1. The UPS is composed of mains input (main and bypass), rectifier/PFC, charger, inverter, bypass, battery, DSP
controller, single phase transformer, contactor and final output.
2. When the mains is normal, the rectifier will start, and the charger will charge the battery string. Before turning
on the UPS, the output voltage is bypass voltage, and the mains supplies power to the load through the bypass.
After turning on the UPS, the electronic transfer switch connects the inverter output to the load, and the mains
supplies DC power to the inverter through the rectifier/PFC circuit. The inverter then converts DC power into pure
sine wave AC power and supplies the AC power to the transformer connected to contactor. Final output is supplied
to load from transformer secondary through electronic transfer switch. Refer figure 1-3 for the position of contactor
and transformer.
3. When the mains is abnormal, the rectifier/PFC circuit boosts the battery voltage and supplies it to the inverter.
The inverter then converts it into pure sine wave AC power and supplies the AC power to the load through the
electronic transfer switch.
4. After the mains returns to normal state, the UPS will automatically transfer from Battery mode to Normal mode,
the mains supply DC power to the inverter through the rectifier/PFC circuit, and then the electronic transfer switch
supplies AC power to the load.
The UPS state and operation mode include: Normal mode, Bypass mode, Battery Mode, ECO mode, Fault State mode
and Maintenance Bypass mode. The operation schematic diagrams of Normal mode, Bypass mode, Battery Mode and
Maintenance bypass mode are shown in Figure
When the mains input is normal, the load is supplied with voltage-stabilizing and frequency-stabilizing power by the
mains after processing of the rectifier and the inverter, and meanwhile, the charger is charging the battery. The
operation mode is Normal mode.
In Normal mode, the run indicator (green) is on, the alarm indicator is off, and the buzzer is silent.
If the overload overtime, inverter or rectifier failure appears during the UPS operation in Normal mode, the UPS will
transfer to Bypass mode, that is, the load is powered by the bypass source, which comes directly from the mains input.
If the rectifier is normal, the internal charger will charge the battery.
In Bypass mode, the run indicator (green) is on, alarm indicator (yellow) is on, and the buzzer beeps every second. The
'Current' page in LCD will display 'On Bypass'.
Upon mains failure or voltage out of range, the rectifier and internal charger will stop running, and the battery will
supply power to the load through the inverter. In Battery mode, the run indicator (green) is on, alarm indicator (yellow)
is on, and the buzzer beeps every second. The 'Current' page in LCD will display 'On Battery'.
1. The battery has been fully charged before delivery. However, transportation and storage will inevitably cause some
capacity loss. Therefore, it is required to charge the battery for eight hours before putting the UPS into operation for
the first time, to ensure the adequate backup time for battery.
2. The battery cold start can also be used to start the UPS from the Battery (charged) mode upon mains failure.
Therefore, the battery power can be used independently for improving the system availability to some extent.
1.5.4 ECO Mode (For Single UPS with External Battery Only)
In ECO Mode, the load is powered by bypass when the bypass voltage is normal, and the load is powered by inverter
when the bypass voltage is abnormal. ECO mode is an energy-saving operation mode. For power equipment
insensitive to power grid quality, you can use the ECO mode for power supply through bypass to reduce the power
loss.
1. In ECO mode, if the bypass failure or abnormal bypass voltage appears when the output is not overloaded, the UPS
will transfer to Normal mode. However, if the bypass failure or abnormal bypass voltage appears when the output is
overloaded, the UPS will not transfer to Normal mode, but shut down the bypass.
2. In ECO mode, the efficiency of the UPS is up to 94%.
In the normal mode, the UPS will transfer the load to Bypass mode in case of inverter failure or UPS
over-temperature. In Battery mode (with no bypass mains), the UPS will shut down and stop the output if the
inverter failure or UPS overtemperature appears. In UPS Fault State, the alarm indicator (red) will be solid on, the
buzzer will keep beeping, and the corresponding fault information will be displayed on LCD.
