3 GENERAL
The Benning TEBEVERT III inverter system is a rugged, high reliability, field
proven inverter system intended for protection of critical AC loads in telecom,
cable and other related communication applications. It can be scaled in 5 kVA
increments up to 25 kVA. Unlike conventional standalone inverters, these parallel
operating modules can also be scaled to operate with N+1 redundancy. This
ensures optimal availability for your critical load applications. In this mode of
operation, a failure of one inverter module will not affect the operation of your
critical load. Since all units are designed for “hot plug” replacement, a faulty
module can easily be unplugged and replaced without disturbing critical loads.
The heart of the system operates at 120VAC and consists of hot-swappable
inverter modules, and an electronic Static Bypass Switch (SBS) module. All
electrical connections to the modules are automatically disconnected or
connected when the modules are removed or inserted into the system cabinet.
This may take place during normal operation without interruption in power to the
connected load equipment. This design provides an uninterrupted supply of AC
current and satisfies the highest requirements with respect to the expansion of
the system, ease of maintenance and operating safety. The system is made
flexible to accommodate various AC input and output voltage requirements by
the addition of optional transformers which are housed in the base section of the
cabinet.
The TEBEVERT III is available for DC voltages of -48VDC. Each inverter module
is rated 5.0kVA/4.0kW power output. Parallel operation of maximum of five (5)
inverter modules provides a maximum system rating of 25.0kVA/20kW. The
output voltage is 120VAC or 120/240VAC and can be adjusted to 50Hz or 60Hz
according to the application.
Warning!
Several inverter systems may not be operated in parallel.
This may lead to the destruction of the inverter systems.

In addition to UL and CE listings, this product is certified to Bellcore NEBS Level

3 standards and its elements have been issued CLEI codes for use in Tier 1 U.S.
Telcos.

4.4 MAINTENANCE BYPASS SWITCH (MBS)

The manual Maintenance Bypass Switch is pictured below. It is located in
the upper section of the system cabinet. It is a three position switch which
functions to manually switch the system output between UPS operation,
Inverter Output only, and AC Mains only for maintenance purposes. The
MBS is mechanically connected to both the SBS slot and the SBS module
itself, when inserted. The locking mechanism prevents the SBS module
from being pulled out of the inverter system when it is in Position 0 for
normal UPS type operation. The MBS must be in either Position 1 or
Position 2 to permit removal or insertion of the SBS module.
Significance of the MBS switch positions:
Position 0: UPS operation
Position 1: Load on Bypass Input (Commercial AC)
Position 2: Load on Inverter Output
12
Figure 7 Manual Maintenance Bypass Switch Q10
4.5 INVERTER MODULES

The inverter modules convert the incoming nominal DC voltage of -
48VDC into AC voltage of 120VAC, 50 or 60Hz. Refer to Section
5.3 for specific wiring details.
Important Note!
The 120/240VAC configuration utilizes input/output
transformers to convert the input and output voltages from
the nominal 120VAC. Therefore the 120/240VAC system
settings are configured the same as the standard 120VAC
system.
The functions of all inverter modules in the system are identical.

The applied DC voltage reaches an intermediate circuit via an input
filter. The voltage in this intermediate circuit is increased to
approximately 200V. A high-frequency transformer separates the
voltage between the input and the output of the inverter. In the
bridge of the inverter, the high DC voltage of the intermediate circuit
is transformed into the inverter output voltage of 120 VAC and a
frequency of 50Hz or 60Hz (selectable).
In order to obtain a constant sinusoidal output voltage under all

operating conditions, a series of monitoring functions and controls
are necessary.
13
The inverter module contains no serviceable components that must

be accessible by the user during normal operation. Located on the
front panel there are various LED´s used for the operational status
and fault diagnosis.
Warning!
The removal of the front panel, the alteration of switching
thresholds and the changing of the control fuse may only
be carried out by qualified personnel.
Shown below is the Outline Drawing of the inverter module. All

terminals and operating elements are located on the front or rear of
the inverter module.

4.6 STATIC BYPASS SWITCH (SBS) MODULE
The Static Bypass Switch (SBS) module monitors the AC bypass

input and DC input. The inverter system‟s default operation mode is
“Inverter Priority” which the output of the system is attached to the
parallel output of the inverter modules. If DC in to the inverter
modules is disrupted the SBS automatically switches the output to
the commercial AC input.
19
The inverter system can optionally be configured for “AC Mains

Priority”. In this configuration the output of the system is attached to
the commercial AC input. If commercial AC in to the inverter system
is disrupted the SBS automatically switches the output to the
inverter modules parallel output. The switching occurs in
milliseconds with no adverse effects to the load. The Maintenance
Bypass Switch (MBS) is set in Position “0” for normal UPS
operation. The SBS module can only be unplugged or inserted into
its shelf when the MBS is in Positions 1 (commercial AC out) or 2
(inverter AC out). Figure 12 on the next page is the SBS module
outline drawing.

5.1 PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
This section describes how to prepare your Tebevert III system for installation,
once it has arrived at the site, including unpacking, inspection, and preparation
for installation. Read all sections carefully before installing the power system.
If the Tebevert III cabinet is crated for shipment, it should be equipped with TIP N
TELL™ indicator(s) and associated tag(s) to warn if the crate was (were)
mishandled or tipped during transportation. Verify that there are no blue beads in
the arrow of the indicator as shown in Figure 20 below. If blue beads are present
in the arrow, make note of it on the bill of lading and open the crate(s)
immediately to verify the equipment for damage (Claims for tipping will depend
on this notation). Report any damages to the freight carrier immediately.
Figure 20 TIP N TELL™

