and important for the operation of the UPS and the external battery modules (optional).

3.2 saFEty iNstrUctiONs FOr tHE PrOtEct D.

This chapter contains important safety instructions for the UPS Protect D. and its external battery modules (optional accessories) that must be followed for the mounting, operation and maintenance of the uninterruptible power supply and the battery system (internal and external batteries, if applicable).

The UPS is an electrical device that can be dangerous. The device should only be opened by qualified personnel. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified service personnel!

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

To ensure operator safety, the device must be properly grounded!

The Protect D. must only be connected and operated with a VDE-approved power cord with a grounding conductor to 200 V / 208 V / 220 V / 230 V / 240 V AC voltage networks with a protective ground.

CAUTION – RISK OF BURNS!

The battery has a high short-circuit current. Connection or disconnection errors can lead to the melting of plug connections, to arcing and to severe burns!

The device is equipped with a warning signal that sounds when the Protect D. battery is discharged or when the UPS is not working in the normal mode (see also chapter 9.1.1 "Alarm- / error messages", from page 61).

To ensure the safe operation and reliability of the UPS and battery modules (optional), observe the following safety instructions:

• Do not attempt to open the UPS! (The UPS does not contain any parts that require regular maintenance. Please note that if the UPS has been opened, any warranty claims with be voided)
• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight or a direct heat source!
• The unit is designed for installation in temperature controlled indoor rooms. Do not install the device close to water or in very humid areas!
• If the UPS is brought from a cold environment into the installation area, condensation may occur. Before using the UPS, it must be absolutely dry; therefore a waiting time of a minimum of two hours before use is required.

• Never connect the mains power input with the UPS output!

• Ensure that no liquids or foreign objects enter the housing!

• Do not block the ventilation openings of the device! Make sure, for example, that children do not insert anything into the ventilation openings!
• Never connect any household appliances, e.g. a hair dryer, to the UPS! Also be careful when operating the device with power loads. Any feedback to the inverter, e.g. due to a short-term generator operation of the load, must be avoided at all costs.
• The power outlet should be located near the unit and with easy access in order to make it easier to deactivate the AC input or pull out the plug!!
• While the device is in operation, do not pull the plug from the UPS or from the network power supply outlet (grounded power outlet). This will cancel the ground for the UPS and all of the load segments connected.

Danger of electric shock!

Even when the mains power supply has been disconnected, parts inside the UPS are still connected to the battery and can give you an electric shock. Before attempting any maintenance or service work, always disconnect the battery circuit!

Battery replacement and servicing must be done or at least supervised by a qualified technician, who is familiar with the batteries and the safety precautions that have to be taken!

Do not allow unauthorized access to the batteries!

When replacing the batteries, please note: Use only identical, maintenance-free, valve regulated lead acid batteries with exactly the same specification as the original batteries. Ask your AEG dealer for the appropriate battery tray.

Danger of explosion!

Do not dispose of batteries in an open fire.

Do not attempt to open or interfere with the batteries (the electrolytes released will harm skin and eyes and can also be toxic!)

Batteries can cause electrical shock and high short circuit current.

Whenever you work with batteries, please take the following precautions:

• Remove all watches, rings and any other metallic jewelry!
• Use only tools with insulated handles!

Do not use connecting blocks with central on / off switches to prevent switch-on current peaks.

Switch the UPS to "OFF" if you don't want to use it for a longer period of time. If your company switches off the power, then the Protect D. has to be switched off as well. Otherwise, the battery will run down. To prolong battery life, avoid running the battery down frequently!

For your own protection, never switch on the UPS when the plug has been pulled from the Protect D.!

4.3 assEmBly

For rack installation of the UPS system and its external battery units (Optional accessories), please note the following:

- To prevent damage from vibration and shocks, the installation location has to have adequate stability.

- Make sure that racks are able to support the installation.

- Place any external battery units directly underneath the UPS system. To ensure maximum mechanical stability, place each tray in its own rack mount.

- Due to their heavy weight, install the units in the lower part of the cabinet.

• Install the units allowing for adequate air circulation.

- External battery packs are to be placed directly below the UPS system. To maintain maximum mechanical stability, mount each tray on a pair of separate rack rails.

- Avoid extremes of temperature! In order to maximize battery life, an environmental temperature of 15^ C to 25^ C is recommended. Do not expose the units to direct sunlight or operate them close to any other heat sources, e.g. radiators.

