Introduction
1.1 Scope
This User’s manual gives basic information about UPS uninterruptible power
supplies: their basic function, their features, how to use them and what to do in case
of trouble. Instructions for shipping, storing, handling and installing the equipment
are also given.
The planning guidelines of this manual describe only the specific demands of UPS
units.
Local legislation and regulations for electrical installations must be followed in
the UPS installation.
This manual is mainly intended for the chief operator/system supervisor, electric
consultants and installation electricians.
The UPS system must be installed by qualified personnel only. Failure to
recognise the electrical hazards could prove fatal.
The installation must be checked by a service engineer from the manufacturer
(or from an agent authorised by the manufacturer).
Chapter Introduction
Describes the purpose and composition of this manual.
Chapter Troubleshooting
Contains troubleshooting information based on the status indications shown on the
monitoring panel.
Product leaflets
Contain the technical specification of each UPS model and options.
Safety Information
Since the UPS unit operates on line power and contains a bank of high-
current back-up batteries, the information in this chapter is important to all
personnel involved.
Installation
The UPS system must be installed by qualified personnel only. Failure to
recognise the electrical hazards could prove fatal.
The installation must be checked by a service engineer from the manufacturer (or
from an agent authorised by the manufacturer).
Operation
NOTE.
The UPS converts the DC-power stored within the battery to AC-power. The
UPS output carries high voltage during line failure. The UPS output carries
high voltage even if the input fuses are removed or the UPS is unplugged from
the mains.
WARNING!
System Description
Uninterruptible Power System will protect different types of sensitive electrical
equipment. It protects them from problems associated with utility power of poor
quality, or a complete loss of power. The following list describes some of the
equipment that the UPS can protect.
• computers
• critical instrumentation
• telecommunications systems
• process control systems
Sensitive electrical equipment needs protection from electrical interference.
Interference from outside the facility (such as lightning, power company accidents
and radio transmissions) and interference from inside the facility (from motors, air
conditioners, vending machines and arc welders, for example) can create problems
in the ac power line to the sensitive equipment. Problems can include the following:
While on-line, the UPS cleans the utility ac power and maintains a constant voltage
at the output to the critical load. These actions help to keep power line problems
from reaching the critical system, where they can damage software and hardware
and cause the equipment to operate erratically.
UPS has three-phase input for the rectifier, and three-phase power supply is needed
for the static and manual bypass. The simplified block diagram of UPS is presented
in fig 3.1.
Fig 3.2 The route of the line power through the UPS unit to the load.
By means of this ac-dc-ac conversion, the line supply to the load will be totally
controlled by the UPS unit. Any interference will be effectively removed, and the load
will receive clean, smooth power all the time.
Fig 3.3 The back-up battery bank provides power to the inverter and to the load.
When the power line supply returns, the dc power to the inverter is again supplied
from the rectifier, and the back-up battery bank is recharged. During restoration of
the power line, the UPS electronics ensures that the output power from the unit will
remain unchanged. Consequently the load (computer etc) will not notice the power
line failure (Long-term power line failures, see page 12).
The mechanical bypass switch is of the “make-before-break” type which makes the
switching continuous. The load will not be affected when using this switch if correct
operating procedures are followed.
Tables 3.1a and 3.1b describe the UPS equipment dimensions, and weights, and the
backup times of battery options, related to the UPS ratings.

0... 40°C
(For the batteries between 0 ... 25°C)
• The equipment must always be protected from moisture, weather and dirt.
If the batteries are stored for more than 6 months they should be charged to
maintain the battery condition.
NOTE.
Never stack the UPS equipment.
1. Make an unloading slope by using the piece of plywood which you will find on
the side of the packing. See figure 5.1. Before unloading check that the slope
hasn’t been broken during transportation. If it is broken, do not use it for
unloading.
2. Raise the cabinet by screwing the feet under the unit out and remove the two
wooden bars.
4. The UPS can now be carefully rolled off the pallet, and placed in its planned
location.
The UPS systems are relatively heavy and extreme care must be taken
when moving them.
5.2 Moving
UPS is equipped with castors for easy movement on the floor. The unit is simply
pushed into place. Because the UPS is heavy, it should be verified that surfaces
on which it is moved are strong enough. See table 3.1b for weights and section
6.3 for floor loadings.
Installation Site
6.1 Environment
When the installation site of the UPS is planned, the dimensions and weights of the
equipment must be taken into consideration.
All the requirements described in UPS physical specification, section 3.4.,
must be met. If they are neglected the safety of personnel during installation
or use, or that the unit will function properly, can not be guaranteed.