5.1.1 UNPACKING THE TEBEVERT III INVERTER SYSTEM

The cabinets and Inverter/SBS modules are shipped separately. Each module
has been factory tested and is ready to plug into the power shelves. The
following steps explain how to remove the cabinet from its packaging.
1. Cut the straps holding the cabinet to the pallet.
2. Remove the top cover section of cardboard and the foam inserts.
3. Carefully lift the exterior cardboard sleeve, lifting it completely off the
cabinet. (This may require two people)
4. Remove the remaining foam inserts and the plastic bag.
The Inverter Cabinet weighs up to 700lb (340kg) net and

up to approximately 850 lbs.(386kg) packed. It is
mandatory that necessary precautions be taken to lift,
move, set and position the cabinets.
5. Using an appropriate number of people or the proper lifting device lift the
cabinet off the shipping pallet. Should a forklift or other lifting device be
used you must first remove the front and rear lower cover plates. Be sure
to replace the cover plates once the cabinet has been positioned and
bolted in place. Once removed, lifting forks may be inserted into the frame
base allowing the cabinet to be lifted off the pallet. A secondary means of
moving the cabinets is to use a dolly truck. If this method is used, only lift
the cabinets from the right side of the cabinets as viewed from the front.
6. Ensure that the cabinet is installed on a level surface for proper operation
of the upper cabinet door.
7. Open the shipping cartons for each inverter/SBS module. Be sure to save
some of the packing materials in case the modules need to be returned to
the factory for some reason. The inverter modules weigh 77 lbs. (35kg)
each, net.
5.1.2 INSPECTING THE EQUIPMENT

Check the cabinet and the modules for external damage. If any damage
occurred during shipment, keep the shipping cartons and packing
materials so the carrier can inspect them.
It is your responsibility to file claim with the carrier for damages to the
equipment. Any and all damage noted upon receipt of the Tebevert III
Inverter System should be clearly identified in detail on the Bill of Lading.
31
5.1.3 CARRIER CLAIMS
Carrier‟s claim procedures should be initiated promptly. In the event damage is
found after delivery, it should be reported as soon as possible (normally 15 day
time limit on reporting damages incurred in shipment).
5.1.4 CHECKING PACKAGING CONTENTS
Verify the contents of the system against the packing list and the purchase order.
If the shipment does not contain the appropriate items, contact BENNING
Customer Service at 800-910-3601 (follow the prompts) or 214-553-1444.
5.1.5 SAFETY
Please review all safety warnings according to the GR1275 standards before
beginning the installation process. Observe all warnings and labels on the
equipment and in this manual as well.
5.1.6 INSTALLATION TOOLS

 Basic Hand Tools (i.e. wire cutters, wrenches, screw drivers, 8mm
Allen Key for AC Terminal Blocks)
 Insulated Rubber Mat
 Crimpers (match crimper and die to the lug manufacturer‟s
recommendation)
 Calibrated Digital Multi-meter
 Calibrated Torque Wrench
5.1.7 WIRING GUIDELINES

All electrical connections should be made using the proper crimping tools
and dies and should be torqued to the values specified. All building wiring
should comply with the NEC and other applicable local codes. The
temperature rating of the wire must be no greater than 195°F (90°C) and
may be sized using the ampacity table in the NEC handbook. Wiring
internal to enclosed equipment cabinets must be rated no less than 220°F
(105°C).
5.1.8 PACKAGING
All packages should be opened with a box cutter with the blade minimally
exposed so that only the sealing tape is cut. Save all packaging material
until the system has been powered up and all parts are operating within
specification. The shipping packaging may be used to return defective
parts.
32
5.2 CABINET INSTALLATION

The site chosen for the inverter system must have a solid and level floor.
The inverter system is designed for operation in a restricted access, dry
environment. The maximum ambient temperature permitted is 40°C. Each
inverter module at full load will emit 2,040 BTU‟s per hour (approximately
10,500 BTU‟s/hour for a fully loaded 25kVA system, including SBS module
and other electronics). Attention must be paid to the location of the
inverter system so that it is not exposed to air borne contaminants and the
flow of cooling air is not hampered.
5.2.1 RECOMMENDED MINIMUM CABINET CLEARANCES

Front: 24” (600mm); back: 12”(300mm); and above roof: 12”(600mm).
Cooling air flow is front to back with exhaust grills in back of cabinet
which must not be obstructed or the warranty will be void and the
operating life of the Inverter and SBS modules will be reduced.
Note, no clearance is required on the cabinet sides.
5.2.2 WEIGHTS AND DIMENSIONS

Cabinet Weight: Approximately 450lb/205kg without modules or
transformers (add 250lb/115kg if optional transformers present).
Cabinet Dimensions: 84”H (2100mm) x 23.6”W (600mm) x 23.6”D
Inverter Module Weight: 77lb. (35kg)
Static Bypass Switch Module Weight: 22lb. (10kg)

5.2.3 CABINET FOOTPRINT
Below is the mounting hole pattern for affixing the cabinet to the floor.
Dimensions are in inches. Using this pattern, mark the floor for anchor
positions and proceed with either standard floor anchoring means or
earthquake approved anchoring. Frame Isolation pads are available from
Benning if required. Non earthquake zone applications use four 0.42” dia.
floor mounting holes for each cabinet. Earthquake zone applications
require welded cabinets with eight 2” x 0.5” slots for mounting with
earthquake zone approved anchors (customer provides anchors).
Figure 22 Cabinet Mounting Hole Pattern
34
The cabinet should be shimmed to the floor to make sure it is level, and
then secured using washers in the mounting holes provided. Typical
standard concrete anchor mounting and earthquake zone concrete
applications are shown below in Figure 23 and Figure 24.
Figure 23 Typical Non-Earthquake Zone Concrete Anchor

35
5.3 CABINET WIRING
Cables may be fed into the inverter system from above or below,
according to the model. The size and location of the terminal blocks and
distribution assemblies are configuration dependant. For the cross-
sections and the recommended over-current protection the following
values must be observed. The recommended cable sizes shown below
meet National Electrical Code (NEC) Table 310-16 requirements.
However, larger size cables may be required in order to to reduce the
effects of voltage-drop, depending on the conditions at the installation site,
than would normally be necessary due to the current. It is recommended
that if a system can be expanded with additional inverters in the future, the
initial AC wiring should be sized for the maximum number of inverters.
Warning!
For the proper protection of loads, careful attention must

be paid to the selection of upstream mains protection.
The voltage-free external alarm contact outputs are

rated for a max of 230VAC/1A or 270VDC/0.2A (50W
max).
If a future inverter expansion is planned, the cable cross-

sections and the fuse protection must be used for the
maximum values of load power requirements.
If an external battery is connected to the inverter, then

instructions concerning the installation and maintenance
given by the battery manufacturer must be observed.
The supply circuits must be equipped with disconnecting

devices
The system has high leakage current potential. Frame

ground (Earth) connection is essential before connecting
the supply.
36
5.3.1 DC CABLE REQUIREMENTS