• Protect the units from external environmental influences (particularly moisture and dust). Please pay special attention to the information in chapter 3, starting on page 16 of this manual.
• If the device is taken from a cold room and brought into a warm room or if the room temperature suddenly drops, condensation may occur within the device. To prevent any condensation buildup, let the device acclimatize for 2 hours before you switch it on.

Installation in a 19" rack

Mount the trays in the lower third of the rack, taking into account the center of gravity of the rack and making sure that there is adequate fresh air supply. Universal mounting rail systems are included. The amount of space required for the 6 kVA UPS is 3U and 5U for the 10 kVA. External battery extension units each require, directly under the UPS, a further 3U.

1. Firstly install the depth variable enclosed rack rails. Tighten the mounting screws on the left and right rails, leaving the rail loosely fastened. Roughly adjust the depth of the rail in the installation location in the rack.
2. Locate the rack mounting positions appropriately and use each two cage nuts on each spar corresponding to the position of the rack rails. Each rack rail requires 4 cage nuts. Ensure that there is sufficient space below each UPS for further addition of battery extension units allowing for a height of 3U. Now insert the rack rails and attach them to the front and rear of each spar with two screws. Securely tighten all screws. Please do not forget about the screws inserted in step 1.
3. Carefully lift the UPS unit and place it on a secure flat surface.

4. Now fasten the two brackets that come with the device to the side of the UPS and, if using, an external battery unit according to Fig. 4. Make sure to put the bracket marked "L" on the left and the one marked "R" on the right hand side. Next, above the rack rails fastening on the cabinet front posts attach a further cage nut for final mounting of the UPS unit on the mounting brackets.

5. Now insert the trays into the side rack rails previously installed in the cabinet.

6. eleCtRICAL ConneCtlon

WarNiNg

Before beginning work, please ensure that cables are disconnected and that power is turned off.

In order to simplify assembly and to avoid deformation of the connector unit, secure in and output cables only with separate connection units. Use only highly flexible fine-stranded cables. Connect the connector firstly to the UPS.

High touch voltages can occur with freely accessible metal parts. Protective measures against earthing can be made through the grounding of the Protect D. via the designated (n) grounding screw(s)/PE). Prior to commissioning, please ensure that Protect D. and it optional battery tray contents are compliant with regulations, e.g. VDE0100 is earthed. To do this, connect the terminals " / PE" (Earth) to the grounding point of the cabinet frame.

Before beginning connection work, ensure that:

• The values of the mains voltage (supply) and frequency match those on the label of the UPS,
• The ground connection prescribed by IEC standards or regulations is consistent with local standards and regulations,
• The UPS is connected to the mains supply via a separate connection with the cable secured for low voltage distribution,
• Fuses or circuit breakers are used to match the values specified in chapter 6.2
• The connecting line from the fuse to the UPS with a minimum cross section according to chapter 6.2 "Connection cross section and fuses"

6.1 saFEty OF PERSONNEI

When fitting the connecting cables, please not the following:

• Switch off power
• Secure against being switched on again
• Verify that equipment is isolated
• Earth and short circuit
  • Cover or fence off nearby live parts

The UPS may retain residual voltage, which can be dangerous. The device may only be installed by qualified personnel and, if opened, repairs may on be carried out by qualified service personnel!

6.2 cONNEctiON crOss-sEctiON aND FUsEs

Refer to the required dimensions of the table below (based on DIN EN 60439-1 (VDE 0660 part 500) and take into account the built-in terminal block):

6.3 maiNs aND cONsUmEr cONNEctiON

The in- and output cables are installed as follows:

- Connect the unit directly from the packaging for easier assembly, unscrew the rear strain relief screw. Depending on the desired cable entry (from the top or rear, e.g. dependent on the cabinet depth) break open the appropriate blanking plates. If the UPS will be operated with two separate power cords, then break open all three blanking plates; otherwise leave them untouched apart from the outside left (bypass) blanking plate.

Fig. 13: Left, the detachable connection of the D. 6000 unit.

Right the Protect D. 10000, each shown with rear cable entry and dual-input.

• Strip the incoming and outgoing cables (after the onset of the cable glands) and feed them into the terminal compartment of the Protect D. ensuring that the proper strain relief glands are used.
• The cores of the cables hang at the appropriate terminal block. Ensure that ferrules are applied to the cables ends before connection. Begin by installing the ground (earth).

