Principle of operation
Main Switch SW1 Output to Load
This chapter describes the purpose, principle of operation and user controls of the AP4300 series on-line Uninterruptible Power System (UPS). The AP4300 series UPS is connected between a critical load, such as a computer, and its input power supply. Its purpose is to provide the load with well regulated power under all rated load and input supply conditions; i.e. the power provided by the UPS will be protected from any voltage or frequency variations on the incoming power supply, or variations in the supply due to electrical noise, and will continue during periods of input power supply failure. A battery provides a standby power source for the UPS when the input a.c. supply fails.

1.3.1
Basic Concept
Figure 1-1 Front view of the cabinet The equipment is constructed around a steel frame with removable panels. The right-hand front panel can be lifted off to give easy access to the input & bypass circuit breakers and the operator control switch, while protecting them from accidental operation. The left-hand front, and left-hand side panels are located on spigots and secured to the frame by screws. A display and control panel on the front of the cabinet permits the operator to monitor the performance of the UPS. The cabinet houses both the power components and the batteries. It is carried on six wheels. Jacking feet help to support the UPS, and also prevent it from moving once it has been wheeled into its final position. These feet are also used to secure the equipment to its shipping pallet during transit. Dimensions of all available models are given in the Specification at the end of this manual. Cooling is by a set of internal fans. Air is drawn in through the UPS and exhausted via ventilation grills in the rear and side panels. These areas must be kept free of anything that may impede the air flow into and out of the unit.
The UPS acts as an AC - DC - AC converter. The arrangement of the main components is shown as a block diagram in figure 1-2. The AC - DC stage comprises three steps; in the first step the a.c. is converted by a rectifier to d.c.; in the second step a resonant converter converts the d.c. to high frequency a.c.; and in the third step a rectifier converts the high frequency a.c. to high voltage d.c. A battery, to provide power when the input to the rectifier fails, is charged by a battery charger which is run from the resonant converter. The DC - AC stage comprises a high frequency inverter which converts power from the high voltage d.c. rectifier back to a.c. at the input supply voltage and frequency. The use of a high frequency converter and a high d.c. voltage bring advantages of size and weight reduction while permitting a wide input voltage range. The main switch permits the operator to connect the output terminals directly to an a.c. input supply via the maintenance bypass line, and a static switch permits the UPS to do the same automatically, if necessary. 1.3.2 Primary Power Path The Input rectifier converts the incoming 3-phase 50Hz a.c. input supply to d.c. power at a nominal 580V at its output - i.e. the primary d.c. busbar. The rectifier is uncontrolled and the voltage on the d.c. busbar will vary as the input voltage varies. The resonant converter comprises a resonant circuit, isolation transformer and a high frequency rectifier. The rectified 3-phase input supply is converted to single phase a.c. power at high frequency, and then converted to high voltage d.c. by a high frequency rectifier. The d.c. output is regulated by the converter controller to 800V d.c. which is 400V, with respect to neutral, to power a high frequency transformerless inverter. The inverter converts the 800V d.c. power to 3-phase, 50Hz, a.c. power at the output for use by the critical load. The control electronics ensure that the inverter output is synchronised with the bypass supply.

High frequency harmonics are filtered so the load sees a clean, sinusoidal waveform with low harmonic distortion. The battery charger is a.c. coupled to the converter and converts the high frequency sine wave to 435V d.c. for charging the battery. A standard AP4300 system uses one set of thirty-two 12 V batteries, connected in series, to provide a nominal battery voltage of 384V d.c. (the standard 15/20kVA models contain two sets of thirty-two 12 V batteries). When the input supply becomes unavailable the input rectifier stops maintaining the d.c. bus voltage. The battery then provides power to the primary d.c. bus, and the battery charger becomes inactive. 1.3.3 Static switch The static bypass (SBP) switch is an electronically-controlled switch which, when turned on by the UPS, connects an a.c. input supply directly to the UPS output terminals (a load transfer). The load is then supplied directly from the a.c. input supply. The a.c. supply to the static switch, annotated bypass supply in figure 1-2, can be taken from the same source as that supplying the input terminals, or may be taken from a separate source (Split Bypass). Two conditions cause the static switch to perform a load transfer: 1) when the UPS control electronics automatically shut down the inverter because of an overload condition or a UPS internal failure such as an inverter fault; the static switch closes simultaneously so as to transfer the load to the bypass supply. 2) where the bypass supply to the UPS is taken from a separate source (Split Bypass), and the battery has discharged after supplying power to the load following either a failure of the input power supply to the input terminals or an input overvoltage. During start up and normal operation, the inverter control logic ensures that, provided the bypass supply voltage and frequency are within defined limits, the inverter output and the static bypass supply will be synchronised within specified limits. Transfers between the inverter output and the static bypass supply can then take place without a break in the power supply to the load. However, if the bypass supply voltage or frequency go outside their set limits, the UPS can no longer automatically transfer the load to the bypass, and a message on the LCD display panel warns of this condition. Whenever power is supplied to the SBP during a start up or after a bypass input failure, the control system checks that the supply voltage and frequency are within tolerance and that the phase rotation is correct, and then tests the operation of the SBP switch by briefly transferring to bypass. During the test a [UPS ON BYPASS] message is displayed on the LCD panel (see Section 1.7.1.LCD Display - Controls & Screen). Caution When the load is being supplied through the static switch or the maintenance bypass line, it is connected directly to the input power supply and is therefore no longer protected against power failures or power supply fluctuations. 1.3.4 Maintenance bypass line The maintenance bypass line provides a direct connection between the load and the bypass supply for use when the UPS is shut down for maintenance or troubleshooting. The load is switched to the maintenance bypass line manually with the main control switch, SW1. Note: A manual transfer to bypass is not recommended if a bypass alarm is present, unless a message on the LCD display panel requests it.

1.4 System operation
The resonant converter, battery charger, inverter and static switch are controlled by a microcontroller board. Figures 1-3 to 1-7 illustrate the load power paths through the UPS during its major operating modes. The resonant converter, the high frequency transformer and the high frequency rectifier are shown as a single block in these diagrams. The solid black lines represent the active power paths. 1.4.1 Operation during normal conditions During normal operation, the input rectifier provides power, via the resonant converter and high frequency rectifier, to the inverter. The inverter provides power to the load, and the battery charger float charges the battery at 435V. See figure1-3

The period for which the load is supplied by the battery after a input power supply failure (the Autonomy Time) depends upon both the battery capacity, and the percentage of the rated load being supplied. Refer to the equipment specification at the end of this manual.

When the battery is fully discharged, the action taken by the UPS depends on whether the bypass supply is taken from the same source as the main input (common bypass), or from a separate source (split bypass). Units with split bypass When the end of battery discharge is reached in a split bypass system, the UPS transfers the load to the bypass supply, closing the static switch and switching off the battery SCR, as shown in figure1-5. Caution When the load is being supplied from the bypass line through the static switch, it is connected directly to the input power supply and is therefore no longer protected against input power supply disturbances. If, later, the input power supply returns, the input rectifier powers up and the UPS automatically re-starts the inverter, opening the static switch to transfer the load back to the inverter. The system is then in the normal operating condition and recharging the batteries.

Figure 1-7 UPS Maintenance Bypass Selected. 1.4.4 Maintenance bypass.
Figure 1-5 Split Bypass - Load is transferred to bypass when end of battery discharge is reached. Units with common bypass When the end of battery discharge is reached in a common bypass system, the inverter shuts down and power to the load is lost. Automatic restart facility: A UPS with a common bypass will automatically restart if the input power supply returns after the autonomy time expires, provided the control switches have not been operated in the meantime.
Setting the main control switch, SW1, to Maintenance Bypass connects the UPS output terminals directly to the bypass supply terminals via the internal maintenance bypass line, as shown in fig. 1-7, so that the critical load is powered from the bypass supply. The inverter and converter are shut down and the static bypass switch disabled. This isolates the critical load totally from the inverter output so that UPS faults can be investigated without affecting the power supply to the load. Refer to the section on the Operator's Controls later in this chapter for details. Caution When operating on maintenance bypass power, the load is unprotected against input power supply disturbances. Therefore the load user should be informed when this mode is selected.
Note: The auto-restart facility may be disabled by an entry on the control panel. If the auto-restart facility has been disabled, a message on the LCD panel will indicate this when the supply returns. Restart the UPS by using the controls on the LCD panel to switch the output on. Refer to Chapter 2 - Operating Instructions.