Power Connections
The electrical planning and connection of the UPS installation must be done
by qualified personnel only. In the following chapters the five-wire installation of
UPS is described. The installation must comply with all local legislation and
regulations. At the input side the UPS unit can be installed in two ways: single-cable
or two-cable installation. This feature is included in the system in order to save
installation costs as a separate wiring for the bypass line is not required.
If the input power cable or the power distribution module options are installed, refer
to their corresponding product leaflets.
WARNING!
The UPS contains high voltage and current which can injure or kill
personnel and damage equipment.

Electrical shock hazard. There may be high voltages present which can
injure or kill personnel and damage equipment.
WARNING!
• Install the cables between the UPS and the battery cabinet(s).
Refer to tables 7.1...7.4 and figures 7.2, 7.3 ... 7.6, 7.7 and 7.8 for the
connections.
• Remember also to connect the PE cable.
• Check the DC-polarity of the battery installation.
NOTE.
Do not close the F1 and F2. Do not install the battery fuses. The initial start-up
will be made by a representative of the manufacturer or its agent.
NOTE.
All contacts are shown in non-active (normal) mode.
8.2 Cabling
The interface terminals are located under the top cover in UPS units from 7.5 to
25 kVA. In units from 30 to 60 kVA the interface is located behind the front cover of
the UPS.
Data cables for the interface are to be routed via the cable entry used for power
cabling. Strain reliefing must be provided by tying up the cables to the tie-wrap
holders in the UPS cabinet. The interface cable is connected by means of screwable
terminals on the plug-in connectors (see fig 8.2). The length of the cable depends
on the distance from the UPS to the equipment which will use the interface. The
maximum recommended length is 100 metres (for the display interface 50 m).
Initial Start-Up
The initial start-up procedure for UPS includes as inspection of the installation and a
complete functional check of the UPS.
Initial start up (or commissioning) is always performed by a service engineer of the
manufacturer or a representative of an agent authorised by the manufacturer.
Otherwise the proper operation and safety of the UPS system cannot be
guaranteed.
During commissioning the representative of the manufacturer will train the users to
operate the UPS system.
This starting up procedure is valid for a properly-installed, but shut-off UPS unit
which is manually bypassed (S1 is in the BYPASS position). Be careful to perform
only the operations described. The UPS unit contains high voltages which could be
fatal!
1. Close circuit breaker F1 (to position I) The rectifier will start and the
monitoring circuitry will be
powered.
3. Close circuit breaker F2 (to position F2) The inverter will start up and the
UPS will synchronise to the mains.
4. Wait until the monitoring panel shows LED is blinking on the monitoring

6. Check that the UPS BYPASSED LED The supply is now on inverter.
turns off within 15 seconds.
NOTE.
Do not leave the S1 switch in the intermediate position. (30 - 60 kVA units only)
If the UPS cannot synchronise with the line frequency, the transfer to inverter will be
inhibited by the surveillance circuitry and the UPS BYPASSED LED stays on. Wait
for a few minutes.
All procedures inside the UPS cabinet have been performed when only the green
UPS ON light is lit. The UPS unit is now in full operation, and needs no more
attention. It is preferable, however, to check its function every now and then. In case
of a malfunction, follow the given indications and the instructions in this manual.
The UPS unit does not have to be shut down at the end of each day. The unit is
designed to cope with a continuous load from the day it is installed until the battery
bank needs to be changed. In general, the occasions on which the unit must be shut
down are before expected long-term power line failures, during battery bank
changes and after some fault conditions.
The stopping procedure described here is applicable to a properly operating UPS
unit.
Be careful to perform only the operations described. The UPS unit contains
high voltage which could be fatal!
3. Turn the mechanical bypass switch The UPS will be bypassed and