If maintenance and repair for UPS are needed, you can switch the load to the Maintenance Bypass through
maintenance bypass MCB, and the power to the load is not interrupted. The maintenance bypass MCB is located at
the back of the UPS cabinet, and the capacity meets the requirements of total load capacities.
When the UPS has malfunctions, and can not working normally, please get in touch with the nearest Vertiv branch
office or local service center. It is prohibited to repaire the UPS by yourself, otherwise the personnel injury and
damage to the equipment will occur.

This chapter briefly introduces the mechanical installation of the UPS, cable connection and commissioning of the
single UPS.
Each site has its peculiarity, so this chapter provides the guidance with general installation procedures and methods for
the installation engineer who should conduct the installation according to the actual conditions.
1. The UPS should be installed by a qualified engineer according to the information contained in this
chapter. If any problem is found, please get in touch with Vertiv local service center immediately.
2. The UPS shall not be powered on without approval of the commissioning engineer.
3. For other equipment which is not introduced in this manual, the detailed information about
mechanical installation and electrical installation are delivered with the equipment.
The UPS adopts the carton box. Open carton box as shown in the figure 2-1. Visually inspect the UPS appearance for
transportation damage. If any problem is found, please notify the carrier immediately. Check the accessories and
models against the delivery list. If any problem is found, please notify the dealer immediately.
This section describes the parts, which are supplied along with the UPS. These parts must be examined on receipt
of the system.
2.2.1 UPS
The UPS is mounted on a wooden base palette and fixed on to the same. The unit is wrapped in polythene sheets
and enclosed in a corrugated box. The UPS cabinet can be moved by human, or forklift or other similar lifting
equipment.
2.3.1 Location
UPS room The UPS is designed for indoor installation, which should be installed in a clean and well-ventilated
environment, to keep the ambient temperature within the specifications.
The internal fans provide forced air cooling for the UPS. Cooling air enters the UPS through the ventilation holes
on the front panel and exhausts the hot air through the back-ventilation holes. Therefore, do not obstruct the
ventilation holes. Maintain at least 200mm clearances between the front, rear of the UPS and the wall or adjacent
equipment (see Figure 2-2), to avoid obstructing the UPS ventilation and heat dissipation. Otherwise, the UPS
internal temperature will rise, which will shorten the UPS life.
If necessary, an indoor exhaust fan should be installed to keep the indoor temperature from rising. An air filter
should be used in a dusty environment where the UPS is to be operated.
Space Reserved
1.The UPS should be installed only on the concrete surface or other non-flammable surfaces.
2.As shown in Figure 2-5, the demonstration of the clearance between the rear panel of the cabinet and the wall is
500mm. The clearance should not be less than 200mm, it needs to be considered according to the actaul situation for
the sake of maintenance convenience.
Battery Room
A small amount of hydrogen and oxygen will be generated at the end of battery charging; therefore, you must ensure
that the fresh air ventilation of battery installation environment meets the EN50272-2001 requirements.
The battery ambient temperature should keep constant, for the ambient temperature is the main factor to affect the
battery capacity and life. The battery standard operating temperature is 20°C, operation above this temperature will
shorten the battery life, and operation below this temperature will reduce the battery capacity. If the battery average
temperature in operation rises from 20°C to 30°C, the battery life will be reduced by 50%; if the battery temperature in
operation exceeds 40°C, the battery life will be decreased exponentially. In general, the allowed ambient temperature
of the battery is 15°C ~ 25°C. The battery should be kept away from heat and ventilation holes.
When the UPS uses an external battery, you must install a battery protective device (such as fuse or circuit breaker) in
areas near the battery and use the shortest wiring distance for the connection between the protective device and the
battery.
Storage Environment
When the UPS does not need to be installed immediately, the UPS must be stored indoors to be protected from the
excessive moisture or over-temperature environment. The battery requires dry and low temperature, well-ventilated
environment for storage, and the most suitable storage temperature is 20°C ~ 25°C.