1.5.1
Electrical switches
Circuit breakers and fuses
If the inverter develops a fault, or suffers a severe overload or overtemperature condition, the UPS automatically transfers the critical load to the bypass supply by closing the static switch and shutting down the inverter see figure1-6. The battery charger will remain active.
Circuit breakers CB1 - CB3 connect the supply from the bypass terminals to the static switch; circuit breakers CB4 - CB6 connect the supply from the input terminals to the UPS; and the battery fuses FS1, FS2 are contained in fuse holders carried in a fused switch which disconnects the UPS from its batteries (FS3 in the 15/20kVA units is used to disconnect the second set of batteries only). The fuses are isolated from the circuit when the switch is opened so that the fuses can be replaced safely.
Issue 3 (01/03/98)

AP4300
Caution Fuse holders and circuit breakers should be opened/closed only by competent personnel when required. It is not necessary to open or close them during normal operation. 1.5.2 Control switches The UPS is controlled by the Main Control Switch (SW1), which is a four position switch, and an OUTPUT OFF' switch (SW2). The location and use of these switches is described later in this chapter. The UPS can also be controlled from the front panel see section 1.7 . 1.5.3 Internal Cutout Relays Input Overvoltage Cutout If the input voltage exceeds 477V, the UPS will isolate the power components from the input by opening the Input Overvoltage Cutout Relay, located in the input circuit between the circuit breakers (CB4 to CB6) and the input rectifier, and will switch to battery operation; refer to Section 1.4.2. - Operation during input power supply failure for details. Powering the load from the Maintenance Bypass line is not recommended when this relay has opened in a common bypass system. Inverter Output Cutout If an internal fault turns off the resonant converter, the UPS will transfer the load to bypass automatically. The Inverter Output Cutout Relay, located in the circuit between the inverter output and the rotary switch, SW1, will open to protect the inverter from the possibility of damage due to reverse power from the bypass line.

Test position When set to the TEST position the UPS power train neutral is connected to the neutral line. The load continues to be powered via the maintenance bypass (MBP), and the UPS control system starts to test the converter, battery charger, inverter, phase rotation and static bypass switch in sequence. The default window shows the message Testing. Each section is enabled when the tests on it are completed satisfactorily. Finally, if no faults are found, the static bypass switch closes automatically. The default window message changes to Tests Passed, Turn SW1 to UPS. Note that the load is still powered via the MBP line (fig.1-12), and will not be connected to the UPS output until switch SW1 has been set to UPS.

Figure 1-12 Tests OK; static bypass turned on. If any problems are found, they will be indicated on the display panel, and the UPS will inhibit the transfer of the load to the inverter. This ensures that if SW1 is subsequently set to UPS while a fault exists, the load will not be supplied by the inverter but by the static bypass. Faults found can then be corrected before they can affect the power supply to the load. This position is also useful for testing the UPS manually after repairs, while the UPS continues to be powered from the maintenance bypass. UPS position (normal operation) When SW1 is set to UPS, the load switches from the maintenance line to the UPS output without a break in the power supply to the load. A mechanical overlap ensures break free switching; i.e. the load is connected briefly to both the maintenance line and the static bypass line during the switchover with SW1.
MAINT TEST
The UPS circuit breakers for the input and bypass supplies and the fused switches for the battery fuses, (fig.1-15), are located behind the front detachable panel, (fig. 1-8). These serve as switches which should be operated only by competent personnel, when required. There is no need to open or close them during normal operation. Note: To refit the front panel, first engage the slots on the panel with the corresponding spigots on the cabinet, and then allow the panel to drop into place.

1.6.3 Output Off Switch (SW2) Caution Pressing the Output Off pushbutton will turn the inverter off and remove power from the load. When this switch is pressed, the control system shuts down the inverter and disables the static bypass switch. The UPS display remains active. The resonant converter is also turned off, but is switched on for 5 minutes at 1 hour intervals to permit battery charging. Refer to later sections for information on how to restore power to the load. The Output Off switch is mounted on the back panel of the UPS and is recessed into its housing to reduce the chance of accidental operation. 1.6.4 SW2 1.6.5
AP4300
Remote Stop Switch (optional) A connection is provided for a switch, which can be located remote from the UPS, and which has the same function as the Output Off switch. When it is operated it shuts down the inverter, and inhibits the static switch so that power is removed from the load. Caution Pressing the Remote Stop pushbutton will turn the inverter off and remove power from the load. WARNING The mains input, bypass input and battery terminals still carry lethal voltages after pressing the Remote Stop switch. Do not remove covers from these parts. Only competent personnel should remove external panels held in place with screws. The Remote Stop switch can be either a latching or a non-latching switch. However it has the highest priority so that, if a latching switch is used, it must be reset after operation before the UPS output can be enabled from any source.
Figure 1-16 View of the back of the cabinet showingthe location of the Output Off switch, (SW2).
LCD controls - on/off command Caution Selecting Output Off will turn the inverter off and remove power from the load.
1.6.6 Optional operator controls The operation of the UPS can be controlled from external locations if one or more of the available communication options is connected. Instructions from a remote terminal will be effective only when they are enabled. Any subsequent commands, from whatever source, will over-ride previous commands - but see the note below. Note: Any OFF command will have a higher priority than an ON command from another origin. If the UPS does not respond to the operator controls as expected, ensure that all OFF commands from any connected options have been unlatched The additional options are described in Chapter 4 - Options. 1.6.7 Emergency Shutdown In order to remove power from the output in an emergency, move SW1 rapidly to position OFF.
The Command feature, accessed from the main menu, is provided so that the operator can switch the UPS on and off by using the controls on the LCD display panel. This permits the operator to turn the UPS OFF as part of its day-to-day operation at the end of the working day for example - without having to repeat the full start-up sequence to turn the UPS back ON. When the output is selected OFF the microcontroller removes power to the load in the same way as when the Output Off switch is pressed and continues to monitor the UPS. When the output is set ON, the UPS control system tests the converter, inverter, and static bypass switch in sequence before switching on the converter and inverter. The UPS output and LED indications then return to normal.

The STATUS option gives access to windows which show the present values of measured parameters such as input & output voltages and current, load etc. These parameters are useful when determining the state of the UPS or the causes of alarms, and are described in more detail in Chapter 6 - Maintenance. The COMMANDS option permits the operator to switch the UPS output on and off; to set times when the UPS output switches on and off; to set the conditions when the UPS will respond to a shutdown command from an external system; and to initiate battery tests. See Chapter 2 - Operating Instructions. The SETUP option permits the operator to set the date, time and the language in which messages are displayed. Their use is described in Chapter 2 - Operating Instructions. The MAINTENANCE option provides the route to the windows where a service engineer can configure the UPS to suit its operational environment. Entry to these windows requires a password. This manual does not provide servicing instructions and the options accessed from this window are therefore not shown on the menu map in fig.2-1. Only trained service engineers should be authorised with a password. Refer to the Commissioning Manual for details.

Output load indicator These six LEDs operate as a percentage load indicator bar and indicate the load on the phase with the highest load.
The audible alarm cancel button carries a red LED that flashes on/off whenever the UPS detects certain fault conditions.
Figure 1-21 Fault indicator and audible alarm cancel button Figure 1-19 Output load indication Several fault conditions are also accompanied by an insistent audible warning signal which can normally be cancelled by The left-most five LEDs are green and illuminate progressively as pressing the horn cancel button. The LED will continue to indicate the alarm until the fault condition has cleared. Details of the load increases. The load ranges are 10-20, 20-40, 40-60, 6080 and 80-100 percent of the UPS full load rating. The sixth LED the audible alarms are given in Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting. is amber and illuminates when the output of any phase exceeds 100 percent. This LED is therefore normally accompanied by an OVERLOAD alarm and an audible warning. If an overload occurs, the UPS automatically transfers the load to the static bypass supply after a time interval which depends on the overload magnitude - the greater the overload, the shorter the time interval. Battery Capacity Indicator The first five LEDs are green and operate as a bar indicator to show the state of battery charge when charging, and to show battery capacity remaining when the UPS is operating on battery power. The sixth LED is amber and flashes to indicate when there is a charger fault.
Figure 1-20 Battery autonomy indicator During battery charging the bar indicator LEDs light progressively from left to right until all five LEDs are ON, and the battery is fully charged; the battery charger then turns OFF. The time taken to reach full charge will depend on the load: the higher the load, the higher the rate of charge. When the battery is fully charged, a burn and coast routine puts the battery on charge for one hour every twelve hours. Battery life is prolonged when it is kept fully charged in this way. When the UPS is operating on battery power, the battery bar indicates the battery capacity remaining. The bar indicator LEDs progressively extinguish as the battery discharges, each LED representing approximately 20% of the rated autonomy time at the current load.

