UNDERSTANDING HOW IT WORKS
The FALCON® ED Series represents one of the
smallest and most compact units of the FALCON®
Voltage and Frequency Converter product line. In the
tradition of all FALCON® products, it maintains the
highest reliability and the most complete on-line,
sinewave power conversion and protection available.
An on-line, sinewave topology is the only total solution
to the complex frequency conversion problem. It
effectively provides just what it says, true frequency
conversion. Voltage conversion transformers alone
can not provide the necessary frequency conversion
necessary to allow the operation of frequency
dependant equipment in 50/60 or 60/50 Hz
international applications.The FALCON® ED
Frequency and Voltage Converter is engineered with
the latest MOSFET/PWM technology for high
efficiency and reliability. With the incorporation on
optional external battery packs, the ED Frequency
and Voltage Converter will also function as a
Regenerative On-Line Uninterruptible Power Supply,
providing back-up power.
Refer to the simplified block diagram, Figure 1, for a
system description. The AC source is rectified and
provides energy for the DC + Choppers and a float
charge to a standby Battery. These DC Choppers
then supply the power to operate the DC/AC Inverter.
With optional external battery pack(s), during a utility
power-loss, the AC rectification and battery charging
capabilities of the ED become inactive. The fully-
charged battery, however, supplies the necessary
power requirement to maintain the remaining system
blocks.

FIGURE 1: FALCON ED SERIES BLOCK DIAGRAM
The FALCON® ED on-line topology is unique to
other on-line systems, in that, it is designed to meet
the needs of non-linear loads. A computer, with its
switching power supply, is considered a non-linear
load which can be very abusive to most power
protection equipment and could decrease its life-
expectancy. The FALCON® ED unit is specially
devised to accept these loads and protect them
efficiently without any of the output waveform
degradation.
Referring again to the figure below, you will notice a
built-in safeguard. If the unit inadvertently
experiences an extreme over temperature situation
that causes inverter malfunction, it will shutdown the
inverter to protect the inverter.
ED-3000-x & ED-4000-x models incorporate the
same topology, except in a dual parallel scheme
using a parallel controller board providing a common
frequency clock.

SUMMARY OF INDICATORS AND CONTROLS
AC - A green L.E.D. that is illuminated when both the
power On/Off switch is "ON" and there is utility power
present at the input of the FALCON® ED unit.
INV - A green L.E.D. that illuminates when the ED's
Inverter is operating and powering the load outlets.
ALM - A red L.E.D. that illuminates if the Inverter
malfunctions and is no longer supplying power to the
load outlets.
OPTIONAL LOW BATT. - A red L.E.D. that
illuminates when the ED unit has been operating in
the battery mode and the back-up time has almost
been depleted. This indicator is a warning that the
ED will discontinue operation shortly.
LOAD - Two green L.E.D.s one yellow L.E.D. and
one red L.E.D. that illuminate to indicate the amount
of load the Inverter is powering at the load outlets.
The green L.E.D. represents approximately 50% and
75% of full load, respectively. The yellow L.E.D.
represents full load. The red L.E.D. indicates an
OVERLOAD situation and the ED will discontinue
operation shortly.
Page 8
SIGNAL - A DB-9, subminiature, female connector
provided for sophisticated computer monitoring
systems. See SIGNALS AND INTERFACING Section
for specific pin-out. Other interface and pin outs are
available upon request.
OUTPUT - Output receptacles provided for critical
loads. Continuous power is provided here and the
amount is monitored by the LOAD L.E.D.s as long as
the Inverter is functioning. NEMA 5-15R (120V output)
or 6-20R (230V output) receptacles are provided.
Identification Label - The FALCON® ED's model
and serial numbers are located here. Always refer to
this information during correspondence with the
factory.
INPUT - The power inlet for utility power to operate
the unit. The six foot power cord provided with a
special unique Amp style connector to prevent
missconnection of the unit.
FUSE - This is the input protection line fuse to the ED
unit.