There are three options for DC power input to the Inverter system:
 1. Most Reliable: Individual DC input per inverter module accepting

two-hole lugs with 3/8-16 studs on 1”cc. These terminal blocks
accept up to one 4/0 stranded cable per pole.
 2. Individual DC input per inverter module using screw compression

type terminal blocks which accept up to one 4/0 stranded cable.
Even though the initial install may only require 2 or 3 plug-in inverter
modules, it is recommended that all five DC input feeds be wired
out.
 3. Bulk input accepting up to 750MCM two-hole lugs, two per pole

in a back-to-back configuration. The hole pattern is designed for
3/8” holes at 1” cc. EC-701 must be ordered for this.
Cable sizes should be calculated to meet National Electrical Code (NEC)

Table 310-16 requirements and applicable engineering standards. Please
remember that larger size cables may be required in order to meet site
voltage drop requirements.
An insulated DC input cable support bracket is provided. See Figure 25

below. It is attached to top of the inverter cabinet for support of cabling
between the cabinet and overhead cable racking.

6 SYSTEM START-UP
6.1 MODULE INSTALLATION
It is recommended that the set up and installation of the Inverter and
SBS Modules be done as part of the start-up process by qualified
service personnel.
Prior to the set up and installation of the Static Bypass Switch and Inverter
modules in the system, the following points must be checked and
observed.
 Verify that the units are of the same type and model (48VDC in/
120VAC out, 5kVA). Since all inverters of the Tebevert III series have
a similar form factor, the exact model of the unit must be confirmed.
 Verify the Inverter and SBS module settings according to Sections

6.1.1 and 6.1.3 below. All inverter modules MUST have the same
settings.
 Verify that the ON/OFF Switch S1 on the front of each inverter module
is switched off. Note, the SBS does not have an ON/OFF switch, but is
ON after insertion as soon as Bypass AC is present or -48VDC is
applied to any inverter module position.
47
6.1.1 INVERTER MODULE SETTINGS

Each inverter is set to factory default values according to the required
operating conditions. An adjustment of these settings is not usually
necessary.
However, if the inverter must operate at 50 HZ, a simple adjustment can

be carried out.
Warning!
Alteration of the unit settings may only be carried out by
qualified personnel. The altered settings must be clearly
marked on the unit. Any alternations of these settings
must also be performed on all other inverters within the
system and on the SBS.
The output frequency is changed with the DIP switch S2 located on the
rear side of the inverter unit (See Figure 11)
ON 4 3 2 1
50Hz
OFF 60Hz
NOTE: Only the setting of Switch 1 is changed. All the other switches must
always remain in the OFF position.
48
6.1.2 INSTALLATION OF INVERTER MODULES

Warning!
The weight of each inverter is approx. 77lbs (35kg). The
unit may only be lifted and transported using the carrying
handles built into each side of the unit. DO NOT carry or
lift the unit using the handles on the front panel!
Before the inverter unit is installed, any materials used to protect the unit
during transportation must be removed. Inspect connector pins on rear of
modules to ensure they are free of packing material. Ensure that the
output circuit breaker on the back of all modules is set to the 1=ON
position- see Figure 33 below.
Figure 33 Inverter Module Rear Side Output Circuit Breaker

The guiding rails on the base of the inverter shelf and under the inverters
ensure the exact positioning of the modular inverter unit. The unit should
be slowly pushed in past a slight resistance until its front panel is flush with
the frame of the cabinet. All electrical contacts have then been made. The
inverter is then fixed into the cabinet with four screws (supplied).
Any free slots reserved for future inverter capacity upgrades must be
covered with dummy coverplates supplied with the system at time of
shipment from the factory. These coverplates must be secured with four
screws (supplied).
49
6.1.3 STATIC BYPASS SWITCH MODULE SETTINGS

The Static Bypass Switch (SBS) is factory set to default values. It is not
usually necessary to change these settings. However, if the units are
exchanged or there are different operating conditions, the settings must be
checked or readjusted.
Warning! Only qualified personnel may carry out alteration

of the settings on the unit. Altered settings must be clearly
marked on the unit.
On the rear side of the SBS unit there are 2 sets of 8 DIP switches; S1 (on
is down) and S2 (on is up). Look closely at the switch to see the direction
of ON which is printed on the switch. See Figure 16 for location. The
settings are shown below.

6.1.4 INSTALLATION OF SBS MODULE

At the time the Static Bypass Switch (SBS) module is installed, the
operating handle of the manual Maintenance Bypass Switch (MBS) must
be attached to it. The handle is installed on top of the SBS unit using
supplied four (4) M4 x 8mm screws. Position the switch mechanism and
the operating element in the following position as shown in Figure 34.
Figure 34 Installation Positions of Locking Mechanism & Operating Element

Using the guide rails located on the base of the mounting shelf, slowly
push the SBS unit into the shelf until the front panel is flush with the frame
of the cabinet. This should require minimal effort. All electrical contacts
have been made and the operating element of the manual MBS is
connected to its rotation axle. The SBS is fixed into the cabinet with four
screws (supplied).

