In equipments with separate bypass line, a galvanic isolation transformer has to be installed in any of both UPS input power supplies (rectifier input or static bypass), in order to avoid the direct connection of both lines through the internal wiring of the equipment.
This is only applicable, when both power supply lines come from different electrical networks, for example:
- Two different electrical companies.
- One from an electrical company and the other from a generator set, ...
4.3. Operating principle.
This manual describes the installation and operating of the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) from SLC TWIN RT series, as equipments that can work as a single units or connected in parallel with a maximum of two units (equipments higher than 3 kVA only).
UPS from SLC TWIN RT series assures a maximum protection of any critical load, keeping the power supply voltage to the loads between the stated parameters, with no break, when a failure, fluctuation or deterioration happen in the electrical commercial mains and with wide range of available models (from 0,7 kVA to 10 kVA) and allow adapting the model to the end-user needs.
Thanks to the used technology, PWM (pulse width modulation) and the double conversion, the UPSs from SLC TWIN RT series are compact, cold, silent and with high efficiency.
The double converter principle cancels any perturbation of the energy mains fluctuations. A rectifier converts the AC alternating current from mains into DC direct current, which keeps both the optimal battery charge level and supplies the inverter that at the same time generates a sinewave AC alternating voltage ready to supply the loads permanently. In case of input mains power supply fault, the batteries supply clean energy to the inverter.
The design and UPS construction from SLC TWIN RT series have been done in accordance with the international standards.
In models up to 3 kVA, there are available IEC outlets associated to configure groups by means of the control -LS1 and LS2-. At higher power models available automatic protections per each outlet group and also they have terminals to make the corresponding power connection.
The complete series has connectors for USB and RS232 ports and EPO too for an external installation by the end-user of a an emergency button, as an option. In the models from 0,7 to 3 kVA it is supplied a dry contact to install a remote start up and shutdown of the equipment (Dry-in), as well as an auxiliary contact as an alarm (Dry-out).
As an option, inside the smart slot, one of the following communication cards can be inserted: AS-400 interface, SNMP for controlling the equipment via Web or card for Internet or Intranet managing.
Models from 4 to 10 kVA, allow the parallel connection of a second equipment of the same features for a redundant configuration or to increase the available power. This connection can be done at any time and it does not condition the acquisition of itself. Likewise, this power range has manual bypass.
It is possible to increase the standard back up time of the equipment by connecting additional battery modules. In order to optimise the recharging time of the batteries, there are equipments that incorporate battery chargers with higher quality performances (B1). This option (B1) is not available for power rates higher than 3 kVA.
The flexibility of this series to manage a wide range of IT devices, it makes the best option to protect your LAN, servers, workstations and other electrical devices, and to ensure that your business is protected against fluctuations of voltage, frequency, electrical noises, blackouts and mains faults, which are present in the energy distribution lines.
This manual is applicable to the standardised models stated in table 2.

Tabla 2. Standardized models.
4.4. Options.
Depending on the selected configuration, the equipment can include any of the following options:
4.4.1. Isolation transformer.
The isolation transformer, provides a galvanic isolation that allows isolating the output from the input completely.
The installation of an electrostatic shield between the primary and secondary windings of the transformer provides a high level of attenuation of the electrical noises.
The isolation transformer can be installed at the input or output of the UPS from SLC TWIN RT series and it will always be located out from the equipment enclosure.
4.4.2. External maintenance manual bypass.
The purpose of this option is to isolate electrically the equipment from mains and critical loads, without breaking the power supply to the loads. Therefore, in this way the maintenance or fixing tasks can be done in the equipment with no interruption on the power supply energy to the protected system, at the same time that unnecessary risks are avoided to the technical staff.
The basic difference between this option and the manual bypass integrated in the own UPS enclosure in models of higher power rate than 3 kVA, consists in a better manoeuvring, because it allows a complete disconnection of the UPS from the installation
4.4.3. Integration in IT networks by means of the SNMP adaptor.
The big IT systems based on LANs and WANs that integrate servers with different platforms, they have to include an easy way of controlling and management at the manager system disposal. This facility is got through the SNMP adaptor, which is well-known by the main software and hardware manufacturers
The available SNMP option for SLC TWIN RT series is a card to be inserted into the slot that the UPS has in its rear side.
The connection of the UPS with the SNMP is internal meanwhile the connection between the SNMP and the IT network is done through a RJ45 connector 10 base.
4.4.4. Relays interface card.
See section 4.3.10.3.
4.4.5. Parallel cable kit.
The parallel cable kit is used to make the parallel communication control between two equipments of the same power rate that makes a system.
4.4.6. MODBUS protocol.
The big IT systems based on LANs and WANs, many times they require that the communication with any device to be integrated in the IT network has to be done by means of an industrial standard protocol.
One of the most used industrial standard protocols in the market is the MODBUS protocol. SLC TWIN RT series is also ready to be integrated in this type of environments through the external "SNMP TH card" device with MODBUS protocol.
4.4.7. Telescopic guide kit for rack cabinet assembling in.
There is available only one model of telescopic guide kit for all models, suitable for any type of rack cabinet.
These guides allow installing any unit of the TWIN RT equipment and their possible battery modules, in case of extended back up times, as it was a rack with its respective cabinet.
5. Installation.
• Check the Safety instructions (see chapter 2).
- Check that the data in the nameplate are the required by the installation.
- A wrong connection or manoeuvring, can make faults in the UPS and/or loads connected to itself. Read carefully the instructions of this manual and follow the stated steps in the established order.
- The equipments can be installed and used by personnel with no specific training just with the help of this «Manual» only, less those ones that are hardwired, which have to be installed by qualified personnel.
- All connections of the equipment including the control (interface, remote panel, ...), will be done with the switches at rest and no voltage present (UPS power supply switch to «Off»).
- Never forget that the UPS is an electrical energy generator, so the user has to take the needed cautions against direct and indirect contacts.
- When there is only one equipment, omit all the instructions of this document and their implicit connections as regards to parallel systems.
- Parallel system installation needs a switchgear panel with separate input, output and static bypass protections, and a manual bypass too.
This switchgear panel allows isolating only one equipment from the system, when facing any malfunctioning and supplying the loads with the rest of equipments during the preventive maintenance or during the reparation of itself, in redundant systems.
Under request a manual bypass panel can be supplied for a single equipment or a particular system.
- In parallel systems, the length and cross section of the cables that go from the switchgear panel till each UPS and vice versa, will be the same for all of them without any exception.
- Battery circuit is not isolated from input voltage. Hazardous voltages can be found out between the battery terminals and earth. Check that there is not input voltage before doing any intervention on them.
5.1. To be considered in the installation.
- Depending on the power of the equipment, there is a power cord with plug or it is hardwired for input and IEC outlets or hardwired for output, as connection parts for power. The rest of connections are done through the connectors, including the connection of the equipment with the battery module.
- Terminals for separate bypass line are only available in TWIN RT models higher than 3 kVA.
- Cross cable section of the bypass, input and output lines, will be calculated from the currents stated in the nameplate of each equipment, and respecting the Local and/or National Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulations.
- Protections of the switchgear panel, will have the following features:
☐ For input and bypass lines, type B for RCD devices and C characteristic for circuit breakers.
☐ For the output (load feeding), C characteristic for circuit breaker.
Regarding the size, they will be as minimum to the currents stated in the nameplate of each UPS.
- In the nameplate of the equipment there are only printed the nominal currents as it is stated in the safety standard EN-IEC 62040-1. To calculate the input current, the power factor and the efficiency of the equipment have been considered.
Overload conditions are considered as nonpermanent and exceptional operating mode.
- If it is added peripherals to the input, output and/or bypass like transformers or autotransformers to the UPS, the currents stated in the own nameplates of those elements has to be considered in order to use the suitable cross sections, by respecting the Local and/or National Low Voltage Regulation.
- When an equipment incorporates a galvanic isolation transformer, as standard, as an option or either installed by yourself, either at the UPS input, bypass line, output or at all of them, protections against indirect contact has to be fitted in (residual current device) at the output of each transformer, because due to its specification of isolation it will prevent the triggering of the protections fitted in the primary of the transformer in case of electrical shock in the secondary (output of the isolation transformer).
- Remind you that all external isolation transformers already installed or supplied from factory, has the neutral of the secondary connected to earth by means of a cable bridge between both terminals. If it were required an isolated output neutral, remove this cable bridge, keeping the precautions stated in the respective local and/or national low voltage regulations.