Battery Hazards
During the battery storage, the battery must be periodically charged according to the battery
instructions. When charging the battery, you can connect the UPS to the mains temporarily to charge
and activate the battery.
I/O cables and battery cables are required for connection. When connecting the cables, you should follow the local
wiring regulations, take the environment situation into account, and refer to Table 3B of IEC60950-1.
The max. current in different operating modes is listed in Table 2-1, the recommended min. cable CSA is listed in
Table 2-2. Select the appropriate cables according to Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.
Table 2-1 Max steady state AC and DC current

When the battery cables are selected, the maximum allowable voltage drop is 4Vdc according to the current value
shown in this table. Do not ring the cables to avoid increasing the electromagnetic interference (EMI).
1: The input mains current of the rectifier and the bypass.
2: Non-linear load (switch mode power) affects the neutral cable design of the output and the bypass. The neutral
cable current may exceed the rated phase current, up to1.732 times as large as the rated current.
Table 2-2 Single UPS cable CSA (unit: mm2, ambient temperature: 25 deg C)
The recommended I/O MCB capability of the UPS is listed in Table 2-4; select the MCBs according to your
requirements.
1. The UPS is high leakage current equipment, it is not recommended to use the MCB with leakage current
protection.
2. The specified upstream breakers below are required to obtain the conditional short-circuit current rating, Icc
at 10kA symmetrical rms. The specified upstream breakers should comply with an IEC 60947 series Standard.
1. Before connecting the battery cables, confirm that the actual battery cell number and capacity are consistent with
the parameter settings on the LCD menus.
2. It is prohibited to reverse the polarity of the battery cables.
3. Before replacing the battery module and connecting the battery cables, disconnect the DC battery MCB, power off
the UPS completely, and conduct isolation protection on the terminals.
4. It is recommended that the battery cable should not be longer than three meters. Otherwise, the UPS cannot
operate normally.

in Figure 2-4.
b) Press the or key to select and set corresponding parameters (taking 'Output' as an example). As shown in
Figure 2-5.
4. After setting corresponding parameters, press the power button for two seconds, and the LCD prompts a dialogue
box shown in Figure 2-6.
After selecting 'YES', the run indicator (green) blinks, the inverter starts, and the run indicator turns on.
5. Measure whether the inverter output voltage is normal.
6. If the battery is not connected, the alarm indicator is yellow. If the battery is connected, the alarm indicator turns
off.
After selecting 'YES', the inverter starts, and the run indicator (green) is on.
This chapter introduces the features, requirements, installation and commissioning of the parallel system.
The UPS parallel system provides the user with N + X (2 ≤ N + X ≤ 4, X=0 or 1) parallel configuration, N stands for
the basic parallel sets, X stands for the redundant sets.
3.1 Features
1. The software and the hardware of each UPS in parallel system are the same as those of the single UPS. The basic
parameters of the parallel system can be set through the LCD (Refer to 3.5.2 Parallel System Parameters Setting for
details), and the detailed parameters can be set through the background software (For service engineers only).
2. The parallel cables form a ring connection (Refer to 3.4.2 Connecting Parallel Cables for details) to provide
reliability and redundancy for the system. The intelligent parallel logic provides the user with maximum flexibility. For
example, each UPS in the parallel system can be switched off or on in random order; seamless transfer can be achieved
between Normal mode and Bypass mode, and the transfer is automatically recoverable: that is, after the overload is
removed, the system will return to the original operation mode automatically.
3. The total load of the parallel system can be queried through the LCD of each UPS.
3.2 Requirements
A UPS system composed of multiple parallel-connected UPSs is equivalent to a large UPS system. Nevertheless, it
provides increased system reliability. To ensure equal utilization of all UPSs and compliance with relevant wiring
regulations, the following requirements must be met:
1. All single UPSs must have the same capacity. The 10kVA//20kVA UPS must be connected to the same bypass
source.
2. The bypass input power (10kVA/20kVA only) and the rectifier input power must be connected to the same neutral
line input terminal.