6.2 SWITCHING ON THE INVERTER SYSTEM

6.2.1 PROCEDURE IF THE SYSTEM IS SET TO INVERTER PRIORITY
Before the AC Bypass is connected and the inverters are switched on,
verify that the manual Maintenance Bypass Switch is in Position “0” (UPS
operation). In this position the Static Bypass Switch (SBS) is mechanically
locked and cannot be pulled out of the cabinet.
The load circuits should not yet be connected and all the inverters should
be switched off. The Static Bypass Switch (SBS) should be set to the
operation mode "inverter priority" (See Section 6.1.3).
Step 1: The DC supply should be switched on. All the LEDs on the SBS
module will light up for a short time during start-up. (Reset of the internal
processor!) Afterwards, only the LED "FAULT" is lit and the DVA indicates
the voltage or current to be "0".
Step 2: The AC Bypass source should be switched on. The LEDs "MAINS
VOLTAGE PRESENT" and "MAINS OPERATION" are then lit, as well as
the LED "FAULT". The AC Bypass source is connected to the output and
the DVA shows the AC Bypass voltage (e.g. 120), if the selector switch
underneath the DVA is set to position "V".
Step 3: The first inverter can now be switched on. After a start-up time of
approx. 20 seconds, the LEDs "INVERTER OUTPUT VOLTAGE
PRESENT"; "MAINS SYNCHRONOUS" are lit up and the LED
"PARALLEL OPERATION" starts to flash. The flashing of this LED
indicates that this inverter has been assigned the MASTER function. At the
same time, some of the LEDs on the SBS change their state. The LED
"FAULT" is extinguished and the LED "READY FOR OPERATION" is lit.
Assuming that the operation mode is "inverter priority", the inverter output
voltage is connected to the output. The LEDs "INVERTER OUTPUT
VOLTAGE PRESENT" and "INVERTER OPERATION" light up and the
LED "MAINS OPERATION" are extinguished. The voltage-free fault
indicator switches to the state "no fault".
Step 4: The remaining inverters are then switched on. The state of the
SBS LEDs on the SBS and the first inverter do not change. After the start-
up phase, the LEDs "INVERTER OUTPUT VOLTAGE PRESENT",
"MAINS SYNCHRONIZED" and "PARALLEL OPERATION" are lit on all
inverters.
53
Step 5: Finally, the load circuits may be switched on. When the load is
connected, the load current is divided equally between the individual
inverters and the bar graph indicators show the output current of the
individual inverter. The load voltage (inverter output voltage) or the total
load current can be read on the DVA display.
After all system components have been connected and switched on, the
states of the LEDs on the SBS and Inverter should be as follows.
Figure 35 LED states of the SBS (Normal State Inverter Priority)
When the inverter operates as

the master, this LED flashes.
Figure 36 LED States of the Inverter (Normal State Inverter Priority)
6.2.2 PROCEDURE IF THE SYSTEM IS SET TO MAINS PRIORITY

Before the AC Bypass is connected and the inverters are switched on,
verify that the manual Maintenance Bypass Switch is in Position “0” (UPS
operation). In this position the Static Bypass Switch (SBS) is mechanically
locked and cannot be pulled out of the cabinet.
The load circuits should not yet be connected and all the inverters should
be switched off. The Static Bypass Switch (SBS) should be set to the
operation mode "mains priority" (See Section 6.1.3).
Step 1: The DC supply should be switched on. All the LEDs on the SBS
module will light up for a short time during start-up. (Reset of the internal
processor!) Afterwards, only the LED "FAULT" is lit and the DVA indicates
the voltage or current to be "0".
54
Step 2: The AC Bypass source should be switched on. The front panel
LEDs "MAINS AVAILABLE", "OPERATING ON MAINS", and “INVERTER
OFF” are then lit. The AC Bypass source is connected to the output and
the DVA shows the AC Bypass voltage (e.g. 120), if the selector switch
underneath the DVA is set to position "V".
Step 3: The first inverter can now be switched on. After a start-up time of
approx. 20 seconds, the inverter module‟s LEDs "INVERTER OUTPUT
VOLTAGE PRESENT"; "MAINS SYNCHRONOUS" are lit up and the LED
"PARALLEL OPERATION" starts to flash. The flashing of this LED
indicates that this inverter has been assigned the MASTER function. At the
same time, some of the LEDs on the SBS change their state. The SBS
module‟s LED "FAULT" is extinguished and the LED "READY FOR
OPERATION" is lit. The LED "INVERTER OUTPUT VOLTAGE
PRESENT" lights up.
Step 4: The remaining inverters are then switched on. The state of the
SBS LEDs on the SBS and the first inverter do not change. After the start-
up phase, the inverter module‟s LEDs "INVERTER OUTPUT VOLTAGE
PRESENT", "MAINS SYNCHRONIZED" and "PARALLEL OPERATION"
are lit on all inverters. The front panel‟s LEDs “INVERTER OFF” and
“INVERTER FAULT” turn off.
Step 5: Finally, the load circuits may be switched on. The total load current
can be read on the DVA display.
After all system components have been connected and switched on, the
states of the LEDs on the SBS and Inverter should be as follows.
Figure 37 LED states of the SBS (Normal State Mains Priority)
55
When the inverter operates as

the master, this LED flashes.
Figure 38 LED States of the Inverter (Normal State Mains Priority)
7 SYSTEM OPERATION
It is not necessary to understand the exact function of all components in
this inverter system. However, basic knowledge of essential components
aids in the understanding of the whole system and helps to avoid errors in
the maintenance and operation.
7.1 TOTAL SYSTEM
The inverter system supplies a high availability AC current supply to load

equipment that must have an uninterrupted input power supply at all times.
According to the selected operating mode, the inverter output voltage
(inverter priority) or the AC mains voltage (mains priority) is switched
through to the load equipment by the SBS. In the event the priority system
(mains or inverters) should fail, the redundant system is switched with
minimal interruption to the alternate source (within a few milliseconds).
The use of the manual Maintenance Bypass Switch allows servicing and
maintenance work to be carried out on the inverter system or the
redundant AC mains without an interruption in the power supply to the load
equipment.
56
7.2 INVERTER
7.2.1 MONITORING OF THE DC INPUT VOLTAGE
The DC voltage applied to the inverter is monitored for under voltage or
over voltage conditions. The inverter supplies continuous, regulated output
voltage when operated within these limits.
1 2
ON
OFF
V1 V0 V3 V2
1 Under Voltage 2 Over Voltage
1 Under voltage range 2 Over voltage range
Figure 39 Switching Thresholds for DC Over & Under voltage Monitoring