5.3. Connection.
- Cross cable section used in the power supply of the equipment and loads to feed, will be sized according to the nominal current stated in the nameplate sticked on the equipment, by respecting the Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulations or norms of the corresponding country.
- Installation will have the suitable input protections sized to the current of the equipment and stated in the nameplate of the equipment (residual current devices type B and circuit breaker with C characteristic or any other equivalent one).
Overload conditions are considered as a nonpermanent an exceptional operating mode, so these currents will not be kept in mind when sizing the protections. - Output protection will be done with a circuit breaker of C characteristic or any other equivalent one.
- The equipments can be installed and used by personnel with not specific training, just with only help of this «Manual», less those ones with power blocks have to be installed by qualified personnel.
- In the hardwired models, is needed to remove the fixing screws of the protection cover and the own cover, to proceed to the parallel connection.
Also the equipments from 4 to 10 kVA have cable glands in the own cover, through them the cables can be conducted and fixed.
When finalising the corresponding tasks, the cover will be installed and its fixing screws again.
- To insert the option cards, it is needed to remove the fixing screws of the smart slot and the own cover.
When finalising the corresponding tasks, the cover will be installed and its fixing screws again. - It is recommended to use terminals in all the cable ends, which are connected to the power blocks, specially in the power ones (input, output and bypass).
- Check the correct torque in the screws of the power blocks.
5.3.1. Connection of input.
- As this is a device with class I protection against electric shocks, it is essential to install a protective earth conductor (connect earth(⊥)). Connect the conductor to the terminal, before connecting the power supply to the input power block.
• Equipments with IEC outlets (models from 0,7 to 2 kVA):
☐ Take the power cord with schuko plug and IEC connector.
☐ Connect the IEC connector to the UPS inlet.
☐ Insert the schuko plug to the AC mains outlet.
• In equipments with power blocks (3 kVA B1 models).
Connect the power supply cables to input power blocks R (L), and N, by respecting the phase and neutral rotation stated in the labelling of the equipment and in this manual. If this rotation is not respected, serious faults could happen.
The main earth input protection is located between the phase and neutral terminal. Pay special attention to the correct connection.
When discrepancies exist between the labelling and the instructions of this manual, the labelling will always prevail.
• For hardwired equipments (models from 4 to 10 kVA).
These equipments have separate power blocks for the static bypass line. For installations with only one power supply, place a cable as a bridge mode "Jumper" between the terminals JP and L (bypass phase line).
Do not fit this "Jumper" bridge, if the equipment is a frequency converter (see figure 13).
In accordance with safety standard EN-IEC 62040-1, the installation has to be provided with an automatic «Backfeed protection» system, as for example a contactor, which will prevent the appearance of voltage or dangerous energy at the input line during a mains fault (see figure 12 and respect the circuit diagram of the particular «Backfeed protection» for the equipment without bypass line).
There can be no derivation in the line that goes from the «Backfeed protection» to the UPS, as the safety standard would be infringed.
It is not needed to install the «Backfeed protection», in case the equipment is a frequency converter, because the own operating principle of the equipment disables the possibility of having bypass line.
☐ Warning labels should be placed on all primary power switches installed in places away from the device to alert the electrical maintenance personnel of the presence of a UPS in the circuit be infringed.
The label will have the following text or an equivalent one:
Before working on this circuit.
• Isolate Uninterruptible Power System (UPS).
- Then check for Hazardous Voltage between all terminals including the protective earth.
Risk of Voltage Backfeed from UPS.
☐ Connect the power supply cables to input power blocks R (L), and N, by respecting the phase and neutral rotation stated in the labelling of the equipment and in this manual (see figure 13). If this rotation is not respected, serious faults could happen. When discrepancies exist between the labelling and the instructions of this manual, the labelling will always prevail.
In parallel systems, the length and cross section of the cables that go from the switchgear panel till one of the UPSs and vice versa, will be the same for all of them without any exception.
5.3.2. Connection of the static bypass power blocks (> 3 kVA models power rate only).
- These equipments have separate power blocks for the static bypass line. For installations with two power supplies, the cable as a bridge mode "Jumper" between the terminals JP and L (bypass phase line) are not to place, otherwise a short-circuit can be made when turning on the protection of both lines.
- As this is a device with class I protection against electric shocks, it is essential to install a protective earth conductor (connect earth(⊥)). Connect the conductor to the terminal, before connecting the power supply to the input power block.