NOTE.
Do not leave the S1 switch in the intermediate position. (30 - 60 kVA units
only)
The UPS unit has now been stopped, and the load receives its power directly from
the power line through the mechanical bypass switch.
Troubleshooting
Should a malfunction occur, the described troubleshooting procedure can be used
as an aid by the operator. The procedure includes simple remedial steps. If the fault
or the malfunction seems to be more complicated, a service engineer should be
called.
From the operator’s point of view, troubleshooting starts when a fault is indicated by
the indicators on the monitoring panel, or no power is available at the output even
though the unit is on.
The status of the unit is indicated by the LEDs and the buzzer on the monitoring
panel. An interface is also available for connection to a computer.
Preventive Maintenance
You can expect long, trouble-free operation from the UPS with a minimum of
preventive maintenance. To guarantee the operation of your critical system the
following issues are important:
12.1 Environment
The area around the UPS should be kept relatively clean and free of dust. The user
should periodically check that there is not too much dust in the UPS environment.
The temperature and humidity of the air should be within specified limits. If the
temperature is high the lifetime of the battery bank can be drastically reduced.
It is essential to maintain the ventilation clearances and to check the free air flow
from time to time.
a) The battery support test checks the battery condition by lowering the rectifier
output voltage below the nominal battery bank voltage for 25 seconds. If the
nominal back-up time is 10 minutes or shorter the test can be done only if the
load is less or equal to 75 % of the nominal load. With a longer back-up time
the test is always performed. The automatic battery support test is activated
by authorised service personnel only. If the test is activated it is performed
every 30th day.
If the battery bank voltage reaches the rectifier output voltage within 25
seconds, the UPS ALARM LED is blinking and the buzzer gives 24 beeps at
1.5 second intervals. A Check Battery Condition message will be sent to the
UPS Information Unit (option).
If the test cannot be performed, it is interrupted. The test will be tried again
after 18 hours.
1. Turn on all equipment normally connected to the UPS. Also any other known
load which is below nominal can be used.
2. Turn off the utility ac power to the UPS. The “LINE FAILURE” LED will be lit,
and the buzzer will give a signal every 10 seconds. The UPS is now running
on battery.
3. Let the UPS run on battery until the buzzer gives a continuous beeping sound.
At this point approximately one third of the battery capacity is left.
The batteries have now been properly discharged. Turn on the utility ac power
and the rectifier starts to charge the batteries.
WARNING!

The rectifier and static switch are combined to one heat sink (Module A1) in the UPS 9000 Series
units from 7.5 to 25 kVA. The rectifier and the static switch are separate modules (A1 and A5) in
UPS 9000 series' units from 30 to 60 kVA. The following replacement and calibration instructions
are written according to separate modules but are valid to all power ratings.
Note: Even if the rectifier and the static switch are built into common heat sink module each one
operates individually. Also note in case of combined module that when replacing, for example, the
static switch the rectifier is also replaced and consequently it's operation must be verified also.
After the Rectifier Module or the Rectifier Control Circuit is replaced the following must be checked,
calibrated in the PCBAS Rectifier Control Board:
Measure the rectifier output voltage at the DC rails of the inverter bridge by DMM and adjust it if
necessary to 432 +0,5 ,- 0 VDC by trimmer R5 (U) of the rectifier board.
Note: Float charge at 2,25V/cell is a standard setting, if not otherwise specified by the
battery manufacturer !
The current limit is set according to the UPS power rating by removing the resistors according
the attached table. Rectifier control boards sold as spare parts, are equipped with all resistors
mentioned in this table.

1 GENERAL
There are two kind of inverter modules. While units 7.5 to 25 kVA include one three-phase inverter
bridge module (A2), 30 to 60 kVA units contain three inverter modules (A2...A4). If an inverter module
has to be replaced, all power to the unit’s components, respective mechanically bypassed, while F1 and
F2 have to be switched off.
Note: After a unit has been switched off, it takes about 5 minutes till the DC bus voltage is depleted to
a save level (<50V).
The procedure to be followed is generally applicable for all units ( 7.5 - 60kVA). Differences are
pointed out by respective power range in parentheses.
2 PROCEDURE
3.2 30 – 60kVA
The modules current limit is set by modifying the current command amplitude voltage divider on
the half bridge control PCB. is done by clipping off resistors according to the diagram on the PCB
and on the schematic. The column to the left of the matrix denotes the current rating of the IGBT‘s
used and the X‘s in the matrix mean that the resistor is mounted. The resistors are on the top left
corner of the PCB between the flat cable connector X101 and the current sensor A100. If the
current limit is adjusted, Hall offset will have to be re-adjusted, see below
UPS Power Rating Current limit R100 R136 R137