Figure 39 shows the main principles of the system. If over voltage is
applied, the inverter switches off at V2. Once the voltage has dropped to a
value which is below V3, the inverter switches on again automatically.
After switching off as a result of under voltage V1, the inverter switches on
again only after the input voltage V0 is reached. This value, V0, must also
be available when the inverter is switched on at the main switch. This
ensures that the unit does not start up briefly when the battery is not
charged.
Because of component variances and setting tolerances, the following

voltage ranges apply for the switching thresholds.
Nominal V1 V0 V3 V2
Input
Voltage
VN = 48VDC 40.3V....41.3V 48.5V....49.5V 57.0V....58.2V 59.4V….60.6V
The unit cannot be switched on when input voltages are

below V0!
57
7.2.2 MONITORING THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE

The output voltage supplied by the inverter is also monitored. If the output
voltage is within the range 120
indicated by an LED on the front panel. If it is outside this range, an LED
indicates the fault. If the output voltage exceeds the upper limit, the
inverter is blocked and switches to a self-holding mode. The self-holding
mode can be cancelled by switching the unit on again at the main ON/OFF
switch.
7.2.3 MONITORING THE TEMPERATURE

The temperature is measured in two locations, in the air stream that the
cooling fan draws in near the fan (giving the ambient outside temperature)
and near the back of the housing (giving the interior temperature).
If the cooling air temperature reaches a value of approximately 113F

(45°C), the fan inside the inverter automatically switches on.
If the cooling air temperature exceeds a value of approximately 185F

(85°C), the inverter switches off because of over temperature.
The unit also switches off when the interior temperature reaches
approximately 158F (70°C). The most common causes of high interior
temperature are high ambient temperatures or obstruction of the air
supply. The shut-down of the inverter due to over temperature is indicated
by the LED "FAULT" on the front panel.
7.2.4 OVERLOAD BEHAVIOR

The inverter is designed to withstand short-term overloading. In cases of
overloading, an LED on the front panel lights up. 200% of the nominal
effective current can be supplied for a maximum of 1.2 seconds (i.e.
double the rated power). If the overload still exists after 1.2 seconds, the
current is reduced to 1.3 times the rated value with a resultant reduction in
the output voltage. If the overload situation still persists after another 41
seconds, the power unit of the inverter goes off. The inverter can only
restart if, after the inverter has been switched off with the main switch, all
LED´s on the front panel are extinguished and the inverter is switched on
again. When operating the inverter with an SBS (this is standard for this
inverter system), the SBS recognizes the overload. If the inverter output
voltage lies outside the tolerance range as described in section 7.2.2, the
SBS will switch the current mains supply through to the load equipment.
58
7.2.5 SHORT-CIRCUIT BEHAVIOR

The inverter is permanently short circuit proof. Short circuits are a special
type of overload. At the time of the short circuit, the current is limited for 5
seconds to 2.8 times the nominal effective current. During this period, the
short circuit current can trigger the AC load protection circuits in the
customer provided AC distribution. After approx. 5 seconds have elapsed,
the power unit of the inverter switches off. A restart of the inverter, after a
short-circuit, is only possible when the inverter has been switched off with
the ON/OFF switch, all LED´s on the front panel are extinguished, and the
inverter has then been switched on again.
If the short circuit persists, this procedure is repeated.
When the inverter is operated with a Static Bypass Switch (SBS) and is
configured for inverter priority the SBS immediately (in less than 2 ms)
switches to the AC bypass when a short circuit is detected. The connected
AC bypass supplies the short circuit current. Once the SBS detects the
circuit is no longer shorted the SBS switches the load back to the inverter
modules output.
7.3 STATIC BYPASS SWITCH MODULE (SBS)

The Static Bypass Switch module accurately monitors all the relevant data
of the inverter system. This includes:
Inverter operational states

AC bypass voltage
Inverter voltage
AC bypass frequency
phase position between the inverter output and the mains
level of the load
This information is fed to an internal controller, which controls the SBS via
a logical trigger switching the AC bypass or the inverter output voltage
through to the load equipment. If the system is functioning correctly, the
voltage, which has been pre-selected by the setting of the operation mode,
is switched through the SBS, i.e. "mains priority" or "inverter priority".
In addition to the visual indicators (LEDs), the SBS also controls dry
contact alarm relays. A setting option is used to select whether this
messaging is a collective fault message from the SBS and the inverter, or
a single fault message of the SBS. This message follows the visual
indication with a delay of approximately 10seconds.
The cause of these faults may be:
59
Disturbance in the AC by-pass supply

Disturbance in the inverter / inverter system
Disturbance in the SBS
The reset of the dry contact alarm relay occurs without a delay. To permit
operation of the SBS via the remote monitoring system MCU, an additional
unit (satellite card) must be installed. Through this optional unit,
operational states and measurement values of the SBS and the
associated inverter system are transmitted to the remote monitoring
system via a serial interface to RS485 standard.
In the standard design, 6 different types of status information are

transmitted, resulting from the linkage of the various status data.
The transmitted status information comprises:
 Inverter operation
 SBS warning
 SBS fault
 Overload
 Faulty output voltage
 SBS blocked
In addition, 15 detected or calculated measuring values are transmitted.
 Heat sink temperature SBS

 Inverter output voltage
 AC by-pass voltage
 SBS output voltage
 SBS output current
 Output current Inverter 1 – Inverter 5
 Active power
 Apparent power
 Reactive power (calculated)
 Crest factor
 Output frequency
All indicated states and measuring values of the inverter system can be
further processed and evaluated using the service software of the remote
monitoring system.
Redundancy function for the SBS Satellite function (5 kVA and 2.5 kVA
inverters) - From Version 1.03 on we support a redundancy function
generating two events in the SBS satellite. This can be mapped to an input
60
of the optional MCU and used to control alarm relays in the optional relay
box.
The first alarm (Minor-non urgent) is activated, when one or more inverters
have a fault.
A fault is defined as:

- inverter module not working properly in any way (inverter error
message)
- inverter module turned off via its front panel switch
- inverter is removed from system (the total number of inverters is
logged, so, if the inverter module is plugged into a different slot, the
fault will be reset)
The second alarm (Major-urgent) is activated, when two or more inverters

have a fault. Fault conditions are defined above.
Note: If the alarm is triggered by removal of an inverter (e.g. for
service purposes) this can be reset by pushing the reset/led test
button on the LED-panel of the MCU.