Fig. 13. Power block connection depending on the equipment.
5.3.3. Connection of the IEC outlets and output power blocks.
As this is a device with class I protection against electric shocks, it is essential to install a protective earth conductor (connect earth(⊥)). Connect the conductor to the terminal, before connecting the power supply to the input power block.
- All the equipments have female IEC outlets, in greater or lesser numbers depending on the power rate of the equipment:
☐ Models up to 2 kVA: 2 groups of 4 IEC outlets of 10A labelled as LS1 and LS2, which can be set through the control panel and/or Win Power.
Models of 3 kVA: 2 groups of 4 IEC outlets of 10A labelled as LS1 and LS2, which can be set through the control panel and/or Win Power, plus a IEC connector of 16A.
☐ Models from 4 to 6 kVA: 2 groups based on 2 IEC outlets of 10A and 1 of 16A each one.
Each group has an automatic protection switch. In case of tripping, the load connected to the respective outlet has to be checked, otherwise the protection will be activated and deactivated cyclically, and therefore the loads will suffer the consequences.
☐ Models of 8 and 10 kVA: 4 groups based on 2 IEC outlets of 16A each one.
Each group has an automatic protection switch. In case of tripping, the load connected to the respective outlet has to be checked, otherwise the protection will be activated and deactivated cyclically, and therefore the loads will suffer the consequences.
• For hardwired equipments (models from 4 to 10 kVA).
☐ Connect the loads to output power block U (L) and N, by respecting the phase and neutral rotation stated in the labelling of the equipment and this manual (see figure 13). When discrepancies exist between the labelling and the instructions of this manual, the labelling will always prevail.
☐ Loads can be connected to the IEC outlets, to the output power blocks or to both at the same time, meanwhile the features of the equipment and IEC outlets limitations are not exceeded, otherwise there will be sudden blackouts in the power supply of the connected loads at the output.
- If besides of the critical loads, it is required to connect lagging loads of high consumption, like laser printers or CRT monitors, the inrush currents of these peripherals will be kept in mind in order to avoid blocking the equipment under the worst conditions.
It is better to not connect the loads of this kind, due to the high quantity of energy resources that take from the UPS.
- In parallel systems, the length and cross section of the cables that go from the switchgear panel till one of the UPSs and vice versa, will be the same for all of them without any exception.
- With respect to the protection that must be placed at the output of the UPS, we recommend that the output power should be distributed in at least four lines. Each one should have a circuit breaker protection switch of a value of one quarter of the nominal power. This type of power distribution will allow that in the event of a breakdown in any of the machines connected to the device causing a short-circuit, it will affect to no more than the line that is faulty.
The rest of the connected loads will have their continuity assured due to the triggering of the protection, because the line affected by the short-circuit will trip its protection.
5.3.4. Connection of the external batteries (extended back up time).
- As this is a device with class I protection against electric shocks, it is essential to install a protective earth conductor (connect earth(⊥)). Connect the conductor to the terminal, before connecting the power supply to the input power block.
- To not respect the safety instructions (see document EK266*08) means a high risk of electrical discharge and even the death.
-
To connect the batteries with the equipment, follow the described steps in sections 5.2.5.4 and 5.2.5.6.
-
All the standard UPSs have batteries in the same enclosure, less the B0 and B1. Battery protection is done by internal fuses and not accessible for the end-user. Battery modules have internal protections for the batteries too and they are not accessible for the end-user.
- IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY: In case of installing the batteries by yourself, the accumulators has to be provided with a two pole circuit breaker protection sized to the features stated in table 3.
| Model | Batteries (Uelement × N2) = Unominat / Ufloating | Minimum features of fast type | |