FUSE - This is the output protection fuse to the load.
Cooling Fans - These devices force cool air into the
ED unit so it can maintain longer and more efficient
operation.
Power ON/OFF Switch - The system power switch
that allows utility power to activate the Inverter.
STORAGE & INSTALLATION
If the unit is to be stored and has optional battery
pack(s), it is recommended to refresh the internal
battery at least once every 90 days. To do this, plug
the system in, turn the power On/Off switch "ON" and
allow to idle for at least 24 hours.
The ED unit is designed for installation in a protected
environment. The system is lightweight and can be
easily moved. Some important points to consider
when positioning a unit for operation:
* A properly rated (preferably dedicated) outlet is
accessible for the six foot power cord supplied with
the unit. It is not recommended to modify the
supplied cord in any way nor should an extension
cord of any kind be used. The cord paths in the
system installation should remain clear of foot
traffic or anything else that may disturb permanent
connection.
* The installation site should maintain an ambient air
temperature of less than 104oF (40oC). When the
environment for the system remains cooler during
operation, there is less stress on the batteries and
the internal electronics.
Page 9
* The air inlets, vents and fan should not be
obstructed or blocked in any way. The more
breathing space the system has, the cooler it
operates.
* The air should remain free from excessive dust and
chemical fumes.
* The unit may be placed on a desktop with your
computer equipment or along side the desk or
console. It may be placed in any position, except
upside down, provided that all the above
requirements are maintained.
Once a location has been selected and the unit is
installed, it is ready for operation.
IF OPTIONAL BATTERY PACK(S) ARE TO BE
USED, ALLOW AT LEAST 24 HOURS, AFTER THE
SYSTEM IS FIRST INSTALLED, TO FULLY
CHARGE THE INTERNAL BATTERY TO A
MAXIMUM STATE.
OPERATION
The FALCON® ED unit is very simple to use.
• Be sure the power cord is plugged into the nearest
available,appropriately rated wall outlet.
• Activate the power switch to the "ON" position.
• The green AC light illuminates.
• The green INV light illuminates.
If optional battery packs are installed, leave the
power switch "ON" and unplug the power cord from
the wall. This will simulate a power loss to test
battery operation.
• The green AC light will shut off.
• An intermittent audible alarm will sound.
The system will continue to operate. If this were to
continue for a long while, the red LOW BATTERY
light would illuminate, indicating that battery back-up
time is ending and system shutdown is imminent.
The intermittent alarm will become continuous at this
point. The ED unit will auto-matically shut itself off to
avoid excessive battery discharge. When power
returns, normal operation of the ED unit resumes
without any operator adjustment.
The duration of actual battery back-up time and the
low battery condition varies depending on the
amount of load, charge on the battery, and condition
of the battery. See SPECIFICATIONS Section for
approximate hold-up times at 100% and 50% loads.
Plug the system power cord in again and turn the
power switch "OFF".
Page 10
Turn off the devices you wish to plug into the ED.
Plug them into the outlets labeled OUTPUT at the
rear of the ED unit.
• Activate the ED unit power switch to the "ON"
position.
• Turn "ON" each of your devices.
• Some of the LOAD indicators may illuminate. The
amount of load determines the actual number of
indicators lit.
The bottom green L.E.D. signifies approximately
50% of load capacity. The second green L.E.D.
represents approximately 75% of load capacity. If
the yellow L.E.D. illuminates, full load has been
achieved. If the red light illuminates, an OVERLOAD
condition is present. If this situation continues for
about 15 seconds, the unit will automatically shut off.
If the system overheats or the Inverter should fail, the
alarm sounds a continuous tone and the red ALM
light will illuminate.
To escape this condition, the problem must first be
corrected then turn the ED unit power switch "OFF",
then back "ON".
WARNING: The power switch acts as a system
ON/OFF switch. When this switch is turned "OFF",
power is lost to the entire unit including all outlets at
the rear of the ED unit.