50 - 60 kVA 400 A X X
A hall element current sensor is used to measure a module’s output current. The initial offset of the
device requires trimming during PCB testing. This is performed at factory. If for some reason the offset
is not correct the unit may emit a low frequency rumble with the output evidencing distortion due to a
DC component circulating in the output transformer. The field setting of the offset requires a DC volt
meter and auxiliary supply to the inverter modules (3-phase bridge module) and control board. These
are normally supplied from the DC/DC converter on the transformer board. Three methods will be
described (of which 4.3 is the easiest and mostly used).
4.1 If a 300-430V DC supply is available this can be connected to the transformer board DC input
X17 after removing the connector to disconnect the main circuit. After the DC/DC converter has
started the control board will automatically generate the current commands to the inverter
modules (3-phase bridge module) and the offset can be adjusted by connecting the DC volt meter
to test point TP101 (TP101, 201, 301) outer pins on the module/PCB in question and adjusting
trimmer R106 (R106, 206, 306) for zero mV. The test point(s) and trimmer(s) are located near
the current sensor(s) A100 (A100, 200, 300).
4.2 The offset can also be adjusted without the control board but this requires the current command
input(s) to be terminated to ground with a 100R resistor(s) to simulate control board output
impedance. Auxiliary power has to be supplied from a separate power supply to the inverter
control board (3-phase bridge module) with the trimming as above. The current command input
is accessible at the X101 end of the current limit setting resistors, ground and DC input at 12V
regulator A102 (A102, 202, 302) terminals. Center and heat sink are ground, left pin seen from
regulator front is for the unregulated 14-20 DC input and the right pin is regulated 12V.
4.3 The offset can also be adjusted, while the unit is in operation, but be aware, that there are
hazardous voltages (DC bus, inverter output) around the test points. Make sure, that the mech.
bypass switch S1 is in bypass position and disconnect the terminals X2 (L1/L2/L3/N) temporary
from the transformer board (Note: While the bypass input power is connected, there is hazardous
voltage at terminals X2). Connect a DMM (low mV range) to TP101 (TP201, TP301) and turn
the rectifier on via F1. Keep F2 switched off. Once the green LEDs of all three phases at the
inverter control board(s) are lit, adjust for zero offset (0 ±2mV) by trimmers R106, (R206,
R306). Since the hall offset re-setting of one phase might influence the hall offset value of
another phase, repeat measuring the test points and re-setting, until all three hall offset values
are within the limit. Reconnect terminals X2 of the transformer board, turn the battery circuit
breaker F2 on, and proceed with point 5.
If switching Frequency is low (<5 kHz, -> if settings have not been touched, typical sign of altered or
Defective output filter capacitors) and output voltage wave form is distorted the switching frequency
should be adjusted. Switching frequency can be measured at test point(s) TP 100 (TP200, TP300) outer
(upper) pins. The switching frequency shall be set to 6 ±0,1 kHz at the inverter control board while no
load is connected to the inverter. Too high switching frequency, >7 kHz causes heating problems of the
inverter module and is therefore not acceptable. All three phases shall be adjusted. Sufficient meters
are Fluke 8060A (range 20VAC) range, or Fluke 87 series (AC auto range). Since the switching
frequency re-setting of one phase might influence the switching frequency value of another phase,
repeat measuring the test points and re-setting, until the switching frequency values of all 3 phases are
within the limit.
6 SNUBBER BOARD
The snubber board in 30-60kVA units contains no field replaceable or adjustable parts. To replace the
snubber board, the inverter module has to removed. The board can be removed by unscrewing the four
screws connecting the board to the IGBT‘s and removing the four faston connectors on board top right
corner. After replacement make sure, that the fastons are properly connected, as this has a strong effect
on the unit’s life time. The left and right pair of connectors are cabled each to one of the two power
resistors on the module.
Units 7.5-25kVA have no snubber board the components being assembled on the 3-phase bridge
module. The snubber capacitor discharge resistors are however also mounted on the module side plate
and connected to the PCB via X103, 203, 303. The common point of the three two resistor sets comes
to X103, 203, 303 middle terminals.
1. GENERAL
The board can be replaced from the front of the unit for the power range 30-60kVA and
from the top for 7.5-25kVA units. Circuit breakers F1 (rectifier input) and F2 (battery)
must be switched off, but the unit may supply the load via mechanical by-pass. If the unit
has been in operation, wait after having turned it off for at least five minutes, until the DC
bus voltage to decreased to a safe level (< 50V).
Note: Hazardous voltages are present inside the unit while the load is supplied via bypass
switch S1, not to forget the ”feed back” voltage from the (internal/external) battery to F2,
and the bypass voltage to the top of K2.
Be also aware, while line is connected to the unit, terminals X2 of the transformer
board are under power !!!
2. PROCEDURE
2.1 30-60kVA. Open the front door of the unit, remove the lower – and loosen the upper
retaining screw of the left front panel and lift it off to the left side of the unit. If necessary,
disconnect the ribbon cable to the display panel.
Disconnect all cables to the transformer board. Remove the earth screw at PCB’s lower
edge, disengage it from it’s plastic supports and lift it off. Re-assembling vice versa.
2.2 7.5-25kVA. Open front door and remove the two screws of the cover plate. Lift it’s front
up, slide it towards the back and remove it.
Disconnect all cables to the transformer board. Remove the earth screw at PCB’s edge,
towards the logic board, disengage it from it’s plastic supports and lift it off.
Re-assembling vice versa.
3. CALIBRATION
For the calibration of the transformer board, an UIU (UPS Information Unit) is required.
Note: Since the output voltage of UPS is the power source to the UIU, either the inverter has to
in operation (K1 closed), or the unit has to be in bypass operation (via static switch), to provide
the necessary input to the auxiliary power supply of the UIU. The initialization of the UIU lasts
about one minute.
Alternative: If the UIU shall be functional at all times, remove the socket X701 from the
transformer board and connect the two pins of X701 temporary to a 230VAC source.
References: Transformer board layout dwg. 1000972, circuit diagram 1001933.
This instruction shall be followed while replacing the logic board 10 00 282.
Be sure that the rectifier input circuit breaker (F1) and the battery circuit breaker (F2)
Are switched off and the DC bus is depleted (approx. 5 minutes after F1 and F2 has
Been switched off, the DC bus voltage shall be close to zero). Disconnect the logic
board remove it.
Make sure, that the new logic board is a factory tested spare part by checking it for it’s
red sticker including date when tested and signature of the tester.
If the processors of the replaced board cannot be used anymore, make sure of the
following:
Check the program of the processor A1 -> it shall match the size (type) of the UPS:
Check both processors as well their pins for correct assembling to their sockets
Check and set the dip switches of S1, S2 and S3 to their correct positions by referring
to the replaced board.
Place the new board into the unit and reconnect it. Recheck every step before switching
on power.
CALIBRATION
1. Switch circuit breaker F1 on and wait until the green LED of the front panel is blinking. Do
not yet turn on battery circuit breaker F2 !
2. Connect a DMM between TP10 and GND and adjust the voltage to the respective sine
reference value (refer to table above), ± 0,001VAC with trimmer R111.
3. Connect the DMM between TP11 and GND and adjust the voltage to the respective sine
reference value(refer to table above), ± 0,001VAC with trimmer R137.
4. Connect the DMM between TP12 and GND and check, if the voltage is within the limit of
the respective sine reference value (refer to table above), ± 0,01 VAC. If not, re-adjust
according steps 2 and 3.
5. Switch circuit breaker F2 on -> inverter starts, and connect the UIU to the transformer
board terminal X20.
6. Measure the UPS inverter voltages (L1/L2/L3 to N) at the ”upper” terminals of contactor K1
with a DMM and set them with trimmers R104 (L1), R204 (L2) and R304 (L3) to the values
displayed in the UIU sub menu ”OUTPUT”, ±2VAC.
7. Measure and if necessary, adjust all three output voltages with trimmer R111 of the logic
board to the specified level.
8. While the bypass input power is present, measure the voltage between inverter output L1 and
bypass input L1 with a DMM and adjust this value sychronisation value with trimmer R102
of the logic board to the possible mininum.