Tabla 3. Specifications of the protection between the equipment and battery module.
- Before starting the connection between the battery module/s and the equipment, check that the equipment switch/es and the one in the battery cabinet are in "Off" position. Likewise when batteries are installed by own self, the fuse or switch has to be turned off.
- Connection terminals of external batteries with the equipment are done with a polarised Anderson connector.
- For battery connection with the equipment, follow the stated steps in sections 5.2.5.4 and 5.2.5.6, keeping in mind the model.
- In parallel systems (4 to 10 kVA models only), the connection of the external battery modules with each equipment has to be treated as single and separate units.
- Each battery module is independent for each equipment. It is completely forbidden to connect to equipments to the same battery module.
5.3.5. Connection of main input earth terminal ( 12 and the earth bonding terminal ( 12 )
- As this is a device with class I protection against electric shocks, it is essential to install a protective earth conductor (connect earth(⊥)). Connect the conductor to the terminal, before connecting the power supply to the input power block.
- Make sure that all the loads connected to the UPS are only connected to the protective earth bonding terminal ( ). The fact of not restricting the earthing of the load or loads and/or the batteries case/s or cabinet/s to this single point will create a return loops to earth which will affect the quality of the supplied power.
- All terminals identified as earth bonding ( 12 ), are joined together, to the main protective earthing terminal ( 12 ) and to the frame of the device.
5.3.6. Terminals for EPO (Emergency Power Off).
- All UPSs have two terminal to install an external button, for Emergency Power Off (EPO). Nevertheless, depending on the power rate of the equipment, it is supplied a four pins connector with the remote shutdown ON-OFF (models from 0,7 to 3 kVA) or a single connector and individual of two pins (models from 4 to 10 kVA).
As an illustration mode, figures A and B, it is shown a connector of two pins. - By default, the equipment is supplied from factory with the EPO circuit as closed (NC). So, the UPS will break the output power supply, emergency power off, when opening the circuit:
☐ Either by removing the female connector inserted in the plinth. This connector has a cable bridge to close the circuit (Fig. A).
Fig. A
Fig. B
☐ Or by turning on the external button installed and belonging to the end-user. The connection in the button has to be in normally closed because it will open the circuit when turning it on.
- Through the control panel, it can be selected the reverse functionality (Password required), normally open (NO).
Less punctual cases, it is not recommended to use this type of connection due to the function of the EPO button, because it would not work in case of any of the two cables that goes from the button to the UPS were cut (damaged).
On the other hand this failure would be immediately detected in the normally closed EPO type, with the inconvenience of the sudden break in the power supply to the loads, but with a complete guarantee of the functioning of the emergency power off.
- To restore the normal operating mode of the UPS, the connector with the cable bridge has to be fitted back in the terminal strip or to deactivate the EPO button and later on to cancel the EPO status in the control panel. The equipment will be operative.
5.3.7. "Dry\_in" terminals, remote ON-OFF (0,7 to 3 kVA equipments only).
- The equipments from 0,7 to 3 kVA have a 4 pins connector, two for the EPO (see the description in the previous section) and two for remote start up or shutdown "Dry_in".
- Through these terminals, an external button can be connected, with the same function that the own in the UPS.
- When pressing, over it for 1 second, the circuit will activate the opposite order of the current status of the inverter, so, if it is shutdown then it will be started up and vice versa, if the inverter is started up then it will be shutdown (see figure 14).
External button, normally open. It is activated with an order of 1 second pulsation.
Fig. 14. Button installation in the "Dry_in" terminals.
5.3.8. "Dry\_out" terminals, dry contact for alarm (0,7 to 3 kVA equipments only).
- The equipments from 0,7 to 3 kVA are supplied with a normally open dry contact "Dry_out", which is closed when activating of any on or more associated alarms "Summary Alarm" from Table 4.
- Do not apply more than 30V AC 1A or 60V DC 2A. Dry contact, do not connect both phases between the contacts, because there would be a short-circuit when triggering the alarm because the circuit is closed.
Dry contact, do not apply voltage between them.

5.3.9. Connection in parallel.
5.3.9.1. Introduction to the redundancy.
N+1 is usually the most reliable power structure. N means the minimum quantity of equipments that the total load needs, so 1, and 1 means the quantity of redundant equipments, so it means, the quantity of faulty UPSs that the system can allow at the same time.
TWIN RT series allows two equipment connected in parallel only, for those models with power rate between 4 and 10 kVA, in order to set a shared output and redundant in power.
5.3.9.2. Installation and parallel operating (4 to 10 kVA equipments only).
- Communication line (COM) is a very low voltage circuit of safety. To preserve the quality, it has to be installed
separate from other lines that have dangerous voltages (energy distribution line).
- Parallel connection bus. Use the bundle with 15 signal cables with mesh and DB15 connectors in the ends to joint up to 2 equipments as maximum. Each bundle has a male and female connector in the ends, which will have to be connected to joint both equipments. It is essential to close the loop of the parallel bus.
The length of the parallel cable has 3 metres and it can't be extended under any other concept due to the risk of interferences and communication failures that it could cause.
- The installation of the parallel systems, has to be provided by a switchgear panel with individual protections for input, output and static bypass (this last one, in those installations that uses the second line only), also a manual bypass with mechanical lock, see figures 16 and 17.
This switchgear panel allows isolating only one equipment from the system, against any failure and feed the loads with the rest of equipments during the preventive maintenance or its fixing. In the same way, it allows removing an equipment in parallel and replace it or put it in parallel again once it is fixed, but without breaking the power supply to the loads meanwhile the connected power can be supported by the operative equipment.
Under request a manual bypass panel can be supplied for a single equipment or a system of two equipments in parallel.
- Respect the connection procedure for input and bypass described in the previous sections of this chapter.
- Respect the established procedure to make the connection of the battery modules for those equipments with extended back up time, which has been described in the previous sections of this chapter.
- Respect the established procedure to make the connection of the output (loads), which has been described in the previous sections of this chapter.
- Respect the established procedure to make the connection of the output and batteries of the equipment, which has been described in the previous sections of this chapter.
- In parallel systems, the length and cross section of the cables that go from the switchgear panel till one of the UPSs and vice versa, will be the same for all of them without any exception.
In the worst case, the following deviations have to be strictly respected:
☐ When the distance among the UPSs and protection panel is lower than 20 metres, the difference in the length between the input and output cables of the equipments has to be lower than 20%.
☐ When the distance among the UPSs and the protection panel is higher than 20 metres, the difference in the length between the input and output cables of the equipments has to be lower than 10%.