WARNING OPERATION OF THE CONTROL SWITCH (SW1) FROM THE UPS (ON) POSITION THROUGH TO THE OFF POSITION PASSES THROUGH BOTH THE TEST AND MAINT POSITIONS. THE INTERNAL MAINTENANCE BYPASS SYSTEM IS THEREFORE ACTIVATED DURING THIS OPERATION. IF THE UPS HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SWITCHED OFF BY EITHER THE LOCAL OUTPUT OFF SWITCH (SW2) OR BY A REMOTE STOP PUSHBUTTON SWITCH, TURNING THE CONTROL SWITCH (SW1) FROM THE UPS (ON) POSITION TO THE OFF POSITION WILL ACTIVATE THE INTERNAL BYPASS SYSTEM AND THEREFORE APPLY POWER SUPPLIES TO THE LOAD. IN ORDER TO AVOID ACCIDENTALLY APPLYING POWER SUPPLIES TO THE LOAD VIA THE INTERNAL BYPASS SYSTEM, ISOLATE THE POWER SUPPLIES TO THE BYPASS SYSTEM BEFORE TURNING THE CONTROL SWITCH (SW1) THROUGH THE TEST OR MAINT POSITIONS.

2.2 The Operating procedures 2.3 Cold Start Procedure
AP4300
2.2.1 Introduction The procedures described in this chapter have been categorised into two sections as listed below, (a) for operator use and (b) for use by personnel deemed competent. (a) Operator Procedures 1. Starting up the UPS: i.e. cold start (p.2-2). 2. Setting Time, Date and Language (p.2-4). 3. Switching power to the load on or off without ever switching off the UPS; includes output off switch operation (p.2-6), control panel commands (p.2-6), and commands from external systems (p.2-8). 4. Running the UPS On Battery; i.e. when the supply fails (p.2-8). (b) Competent Personnel Procedures 1. Applying Power to the UPS (p.2-10). 2. Starting up the UPS on battery (black start) (p.2-11). 3. Powering the load via the Maintenance Bypass (p.2-11). 4. Removing power from the UPS (p.2-12). These procedures must be followed without deviating from them in any way. They comprise a sequence of actions and a description of the corresponding LED indications and LCD messages that appear on the screen.
Starts up the UPS from the DE-ENERGISED or MAINTENANCE states, and takes it to the NORMAL state. WARNING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE WILL APPLY POWER TO YOUR LOAD AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS. ENSURE IT IS SAFE TO DO SO. During start-up, the LEDs indicate the current UPS state. An alarm is triggered if a fault is found, and the start up screen indicates the position to which the switch should then be set. Press the alarm reset push-button on the display panel to cancel the audible alarm, if required. Refer to Chapter 5 Troubleshooting for more information about alarms. 1. Pre-Start checks Remove the UPS front lift-off panel; see fig.2-1. The main control switch (SW1) is either in the OFF or MAINT position. If it is in the OFF position proceed as below; otherwise proceed to step 3. Ensure that the input and bypass circuit breakers and battery fuse holders are CLOSED. If they are open, refer to section 2.7. Ensure that the UPS input power supply, and bypass supply where a split bypass system is used, are switched ON externally. If they are off, refer to section 2.7. The LCD display will be displaying the start up screen, and a message indicates that the rotary switch (SW1) should be turned to TEST:
2.2.2 Fault Indications The UPS monitors its internal operation and input/output parameters continuously, and indicates any abnormal condition on the operator display panel. Abnormal conditions can be caused either by an internal malfunction within the UPS (UPS faults), or AP4300 by problems with the power supply or the load (external faults).

If testing fails at any stage, an error message appears on line 1 of the start up screen, together with an error code: TESTS ABORTED NN TURN SW1 TO MAINT ON MAINTENANCE B/P 14-02-95 14:35:00 The two hexadecimal digits (indicated by: NN) in the error message permit the cause of the test failure to be identified (see Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting). If the tests proceed satisfactorily, the converter starts up, followed by the inverter a few seconds later; the inverter LED switches on; and the UPS fans start. The SBP switches on to transfer the UPS output to bypass; the bypass LED switches on; and the inverter LED switches off. Note that the load is not supplied via the SBP at this stage because the UPS output has not been connected to the load; i.e. SW1 has not been switched to UPS. The load is still connected to the MBP. The message on the screen indicates that SW1 should be turned to UPS. TESTS PASSED TURN SW1 TO UPS ON MAINTENANCE B/P 14-02-95 14:35:00 4. Select UPS with SW1. The load is connected to the UPS output in a break free operation and is initially supplied by the static bypass line. Provided the bypass and inverter outputs are synchronised and within specified limits, and there is no overload, the load is transferred to the inverter after a 6 second delay. The bypass LED switches OFF, and the inverter LED switches ON.
5. Refit the UPS front panel. The panel is held in place by means of two angled slots cut in each side of the panel, as shown in fig.2-1. Present the panel to the UPS so that these slots hook over corresponding spigots on the cabinet frame. Let the panel drop into place. If necessary press its top edge firmly back into the cabinet. 2.3.1 NORMAL operation
During NORMAL operation LED1 is ON, to indicate that the input power supply is available (and within specification) and LED3 is ON to indicate that the UPS is supplying the load. The battery capacity bar indicates the charge in the battery. The percentage load bar indicates the proportion of the maximum load being supplied. Note: When the UPS is started from cold for the first time, the indicated battery capacity may not be as specified until the battery is fully charged; i.e. until it has been on charge for twenty-four hours.

2.5 Switching the Output Off/On
2.5.2 Operation from the UPS control panel
AP4300
This section describes how to switch the UPS output off in a way that enables it to be switched on again without repeating the full start-up sequence. The facility is provided for use as part of day-to-day operation when the UPS output is turned off only for a short period, (i.e. put into Standby mode); e.g. at the end of the working day, when the UPS is turned off overnight. The battery is kept charged up while the UPS is in Output Off mode. The UPS output can be switched off by operating SW2 on the back of the UPS, by using the controls on the UPS control panel, or by sending commands from an external system via an optional communications interface. When the output is selected OFF the microcontroller removes power to the load from the UPS output terminals by switching the inverter off; it also inhibits the static switch, but continues to monitor the UPS. When the output is set ON, the inverter switches on, and the UPS output and LED indications then return to normal. 2.5.1 Output Off Switch SW2 Caution Pressing the Output Off pushbutton will cut off power to the load. 1. To switch output off - Press SW2 and hold it pressed briefly. The bypass and inverter LEDs switch OFF, while the input LED stays ON. If the default screen is not displayed, press Escape on the LCD control panel several times until it is. The screen will show that the output is OFF: AP4300 UPS OUTPUT OFF 14-02-95 14:35:00 The DOWN arrow on the fourth line shows that another status message has also been triggered. Pressing the DOWN button displays it: AP4300 LOCALLY STOPPED 14-02-95 14:35:00 The message LOCALLY STOPPED shows that the UPS was switched off with SW2. WARNING IF THE DISPLAY DOES NOT INDICATE THAT THE UPS OUTPUT IS OFF AND LOCALLY STOPPED, THEN REMOVE THE LIFT'OFF COVER, AND TURN SW1 TO OFF. 2. To return to normal operation, use the operator panel controls (see below).
Immediate Switching The operator can switch the UPS output ON or OFF, without using the main switch, SW1, by using the controls on the LCD control panel instead. 1. Select COMMAND from the main menu display to obtain the Control screen. The cursor is at OUTPUT CONTROL: OUTPUT CONTROL TIMED OP CONTROL SHUTDOWN CONDITION BATTERY TEST 2. Press Enter; the display below appears: OUTPUT CONTROL OUTPUT OFF OUTPUT ON
To turn the UPS output off: Caution Selecting the OUTPUT OFF will cut off power to the load. With the cursor set at OUTPUT OFF, press Enter; the display asks for confirmation: OUTPUT CONTROL OUTPUT OFF OUTPUT ON PRESS TO CONFIRM Press Enter a second time. The inverter LED switches off as the inverter shuts down, and the load loses power. Press Escape several times to return to the default window. The message: AP4300 UPS OUTPUT OFF 14-02-95 14:35:00 will appear. the UPS will stay in this state, with the battery on charge, until either the UPS output is switched on, or the input power supply fails.