Check the bridges between "JP" and "L" (Feed-in bypass)

Remove the bridge unless you want to feed the bypass input of the UPS separately or to operate the UPS in frequency converter operation (refer chapter 6.2)

• Remove cable scrap, tools, screws etc.
  • Install the previously removed strain relief gland back onto the Protect D. Make sure that you do not crush the individual cables. Fix the rear right side (D.6000) or rear left and right side (Protect D.10000) remaining mounting brackets for later fixing of the terminal unit. Finally, with the aid of the guide pins, plug the connector unit to the rear of the UPS and lock unit with the outer fixing screws.

Fig.14: Connection unit with mounting bracket(s) for final assembly at the rear of Protect D.

In the case of a joint distribution box. (circuits with both network as well as UPS power), you must identify each respective circuit power supply (AC or UPS).

The load of the UPS should not exceed the specified maximum capacity of the device at any time. If there is a device overload the red LED light will flag a fault accompanied by an audible warning signal. Depending on the magnitude of the overload, the supply to the connected consumers remains for an amount of time. However, the connected load must be reduced immediately.

Failure to action the state "device overload" can lead to a total loss of all UPS functions!

Do not connect household appliances or machine tools to the UPS.

Do not connect additional loads to the UPS or switch if there is a power failure. i.e. the UPS is in standby mode!

As a rule, when in normal operation and no overload has occurred, then no overload should occur in battery usage.

A flashing LED in conjunction with a fault signal indicates a disconnection fault. Follow the instructions in chapter 9.1

Finally check the seating of the emergency shutdown connector and the cable bridge. Check that the two outer screws of the plug are firmly seated (refer to page 30 item 11)

If you would like to use the emergency function, refer to chapter 8.4 on page 58.

The built-in emergency shutdown of the UPS is only for power. This is carried out electronically and does not constitute an EMERGENCY STOP device according to DIN EN ISO 13850.

• As a final step, remember to tighten the four centrally positioned cross-head screws in the center to lock the panel into place.
• Finally, slide the UPS completely into the rack and attach the UPS on the side with the supplied screws.

6.4.2 cONNEctiNg ExtErNaI BattEry ExtENsiON(s)

The connection of the optional external battery unit(s) for the Protect D. 6000 takes place on the front, while on the D. 10000 it takes place at the rear. Due to the different procedure for connecting the two variants, each is therefore described separately in separate chapters.

PrOtEct D. 6000

The front panel of the Protect D. 6000 should still be in the open folded up state. Now remove the slot cover at the bottom of the UPS front cover.

Similarly to the UPS, also remove to the front panel(s) of the external battery pack(s). Each front panel has a top and bottom slot cover. Now remove the top slot cover on the front panel. If you are using more than one battery unit, remove both slot covers in the remaining front panels so that you can wire the battery units all the way through.

Now start to lay the battery wiring according to the following diagram. The electrical connection takes place via the connection of the respective battery connectors (each consisting of one green, one black and one red male): green to green, black to black, red to red.

Make sure to press the connectors quickly and firmly into one another (green to green, black to black, red to red). If you see a small electric arc while doing this, this is no cause for concern.

Automatic detection takes place via a detection line, whose small transparent RJ11 plugs are to be inserted in the sockets provided for this purpose.

Technical line drawing of an electronic device rear panel with internal components and ventilation duct (no text or symbols)

As the last step, replace the front panels. The wires are to be threaded carefully through the corresponding access slots and are protected behind the front panels. Remember to tighten the four centrally positioned cross-head screws in the center to lock the panel into place.

PrOtEct D. 10000

As mentioned, the connection for the external battery pack(s) takes place at the rear of the unit. Opening the front panel(s) is not required here.

Next, start with the contact for the first external unit. Remove the battery connector cover from the back side of the UPS (see No.17 on page 28). Connect the connecting cable affixed to the external battery pack from now on with the UPS, according to the accompanying illustration. Insert the plug firmly and fully in the reverse polarity protected battery connection jacks.

The next step pertains to the enclosed data cable with the small transparent RJ11 connectors. It is used for automatic detection of the battery unit(s). Connect the UPS in turn with the first battery unit according to the illustration.

Repeat the above mentioned steps for adding additional external battery units. In this case the connection of the next battery takes place on the previous one and so on.