3. If a residual current detector (RCD) is required, it must be set correctly and installed before the same neutral line
input terminal, or it must monitor the protective earth current of the system. Refer to 'Warning: high leakage current' of
Safety Precautions before Contents.
4. The outputs of all single UPSs must be connected to the same output bus.
5. Because the UPS parallel system is not fitted with any auxiliary contact detection devices for the output MCB of the
UPS, removing the single UPS from the parallel system before maintenance and adding the single UPS into the
parallel system after maintenance must be conducted strictly following the procedures provided in 5.2 Transfer
Procedures Between Operation Modes. Failure to observe this may affect the reliability of the load power supply.
Each single UPS of the parallel system needs to configure the MCB and cables respectively, refer to 2.4 Connecting
Power Cables for the specification. The recommended configurations of the total power cables are listed in Table 3-1
and Table 3-2 for the parallel system.
The power cables of the UPS are connected to the I/O terminal block of the rear panel of the UPS, the layout of the I/O
terminal block is shown in 2.6.1 Connecting I/O Cables.

Table 3-2 Input & Output cable CSA for 20 kVA parallel system (unit:mm2, ambient temperature: 25 deg C)
The parallel system provides parallel cable option. The parallel cables form a ring connection through the parallel ports
on the rear panel of the UPS. Taking 20kVA model for example, the cable connection schematic diagram of 3 + 1
parallel system is shown in Figure 3-1.
1. The Vertiv parallel cables must be used for the parallel system.
2. If the parallel communication fault occurs during the parallel commissioning or operation just shut off the system
and check whether the connection of the parallel cables is correct.
3. During parallel system operation, do not unplug the parallel cables to avoid system damage risk.
In the parallel system, the 20kVA UPS can either share the battery strings or use the battery strings independently. The
10kVA UPS can only use the battery strings independently.
When each UPS of the parallel system uses the battery string independently, the battery cables connection of each UPS
in the parallel system is the same with that of the single UPS, refer to 2.5 Connecting Battery Cables for the
installation method. The schematic diagram of battery strings in 1 + 1 parallel system with independent battery strings
is shown in Figure 3-2 (a) and (b). Refer to 2.4 Connecting Power Cables to configure an MCB.
Make sure that the LCD settings are correct when using the battery strings independently for the parallel system, refer
to 3.5.2 Parallel System Parameters Settings for details.
(b)
Figure 3-2 Connection Principle Diagram upon using battery string independently in (a) 10kVA and (b) 20kVA
respectively
1. If the battery strings (four standard battery modules, option) are shared in parallel system, the backup time of the
battery module ranges from two minutes to three minutes at full load.
2. To ensure the abundant backup time of the battery, it is recommended to use the external battery cabinet with big
capacity.
Wiring
Power off the parallel system completely, disconnect the battery MCBs of all single UPSs, and then use battery cables
(refer to 2.4 Connecting Power Cables for the cables and the MCBs) to connect '+', 'N', '-' and 'PE' terminals of the
battery strings respectively to 'BAT+', 'BAT-', 'BAT N' and 'PE' terminals of the corresponding I/O terminal block of
the UPS in the parallel system through each battery MCB, as shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3 Connection diagram fof shared battery string in 1+1 parallel system
Refer to Figure 3-4 to configure the positive battery string and negative battery string.
1. Check and confirm that power distribution mode of the is correct; that connections of the power cables and the signal
cables are correct and there is no short circuit.
2. Check that the battery installation and cable connection is correct and there is no short circuit, and that the positive
pole and negative pole of the battery are correct. Especially when each UPS of the 20kVA parallel system shares the
battery strings, check these items carefully.
3. Check all the working status of the parallel system, ensure that the phase sequence of the main, bypass
(10kVA/20kVA) and output of each UPS is correct and consistent, that the connection of the parallel cable is reliable,
and that the user load is not connected during power-on.
4. Measure and confirm that the mains voltage and frequency are normal.
5. The output terminals of the UPS is energized upon the start-up. If the load is connected with the output terminals,
make sure that the power to the load is safe.
