Note: The table above represents the electrical ratings of the SBP and not those of the UPS. UPS wire specifications may vary. The SBP requires a minimum wire size of 25 mm^2 and a maximum wire size of 50 mm^2 . Refer to the UPS user manual for UPS wiring specifications.

SBP ratings must be equal to or greater than those of the UPS to which it is connected.

The input circuit breaker should not exceed the rating recommended on the UPS.

The system load must not exceed the electrical rating of the UPS. For example, if a 3840 VA SBP is used with a 3000 VA UPS the maximum load that the system will support is 3000 VA.

Hardwire the UPS

Refer to the UPS user manual for detailed instructions.

Operation

Normal mode

While the SBP operates in normal mode, power is supplied to connected equipment from the UPS providing protection from power variations and disturbances.

Test mode

1. Switch the UPS to Bypass mode. Verify that no UPS fault conditions exist. In the event that a fault condition exists, refer to the user manuals for the UPS and SBP.

2. Switch the SBP to Test mode.

Note: While the SBP is in Test mode connected equipment receives direct utility power and is not protected by the UPS.

The UPS will continue to receive input utility power. The Equipment Protection Policy is not valid while the SBP is operating in Test mode.

Bypass mode

Bypass mode enables connected equipment to operate on utility power while UPS maintenance is performed.

While in SBP Bypass mode the UPS will not receive utility input power. The UPS will receive battery power while in SBP Bypass mode. Refer to the UPS user manual for shutdown procedures.

Note: Connected equipment is not protected by the UPS while the SBP is in Bypass mode. The Equipment Protection Policy is not valid while the SBP is operating in Bypass mode.

Reconnect SBP to UPS

Bypass mode

1. Put the SBP in Bypass mode.
2. Correctly configure the input, output and battery connections on the UPS. DO NOT turn on the UPS at this time.

Test mode

1. Switch the SBP to Test mode.
   a. The connected equipment will receive direct input utility power.
   b. The UPS will receive input utility power.

2. Verify that no UPS fault conditions exist. In the event that a fault condition exists, refer to the user manuals for the UPS and SBP.

3. Turn on the UPS output power.

Normal mode

1. Switch the UPS to Bypass mode. Verify that no UPS fault conditions exist. In the event that a fault condition exists, refer to the user manuals for the UPS and SBP.
2. Switch the SBP to Normal mode.
3. Switch the UPS to Online mode. Verify that no UPS fault conditions exist. In the event that a fault condition exists, refer to the user manuals for the UPS and SBP.

The SBP will now supply power to connected equipment from the UPS providing protection from power variations and disturbances.

Troubleshooting