5.3.10. Communication ports.
5.3.10.1. RS232 and USB interfaces.
- Communication line (COM) is a very low voltage circuit of safety. To preserve the quality, it has to be installed separate from other lines that have dangerous voltages (energy distribution line).
- RS232 and USB interfaces are used by the monitoring software and firmware updating.
• It is not possible to use both ports at the same time. - Signal pin-out of the DB9 connector are shown in table 5. RS232 port consists in a serial data transmission, so an important quantity of information can be sent through a communication cable of 3 wires.
• Physical structure of RS-232.
☐ Pin 2. RXD. Serial data reception.
☐ Pin 3. TXD. Serial data transmission.
☐ Pin 5. GND. Ground of the signal.
| Pin # Description Input / Output | ||
| 2 TXD Output | ||
| 3 RXD | Input | |
| 5 | GND | Input |
Tabla 5. Pin-out of the RS232 in the DB9 connector.
- USB communication port is compatible with the USB 1.1 protocol for communication software.
5.3.10.2 Smart slot.
- UPSs have a unique slot, hidden rear the cover stated in the views of the equipment as "Smart slot", and allows inserting any of the following options cards:
☐ SNMP for control via Web.
☐ Remote UPS management through Internet or Intranet.
☐ Relays interface (for more details see the next section).
- For more information, contact with our S.T.S or our nearest distributor.
5.3.10.3. Relays interface (option).
- Communication line (COM) is a very low voltage circuit of safety. To preserve the quality, it has to be installed separate from other lines that have dangerous voltages (energy distribution line).
- UPS has a dry contact card for the relays interface communication protocol, it provides digital signals in a free potential way, with a maximum applicable voltage and current of 240 V ac or 30 V dc and 1A.
- This communication port makes possible the dialogue between the equipment and other machines or devices, through the 5 dry contacts supplied in the terminal strip included in the same card and to each one of them an alarm of the 8 available can be assigned (see table 6).
Also there are other three additional terminals with only one common, for an installation of an external On/Off switch to the UPS and a third one with free setting among EPO, Shutdown or "On-Off" remote control.
From factory all contacts are normally opened, being able to set them separately one by one, by means of the Hyper Terminal software or equivalent.
- The most common use of this type of ports is to provide the needed information for the closing file software.
- This card has a RS232 port through a RJ connector. So, in case of requiring a DB9 connector, use the adaptor RJ / DB9 supplied with the relays interface card.
- For more information, contact with our S.T.S or our nearest distributor.
Fig. 18. Relays interface dry contact pin-out.
Installation.
- Remove the protection cover from the slot of the equipment.
• Take the relays interface card and insert it into the smart slot. Make sure that it is well connected, so the resistance that the own connector inside the slot makes has to be overcome.
• Make the needed connections in the alarm terminal strip. - Put the new protection cover that it is supplied with the relays interface card and fix it through the same screws that fixed the original cover.

5.3.12. Considerations before starting up the connected loads.
- It is recommended to charge the batteries for 12 hours as minimum before using the UPS for first time. When supplying voltage to the equipment, the battery charger will automatically work.
(B1) equipments with extended back up time has a battery charger with higher quality performances. It is recommended to charge the batteries for 12 hours as minimum before using the UPS for first time. - Nevertheless, those equipments with extended back up time and with no additional battery charger, it's recommended to charge the batteries of each battery module for 12 hours.
- Although the equipment can work without charging the batteries during the stated time without any problem, the risk of a long blackout has to be valued during the first operating hours and the available autonomy time in the UPS.
- Do not start up the equipment and loads completely till chapter 6 states it.
Nevertheless, when it is done, it will be done gradually to avoid any problem, as minimum in the first commissioning.
- If inductive loads with big inrush current apart from sensitive ones are required to be connected like laser printers or CRT monitors, keep in mind the start inrush currents of these peripherals in order to avoid that the equipment becomes blocked under the worst conditions.
It is better to not connect the loads of this kind, due to the high quantity of energy resources that take from the UPS.

☐ Press over the key ⏻ in any UPS for more than 3 seconds to shutdown all the inverters. The acoustic alarm will beep for 3 seconds. The equipments that belong to the current parallel system will transfer to "Bypass mode".
☐ Put all the equipments on manual bypass. To do it remove the cover from manual bypass switch, which is located at the back of each equipment and turn all the switches to position "BYPASS".
Keep in mind that on "Bypass mode" or with the switch on position "BYPASS", the loads will be exposed to fluctuations of voltage, frequency and mains faults or blackouts, so in case it were possible choose one day with the lowest probability of faults (days without fluctuations, days without storms,... ) and do it as fast as possible.
☐ Turn "Off" the input, output and bypass circuit breaker protections (this last one when it is available) from the protection panel and corresponding to the equipment to replace.
☐ Disconnect the communication bus and all power connections, and remove it. In equipments installed as rack, remove the screws that fix it to the cabinet previously.
☐ Put the manual bypass switch of the new UPS, to position "BYPASS". To do it remove the protection cover of the manual bypass located in the rear side and act over itself.
☐ Put the new equipment that replaces the faulty one and reconnect it. Follow the instructions stated in section 5.3.9.2, to connect them in parallel.
For equipments installed as rack, put the screws that fix it to the cabinet previously.
- Turn "On" the input and bypass circuit breakers (this last one, if it is available) from protection panel, and corresponding to the new UPS.
UPSs supply output voltage from bypass. Check the LCD screen from control panel in case there were any warning or error information.
Measure the output voltage of the new UPS, check the voltage difference is below 1 V. In case the difference were higher than 1 V, double check the wiring and associated instructions.