The output terminals of the UPS will be live upon start-up. When bypass of the single UPS in the parallel system is not
consistent, the system fault may occur, check and confirm the bypass before power-on.
The parallel parameters for all the UPSs in the parallel system should be set. As shown in Figure 3-5.
The user can change these settings according to actual needs, for instance two units are connected in parallel then in
the settings System parallel num will be 2; refer to Appendix 1 LCD Parameters Setting for details. After the
change, press the last item 'Sync parallel parameters' to validate the setting.
1. Set the parallel parameters of each UPS in the parallel system, then commission the inverter. The specific
commissioning procedures are as follows:
a) Make sure that the output MCBs of all UPSs in the parallel system are open, and then close the external input
MCB of each UPS in the parallel system, the UPS is powered on at the same time.
b) The LCD displays the self check screen, and the alarm indicator (red) and run indicator (green) are on at the
same time for about five seconds.
c) After the rectifier has been in normal operation state for about 30 seconds, the rectifier start-up is finished.
d) Refer to 3.5.2 Parallel System Parameters Setting for the parallel parameters setting for each UPS. Note whether

battery is connected, the alarm indicator will turn off.
g) If the UPS is working normally, press the power button for two seconds to turn off the inverter.
h) Repeat the preceding step a) ~ step g) to power on and commission the inverter of other UPSs respectively.
2. After confirming that the inverter of each UPS is normal, commission the parallel system, the specific procedures
are as follows:
a) Close the external output MCB and input MCB of each UPS, and all UPSs are powered on at the same time. After
the start of the rectifier is finished, press the power button of one UPS for two seconds, the run indicator (green) will
be on. Measure whether the inverter output voltage is normal.
b) Start the inverter of the second UPS, check whether there is an alarm on the LCD, and confirm that the UPS parallel
works normally.
c) Follow the methods to start the inverter of the third or the fourth UPS to connect the UPS into the parallel system.
3. If the user needs to add one UPS in the parallel system, follow the commissioning procedures below:
a) Check and confirm that the power distribution mode, each power cable and signal cable of the added UPS are well
connected without short circuit. Check that the battery installation and cables connection are correct without short
circuit, and that the positive and negative are correct.
b) Repeat steps a) to h) in Part 1 to complete the single unit commissioning of the added UPS. Then completely power

3.5.1 Introduction
The dual bus system consists of two independent UPS systems; each UPS system consists of one or two
parallel-connected single UPSs, or more parallel-connected single UPSs.
The dual bus system has high reliability, which is suitable for the load with many input terminals. For single UPS input
load, you can add a static trigger switch (STS, optional) to start the standard Load Bus Synchronization (LBS) system.
Place the UPSs side by side, and connect the UPSs as follows:
The dual bus system adopts the LBS system to realize the output synchronization of the two independent (or parallel)
UPS systems. One is the master system, and the other is the slave system. The operation mode of the dual bus system
contains master system and/or slave system running in Normal mode or Bypass mode. The schematic diagram of the
LBS system built by two UPSs is shown in Figure 3-6.
The appearance of the LBS port is the same as the parallel port. For the dual bus system formed by the parallel UPS, it
is recommended to prepare two LBS cables used to connect any two parallel/LBS ports of the two-parallel system,
which is used for reliable connection.LBS connection is applicable for only 20kVA.
Through the 'Settings' -> 'System' -> 'LBS', you can set the LBS according to actual needs.
There are three items of LBS for selection: Disable, Slave, Master.
The LBS is the load synchronous system, which is used to implement the output voltage phase synchronization of the
two sets of UPS system. Two sets of UPS system can be two single UPS or two sets of UPS parallel system.
The UPS which is set to LBS master can send synchronization signal to LBS salve according to the own inverter
voltage phase. After the slave receives the synchronization signal sent by the master, the slave will adjust its
inverter voltage phase to realize the inverter voltage phase is synchronized with the master.
