Chapter 2 Display and Operation Elements (Active) The Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) is connected between AC power and the load. It protects the load against mains disturbances, especially power failures. Its operation is based on the on-line principle. The connected load is supplied power through the UPS’s inverter. Power disturbances from the mains are suppressed which increases the loads’ operational security (PC, network server, multi-user systems etc.) In the event of a mains failu

3.2.2 Mechanical Attachment The units must be attached in the rack on both sides. When using the attached mounting rails, the single unit can easily be inserted into a 2 U mounting space or removed from it. In order to attach the unit in the horizontal position, the front-plate has to be attached to the 19-inch rack at the indicated points on both sides of the unit. Do not attach the unit only at the front-plate. This may damage the unit and/or other mounted units. Fig. 5: Mounting the rails

Chapter 5 Operational Characteristics (Active) 5.1 Ready for Operation Check To check the emergency supply feature of the UPS, it must be disconnected from the mains. When correctly functioning with charged batteries, an acoustical signal in intervals of 4 seconds will be heard. The LED “LINE” (line voltage) indicator disappears. When the interval between the acoustical signals is reduced to 1 second, the UPS will supply energy for a maximum of 3 more minutes before it is automatically swit