- Press over the start up key for more than 3 sec. in any of the UPSs and all of them will start up, finally the parallel system will be working on "Normal mode".
Load/s are running and protected by the parallel system again.
6.5. Manual Bypass Switch (maintenance).
6.5.1. Operating principle.
Integrated manual bypass in all UPS from SLC TWIN RT from 4 to 10kVA is very useful, but a wrong use can cause irreversible consequences for both the UPS and connected loads at its output. Therefore, it is important to respect the manoeuvring over the switch as it is stated in the following sections.
6.5.2. Transference to maintenance bypass.
- The procedure to transfer from normal mode to maintenance bypass is the same for a single equipment or a parallel system, less the quantity of actions:
☐ For a single equipment.
- Press over the key of the UPS for more than 3 seconds to shutdown the inverter. The acoustic alarm will beep for 3 seconds. The equipment will transfer to "Bypass mode".
☐ For a parallel system.
-Press over the key ☑ any UPS for more than 3 seconds to shutdown all the inverters. The acoustic alarm will beep for 3 seconds. The equipments that belong to the current parallel system will transfer to "Bypass mode".
☐ Put all the equipment/s on manual bypass. To do it remove the cover from manual bypass switch, which is located at the back of each equipment and turn all the switch to position "BYPASS."
In parallel systems, proceed in the same way in each equipment.
Keep in mind that on "Bypass mode" or with the switch on "BYPASS" position, the loads will be exposed to fluctuations of voltage, frequency and mains faults or blackouts, so in case it were possible, choose one day with the lowest probability of faults (days without fluctuations, days without storms,... ) and do it as fast as possible.
The UPS still supplies output voltage, from mains directly or through the static bypass line (in those installations that it is available), through the manual bypass of the equipment.
☐ Also, if the protection panel has manual bypass switch, remove the mechanical lock and turn the switch "On" (BYPASS).
In this case and in this case only, turn the output switch/es from distribution panel to "Off", depending if there is only one UPS or a system of two equipments in parallel.
The UPS is completely shutdown and inactive and loads are supplied through the manual bypass of the distribution panel.
6.5.3. Transference to normal mode.
- The procedure to transfer from maintenance bypass to normal mode, is the same for a single UPS or parallel system, less the quantity of actions to make:
☐ If the protection panel has manual bypass switch:
- Turn the output circuit breaker protection/s of the distribution panel to "On" previously, depending if there is a single UPS or a system of two equipments in parallel.
If the manual bypass switch is manipulated before turning "On" the output switch/es of the tion panel, the power supply to the loads will be
- Turn the manual bypass switch of the panel to "Off" (UPS) and put the mechanical lock.
To avoid wrong manoeuvring the mechanical lock has to be fit, otherwise the equipment and are exposed to serious damages, even the de-on of both or fire.
☐ Move the manual bypass switch to position "UPS" and put the protection cover the manual switch back.
Put back the protection cover of the manual bypass switch of all equipments, also check the use of the fixing screws, otherwise any of the limit con- of this cover could be activated and the manual by-do.
In parallel systems proceed with the same operations in each equipment.
☐ For a single equipment.
- Press over the start up key ⏻ for more than 3 seconds, the acoustic alarm will beep for 1 sec. and the UPS will start up.
Load/s are protected by the equipment again.
☐ For a parallel system.
- Press over the start up key ⏻ for more than 3 seconds in any of the UPSs and all of them will start up, finally the parallel system will be on "Normal mode"

Tabla 9. UPS status and color LCD display, as condition.
7.1.3. Main screen.
- UPS control panel provides useful information about the status of the load, events, measures, identification and setting through the screen of the front panel.
- Immediately after the start up, the LCD panel shows the SALICRU logo for few seconds and next the main screen by default is displayed, where the status of the equipment is represented (figure 21).
- When the same menu is displayed for 15 minutes in the LCD, and there has not been any manipulation over the buttons, it will return back to main screen automatically.
- The main screen shows the following information by default
☐ Summary of the status, including the operating mode and load.
☐ Status of the alarm, if there is any one active.
The alarm includes the fault and warning informations.
☐ Battery and status of the charge, including the battery voltage, charge level and charger status.
☐ Continuous information includes the UPS in parallel and running time.
- Figures corresponding to the displayed parameters of the control panel in this section are mere examples and they can differ in some models, although the parameters and information are the same, they can differ in shape and layout.

Main screen of the equipment.
- All the screens shown in the figures of this chapter correspond to a 1kVA equipment, as an example. For more details of LCD screen shoots from control panel, see the next section 7.2.
7.2. Operating modes of the equipment.
- The different graphical symbols displayed in the LCD of the control panel, correspond to the following operating modes or status:
Normal mode:
The UPS is running on normal mode with power supply present.
Fig. 22. Normal mode screen.
Battery mode:
When the UPS is running on battery mode, the alarm beeps every 4 seconds.
Fig. 23. Battery mode screen.
☐ Bypass with output voltage:
The output voltage that feeds the load comes from the commercial mains directly through the internal filters. This way the loads are not protected against mains faults or blackouts. The acoustic alarm beeps every 2 minutes.
Fig. 24. Bypass with output voltage screen.
☐ Bypass without output voltage:
The UPS is running on bypass mode without output voltage.

| Line | Output | Load | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 220 V 50 Hz | 0 V 0 Hz | 0VA 0 W | | 100% | [Bar] | 0% |Fig. 25. Bypass without output voltage screen.
□ ECO mode:
Once the UPS is started up, the energy that feeds the load/s comes from the commercial mains directly through the internal filters, meanwhile the voltage is inside the limits that are set as normals.
When input power supply fails, due to fault or wrong, the equipment will transfer from "Line mode" to "Battery mode" to supply the load/s properly.
-This function can be activated through the control panel (by means of password) or through a suitable software (WinPower, ...)
- The transfer time between "ECO mode" and "Battery mode" is around 10 ms. Nevertheless, this time can be excessive for some type of loads, so the ECO mode operating has to be considered according to this issue.
Fig. 26. ECO mode screen.
☐ Frequency converter mode.
bar
| Category | Value (%) | |---|---| | Line | 220 V 60 Hz | | Output | 220 V 50 Hz | | Load | 1000VA 900 W | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Output | 220 V 50 Hz | | Load | 1000VA 900 W | | ? | 100% | | ? | 100% |Fig. 27. Frequency converter mode screen.
In the frequency converter mode, the static bypass is disabled and any of the operating modes of itself, because the input and output frequencies of the UPS are different (50 or 60 Hz). When the input power supply fails, due to fault or wrong, the equipment will transfer to "Battery mode" to feed the load/s properly.
-This function can be activated through the settings of the control panel (by means of password) or by means of a suitable software (WinPower, ...)
- The power of the UPS will be the 80% of the nominal, when it is running on "Frequency converter mode".
□ Warning.
When there is a "Warning", it means that there is something wrong in the UPS operating. Usually, the problems are not serious and the equipment can be kept running. However, pay attention to it, because the UPS could fail.
Fig. 28. Warning screen.
□ Fault.
When a fault occurs, it reveals that some serious problems have happened, the UPS will break the output voltage or will transfer to bypass and the alarm will be saved. The screen will change its blue colour to orange as an intuitive warning mode.
Fig. 29. Fault screen.
Overload.