Maintenance Procedure, 10 03 671. Please observe the chapter Safety Precautions from the above
mentioned document.
Start up the UPS and let it run in manual bypass wherever possible. The following activities will
mainly be performed with voltage on. Ensure all activities are performed safely.
Measuring instruments:
INPUT VOLTAGE
Measure line input voltage to neutral for each phase at the input terminals. Note measurements in
report. If voltage is out of, or close to, specification, (230V ± 15%), check with customer about reason
and possibilities for improvement.
Measure the voltage between neutral and protective earth. The voltage shall be less than 2.5V. If not
follow up and adjust the connections in the neutral line.
RECTIFIER
Turn on F1.
Measure from the DC bus bar by DMM that the battery float voltage is 432 VDC +/- 1 V (equals
2,25V/cell). If needed adjust it by R5 on the Rectifier Board.
Note: Float charge at 2,25V/cell is a standard setting, if not otherwise specified by the battery
manufacturer !
NOTE: This test is recommended to be done after the actual Back-up time test.
Transfer the load to manual bypass line and shut down the unit. Disconnect plug X23 from the
transformer board to block the inverter.
Turn on F1. Wait that the rectifier starts up and turn on F2.
Measure the battery recharging current by DC-current clamp (or from the display) and verify the right
current limit according to the unit type:
Measure the input currents from all three phases by current clamp and verify that they are balanced
within ± 10%. Adjust by trimmers R1, R2 and/or R3 on the rectifier control board if needed.
INVERTER
Connect the oscilloscope to the output voltages of the inverter. Ground lead neutral.
Start up the unit by turning on F1 and F2.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
1. General
This document describes the function of the parts and modules of the UPS 9000 based on the
schematic diagram. A general description of the UPS 9000 operation can be found in the user’s
and installation manual, doc. number 10 01 184.
The unit consists of several modules (subassemblies), of which there are separate functional
descriptions, as well as components mounted in the main assembly. The modules handling the
power conversion are:
9075..9250 9300..9600
The function of the different size UPS’s is almost identical, but in the smaller power range, the
rectifier and static switch modules (A1, A5) are mechanically combined to a single module A1,
and the inverter module A2 contains the circuitry of all three phases.
Additional modules are the Transformer Board A6, which interfaces between the different voltage
and current levels, the Logic Control Board A7, which handles the control of the entire unit, the
RFI board A8 and the Display Board A9.
2. Rectifier
The rectifier is supplied with three phase power from Input Line 1 through the circuit breaker F1. F1
has a thermal breaking characteristic to protect the incoming line in case of a fault. Additionally F1
can be tripped by the logic control A7 through a trip coil driver circuit on the transformer board A6,
when the unit is shut down completely. F1 is also used manually when turning on the unit.
The three phase inductor L3 together with capacitor(s) C1 is tuned to the fifth harmonic frequency,
and provides a path for these harmonic currents. The purpose for this is to greatly improve the input
power factor.
Inductors L4 to L7 are small radio frequency inductors, which together with the capacitors on RFI
board A8 lower the high frequency content of the input current.