Through the above to realize the inverter voltage phase synchronization of two sets of UPS system and realize the
reliable transfer between the two sets of UPS output voltage and STS, then provide the reliable uninterrupted power
supply to the load.
This chapter introduces the fucntion and use of the components of the UPS operation and display panel, and provides
LCD display options information, including LCD screen types, detailed menu messages, prompt windows messsge and
UPS alarm list.

3. If maintenance for rack is needed, notice that the neutral line is live.
The start-up procedures can be performed after the installation is finished, the system has been commissioned by
authorized engineer and the external input MCBs are closed.
Important
This procedure results in mains voltage being applied to the UPS output terminals. Confirm that the load
power is safe, if there is a load to be connected with the UPS output terminal. Ensure that the load is isolated
with the UPS output terminal, if the load is not ready for accepting the power.
The start-up mode of the single UPS includes normal mode start-up and battery mode start-up; refer to 2.6.2 Normal
Mode Start-Up and 2.6.3 Battery Mode Start-Up for details.
The Inverter operation mode includes Normal mode (mains inverter) and Battery module (battery inverter).
In case of mains failure, the UPS will transfer to Battery mode. If you wish to transfer the UPS from Battery mode to
Normal mode, wait few seconds for mains input recovery. Ten seconds later, the rectifier will restart automatically,

The communication ports include: intelligent card port, dry contact port, built-in port, 32 port, control port and
USB port
It is recommended to make the signal cable length be less than 3m and keep away from the power cable.
UPS provides an intelligent card port (see Figure 6-1, taking 20kVA model for example), which is used to install
the communication device options, including SIC card and RDU-SIC card. The intelligent card port and USB port
can be used at the same time.
SIC card
SIC card is a network management card, which makes the intelligent devices (such as UPS, air conditioner, static
transfer system (STS), sever power management system (SPM), and so on) produced by Vertiv have network
communication capability. The SIC card can also be used with the Network Shutdown designed by Vertiv to
provide safe automatic shutdown function for the computer, in which the Network Shutdown has been installed, to
protect data and reduce loss.
Refer to the corresponding user manual for the installation and operation guide.
RDU-SIC card
The RDU-SIC card is a network management card. It can make the intelligent equipment (such as UPS, PDU and
so on) developed by Vertiv have the capacity of network communication. The SIC card can also connect to the
environment monitoring equipment, including IRM series or 1-Wire series temperature sensor, temperature &
humidity sensor or dry contact signal input & detecting sensors. In case of an intelligent equipment alarm, it
notifies the user by multiple ways: recording, sending a Trap message, sending an E-Mail or sending an SMS.
The RDU-SIC card provides four approaches to monitor the intelligent equipment and equipment room
environment:
• Web browser. Monitor your intelligent equipment and equipment room environment through the Web
server function provided by the SIC card
• Network management system (NMS). Monitor your intelligent equipment and equipment room
environment through the SNMP agent function provided by the SIC card
• RDU-Manager. RDU-Manager is a piece of management software for equipment room. You can use
RDU-Manager to monitor your intelligent equipment and equipment room environment through the
TCP/IP interface provided by the SIC card
• Centralized management software (Nform). Monitor your intelligent equipment through the Velocity
Server service function provided by the SIC card
The SIC card can also work with the Network Shutdown computer safe shutdown program developed by Vertiv to
provide automatic safe shutdown function for your computer installed with Network Shutdown, so as to prevent
data loss.
Refer to the corresponding user manual for the installation and operation guide
RS485 card
RS485 card should be used together with S600 Model provided by Vertiv to realize the signal transform from
RS232 to RS485.
Refer to the corresponding user manual for the installation and operation guide.
The UPS provides five dry contact ports. The silkprints of the five dry contact ports are 1 ~ 12. The pin layout of each
dry contact port is shown in Figure 6-2, and the port description is shown in Table 6-1.
The EPO action of the UPS will close the rectifier, inverter and static bypass, but it cannot disconnect the UPS mains
input inside. If you want to disconnect the UPS completely, just disconnect the upstream input MCB when generating
the EPO.