7.4 DISPLAY PANEL AND MCU
This section applies to systems equipped with an MCU 2000 Monitor &
Control Unit and the optional Operator Panel shown in Figure 40 below.
7.4.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE DISPLAY PANEL
The Display Panel is a supplementary unit for the MCU 2000. It allows
monitoring and setting of the MCU and the entire power-supply system.
Its most important features are:
 Graphic illuminated LCD display

 Knob (jog-shuttle) for making quick settings
 freely selectable standard display of measured values
 menu-assisted input
 menu language freely selectable in four languages (three fixed and
one user-defined)
 user-defined signal and measurement-value text
 four password levels for access authorization.
 Error memory for the last 200 events (error log).
 Recording of values for 2000 measurement points.
7.4.2 STANDARD DISPLAY AND OPERATING ELEMENTS
This panel is located on the outside of the upper section swing-out door.
The MCU and associated I/O electronic modules are located inside that
section of the cabinet, mounted on DIN rail. The Operator Panel is used
for monitoring and set-up of the inverter system, with password levels for
access authorization as noted on Page ii at the front of this manual.
62
Figure 40 Operator Panel
The Operator Panel consists of:
 LCD Display – Displays Numeric Data: Factory default is set to

display Real Power (kW). Since the power factor of the load can
vary considerably, it is best to read the Real Power of the system
from MCU to determine actual AC loading. A fully equipped system
can provide 20kW of Load Power (16kW on fully equipped N+1
system). AC Volts, AC Amps, and Frequency are also available.
Displays logged data, e.g., alarm conditions, operator actions.
Control: allows system set-up and setting adjustments.
 LCD Display Controls – A thumbwheel is provided for scrolling

through displays. Three multi-purpose pushbuttons are as follows
with primary functions noted: E-Enter, S-Show alarms, & C-Clear
 System LED Indicators – Four LEDs are provided for major system
fault indication: from top to bottom – “System Running”, “System on
Battery Operation”, “Alarm Active”, “Urgent Alarm Active”
 Thirteen LED Indicator Strip with Reset/LED Test Pushbutton - see

7.4.6 ERROR LOG
Figure 42 Error Log

The display is fitted with a loop memory for the last 200 errors (referred to
hereafter as the error log). In the standard display mode, the log can be
displayed at any time with the Show error button S, and scrolled using the
knob. The most recent error recorded always appears first. All entries can
be deleted by pressing button E.
65
7.4.7 ERROR LEVEL AND CLASS
All the errors in the MCU, external monitoring devices, and SAT-Bus users
are assigned to certain error levels. These make it possible to generate a
selective error display and store it. The higher the error level, the more
serious the error.
The error levels are not programmable but are determined by the signal
filters set in the MCU.
Generally speaking, there are three classes of error:
1. Errors in the display and central signals
2. Errors in the external or internal monitoring logic
3. Errors in the SAT-Bus users.
7.4.7.1 ERROR LEVEL FOR DISPLAY AND CENTRAL FAULTS

7.4.8 ERROR LOG
The error log displays time, error level and status.
The lines of an error log:

1. +(07) 24.06.96 - 10:12 where:
"+" = "error occurred"
(07) = error level
"24..." = error time & date
2. Overvoltage unit 02 error-signal text
When an error is removed, a similar entry is generated with the time

updated and the symbol "-" to indicate "error corrected".
Example of an error log:

+(07)24.06.96 - 10:11
overvoltage unit 02
+(07)24.06.96 - 10:11
fault unit 02
+(10)24.06.96 - 10:11
***urgent error***
-(07)24.06.96 - 10:12
fault unit 02
+(01)24.06.96 - 10:12
unit 02 switched off
-(01)24.06.96 - 10:12
unit 02 switched off
-(10)24.06.96 - 10:12
***urgent error***
-(07)24.06.96 - 10:12
overvoltage unit 02
The causes of the errors are not always recorded to the exact second in
the order in which they occur, as the units, the modem board and the
display are not fully synchronized with the system statuses and some of
the fault signals in the system have delays. This explains why the "urgent
error" signal disappears first and then the overvoltage signal is cancelled
in the above example.

73
 Text upload from MCU

For all the measurement values and signals, identification codes
are stored in the MCU. These are transmitted with the signal
protocol. These can be loaded in the display. This cancels the texts
previously programmed in the display. A warning text informs the
user before this happens. Use this item with caution as system is
programmed with user friendly long text names. Default text
uploaded from MCU is highly abbreviated.
 Configuration flags
These are for configurations which require a choice between two
possibilities.
Type of clock
Possible settings: analogue 08.07.96
digital 19:00-08.07.96
If more than two measurement values appear in the basic display,
the digital form is always used for the time.
 Escape function
If no key is pressed, the display returns from any sub-menu to the
main menu after the time entered here in seconds (0-240). The
setting "0" prevents returning to the main display.
 Backlight function
The background lighting of the display is switched on automatically
when a key is pressed. The display lighting goes off after a certain
time if not key has been pressed. This time can be set here
between 10 and 240 seconds.
 Lock Display
The individual menu items are protected by four different password
levels. When the correct password is given, a certain level (1-4) is
released for the user. This menu item is used for setting the level to
0 again, thus blocking all the levels requiring a password. If the
display is locked, a small key symbol appears in the status line.
When a period of two hours has expired after the last operation, the
system locks itself automatically.
Four password levels are used by this MCU: "PW 1", "PW 2", PW
3", and "PW 4". (PW and the number are separated by a space).
 Change passwords
The four passwords can be changed here. The menu entry in each
case is protected with the appropriate password level.
Thus, the password for level 3 can only be changed when a
password for level 3 or 4 is entered beforehand.
74
7.4.9.6 MENU LANGUAGE
This item selects one of four languages for menu texts

 German
 English
 French
 user-defined language
The texts for the measurement values and signals are not shown in four
languages as these are user defined (and generally system-specific).