When the UPS is overloaded, an alarm is triggered with a beeping of twice per second. Decrease the load level connected at the output of the equipment, till the power doesn't exceed from the nominal power of itself.
□ Battery test.
The UPS is running a battery test.

7.3.5. Control submenu.
- When pressing the key the key (for less than 1 sec. from this "Control" submenu, it is accessed to the control structure (see figure 37 depending on the power rate of the model).
- The acoustic alarm can be activated or deactivated from this menu. Any new alarm, will activate the own acoustic alarm.
- Battery test: It is a control command of the UPS, to make a battery test of the equipment. It is also possible to do it in the 0,7 to 3kVA units manually (see section 7.1).
- By means of the "Loads segments" menu, the IEC outlets group stated as "LS1" and/or "LS2" can be activated "On" or deactivated "Off", so the UPS will supply or not voltage to the connected loads respectively.
Also by means of the WinPower software, it is possible to combine other functionality of this menu.
- EPO status cleared: When the EPO button is activated, the UPS output breaks the supply, either if the configuration is single or it is parallel and power supply to load/s is broken.
To restore the normal condition, the EPO button has to be deactivated previously (close the circuit again) and enter into the "Clear EPO status" submenu to clear the current status of the EPO. Doing this the alarm of the UPS is cleared and the output voltage is restored through the bypass (bypass mode). The equipment recover the start up functionality with its normal procedure. See figure 38 as an example.
- Error status cleared: When there is a fault in the UPS, the fault and alarm mode is activated.
To restore the normal status, enter into this menu to clear the error status. Doing this the alarm of the UPS is cleared and the output voltage is restored through the bypass (bypass mode). It is needed to check the cause and cancel it before starting up the equipment again with its normal procedure.
- The event log clearance of the last events can be done through this menu. But in lack of this the system logs in the memory the las 50 events.
- Restore the preset configuration from factory: All values are set to the preset values from factory. This action can only be done on bypass mode.
- Shutdown of a single UPS (individual): It is a command to shutdown the UPS that is running in a parallel system currently and other equipment of the system will supply the load/s in the parallel system.

7.3.7. Setting submenu.
- This submenu is exclusively reserved for Service and Technical Support or authorised personnel and it is only accessible by password.
Some settings modify the specifications and settings to activate or deactivate some functions. Wrong modifications and/or settings can make possible faults or lack of protection to the own UPS and even they can affect or damage the load/s, battery or the own equipment directly.
- Almost all the settings can only be done meanwhile the UPS is on bypass mode.
7.4. Special functions
The UPS has some special functions, that could satisfy a special application of the user.
In case you require any of these special functionalists, contact with the S.T.S. to change the standard configuration from factory.
7.4.1. Operating on ECO mode.
7.4.1.1. Short description of the ECO mode.
- "ECO mode" function allows supplying the load/s from mains directly, through the internal filters only, meanwhile the energy is inside the limits, so the UPS allows an "Economy mode" and with high efficiency >0.97.
- When mains is out of tolerances (voltage and/or frequency), or there are mains failures or blackouts in the power supply, the UPS will transfer to "Normal mode" or "Battery mode" depending on the case and the load/s will be supplied in a safety way.
• Nevertheless, the disadvantages are:
☐ Load can't be protected at 100 %, because on "Line mode" the load/s are supplied from commercial mains directly and through the internal filters of the bypass.
☐ The transfer time of the "ECO mode" to "Battery mode" is 10ms approximately.
Therefore, this function is not suitable for some sensitive loads or areas with unstable power supply.
7.4.12 To establish the ECO mode function.
- The function can be activated or deactivated through the "Setting" submenu (see section 7.3.7).
7.5. Operating as frequency converter.
7.5.1.1. Short description of the frequency converter function.
- In the converter mode, the static bypass is disabled and any of the operating modes of itself, because the input and output frequencies are different (50 or 60 Hz). When input mains fails, either due to a blackout or wrong, the equipment will transfer to "Battery mode" to supply the load/s properly.
- The output frequency is set to the preset value and required by the loads. Nevertheless, the contra is the capacity of the UPS, which is derated up to the 70% of the nominal in the "Converter mode".
7.5.1.2 To establish the Converter mode function.
- The function can be activated or deactivated through the "Setting" submenu (see section 7.3.7).
8. Maintenance, warranty and service.
8.1. Battery maintenance.
- Pay attention to the safety instructions regarding battery (see document EK266*08).
- The UPSs from SLC TWIN RT series only requires a minimum maintenance. The used battery in the standard models is lead acid, sealed, VRLA and maintenance free. These models require a minimum of reparations. The only requirement is to charge the UPS regularly, in order to prolong the battery lifetime. Meanwhile, it is connected to the power supply, never mind if the UPS is ON or OFF, it will keep the batteries charged and will give protection against overcharging and undercharging.
- In equipments that include Pb-Ca batteries, the figures, stated in table 2 of the EK266*08 document, of charge period time depending on the temperature that they are exposed, must be respected, otherwise the warranty will be invalidated.
- Under normal conditions, the battery lifetime is from 3 to 5 years 25irc C. In case that the battery was not in good conditions, it has to be replaced before. This replacement has to be done by qualified staff.
• Always replace them with the same quantity and type. - Do not replace one battery only. All batteries have to be replaced at the same time and following the instructions of the manufacturer.
- Usually, the batteries should be charged and discharged every 4 or 6 months. The charging would be started after a UPS shutdown due to a low battery (discharging). Charging time for standard UPS should be 12 hours as minimum.
8.1.1. Notes for installing and replacing the batteries.
- If it is needed to replace the connection of any wire, purchase original parts through authorised distributors or service centres in order to avoid overheating and sparks with fire risk because the size is not enough.
- Do not short the + and - poles of the batteries, there is risk of fire or electrocution.
- Be sure that there is no voltage before touching the batteries. Battery circuit is not isolated from the input. Hazardous voltages can be found between the battery and earth terminals.
- Although the input and bypass circuit breaker switches (the last one in 4 to 10kVA models with the respective power supply mains) are turned off, the internal parts of the UPS are still connected to the batteries, so there are hazardous voltages inside.
Therefore, before doing any reparation or maintenance task, the internal battery fuses have to be removed and/or the interlink connections between them and the UPS.
- Batteries have hazardous voltages. The battery maintenance and replacement have to be done by qualified personnel and
familiarised with them. Nobody else can manipulate them.
8.2. UPS Trouble Shooting guide.
If the UPS doesn't work properly, check the information given by the LCD of the control panel, according to the models and power of the equipment. Try to solve the problem by means of the established steps in the tables 9 and 10. In case the problem persists, consult with our Service and Technical Support S.T.S..
When it is needed to contact with our Service and Technical Support S.T.S., provide the following information:
• UPS model and serial number.
• Date when the problem occurred.
- Complete description of the problem, including the information given by the led or LCD panel and the status of the alarms.
- Power supply condition, type of load and the level connected to the UPS, ambient temperature, cooling conditions.
- Information of the batteries (capacity and battery quantity), if the equipment is (B0) or (B1) -with external batteries-.
• Other informations that you may think that they are important.