Status display When the default screen is next displayed after the UPS output has been switched off by an external command, the status will be shown on line 3 of the screen; e.g. after a command from an external system to switch the output off, the default screen shows: AP4300 UPS OUTPUT OFF 14-02-95 14:35:00 The UPS will stay in this state with the battery on charge until either it is switched on, or the input power supply fails.
General The UPS output can be switched on or off by means of commands from an external system via an optional SNMP card or an RS232 interface connected to the communications board in the UPS. These are described in Chapter 4 - Optional Equipment. The user can set how the UPS will respond when it receives an external shutdown command - see below. Shutdown Condition The Shutdown Condition setting determines what the state of the UPS must be before it will switch the output off when an operator sends a shutdown command. One of two conditions can be selected: 1. On Battery - The UPS will switch the output off only if it is running on battery when the operator sends the shutdown command. 2. At Any Time - The UPS will switch the output off at any time, (i.e. it can be running on the input power supply or on battery power) when the operator sends the shutdown command. Procedure With the COMMANDS menu on the display. Set the cursor at SHUTDOWN CONDITION, and press Enter. The screen shown below will appear: SHUTDOWN CONDITION ON BATTERY AT ANY TIME

Input Power Supply Failure
2.6.1 General When the input power supply fails, the UPS runs On Battery. You should consider shutting down your load in a controlled manner e.g. save data. The way in which the UPS responds to a input power supply failure depends on whether it is on-load or off-load when the input power supply failure occurs. 2.6.2 Input Supply Failure when On Load If the UPS loses its input power supply the amber batteryon-load indicator (LED 4) will illuminate; the warning horn will sound a single half second long tone every 10 seconds and cannot be cancelled. On a common bypass system, LED2 will flash, indicating a loss of the bypass supply, and LED 1 will switch off. Note: For units with a separate bypass supply, LED 2 will not flash while the bypass supply is present, but will be OFF. The battery time remaining, at the present load, is shown on the second line of the LCD panel as follows: AP4300 TIME 03:50:40 UPS ON BATTERY 14-02-95 14:35:00
As the battery discharges, the battery time decreases, and the battery capacity bar LEDs extinguish progressively from the right; each LED represents 20% of capacity. When the battery Move the cursor to the option required by using the up/down autonomy time remaining falls below a user set value (set during pushbuttons. Select the ON BATTERY option if the UPS output must commissioning), the warning horn will beep every 5 secs. only be switched off when it is running on battery power; select If the input power supply returns before the battery time expires the AT ANY TIME option if the UPS output must be switched off the battery charger switches on automatically, and the UPS when the UPS is running on either the input power or battery returns to normal operation after a short time delay. power. When the battery becomes discharged, the UPS will attempt to After selecting the required option, press Enter. The display asks transfer the load to bypass. If the bypass is available (split bypass for confirmation: system) the transfer will succeed. If no bypass is available (common bypass system) the UPS turns the output off which will also remove power from the control circuits. SHUTDOWN CONDITION ON BATTERY AT ANY TIME PRESS TO CONFIRM

Re-starting from a input power supply failure on load Common bypass system Autorestart Enabled (default):- An Automatic Restart facility ensures that a UPS with a common bypass will automatically restart if the input power supply returns after the autonomy time expires, provided the control switches have not been operated in the meantime. The facility can be disabled during commissioning if necessary. Caution Check the battery capacity after each discharge. If the battery has been heavily discharged the UPS will shut down without warning, with loss of power to the load, if a second power failure occurs whilst the autonomy time is zero. A unique feature of the AP4300 permits the operator to observe the battery condition by referring to the BATTERY screen. From the main menu window align the cursor with STATUS and press the ENTER key. Select BATTERY on the screen that is displayed and press the ENTER key. The state of the battery will be shown in the following form: BATTERY INFORMATION VOLTS CAP % CHARGER 420 0 ON TIME 00:00:00 2.6.3

Input Supply Failure when Off Load
If the input supply fails after the UPS output has been switched off - i.e. an OUTPUT OFF message is displayed on the default screen - the amber battery-on-load indicator (LED 4) will illuminate; the warning horn will sound; and LED2 will respond in the same way as when there is a Failure On Load, described above. The default screen shows the autonomy time remaining, on the second line: AP4300 TIME 03:50:40 UPS ON BATTERY 14-02-95 14:35:54 The autonomy time slowly counts down as battery power is consumed. When a period of fifteen minutes has elapsed after the input supply first failed, the control system shuts down the UPS to conserve battery power. The LCD screen goes blank and the LEDs extinguish. Re-starting from a failure off load When the input supply is restored, the screen below will be seen on the display: AP4300 UPS OUTPUT OFF 14-02-95 15:51:00

3.2.1
Installation Considerations
Introduction
WARNING Do not switch on electrical power to the UPS equipment or operate any of its switches before it has been commissioned by an authorised engineer. Failure to observe this condition will invalidate any implied warranty. WARNING - Battery hazards Special care should be taken when working with the batteries associated with this equipment. When connected together, the battery terminal voltage will exceed 380Vdc and is potentially lethal. Eye protection should be worn to prevent injury from accidental electrical arcs. If a battery leaks electrolyte, or is otherwise physically damaged, it should be placed in a container resistant to sulphuric acid and disposed of in accordance with local regulations. If electrolyte comes into contact with the skin the affected area should be washed immediately. WARNING THE UPS IS HEAVY AND IS FITTED WITH CASTORS TAKE CARE TO PREVENT MOVEMENT WHEN UNBOLTING THE EQUIPMENT FROM ITS SHIPPING PALLET. ENSURE SUFFICIENT PERSONNEL TRAINED IN MOVING HEAVY EQUIPMENT ARE AVAILABLE WHEN REMOVING THE UPS FROM ITS SHIPPING PALLET. REFER TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN SECTION 3 - REMOVAL FROM SHIPPING PALLET. WARNING Take care that the UPS does not tip over when it is being moved. The position of its centre of gravity is shown in Fig.3-1. WARNING OPERATION OF THE CONTROL SWITCH (SW1) FROM THE UPS (ON) POSITION THROUGH TO THE OFF POSITION PASSES THROUGH BOTH THE TEST AND MAINT POSITIONS. THE INTERNAL MAINTENANCE BYPASS SYSTEM IS THEREFORE ACTIVATED DURING THIS OPERATION. IF THE UPS HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN SWITCHED OFF BY EITHER THE LOCAL OUTPUT OFF SWITCH (SW2) OR BY A REMOTE STOP PUSHBUTTON SWITCH, TURNING THE CONTROL SWITCH (SW1) FROM THE UPS (ON) POSITION TO THE OFF POSITION WILL ACTIVATE THE INTERNAL BYPASS SYSTEM AND THEREFORE APPLY POWER SUPPLIES TO THE LOAD. IN ORDER TO AVOID ACCIDENTALLY APPLYING POWER SUPPLIES TO THE LOAD VIA THE INTERNAL BYPASS SYSTEM, ISOLATE THE POWER SUPPLIES TO THE BYPASS SYSTEM BEFORE TURNING THE CONTROL SWITCH (SW1) THROUGH THE TEST OR MAINT POSITIONS.
These installation instructions provide all the information needed for positioning the UPS (including environmental requirements), for fitting the batteries, and for connecting the input and output power cables. This equipment complies with the requirements of the EMC directive 89/336/EEC and the published technical standards. Continued compliance requires installation in accordance with these instructions and the use of manufacturer approved accessories. The external communication cabling assemblies must be of the shielded type. The shield must be grounded at the UPS end. 3.2.2 On Delivery The UPS can be supplied either with or without batteries installed. Battery installation instructions are given later in this chapter for use when the UPS is delivered without batteries. Carry out a thorough external inspection to verify that the UPS is complete and free of damage. Report any damage to the shipper immediately. Remove and store the packaging. 3.2.3 Environment The UPS may be installed in a computer room or other large office environment or in a general plant equipment room. It must be located in a cool, dry, dust-free environment with sufficient ventilation to keep its ambient temperature below 40oC (104oF). (Note: Operating in temperatures above 25oC (77oF) will reduce battery life). Its environment must also be free of excessive moisture (i.e. no water condensation), flammable vapours, chemical fumes or corrosive gasses or liquids. The specification, in Appendix A gives details of the UPS heat emission. If necessary, the room should be equipped with a ventilation system to assist cooling. A suitable air filtration system should be used for the incoming air where the UPS is to operate in a dirty environment. 3.2.4 Position The UPS is force-cooled with the aid of internal cooling fans. Cooling air enters from the back and from around the base of the