Inductor L1 is the main inductor of the rectifier, and converts the switched waveforms of the
thyristor circuitry to the sinusoidal waveform of the line voltage. The rectifier control circuit gets
its auxiliary power and phase reference from the connections on the line side of inductor L1. Note
that the neutral line is only used for this and carries no power.
Thermal sensors on inductors L1 and L3 monitor the temperature of these inductors, and the signal
is fed to the logic control through the flat cable connected to X8.
The rectifier gives out a regulated DC voltage which is fed to the inverter bridges. The same voltage
is also fed to the battery through the Hall-effect battery current measuring device B2. Inductor L2
serves to reduce the ripple current in the battery in steady state operation, improving battery lifetime.
Battery circuit breaker F2 protects the battery wiring circuit, and is also operated manually when
turning the unit on and off. Additionally it can be turned off by the control logic through the trip coil.
The function of the rectifier is self contained and normally independent of the control logic. The
control cable connected to X8 carries information from the thermal sensors, and a monitoring signal
indicating that triggering pulses to the thyristors are present. The logic control also gives two signals
to the rectifier module, one for a lowered output voltage level used for testing battery operation and
one that can inhibit the rectifier operation completely in case of a failure.
3. Inverter
The 9000 three-phase inverter consists of three identical inverter leg modules A2-A4, or a single
module A2 containing the same circuits in the smaller power range, a three phase transformer T1
and the output filter capacitors C2-C7. L8-L10 are small ferrites for RFI suppression.

The inverter legs take power from the DC bus, and each feed a switching current into one phase of
the transformer’s delta-coupled primary winding. The switching frequency components are filtered
out by the capacitors at the output, which form a filter in conjunction with the built in leakage
inductance of the transformer.
The output voltage waveforms are compared to reference sine waves on the logic control board A7,
and the amount of current fed at each instant by the inverter legs is controlled in such a way, that the
desired output voltage is maintained irrespective of the load.

Each inverter leg is identical, and consists of two IGBT power switches, their gate drive circuits,
snubber circuits, the current control circuit and the DC capacitors.
In UPS 9300-9600 each inverter leg is mechanically built as a module, with the power switches on a
heat sink including a fan, and the electronic circuitry on a printed circuit board and the snubber
circuits on another. The three power terminals ( DC+, DC - and Output ) are copper rails, and the
control signaling is connected by a flat cable (X1-X3).
In UPS 9075-9250 all three legs are assembled as a single module with all circuitry on a single
circuit board. The control signals also come through a single flat cable connected to X100.

The gate drive circuits drive the IGBT’s on and off according to the command from the current
control circuit. The gate drive includes a protection circuit, that monitors the on state voltage of the
IGBT. Should the voltage rise when the IGBT is in the conducting state, the gate drive immediately
turns the device off. This provides an effective protection against direct short circuit of the bridge.
A current command functions as input to the current control circuit. This is compared to the actual
output current, measured by a Hall-effect device, and either the upper or lower switch is turned on,
dependent on whether the current command is higher or lower than the actual current.
The current command can be an analogue voltage, in which case the average output current will
follow the command, switching at a frequency depending on the current control circuit hysteresis,
the switched voltage and the inductance in series with the output.
The maximum output current is limited by clamping the current command voltage to a maximum
voltage that corresponds to the maximum allowable current. Thus the bridge is inherently current
limited, and will go into current limitation if overloaded or short circuited. The value of the current
limit is set for each power size by cut-away resistors on the inverter board(s).
Isolation from the power circuit is provided between the current control circuit and the gate drives
by small ferrite transformers.
If the current command is a square wave of ± 10 Volts, the switching of the upper and the lower
switches will follow the square wave, unless the current limit is reached.
In addition to the current control signal, an on/off control signal and feedback signals from the fault
protection circuit and a thermal sensor in each module are included in the control flat cable(s).