9.2. Glossary.
- AC.- It is nominated as alternating current (abbreviation in Spanish CA and in English AC) to the electrical current in which the magnitude and direction varies in a cyclic way. The most common wave shape of the alternating current is sinewave, because the energy transmission is better. Nevertheless, some applications could need other period wave shapes, like triangular or square.
- Bypass.- Manual or automatic, it is the physical junction between the input and the output electric device.
- DC.- The direct current (CC in Spanish, DC in English) is the continuous electron flow through a cable between two points with different potential. Unlike the alternating current, in direct current the electrical loads always flow in the same direction from the highest potential point to the lowest one. Although, usually the direct current is identified with the constant current (for example the one supplied by the battery), it is continuous any current that always maintain the polarity.
- DSP.- It is the acronym of Digital Signal Processor. A DSP is a system based on a processor or microprocessor that has instructions in it, a hardware and an optimised software to develop applications where numerical operations are needed with very fast speed. Due to this, it is very useful to process analogical signals in real time: in a system that runs in this way (real time) samples are received, usually coming from an analogical/digital converter(ADC).
- Power factor.- It is defined as power factor, p.f., of an alternating current circuit, as the ratio between the active power, P, and the apparent power, S, or as the cosines of the angle that make the current and voltage vectors, designating as cos , being the value of that angle.
- GND.- The term ground, as its name states, refers to the potential of the earth surface.
- EMI filter.- Filter able to decrease the electromagnetic interferences, which is the perturbation that happens in a radio receptor or in any other electrical circuit caused by the electromagnetic radiation coming from an external source. Also it is known as EMI, ElectroMagnetic Interference, Radio Frequency Interference or RFI. This perturbation can derate or limit the efficiency of the circuit.
- IGBT.- The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor is a semiconductor device that is used as a controlled switch in power electronic circuits. This device has the feature of the gate signal of the effect field transistors with the capacity of high current and low voltage saturation of the bipolar transistor, combining an isolated FET gate for the input and a bipolar transistor as switch in a single device. The triggering circuit of the IGBT is as the MOSFET one, while the driving features are like the BJT.
- Interface.- In electronic, telecommunications and hardware, an interface (electronic) is the port (physical circuit) through which are sent or received signals from a system or subsystems toward others.
- kVA.- The voltampere is the unit of the apparent power in electrical current. In direct current is almost equal to the real power but in alternating current can defer depending on the power factor.
-
LCD.- LCD acronym of Liquid Crystal Display, device invented by Jack Janning, who was employee of NCR. It is an electric system of data presentation based on 2 transparent conductor layers and in the middle a special crystal liquid that have the capacity to orientate the light when trespassing.
-
LED.- LED acronym of Light Emitting Diode, is a semiconductor device (diode) that emits light almost monochrome with a very narrow spectrum, it means, when it is direct polarized and it is crossed by an electric current. The colour, (wave longitude), depends on the semiconductor material used in its construction, being able to vary from the ultraviolet one, going through the visible spectrum light, to the infrared, receiving these last ones the denomination of IRED (Infra Red Emitting Diode).
- Circuit breaker.- A circuit breaker or switch, is a device ready to break the electrical current of a circuit when it overcomes the maximum set values.
- On-Line mode.- Regarding to an equipment, it is on line when it is connected to the system, and it is in operation, and usually has its power supply turned on.
- Inverter.- An inverter, is a circuit used to convert direct current into alternating current. The function of an inverter is to change an input voltage of direct current into a symmetrical output voltage of alternating current, with the required magnitude and frequency by the user or the designer.
- Rectifier.- In electronic, a rectifier is the element or circuit that allows to convert the alternating current into direct current. This is done by rectifier diodes, which can be solid state semiconductors, vacuum or gassy valves as the mercury vapour. Depending on the features of the alternating current power supply used, it is classified as single phase, when they are fed by a single phase electrical mains, or three phase when they are fed by the three phases. Depending on the rectification type, they can be half wave, when only one of the current semi-cycles is used, or full wave, where both semicycles are used.
- Relay.- The relay(in French relais, relief) is an electromechanical device that works as a switch controlled by an electric circuit where, through an electromagnet, a set of contacts are moved and it allows to open or to close other independent electric circuits.
- SCR.- Abbreviation of «Silicon Controlled Rectifier», called commonly as Thyristor: semiconductor device of 4 layer that works as almost an ideal switch.
- THD.- They are the acronyms of «Total Harmonic Distortion». The total harmonic distortion is done when the output signal of a system is not equivalent to the one that enter into it. This lack of linearity affects to the wave shape, because the equipment has introduced harmonics that they were not in the input signal. As they are harmonics, it means multiple of the input signal, this distortion is not so dissonant and it is more difficult to detect.