8. INTERFACES AND COMMUNICATION

8.1 rs232 aND UsB cOmPUtEr iNtErFacEs

There are several different interfaces available to control the UPS and conveniently read out status messages and measurements. The interface log is designed to be used with "CompuWatch", the shutdown and UPS management software from AEG. Use the RS232 or USB communication cable that comes with the device to connect your UPS to a PC.

The USB and the RS232 communication interface rule each another out, i.e. either USB or RS232. Pin allocation of the RS232 Sub-D9 jack:

$$ 2 = \mathrm{TxD}; 3 = \mathrm{RxD}; 5 = \mathrm{GND} $$

8.2 cOmmUNicatiONs slOt

There is a cover on the rear panel of the UPS (see no. 10 on page 29); remove it to install additional, optionally available communication components, e.g.:

Relay card: Plug-in card with status messages, realized via potential-free relay contacts (opener or closer)

Relay PRO card: As above, but with programmable pin allocation, connection via terminal, additional option of remote On / Off

SNMP card: Plug-in card for the direct integration of the UPS into the Ethernet network via RJ45 (TCP / IP)

SNMP PRO card: As above, but with the additional option of connecting and managing an external sensor system

For details, please refer to the descriptions that come with each option. Additional cards are in preparation.

The communication slot can be used in parallel to the RS232 or USB interface.

8.3 sHUtDOWN aND UPs maNagEmENt sOFtWarE

"CompuWatch", the AEG software developed specially for these purposes, continuously checks the mains power supply and the status of the UPS.

In combination with the "intelligent" UPS, this ensures that the data-processing components and data backup are available.

The "CompuWatch" shutdown and management software supports a diverse range of operating systems, including Windows 98 / ME, WindowsNT / 2000 / XP, Windows Vista / 7, Linux SUSE, Linux RedHat, Novell Netware, IBM AIX, HP-UX, SUN Solaris, Mac OS X, ...

Fig. 16: Example of a "CompuWatch" screen

For details on the installation under the different operating systems, please refer to the operating manuals on the CD.

Download updates are available from www.aegps.com.

8.4 EPO (EmErgENcy POWER OFF)

All the devices in the Protect D. series are equipped with a connection that allows the immediate shutdown of the UPS output to deactivate any connected devices and does not follow the control software shutdown process.

Note:

Once the emergency power off has been activated, the UPS outputs are voltage-free. The UPS will not return to normal operation until the emergency power off has been confirmed / reset and a manual reboot is performed by activating "UPS On" switch once again.

To install the Emergency Power Off, proceed as follows:

1. Check to see that the UPS is switched off and switch it off if necessary.
2. Remove the plug from the EPO insert on the rear panel of the UPS by unscrewing the 2 outer screws (also see page 30 item 11).
3. Connect a potential-free opener contact (able to manage a load of at least 60 Vdc / 30 Vac 20 mA) with the pins of the plug.
4. To do so, use a flexible wire with a cross section of min. 0.5 ^2 nommax.

2.5 mm ^4 . Replace the plug and lock the insert into place in the base by tightening the outer screws.

Note:

If you want to use an open contact rather than a closed contact, go to "Settings" in the main menu and set "EPO operation" to (N.O.) "normally open".

The Emergency Power Off installed only switches off the UPS voltage. This is done electronically and is not the same as an EMERGENCY STOP system corresponding to DIN EN ISO 13850.

8.5 cHaNgE-OVER cONtact

A potential-free change-over contact is located on the rear panel of the Protect D. series to provide for external, potential-free signaling. For the exact pin allocation, refer to the label next to the base. The contact load is 250V ac 3 A, respectively 30 V dc 3 A.

Depending on the application, different messages can be allocated to the contact using the operating panel (see chapter 7.3.6 from page 51 "Relay configuration").

Use a flexible wire with a cross section of min. 0.5 m ^2 to max. 2.5 mm ^2 .

Replace the plug and lock the insert into place in the base by tightening the outer screws.