4. Transformer
The inverter transformer T1 is a three phase transformer with a delta/star connection. The primary
is connected to the three inverter leg outputs and the secondary gives the UPS output voltage.
The leakage inductance between primary and secondary of the transformer is specified to 6%. This
kind of inductance comes quite naturally to a transformer of this size without any special
constructions. The inverter is designed to utilize this inductance for filtering the output, and no
separate inductors are needed.
Thermal sensors in the transformer are connected to the logic control A7 through the transformer
board A6.
5. Static switch
The static bypass switch provides a rapid transfer of the load from the inverter to the line, if a
condition where the inverter cannot feed the load is detected. The static switch is fed from Input
Line 2 through the back-feed protection contactor K2. This ac controlled contactor is operating only
when there is voltage on the Input Line 2.
The static switch consists of three pairs of anti-parallel thyristors, that are controlled on or off by
high frequency switching circuitry on the static switch trigger circuit board. The board derives its
power from the line voltage and is controlled on/off by the Logic Control A7 via the a flat cable at
X4 going through the transformer board A6. The cable also carries a signal that monitors the voltage
over the thyristor switches, enabling the logic to detect any malfunction in the thyristors, and an
auxiliary power feed taken from the bypass line to the transformer board A6 auxiliary power supply.
When the static bypass switch is operating, the inverter output contactor K1 is opened, to disconnect
the inverter from the load.
In the bigger units the static switch is a separate module A5, but in the smaller range the power
components share the same heat-sink with the rectifier, and the static switch trigger board is
mounted on the same module A1 as the rectifier control board.
6. Mechanical Bypass
The mechanical bypass switch S1 operates in parallel with the static switch and provides a feed to
the load that is independent of the other UPS modules. The switch is of the make before break type.
An auxiliary contact on this switch signals the control logic when the switch is operated, enabling
the logic to control the static switch in parallel with the mechanical switch to.
7. Fans
Each heat-sink module contains an ac operated fan for cooling the power semiconductors. The fans
in the rectifier and the static switch module(s) take their power from the input line. The inverter
module fan(s) are operated from the inverter output voltage phase L1. The two or three fans M1, M2,
(M3) cooling the inverter transformer T1 are also operated from this voltage.

8. Transformer Board
The transformer board A6 contains all interface circuits between the low voltage circuits of the
logic control and the higher voltage circuits. It also contains the auxiliary power supply.
Six measurement transformers convert the inverter output and line phase voltages to low voltage
levels for voltage monitoring, feedback control, synchronization and display measurements. The
output current of the UPS is measured by three current transformers T2-T4 which are located outside
the transformer board, but the calibration potentiometers for the current measurements as well as all
voltage measurements are located on the transformer board.
Hall effect devices for the measurement of battery voltage and current (B1, B2) are also connected to
the transformer board as well as the temperature sensor of the main transformer.
The Remote shutdown connector X21 provides a separately powered floating input circuit for
shutting down the unit completely, and a floating unregulated supply for optional equipment use.
X20 is a modular jack that can be connected to an optional Ups Information Unit or an RS-232
interface option. It contains an isolated power supply and optically isolated two way data channels.
Auxiliary inputs include a sense input X12 to be used when an external mechanical bypass is
installed, the bypass inhibit input X31 that can be used if transfer to bypass is not allowed and an
extra input X32 for custom features.
Power drive circuits, controlling the trip coils of circuit breakers F1 and F2 and contactors K1 and
K2 are located on the transformer board. There are also five relays, which are providing isolated
status and alarm signals to an external monitoring system or a computer.
All the above signals are connected to the logic control board through two flat cables connected to
X6 and X7.
The auxiliary power supply, located on the transformer board, is primarily fed by the DC bus
voltage, and provides +15V, +-12V and +5V voltages to the logic control board through X7. This
power supply is also supplied with power from the bypass line from the static switch module
through X4.
9. Logic control.
The logic control board A7 contains two microprocessors, which handle the control and monitoring
of the UPS unit, the display and other user interfaces. It also contains the output voltage control
circuits of the inverter.
It gets its power as well as all measurement and state indicating signals through the transformer
board A6. It interfaces directly to the inverter bridge module(s) through flat cables (X1-X3 or X9)
and the rectifier module through X8. It also controls the LED’s on the front panel display A9 through
connector X5. The static bypass switch control signals go via the transformer board A6.
The function of the board is controlled by software in the two single chip type micro-controllers. The
board is identical but the software is different in different UPS models. A set of dip-switches allow
some parameters to be changed in the field.
In the technical documentation, such as parts lists, the mechanical assembly located in the front
section of the unit (behind the right hand door of 9300-9600 models), is referred to as the breaker
panel. This assembly contains most of the electromechanical parts referred to above, except the main
transformer T1 and the modules A1-A9.