The UPS will be delivered on a pallet (Fig.3-3). It is secured to its pallet by means of three brackets. Two (three on 15/20kVA units) screws fasten the front of the UPS to a front bracket (Fig.3-4), and an anchor bolt screws up from beneath the pallet base board into each of two jacking feet brackets (Fig.3-5). There is one jacking foot on each side of, and towards the rear of the UPS. Two wood blocks bolted to the pallet, one in front of, and one behind the UPS, prevent movement of the UPS on the pallet. The 15/20kVA units also have side guide rails fitted.
Figure 3-2 Locating the UPS Jacking feet UPS, and is exhausted through a ventilation grill located at the top of the back panel; there must be a minimum gap of 300mm behind the equipment to allow adequate air flow. See figure 3-2. Maintenance requires unhindered access to the UPS right hand side, and you should allow for a clearance there of approximately 1000mm. To aid manoeuvrability on all models and for ventilation on the 15/20kVA models, a clearance of 100mm is required on the left hand side. Being mounted on castors, the UPS can be installed without side access provided its input and output power cables are held in suitably flexible conduits. The UPS can then be pulled forward to gain access for servicing. 3.2.5 Weight considerations With batteries fitted, the 7.5kVA and 10kVA models weigh 250kg, and the 15kVA and 20kVA models weigh 432kg. This will make it difficult to move the equipment over certain floor surfaces (e.g. carpet pile) with the batteries fitted. This should be taken into account when preparing for its installation, and when deciding whether or not to pull the UPS forward for servicing. If point loading forces must be considered, note that the weight of the UPS acts at six wheels and two jacking feet. 3.2.6 Extended battery option The UPS uses Valve regulated batteries which are housed internally. However if the installation includes an Extended Battery option, the additional batteries are contained in a separate battery cabinet which is attached to the left hand side of the main equipment. Batteries are fitted into this cabinet from the front, so it is only necessary to provide the 100mm clearance on the left as stated above for the UPS. Detailed installation instructions for the extended battery cabinet are provided with the fitting instructions supplied in the kit.

3.5 Final Positioning.

Important: If the intention is to install the UPS in a position where it will be moved away from nearby furniture etc. in order to gain access for servicing purposes, its power cables must be of sufficient length to permit this. When it is in its working position the surplus cable must be stowed safely beneath the equipment. 3.6.3 Input supply protection.
1. Wheel the UPS near to its final position but leave adequate room around it for work. 2. The brackets (2 off) which secure the UPS to its shipping pallet also serve as jacking feet to prevent the UPS from moving once it is in position. Important: The jacking feet support a large proportion of the equipment weight when the feet are screwed down tightly. 3. Move the UPS to its final position and screw down both jacking feet as far as possible. Important: If the installation was shipped with batteries fitted and includes an extended' battery option or remote' battery option these should be connected at this point following the appropriate instructions supplied with these options.
WARNING THIS UPS DOES NOT INCORPORATE AUTOMATIC BACKFEED PROTECTION. A WARNING LABEL MUST BE FITTED TO ALL PRIMARY POWER ISOLATORS STATING: ISOLATE UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE WORKING ON THIS CIRCUIT All supplies to the UPS must be provided with three phase power isolators, each of which can break all its supply lines to the UPS simultaneously; a split bypass system will require two isolators. The isolator(s) must be located within two metres of the UPS. Note: The UPS internal input and bypass circuit breakers are type C (IEC 898). The overload characteristics of the input isolators supplying these circuit breakers must be selected accordingly. Refer to table 3-1 in order to choose site supply fuses, circuit breakers and power isolators appropriate to the UPS current ratings. On start-up the UPS will take a half cycle inrush current of 7 to 8 times the rated current. This must be taken into account when selecting the overload protection device at the input mains supply distribution point. To avoid random tripping on start-up, we recommend that the input mains supply is protected with an MCB capable of withstanding this initial inrush. (An MCB specified as being either TYPE 4 (British Standard) or rated to CURVE D (IEC 898) is suitable for this purpose.)

3.6.1
Connecting the UPS Power Cables

General introduction
Power cables connect to screw terminals on a terminal block which is located behind the power compartment front cover plate see Fig.3-20. They enter the UPS at the front, from beneath, and pass through a gland plate which covers an aperture in the cabinet floor. Cables used for all input and output distribution should enter the UPS via flexible metal conduit which must be terminated at the gland-plate on the UPS. The gland-plate must first be removed and drilled to suit the glands or bushes for the cables. Ensure that the glands are sized so that they hold the cables securely. If the intention is to run the cables to the UPS above the floor, instead of from below, then the cable must be carried in a flexible metal conduit, and a suitable 60 or 90 elbow must be used where the cable enters the UPS. A block diagram of the electrical circuit is shown in Fig.3-29. 3.6.2 Cable sizing consideration The UPS must be installed in compliance with local regulations. Before cabling-up, careful consideration must be given to selecting the appropriate size power cables and input circuit protection device see table 3-1 below. Note: The maximum cable size that can be connected to the UPS power terminal blocks is 10mm Input / Output cables The UPS requires a 380V/415V three phase input supply and produces a 380V/415V three phase output. The input, output and bypass cables are all rated the same. Bypass cables The bypass supply can either be connected to the UPS input supply (common bypass) or it can be linked to a separate three phase power source (split bypass). Figures 3-25 to 3-28 show these configurations. Neutral cables It is important to size the neutral cable according to the type of load connected. Some loads can give a neutral current equal to twice the line current.

Neutral linking Figure 3-23 shows various input alternatives and the arrangement of the bypass links and specifically the neutral link. The upper row of drawings show the 7.5/10kVA configurations and the lower row shows the 15/20kVA configurations. The UPS power train does not require a neutral input, however, it is essential that the bypass has a neutral as this is used not only when the system is in bypass but as a reference by the UPS power train. The linking should be arranged as follows:Figure A Shows a standard common bypass system with a 4 wire and earth input supply - all links should be fitted. Figure B Shows a Split bypass system with a 3 wire and earth input supply to the UPS power train and a 4 wire and earth input supply to the bypass - the U, V & W links should be removed; the neutral link can be left in position. Figure C Shows a split bypass system with a 4 wire and earth input supply to the UPS power train and a 3 wire and earth input supply to the bypass - the U, V & W links should be removed; it is essential that the neutral links are left in position Figure D Shows a split bypass system with a 4 wire and earth input supply to the UPS power train and a 4 wire and earth input supply to the bypass - the U, V & W links should be removed; The neutral link between N1 and N2 should also be removed, on the 7.5/10kVA unit this would involve removing the three terminal link and removing with cutters the N1/N2 link and then refitting the link onto N2 and N3 terminals.

Connections to Extended and Remote battery cabinets The black and the red connectors on the leads from the external battery cabinet must be connected to their corresponding connectors on the leads from the terminals directly below the battery fuses, labelled - and + in figs.3-24 & 3-26 i.e. black to black and red to red. The Extended Battery cabinet contains fuses in both its positive and negative output lines. They are held in the same type of fuse holders as those used in the UPS FS1 and FS2 positions. This provides protection and enables the Extended Batteries to be isolated independently from the internal batteries for servicing etc. The terminal for the negative connection from the Extended/Remote battery is connected directly to the UPS internal DC busbar negative rail. The terminal for the positive connection from the Extended/Remote battery is connected through FS2, and is therefore connected to the UPS internal DC busbar positive rail via FS2. FS2 therefore carries both the internal and extended or remote battery currents. The batteries are connected in this way for safety reasons; when the UPS battery fuse holders (FS1/FS2) are opened, the positive terminals of both the internal and extended/remote batteries are disconnected from the DC busbar. Full fitting instructions are provided with the option pack. The UPS internal batteries are protected by fuses FS1 & FS2. The optional Extended battery units by its own fuses FS1 and FS2, a Remote battery must be equipped with equivalent fuses to protect the external batteries. Where a Remote Battery option is used, an isolator and overload protection device must be located as close to the batteries as possible.