In emergency conditions, close the REPO switch (prepared by users) to shut down the rectifier and inverter, and the
UPS is powered off. In normal condition, the REPO switch cannot cut off the UPS input power. If a switch of
electronic control tripping function is adopted at the UPS input, the REPO switch can help the switch trip and thus cut
off the UPS input power. The position of the REPO switch is shown in Figure 1-3, and the REPO cable connection is
shown in Figure 6-3.
1. Loosen the '11' and '12' connection terminals of the REPO port.
2. Insert the two ends of the copper core cables with the insulation leather peeled into the '11' and '12' connection
terminals of the REPO port and press down the terminals. The REPO cable is complete. Ensure that the REPO cable is
firmly connected to avoid no action or wrong action of the REPO caused by accidental dropping or infirm contact.
3. For parallel UPSs, when connecting the REPO cable, users should parallel connect '11' of the REPO port with one
end of the electronic switch, and parallel connect '12' with the other end of the electronic switch.
When the REPO switch at the user end closes, the UPS will generate an alarm and cut off the output immediately, and
the UPS will not return to the normal operation state automatically. At this point, you must change the REPO switch
state, and power on the UPS manually.
1. It is recommended to use 0.82mm2 ~ 0.33mm2 (signal cable of 18AWG ~ 33AWG) copper core cable.
2. If the switch you have configured is of electronic control tripping function, when the REPO signal takes action, you
need to close the switch before restart the UPS.
Insert one end of the USB communication cable to the USB port (see Figure 1-3) on the rear panel of the UPS and
connect the other end to the USB port of the computer. After the connection, you need to install the USB drive
program in the installation disk.
The methods to connect the serial port communication cable are as follows:
Insert one end of the DB9 serial port communication cable to the DB9 serial port (see port 5 in Figure 1-3) on the rear
panel of the UPS, and connect the other end to the DB9 port of the computer.

This chapter focuses on the UPS maintenance, including the fan maintenance, battery maintenance, UPS cleaning,
UPS state check, UPS function check
Never maintain the UPS on line. Ensure that the UPS has been completely powered off when performing the UPS
Internal maintenance.
Before the fan is completely stopped, do not insert your fingers or some tools into the fan so as to avoid device
damage or personal injury.
The UPS fans are expected to run for 20000 hours ~ 40000 hours continuously. The higher the ambient temperature,
the shorter the fan life is.
During the UPS operation, please verify the fan status once every half year by confirming that air blows out from the
ventilation holes on the rear panel.
The internal battery module of the UPS is sealed, lead-acid, maintenance-free battery. The battery life depends on the
ambient temperature, charge and discharge times. High ambient temperature and deep discharge shortens the battery
life.
If liquid leakage and damage to the battery are found, place the battery in the nti-vitriol tank, and deal with it
according to the local regulations.
The waste lead-acid battery is dangerous waste material. It is one of the national emphases to control the waste
battery pollution. Its storage, transportation, usage and disposal must follow the national and local law and other
criterions about the dangerous waste material and the waste battery pollution prevention.
According to the related regulations, recycle the waste lead-aid battery, and other disposal methods are prohibited.
Throwing away randomly the waste lead-aid battery and other improper disposal methods can result in serious
environment pollution, which will be investigated the legal responsibility.
As the provider of the lead-acid battery, Vertiv has built perfect service network and recycle system for the waste
battery to assist users to deal with the waste battery by law. Contact Vertiv or the nearest service center for the
detailed information of the recycle system about the waste battery.
Vertiv is not liable for the environment results caused by failure to comply with the notices in this section or to use
the waste battery recycle system provided by Vertiv.
It is recommended to check the UPS operation status once every half year.
Check the following items:
1. Check if the UPS is faulty: Is the alarm indicator on? Is the UPS giving any alarm?
2. Check if the UPS is operating in Bypass mode. Normally, the UPS operates in Normal mode; if it is operating in