7.4.9.7.1 MCU MAINBOARD
 Modem Initialization
Edits the AT command string for initialising the telephone modem.
This text contains information on the communication between MCU
and modem as well as between modem and modem. The specified
command sequence should only be altered by persons with a
sound knowledge of remote data transmission. Incorrect entries
may impair the transmission of data or make it completely
impossible.
75
 Dial command
Determines the prefix AT command which is sent to the modem
before the actual dialing number.
Examples:
ATDT AT initiates every modem command.
D is for „dial‟.
T is for „tone‟. The modem dials using the tone-dialing process
(sometimes known as multi-frequency dialing process).
ATDP As above. P stands for pulse-dialing process (or impulse-

dialing process).
ATDT9W A zero is dialed before the number followed by a

delay of approximately 1 sec. This command is typical for a private
branch exchange where a "9" has to be dialed first to obtain an
external line.
 First calling number

States the complete telephone number of the central computer.
This number is dialed by the MCU in cases of fault or error or call-
back request. If this entry is left empty, the unit does not call.
 Second calling number

States the alternative telephone number for the central computer. If
no contact can be made with the first number (engaged or no
reply), the second number is dialed. From this point onwards it is
dialed first until it also fails to make contact.
If no entry is made here, the first number is always dialed.
 Passwords
Changes the four passwords stored in the MCU. One of these
controls access to the central computer and the other three the
access entitlement in the case of alternatively-routed calls (external
interrogation). The password for a central-computer interrogation is
transmitted with every interrogation from the PC and is generally
fixed there. If this password is changed in the MCU, no further
interrogation of the unit is possible.
76
 Site identification
The central location identifies the unit calling and its protocol by
means of this text.
The identification must fulfill two conditions:
1. It must be clearly attributable to each unit, i.e. different in
each case
2. The entry in the central computer must correspond to the
identification selected (even in choice of upper or lower-case
letters).
 Delays
In the MCU, several delays are used for the program sequence.
Some of these can be altered here to suit individual requirements.
Duration of modem connect - Determines the length of time the
MCU maintains contact to the PC after a protocol has been
transmitted without the user sending any further interrogation to the
MCU.
Wait at busy line - If the number is engaged when the MCU dials
the central computer, the call is repeated up to seven times. The
time interval is fixed here in seconds.
Delay urgent alarm – Time in seconds between when the MCU
senses an urgent alarm and when it is reported.
Delay non urgent alarm – Time in seconds between when the MCU
senses a non urgent alarm and when it is reported.
Delay common alarm – Time in seconds between when the MCU
senses a common alarm and when it is reported.
Duration relays test – Determines the length of time the relay
remains in the active state after a relay test is activated, before it is
set back to its normal function.
 No of battery cells
Some of the settings in the MCU relate to the number of battery
cells. The appropriate number is entered here. This menu item is
not used when the MCU is installed in an inverter.
 Options
Authorizes or blocks optional functions of the MCU.
Control modem - Authorizes or blocks remote data transmission by
the modem.
Automatic battery test - Authorizes or blocks the automatic battery
test.
B-test for two batteries - Authorizes or blocks the extended battery
test for two batteries.
77
 Time of last configuration

Records date and time the settings were last changed.
7.4.9.7.2 Rectifier Modules

This menu item is not used when MCU is installed in an inverter.
7.4.9.7.3 Thysat
This menu item is not used when MCU is installed in an inverter.
7.5 ALARMS & INDICATORS

There are 11 dry “C” Contact external alarm outputs. The contact ratings,
individual alarm definitions, and connection points are detailed in Section
5.3.3. The alarms which trigger the Major and Minor alarms and light the
System LEDs Alarm Active, Urgent Alarm Active respectively are:
Minor - Static Bypass Switch module warning, System Overload, Inverter

module turned off, Inverter module fail;
Major - AC Output MCB Open, Static Bypass Switch fault, Static Bypass
Switch output voltage alarm, Commercial AC Bypass not acceptable,
Operating on Commercial AC Bypass, DC Bus Voltage Low (<43.2V),
Multiple Inverter module failures.
The vertical LED strip with 13 programmable LED indicators is shown

below. A green pushbutton (PB) below the strip serves as a Reset/Test
LED PB for clearing indications and alarms where the LED is flashing to
indicate that the status has returned to normal. If the PB is held down for
a few seconds, all LEDs should light to indicate none have failed.
78
Figure 41 Operator Panel LED Indicator Strip
7.6 REMOTE MONITORING

The remote monitoring option requires the addition of a remote monitoring
adaptor, necessary interconnect cable from MCU to adaptor, and a MIB.
The kit can be installed at time of order of the system or for field retrofit.
See Figure 4. It is available optionally in two formats.
The first format consists of a web-based function using TCP/IP by

accessing the MCU with a LAN connection. A standard format of
parametric information and alarms is available as a web page. The
customer must assign his own IP address for the particular site and
system. This can be done remotely on the LAN. The default IP address for
initial access is 10.10.10.10. The password required to modify this
address is password “benning”. See TCP-IP Adaptor manual 4618 for
details. Once set up, an engineer at his desk can conveniently go on-line
and monitor the system.
The second format is SNMP and requires the MIB and central site
software for communicating remotely with the adaptor and decoding the
MIB data (central site software is not supplied by Benning).
79
8 MAINTENANCE
All the components of the inverter system have been developed for
continuous operation and are practically maintenance-free. To ensure
continuous operation, it is recommended that the flow of cooling air is
periodically checked and any dust is removed from the units.
Warning!
Do not use pressurized air to remove the dust since the
dust particles can be blown into the interior of the unit and
may cause malfunctions.
If servicing is required (exchange of units, work on the mains supply or the

DC supply etc.), the proper position of the manual Maintenance Bypass
Switch must be verified.
8.1 USE OF THE MANUAL BYPASS SWITCH (MBS)

The MBS is only required for servicing. This manual switch when operated
bypasses the SBS unit and connects, without interruption, the AC Back-up
source, AC Mains or Gen Set, (“Load on Bypass Input”) or the Inverter
Output (“Load on Inverter Output ") directly to the connected load
equipment, depending on the MBS switch position.
Warning!
The manual Maintenance Bypass Switch may only be
operated by qualified personnel.
0 Position 0: UPS operation
Position 1: Load on Back-up AC Input