All options are supplied complete with installation and operator instructions.
The UPS has an Auto-restart facility fitted as standard. If this capability is not required, the commissioning engineer will inhibit it by setting a parameter during commissioning. 4.2.2 Common Bypass Links The input terminals to the rectifier are separate from the static bypass line terminals, so that different power supplies can be used for the two inputs. This arrangement is referred to as split bypass. An alternative arrangement, referred to as common bypass, where the corresponding phases on these two sets of input terminals are connected by means of links, is used where only one power supply is available. The UPS is supplied with the common bypass links fitted. The connecting links for the common bypass must be removed during installation if a split bypass arrangement is required - refer to the Chapter 3. 4.2.3 Remote stop A remote stop circuit can be connected to an RJ12 connector on the inner panel behind the right hand detachable (lift-off) panel on the front of the UPS. The remote stop kit consists of a 10 metre length cable with a RJ12 connector on one end and a junction box for connection to the users normally closed switch on the other end. When selected open the switch provides a remote output OFF control. 4.2.4 Hot Standby Configuration The AP4300 can be used in a HOT STANDBY to provide increased security for the load. One UPS is connected in the Common input/Bypass Configuration, and is used to supply a second unit which is connected in a split bypass configuration.

RS232 Interface and External Relay Board
Introduction The COMMUNICATIONS BOARD is fitted as standard and provides two sets of volt free relay contacts, an interface for a set of direct action signals conforming to RS232D voltage levels, and a local RS232D serial port. The local RS232D serial port permits signals about the state of the UPS to be transmitted to a wide range of computers, which can then transmit control signals back to the UPS when required. The computers may be located close to the UPS or remotely. Communication with computers over short distances is achieved by connecting them directly to the RS232 interface. Communication with remotely located computers, i.e. over greater distances, requires the use of a modem and telephone line. Note: When employing the communications features of the AP4300, SiteNet software and cable kits are available for use with most operating systems. When using the communications connector, only Liebert software and connecting cables should be used. If using other than Liebert cable or software, only terminals 2, 3 and 7 (send, receive, ground) should be connected. Use of the other terminals may change the operational state of the UPS or cause a shutdown. Communications with the UPS is not guaranteed with unauthorised software and cables. Note: Any connection to a telecommunications network must be via an approved modem complying with clause 6 of BS EN 60950:1994 or BS EN 41003:1997. The relay contacts on the COMMUNICATIONS board permit the status of the UPS and major UPS alarms to be transmitted to other devices such as an external alarm panel located remote to the unit, or to the power supply monitoring features of the *IBM AS400 computer systems, *Novell, *UNIX or other common operating systems. * Registered Trade Marks

Direct Action signals(RS232D interface) From UPS The direct action signals are used by the UPS to indicate a change of state to a connected system (monitoring signals), and by the system to control the UPS (control signals). The signal excursions will conform to the RS232D standard; i.e. a high is a voltage level between +3 and +15 volts and a low is a voltage level between -3 and -15 volts. Description of the Monitoring & Control signals Monitoring signals (i.e. sent by the UPS to an external system) Power Fail (Active High - pin 13) This output is normally held at an RS232 low level and is set to an RS232 high level if the utility supply fails. Low Battery (Active High - pin 21) This output is normally held at an RS232 low level and is set to an RS232 high level if the battery voltage drops to a pre-set voltage level. This indicates a limited time before the UPS shuts down. Control signals (i.e. sent to the UPS by an external system): ON/OFF (High/Low - pin 14) An RS232 high level signal on this pin will turn the UPS on (if it is off), and an RS232 low level signal will turn the UPS off (if it is on). If the UPS is ON and the interface cable is disconnected the UPS will remain ON. If the UPS is OFF and the interface cable is disconnected the UPS will remain OFF.

Shutdown (Active High - pin 19) An RS232 high level on this input causes the UPS to shutdown. The utility must have failed and the signal must be present for 2 seconds. Disconnecting the interface cable will not cause the UPS to shut down. Shutdown (Active Low - pin 12) An RS232 low level on this input causes the UPS to shutdown. The utility must have failed and the signal must be present for 2 seconds. Disconnecting the Interface cable will not cause the UPS to shut down. Note: The two shutdown signals are logically OR'd within the UPS; either one of these must be present for 2 seconds before they shutdown the UPS. The conditions for the shutdown are set by the user on the UPS control panel and can be selected from: a) b) Shutdown the UPS if the utility has failed and the UPS is on battery. Shutdown the UPS whatever its condition. Cable connection Procedure

4.3.2 SNMP Interface 4.3.3

Interface Software
An SNMP interface is available to allow the UPS to be used with network systems. The AP4300 Ethernet SNMP option is equipped with two 25 way female D type connectors, one RJ12 connector and one RJ45 connector. The RJ12 connector, labelled SETUP, provides a serial (RS232) interface to the SNMP board and is used to set up the SNMP board parameters. The RJ45 connector, labelled NETWORK, provides a twisted pair interface to the network. The DB25 connectors are labelled COMM'S and RELAY, the action of the relays in the RELAY connector duplicates the action of the relays in the COMM'S connector, the COMM'S connector also contains all the relevant interface signals, as described below. Relay Section The relay section provides volt free contact closures which are necessary for connection to AS400 minicomputers and/or connection to Novell networks. To fulfil all the necessary requirements four relays are used, each having a double pole change-over contact. These relays will convey information on: ON UPS (AS400 Interface) ON BATTERY (AS400 and NOVELL interface) LOW BATTERY (AS400 and NOVELL interface) ON BYPASS (AS400 Interface) Control/Monitoring signal section The direct action signals are used by the UPS to signal change of state and by the attached system to control the UPS. The signal functions are: POWER FAIL (from UPS, active high) LOW BATTERY (from UPS, active high) SHUTDOWN (ACTIVE HIGH) (to UPS) SHUTDOWN (ACTIVE LOW) (to UPS) ON/OFF (to UPS, high/low) The signal excursions will conform to the RS232D standard, i.e. a high is a voltage level between +3 and +15 volts and a low is a voltage level between -3 and -15 volts.
Both SiteNet 1 and SiteNet 2 are available for all major operating platforms. Please contact your dealer for further information. SiteNet 1 - (Shutdown Management) SiteNet 1 prevents unexpected server shutdowns by automatically monitoring UPS activity and closing down protected devices if the input power supply remains off or the battery back-up becomes low. Connection is via a proprietary cable that runs between the UPS and serial port on the server. When the input supply fails SiteNet 1 notifies the users that the protected equipment is running on battery power, providing an on-screen count down of the time remaining. If the input power supply returns the shutdown sequence ends and the users are notified. SiteNet 1 can be programmed to dial out on a modem and notify upon defined events such as input power failure. SiteNet 1 also offers real time monitoring of power events so you can monitor and analyse recent and past power history. SiteNet 2 -Power Surveillance and shutdown SiteNet 2 provides ongoing monitoring and control, via a two way graphical interface, between network servers and the systems UPS. Under normal conditions. SiteNet 2 provides real-time monitoring of power flow and critical power data such as voltage and battery temperature. The UPS status can be displayed in three different formats: system animation, power flow and metering. The Event Manager allows you to customise the monitoring events and pre-program responses to power problems. SiteNet 2 can, for example be programmed to broadcast multiple user alerts, and provide a countdown timer so users can complete back-ups and disconnect from the server before the automatic shutdown occurs. The software can also dial a pager to alert network administrators, shut down the server, and log events. All this can be accomplished from a single location. This capability includes scheduled on/off control, the initiation of diagnostic routines, or down loading power event history for analysis. These routines can be performed with a user command, or executed automatically according to a pre-set schedule. SiteNet SNMP Manager SiteNet SNMP Manager is a snap-in application for your network management software. SNMP Manager seamlessly incorporates the Liebert UPS with your existing network management system to provide user friendly screens to monitor and control power. SiteNet SNMP Manager gives you everything you need to oversee network power with ease and precision.