10. PARAllel oPeRAtIon

10.1 FUNctiON

The concept of the Protect D. parallel operation requires the parallel operation of max. 2 units of the same type. This yields the following feasible constellations:

1 + 0 Use of 1 device max. 6 or 10 kVA No redundancy

1 + 1 Use of 2 devices max. 6 or 10 kVA Redundancy active

2 + 0 Use of 2 devices max. 12 or 20 kVA Increased power

(no redundancy)

graph TD
    A["Input distribution field (UPS (mains rectifier) / mains bypass)"] --> B["Protection Device 1"]
    A --> C["Protection Device 2"]
    A --> D["Protection Device 3"]
    B --> E["Parallel switching field / external central bypass switch and sub-distribution"]
    C --> E
    D --> E
    E --> F["Output"]

The active redundant parallel operation automatically goes into performance-enhancing operation, if the output power requirements exceed the UPS single-block performance. Conversely, the active degree of redundancy will be activated automatically when the power consumption is lower than the UPS single-block capacity of two parallel-connected devices. As a rule they can be interconnected on the low-voltage main distribution boards (LV), which include the external manual bypass and the subsequent sub-distribution of connected load circuits. Optionally, such a supply and paralleling field is available in the rack-mount (3U) version including external manual bypass, from AEG Power Solutions through your dealer (article-no. 6000012436).

10.2 iNstallatiON / cONNEctiON OF ParallEI FiEID OPEratiON

The power supply of each UPS is analogous to the description in chapter 6.

With regard to the bypass feed, the power supply secured per UPS has to be made simultaneous, i.e. both UPSs are connected to the bypass input terminals - (No mix!) and fed by the respective same phase.

The UPS outlets are each connected through a disconnector to the parallel operation. Here again, the instructions are in chapter 6.

Generally applicable for UPS entry and exit wires: with wire lengths up to 10 meters per UPS the wire length differences may be max. 20 %, and for lengths >10 m max. per UPS it may be 5 %.

The UPS outlet distribution must also be in accordance with the procedures contained in chapter 6. Pay particular attention to the correct identification of the individual switching elements, to prevent incorrect use later on. The communication between the paralleled units occurs via an optional 15-pin parallel operational line.

11. MAINTENANCE

The Protect D. is constructed using modern, low-wear components. Nevertheless, in order to maintain constant availability and operating reliability, it is advisable to make visual checks (of the battery and the vents in particular) at regular intervals (but at least every 6 months).

CAUTION!

Always make sure to secure the working area and carefully follow all safety instructions!

11.1 cHargiNg tHE BattEry

The battery is always charged automatically when connected to the mains power supply, regardless of the operating mode

The total charging time for the battery after it has been discharged for a long period of time can depend on the number of additional external battery packs (see chapter 2.3 on page 13).

11.2 maiNtENaNcE cHEcks

The following maintenance work should be performed:

Activity Frequency Described in

Visual check 6 months chapter 11.2.1

Battery / ventilator check 6 months chapter 11.2.2 / 11.2.3

11.2.1 VisUal cHEck

When doing visual checks, be sure to check whether ...

• there are any mechanical damages or foreign bodies in the system,
• there is any conductive dirt or dust accumulation in the device and
• dust accumulation impedes the heat input or heat dissipation.

CAutlon!

Before performing the next step, make sure to switch off the voltage supply to the Protect D.

If a large amount of dust has accumulated, the device should be carefully cleaned with dry compressed air to allow for better heat exchange.

The time intervals of the visual checks to be performed largely depend on where the devices are installed and the environmental conditions at these locations.

11.2.2 BattEry cHEck

You can tell whether the batteries are getting older by making regular capacity tests. Every six months, make comparative checks with respect to the bridging time possible by, for example, simulating a power outage. The load should always show close to the same power requirements. If the battery time sinks drastically compared to the previous check, please contact our hotline (see page 7).

11.2.3 VENtilatOr cHEck

Check the ventilators regularly for dust accumulation and any noticeably irregular noises. If the vents are clogged, they must be cleaned; if the ventilator appears to be unusually loud or is not operating smoothly, please contact our hotline (see page 7).

11.3 BattEry rEPlacEmENt

CAutlon:

A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and can be very dangerous if handled improperly.

The following precautions should be observed before replacing the batteries:

• Remove rings, watches and other metal objects.
• If the battery replacement kit is damaged in any way or shows signs of leakage, contact your dealer immediately.
• Recycle or dispose used batteries properly. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

Note:

The UPS internal batteries are heavy. Use caution when handling the heavy batteries.

The internal batteries are located behind the UPS front cover (behind the LCD control panel). The internal batteries are packaged together as one unit for easier handling.

Note:

Should you also use external battery systems, for technical reasons we strongly recommend replacing all battery systems.

External battery packs will be replaced through conventional battery-swapping. Please talk to your local UPS representative.
