UPS Switch on Procedures 10 to 30kVA The following stages have to be carried out chronologically. If alarms are displayed on the mimic- panel, the problem has to be solved before going any further. 1. Open the UPS doors to gain access to the main power switches. 2.
Turn on the S5 (The battery circuit breaker) into “1” position or insert the battery fuse. By this way, the battery group is connected to the UPS. Once you see the green inverter led on the front panel then the UPS system is now ready for use.
5.4 Transfer to Maintenance By Pass Mode 40 to 200kVA This procedure should be followed when turning from normal operation to maintenance bypass. This procedure can be used for supplying temporary mains voltage to the system during the maintenance of the UPS or in case of failure. 1.
5.6 Transfer from Maintenance By Pass to Inverter Mode 40 to 200kVA 1. While the S3 switch in closed position”1” (ON) ; turn on (into “1” position) the S2 (static bypass) and S4 UPS output) Switch. 2. Turn on (into “1” position) the S1 (inverter input) switch. 3.
5.9 UPS Shutdown Procedures 40 to 200kVA All the power switches, isolators and circuit breakers should be turned off, with the following sequence. (Turn off into “0” (OFF) position). There will be no voltage on the load. WARNING!!! This procedure will cut the energy of all the equipments that are connected to UPS output.
6.1 Introduction The PARALLEL connection of PYRAMID-PLUS SYSTEMS allow high security by power redundant operation. 6.2 Parallel Operation Modes Parallel operation is in 3 modes: • SYMETRIC PARALLEL operation • REDUNDANT parallel operation • HOT STANDBY operation CAUTION!!! Do not set the operation modes of the parallel connected UPSs to ON-LINE, otherwise serious damage may occur.
UPS1 BATT.1 AC/DC -1 INVERTER 1 LINE OUTPUT UPS2 BATT.2 AC/DC -2 INVERTER 2 Figure 6-1 Parallel connection 6.2.2 Parallel Redundant Mode At this mode if one of the UPS fails, the other UPS continues to feed load. Assume that UPS1 on figure 6-1 is failed, SB1 and SB2 static switches shall turn off and the UPS 1 is isolated from load.
6.3 Parallel Operation Mode Fault Codes FAULT DESCRIPTION SLAVE ups search for the same operating mode with MASTER ups ,if they are different this message locates on LCD panel. A23 MODE FAILURE Change the operation mode of SLAVE ups from SETTINGS MENU. Don’t forget to press ENTER key for 3 seconds Turn off the SLAVE ups and turn on again.

UPS Switch on Procedure in Parallel Mode: With all the switches and fuses (S1,S2, S3, S4 and S5) in “OFF” “0” position and with S6 in “NORMAL” position. Turn on the parallel connected UPS’s, UPS1 and UPS2 separately as follows: 1.
6.6 Transfer to Maintenance By-Pass Mode Bring S6 (static by-pass) into “STATIC BYPASS” position of either one of the UPS’s. See that the red coloured by-pass leds on the front panels of both UPS’s are lit. (Static bypass operation) Turn on S3 switches (maintenance bypass) of both UPS’s. Turn off S4 switches (AC output) of both UPS’s.
PYRAMID-PLUS UPS’s can be provided with boards that are designed as communication interface with computer systems or remote monitoring panels. The dry contacts interface The serial link interface The remote signalling/control panel and its connection interface 7.1 Serial Link Interface Using serial link interface which is installed in your system, user can get all information about UPS .
Modem Connection TELESERVICE UPS can be controlled through a normal telephone line by means of a remote operator connected through a PC with modem device, who performs a phone call to the UPS connected number. So the operator can see all parameters and control the UPS (if permitted from SETTINGS MENU). 7.3.1 Hardware Configuration All needs for modem connection is as follows : •...