4.4 Extended Battery Options

RFI ( EMC ) CONSIDERATIONS To reduce the risk of radio frequency interference to other parts of the installation external batteries and associated wiring should be shielded. The shielding for the battery can be either a steel cabinet or a rack cladded with steel panels wherever practical. Whichever is used, all panels should be bonded together and to earth for safety. In addition to the safety earth a separate earth conductor from the battery enclosure to the UPS should be fitted to provide the lowest impedance path possible to RFI noise. Wiring should be shielded by conduit , trunking or the cabling used must be screened. Where these recommendations are not implemented a minimum radius of 10 metres to any sensitive electronic equipment is recommended. Safety Labelling Warning labels should be fixed to the UPS to warn of an external battery, unless by its placement it is obvious to the personnel working on the UPS where isolation is available. The external battery enclosure must have a label on the outside to warn the Fire Authorities that lead-acid batteries are contained within and also advise the voltage level inside the enclosure. VENTILATION Adequate ventilation of battery enclosures must be provided to disperse any build up of gases vented by the battery. Weight Ensure that the battery installation weight does not exceed loading capacity of the floor.
The Extended Battery option is a separate cabinet containing further batteries that can be connected to the UPS to increase its total battery capacity and therefore the system autonomy time. 4.4.1 Extended Battery The battery cabinet for this option is of the same height and depth as the UPS, and is attached to the left hand side of the UPS. Up to 4 battery cabinets can be connected to the AP4310 UPS and upto 8 battery cabinets to the AP4320 UPS. The extra batteries can increase the autonomy time by up to approximately 1 hour. The battery cabinet can contain either one 11Ah set of batteries or two 11Ah sets of batteries

This option is similar to the extended battery option, but in this case the additional battery capacity is much larger, taking the autonomy time up to approximately 8 hours. Due to the size of the additional batteries they are housed in a much larger cabinet (or on a special battery rack) which is located away from the UPS. Due to the numerous battery configurations available for this option it is not possible to cover every installation possibility in this manual, please consult your dealer for advice. The following points should be taken into consideration when planning your installation. Battery Isolation And Protection External batteries must be fused in both positive and negative lines as close to the battery terminals as practical. Fuses shall have a voltage rating suitable for operation at 440V, the d.c. level of the battery. A suitable off load isolator must be fitted at the battery end to allow isolation by the service engineer . Where fuses can be safely withdrawn, they may act as the means of isolation. Fused isolators or circuit breakers may also be used. The cable rating between the battery and UPS shall be sized to give a maximum volt drop of 2V at currents stated in table below, irrespective of the battery autonomy time for the application.

Introduction
Table 5.1 - Alarm sound identification
Alarm Type 1 2 3 4 5.2.2 Description of Sound Priority
WARNING UNDER FAILURE CONDITIONS, THE UPS WILL AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFER TO THE INTERNAL BYPASS SYSTEM. POWER SUPPLIES TO THE LOAD WILL BE MAINTAINED EVEN WHEN THE UPS IS INDICATING OUTPUT OFF. THE UPS STATUS ON THE CONTROL & DISPLAY PANEL REFERS TO THE OUTPUT OF THE STATIC INVERTER RATHER THAN THE COMPLETE UPS. ALWAYS CHECK FOR A VOLTAGE AT THE OUTPUT TERMINALS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE THE UPS OR THE LOAD. Problems indicated on the UPS can be divided into two groups: 1. External faults: i.e. abnormalities in the conditions in which the UPS operates, and which the user can usually resolve: e.g. input power supply failure, ambient temperature too high. 2. Internal Faults: i.e. defects which develop within the UPS itself, and which need specialist attention. The highly integrated design of the AP4300 UPS prevents the user from curing internal faults. As soon as any abnormal conditions or faults are detected, the UPS automatically takes action, if necessary, to protect the load and/or the UPS itself; at the same time it triggers alarm signals on the operator display panel. The horn sounds and/or LEDs switch to indicate the nature and urgency of the alarm. Text messages indicate the nature of the fault on the default screen when this is displayed on the LCD Display Panel. Charts at the end of this chapter enable the user to interpret these messages, and so identify which problems can be resolved by the user and which require attention from a UPS specialist. The UPS microcontroller board contains a battery-backed memory which keeps a record ( Event History) of previous alarms. This is for service personnel to use when establishing the original cause of a fault. WARNING SOME OF THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE CHARTS AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER INVOLVE CHECKING INTERNAL FUSES. THIS SHOULD BE UNDERTAKEN (AFTER THE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN) BY COMPETENT PERSONNEL ONLY WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LAY-OUT AND OPERATION OF THE EQUIPMENT AND FULLY CONVERSANT WITH THE AREAS OF POTENTIAL HAZARD.

The meanings, and the colour of each of the LEDs on the operator panel shown in fig.5-1 are summarised in the table below. If the UPS input power supply is available (and within specification) and the UPS is operating normally, only green LEDs should be lit, as described in Chapter 1 - General Description. LED1 (input supply available) and LED3 (load on inverter) indicate correct operation on the module mimic; the number of green LEDs lit on the autonomy bar indicates the state of charge of the battery; and the number of green LEDs illuminated on the percentage load bar depends on the load on the most heavily loaded phase. After the detection of an alarm condition, LEDs switch on or off, or flash on/off, according to the nature of the fault as shown in the table below.

Troubleshooting Procedure
Fault Records
When a UPS fault occurs, first observe and record the UPS Status parameter values, i.e. the present values of the UPS bypass & output voltage and current and other electrical parameters. Refer to Chapter 6 - Maintenance for details of the procedure. Details of any loads being started or shed at the time that the fault occurred should also be recorded. 5.3.2 Alarm Interpretation and Corrective action The right hand column of the charts on the next five pages shows how the messages that appear on the default screen should be interpreted, and also provides information on what action to take. Status messages are listed in alphabetical order in Table 5.2 Interpretation of Status Messages; if several status messages are active and you are unable to identify the reason, then seek immediate assistance. Interpretations of Error Messages are given in Tables 5.3 & 5.4-; if you are unsure as to how to undertake the actions detailed, or, as in most cases, you are advised to seek qualified assistance, contact the site engineer, or the UPS supplier for further advice. WARNING UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU REMOVE THE UPS COVER PANELS OTHER THAN THE FRONT LIFT-OFF COVER. THIS EQUIPMENT CONTAINS POTENTIALLY LETHAL VOLTAGES EVEN WHEN IT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE INPUT SUPPLY. Caution If a problem cannot be resolved by taking the actions given, then fully trained assistance should be sought immediately. Do not under any circumstances make internal circuit adjustments or interfere with the circuit boards in any way. WARNING IF THE NOMINAL SET INPUT SUPPLY VOLTAGE EXCEEDS 120% THE UPS WILL SHUT DOWN OPERATION. DO NOT SWITCH TO MAINTENANCE BYPASS OR YOU MAY CAUSE CONNECTED EQUIPMENT TO BE DAMAGED.

AMBIENT TOO HOT
Interpretation & Actions

Ambient temperature has exceeded its preset limit. This is a warning that the ambient temperature is getting too high. If it continues to rise the UPS will transfer to bypass, if available, and shut down if not. 1. Check that UPS room ventilation system is operating correctly. 2. Check there is no obstruction of the inlet and outlet grills of the UPS and that there is sufficient clearance around the unit. 3. Seek qualified assistance if no cause can be identified.
BATTERY CHARGE FAULT There is a problem with the battery charger. The batteries may be charging at the wrong voltage, and possibly not at all. On battery operation after an input supply failure is still possible, but the batteries will not be recharged when the input supply returns. Autonomy time will therefore not return to normal. Seek qualified assistance. BATTERY ON TEST BATTERY TOO HOT A battery test, initiated at the UPS control panel, is in progress. Battery temp is above recommended maximum for correct operation. Whilst in this state, the battery charger will not operate. Check battery ventilation system is operating correctly. The battery voltage is greater than the set limit, probably because a faulty battery was fitted when a battery string was replaced. Check the voltages on each tray/battery block and replace any found defective.
BATTERY VOLTS HIGH
BATTERY VOLTS TOO LOW This alarm will usually appear when the UPS is operating on batteries under an input supply failure condition. It warns that the end of battery autonomy time is near (i.e. is less than 10% of nominal). NB: At the end of the autonomy time the load will transfer to the bypass supply if available; i.e. with a split bypass system, in which case LED2 will be off. If the bypass supply is not available (e.g. with a common bypass system) LED2 will be flashing. Shut down your load in a controlled manner because power to the load will soon be lost. CONVERTER HEATSINK TOO HOT The temperature of the converter heat sink has risen above its warning value. If the temperature continues to rise, the UPS will transfer to bypass, if available and shut down if not. 1. Ensure unrestricted airflow around the unit - e.g. no blocked ventilation grills. 2. Check fan operation. 3. Check for AMBIENT OVERHEAT alarm indication and reduce ambient temperature if necessary. 4. Reduce the UPS load if excessive. 5. If (1) to (4) are satisfactory seek qualified assistance. May appear when servicing the UPS. For use only by service engineers. The inverter has developed a fault and transferred the load to bypass. 1. Observe any other alarms (e.g. excessive load or overtemperature) and take necessary actions. 2. Seek qualified assistance if no problems are found. A fault has occurred while the load was on bypass which transferred the load to the inverter. 1. Observe any other alarms and take necessary actions. 2. Seek qualified assistance. Battery voltage has fallen below an acceptable minimum value. The alarm usually appears when the UPS has been operating on batteries under a input power failure condition and indicates that the battery autonomy time has ended. The load will have transferred to the bypass supply (if available - i.e. a split bypass system). Otherwise, (common bypass system) the UPS will have shut down and power to the load will have been lost. Alternatively, it may be because of a battery fuse failure or a charger fault. 1. Check battery fuses FS1 and FS2 - refer to paragraph 5.5. 2. If fuses have failed, or there is a charger fault, seek qualified assistance.
DIAGNOSTIC LINK ON EMERGENCY TRANSFER TO BYPASS EMERGENCY TRANSFER TO INVERTER END OF DISCHARGE
INVERTER HEATSINK TOO The temperature of the inverter heat sink has risen above its warning value. If the temperature HOT continues to rise, the UPS will transfer to bypass, if available and shut down if not. Carry out the checks given above for converter heatsink too hot (table 5.2).