1 2 Position 2: Load on Inverter Output
Prior to operating the MBS, verify that the SBS is operating in one of the
following modes. Failure to do so could result in an interruption in power to
the connected load equipment:
80
1) The SBS is operating correctly
This is signalled on the front panel of the SBS by:
LED "off" LED "on"
In this operating state, the MBS can be switched either into Position 1
(Load on Bypass AC Input) or Position 2 (Load on Inverter Output). After
the service work is complete, and, if the system is in proper working order,
the MBS can be turned back to Position 0 (UPS operation).
2) The SBS shows a fault
This is signalled on the front panel of the SBS by:
LED "on" LED "off"
In this operating state, two further cases must be differentiated.
a) The inverter system is operating in the inverter operation mode.
This is the case when the LED on the front panel of the
SBS is lit.
In this case only MBS switch Position 2 (Load on Inverter Output) is

permissible!
After the servicing work is complete (exchange of the SBS, work on the
AC supply mains) and if the system is in proper working order, the Manual
Bypass Switch can be turned back to Position 0 (UPS operation).
b) The inverter system is working in the mains operation mode. This is
the case if the LED on the front panel of the SBS is lit.
In this case only MBS switch Position 1 (Load on Bypass Input) is

permissible!
After the service work has been completed (e.g., exchange of SBS, work
on DC supply mains, or repair of Inverter) and if the system is in proper
working order, the MBS switch can be returned to Position 0 (UPS
operation).
81
The states of the MBS switch Positions 1 (Load on Bypass Input) or 2

(Load on Inverter Output) are indicated by two flashing LEDs on the SBS
front panel as shown below.
Figure 51 MBS State: "Load on Bypass AC Input"
Figure 52 MBS State: "Load on Inverter Output"
8.2 EXCHANGE OF MODULES

a) Exchange of an Inverter Module
In this case, the Manual Bypass Switch does not need to be used.
However, if this is desired for any reason, the MBS must be switched to
Position 1 (Load on Bypass Input).
Removal of an Inverter Module:
Switch the inverter off using the front panel ON/OFF switch (if the
remaining inverters in the system cannot take over the load, the
SBS will transfer the connected load to the mains supply).
Remove the four retaining screws.
Pull the unit out of the front of the cabinet.

(Attention! See warning statement in paragraph 4.4.2)
Insertion of the replacement Inverter Module:
The replacement inverter module must be switched off!
82
The circuit breaker (F1) on the rear of the module must be

switched on!
Slide the inverter module into the inverter shelf firmly until the
unit is flush with the frame of the cabinet.
Screw in the four retaining screws.
Switch the inverter on.
If necessary, turn the MBS to position 0 (UPS operation).
b) Exchange of the SBS module
Warning!
The Manual Bypass Switch must be used in this case
otherwise there will be an interruption in the power supply
to the load equipment. It must be established beforehand,
which of the scenarios described in Section 8.1 is valid
(check the state of the SBS and the operation mode!)
Removal of the SBS:
After the MBS has been turned to Position 1 or 2 record the position of the
switch. The 4 retaining screws are removed and the SBS is pulled out of
the front of the cabinet. This simultaneously removes the operating
element of the MBS from its mounting shaft. The MBS is mechanically
fastened to the SBS.
Insertion of the SBS:
If not already done, the bypass handle assembly must be mounted onto
the new SBS. Before the SBS is replaced into the cabinet, the operating
element of the Manual Bypass Switch must be turned to position 1 or 2,
according to the position of the switch before the SBS was removed. The
SBS is pushed into the free slot until the unit is flush with the frame of the
cabinet. The four retaining screws are screwed back in. Finally, the MBS
must be turned back to position 0 (UPS operation).
83
8.3 INCREASING SYSTEM CAPACITY

The inverter system can be equipped with a maximum of five inverter
modules. Additional modules can be added to the system if there are
unused inverter shelves. The system can be upgraded during running
operations without the need to switch off other components or the need to
put the system into Bypass Mode via the MBS. Following is the expansion
procedure. It is assumed that the DC input cable and upstream breaker or
fuse have been installed for the inverter shelf to be used.
1. Although these modules are hot-swappable, it is best to have the

upstream DC input breaker in the OFF position (or fuse removed) until
the module has been installed and secured.
2. Remove the module shelf coverplate(s) as required.
3. Refer to Figure 9. Ensure that the ON/OFF Switch S1 on the front

panel is in the OFF position.
4. Refer to Figure 11. Switch Circuit Breaker F1 located on the rear of the
new inverter module(s) to the ON (1) position.
5. Insert the new inverter module firmly into the shelf until it is flush with
the other module front panels, securing it with the four retaining screws
used for the coverplate. CAUTION: modules weigh 77lb (35kg).
6. Close the upstream breaker/fuse feeding the new module.
7. Set Switch S1 to the ON position.
After the module‟s internal start-up sequence is complete, the inverter is

brought into parallel operation automatically and the load current is then
evenly distributed between all inverter modules that are in operation.
8.4 SERVICE SOFTWARE

System management and troubleshooting can be carried out via the MCU
service software. TEBE MCU Service Software is available for field
service. It installs typically in a laptop computer which requires a null
modem cable to interconnect with the RS-232 service port on the MCU.
Only trained service staff should use this software as inadvertent changes
to settings can affect system operation. Contact factory for further
information. Reference TEBE MCU Service Manual 028-0008-030.

APPENDIX B - PERFORMANCE TESTING

It is recommended that the following testing be performed by
Benning field service personnel. Doing so will add an additional year
of warranty on this system.
B.1 PRELIMINARIES TO PERFORMANCE TEST

The site manager must be informed of the test to be performed, and that
alarms will be sent (if connected) to the local Building Alarm Center and/or
Network Operations Center.
Warning!
During the performance test, pay attention to all safety

notes located in Section 1. In addition, these inverters may
be fed from multiple power sources, so additional
precautions must be taken.