Status Message
LOCALLY STOPPED

SW2 on the back of the UPS has been pressed and consequently the UPS output has been switched off. Switch the output on when required, if it is safe to do so; follow the operating instructions in chapter 2. The load is too large for the UPS to supply for an indefinite period. The time for which the UPS can support the overload will depend on the magnitude of the overload - the greater the overload, the shorter the time interval. If this time is exceeded, a transfer to bypass will be performed if the bypass is available. If it is not, the unit will shut down. Refer to the Output Overload Ability information given under Output Data in the AP4300 Series Specification at the end of this manual. 1. Check for an overload and shed any excess load. 2. If load is not indicated as being excessive, or the indications persist, seek qualified assistance. The output voltage has become too high due to an inverter fault, and has exceeded the permitted level. The load will transfer to bypass if the condition persists. Seek assistance if condition persists. A short circuit fault exists on one or more of the output lines. 1. Correct the short circuit. 2. If no short circuit is found on the output lines, seek qualified assistance. The phase sequence of the supply on the power cables connected to the bypass line is incorrect. This fault should only appear either when first starting up after installation, or after repairs to the bypass power source when phases have been reconnected incorrectly after a cable break. Disconnect power from the bypass line and correct the wiring. Your local service agent's representative must be present when first starting up your UPS system. Either missing or low input power supply and battery discharged. Check the input supply voltage and if this is found to be correct then seek qualified assistance. The remote STOP button (option) has been pressed and consequently the UPS output has been switched off: 1. Determine if remote stop has really been operated. 2. Check continuity of remote stop line. Battery is discharging -e.g. because the input power supply is absent and the battery has taken over. The five autonomy LEDs switch off progressively from the right as the time remaining before battery shutdown reduces. 1. Check that the input supply is present. 2. Check the UPS input circuit breakers (CB4, CB5 & CB6) - refer to paragraph 5.5. 3. If (1) and (2) are satisfactory then seek assistance. The load has been transferred to the bypass supply due to a fault or status malfunction: Note: The UPS will periodically transfer to bypass to check the integrity of the static bypass circuitry. It should remain in this state for a maximum of 6 seconds after which a re-transfer to inverter will take place. Observe other indications (e.g. excessive load or overtemperature) and take appropriate actions. The UPS is active but its output has been switched OFF using one of the methods described in chapter 2. 1. Check if the UPS output has been turned OFF - e.g. from a remote location. If it has, find out the reason and then turn it on when it is safe to do so. Refer to the operating instructions in chapter 2. If the output does not switch on, turn SW1 back to MAINT and restart the UPS. Refer to the operating instructions in chapter 2. 2. If the above actions do not overcome the problem, seek qualified assistance. Temperature of one or more of the UPS internal sensors has reached its fail level. The UPS will transfer to bypass immediately, if the bypass supply is available. 1. Check if there are any other status messages indicating excessive temperature by scrolling through them on the default screen. 2. Carry out the checks given above for converter heatsink too hot (table 5.2).

Routine Maintenance Checks by the Operator

Introduction
The UPS uses solid state components with the only moving parts being the cooling fans, switches and relays, so it is essentially maintenance free. However the checks in this chapter will help to maintain the reliability of the UPS module and battery. We recommend an annual service of the unit by an engineer approved by the manufacturer, preferably under a service contract. Scheduled maintenance requirements, beyond ensuring that the UPS remains cool and clean, are minimal. However, a well documented program of regular inspection will help to ensure optimum performance and also help to detect certain minor problems before they develop into a major fault. 6.1.2 Checks at weekly intervals 1. Ensure that the ventilation space around the base and the back of the UPS is not obstructed. 2. Check the function of all the LEDs and pushbuttons on the panel by carrying out a Front Panel Test. Press each pushbutton in turn for two seconds. All the LEDs should switch on and the audible alarm should sound with each pushbutton. Cancel the alarm and record the result. If the default screen is on the display when a test is made, the top line of the screen will indicate the UPS type in the following format: AP43XX NN.N ii/oo b NO ALARMS 10:15:00

6.2 Annual Maintenance Checks by Service Engineer
Batteries
AP4300
6.2.1 Introduction These checks entail working inside the UPS, and should be undertaken only by a Liebert trained engineer who is familiar with the UPS operation and lay-out, and who is aware of the potential hazards. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS When working on the UPS remember that it will contain live voltages at ALL TIMES unless it has been isolated from the external input power supply, and the internal batteries (and external batteries, if fitted) have been disconnected. It is essential that the safety and precautionary notes contained throughout this manual are read and fully understood before touching any UPS internal component part. The service engineer would complete the following checks: UPS Carry out a thorough visual examination of the UPS power components and sub-assemblies, paying particular attention to the following: Electrolytic capacitors Check for signs of leakage, buckling etc. Magnetic components Check for signs of overheating, security of fixture and signs of cracking in ferrite components. Cables and connections Check all cables for chafing, fraying or signs of overheating. Also check that all cable connections are tight and all printed circuit board connectors are secure. Printed circuit boards Check the cleanliness and integrity of the circuit boards and replace if any signs of deterioration are found. Caution A lithium battery powered chip (part no.02101065) is carried on the interface board. If this board is replaced, either dispose of the chip in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, or else contact your local distributor for disposal instructions. DO NOT DISPOSE OF THE CHIP THROUGH THE DOMESTIC REFUSE SERVICE.
WARNING - BATTERY HAZARDS SPECIAL CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING WITH THE BATTERIES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS EQUIPMENT. WHEN CONNECTED TOGETHER, THE BATTERY TERMINAL VOLTAGE WILL EXCEED 380VDC AND IS POTENTIALLY LETHAL. IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT THE INTER-TRAY LINKS IN ORDER TO GAIN FULL ACCESS TO THE BATTERY TRAYS. DO THIS WITH EXTREME CAUTION. EYE PROTECTION SHOULD BE WORN TO PREVENT INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL ELECTRICAL ARCS. IF A BATTERY LEAKS ELECTROLYTE, OR IS OTHERWISE PHYSICALLY DAMAGED, IT SHOULD BE PLACED IN A CONTAINER RESISTANT TO SULPHURIC ACID AND DISPOSED OF IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL REGULATIONS. IF ELECTROLYTE COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE SKIN, THE AFFECTED AREA SHOULD BE WASHED IMMEDIATELY. Check the batteries carefully, paying particular attention to the following: General condition Examine the battery cases for signs of deformation, cracks or general physical deterioration. Battery block voltage Check the voltage of each battery block with a meter. This should be greater than 12.6 volts d.c. Cables and connections Examine the cables for signs of deterioration and ensure that all connections are securely fastened. General If necessary, thoroughly clean inside the UPS using a vacuum cleaner. Re-assemble the UPS, and start it up following the procedures in Chapter 2 - Operating Instructions. If possible, check the battery autonomy time by turning the UPS input supply OFF while the UPS is on-load. Ensure that the UPS operates on battery correctly and check that the available battery autonomy time meets the specification. Refer to the procedure in Chapter 2 - Operating Instructions. Turn the UPS input supply ON again as soon as these checks have been made.