2. GENERAL
The rectifier consists of an input choke L1, a filtering choke L3, filtering capacitors C1 and the
rectifier module A1. The rectifier module consists of three double thyristor packs, a rectifier
control circuit board, thyristor RC-networks and an over temperature sensor. The thyristors are
driven by the control circuit.
The rectifier control circuit consists of an auxiliary power supply, control circuits and trigger circuits,
which are situated on the same circuit board.
The DC power is generated from the input mains voltage by transformers T7-T9, rectifier diode
bridges V1-V3 and smoothing capacitors C1-C3, this voltage feeds the pulse transformers T1-T6.
The same voltage is also stabilized to + 12VDC and - 12VDC for internal circuits with A7 and A8.
The control circuit senses the rectifier output voltage and current to process the control signal for the
conduction angle of the thyristors.
The sense voltage is obtained by measuring the output voltage from the + and - bars of the thyristors.
This voltage is supplied to the control circuit to pins X9,1 and X9,3 and then there is a voltage divider
which is scaling it properly for the control circuit. Control signal to the trigger circuit is given from
operational amplifier A17-B, with 0V level corresponding to a fully controlled conduction angle, and
a level of about 10V corresponding to a minimum angle control. The reference voltage of the output
voltage is adjustable by trimmer potentiometer R5.
The rectifier output current is measured by a Hall current sensor B3. The current sense signal
is applied to the control circuit via connector X10,1 of the control circuit, and it affects the
control of the thyristor conduction angle during current limiting. The reference voltage of
current limiting is adjustable by trimmer potentiometer R4. The control circuit also takes
care of the rectifier soft-start.
Transformers T7-T9 also supply the trigger voltages for trigger circuit. The trigger voltages
are filtered and clipped by diodes and applied to trigger circuits A9-A11. These circuits form
the trigger pulses to control the thyristors conduction angles via output pins 2 and 4.The
conduction angle is determined by the control voltage at pin A9-A11, 11 so that a higher
voltage corresponds to a smaller conduction angle. The conduction angles of the thyristors
can be adjusted mutually equal by trimmer potentiometers R1, R2 and R3.
The trigger pulses of the thyristors are formed by combining the conduction control pulses
in gate A12 with pulses of about 12 kHz repetition rate, obtained by combining oscillator
circuit A15 outputs in gate A14.
These pulses drive the pulse transformers T1-T6 via the Darlington driver circuit A13. The
pulse transformer secondaries drive the thyristor gates in the rectifier bridge and provide
the required isolation between the bridge voltages and control circuits.

the two half bridge main circuit IGBT switches and the protection and monitoring of short circuit.
For external controls, the 16-pin ribbon cable connector X100 links the inverter control board with the
logic board (X9). External input signalling consists of an unregulated +15V auxiliary power supply,
three independent commands, common enable and adaptive hysteresis frequency reference signals.
Output signalling consists of an inverter over-temperature – and a main switch (IGBT) failure alarm.

The circuits of all three phases are identical, and therefore only one will be described. Components
of different phases are labelled respectively, like: For L1 (A ) 1xx, L2 (B ) 2xx and L3 (C) 3xx. Most
of the control functions are implemented into the custom hybrid board A105.
The half bridge output current is measured with the current hall sensor element A100. The output
of the device is a DC voltage, directly proportional to the current passing through the hall element.
Zero current equals to approximately 6V, or in other words half of A100’s auxiliary supply.
The desired half bridge output current level is set by the current command level via X100. The
maximum level of the current command is set by the 4,7V back to back Zener diodes, followed
by a hybrid internal voltage divider. ”Snip-off” resistors R100, R136 and R137 determine the
half bridge current limit, to be set according to the silk screen table. The current shown in this
table corresponds to the current rating of the IGBTs used, while the actual current limit is
somewhat lower.
Both, the current command and the instantaneous true main circuit output current signal from
A100 are brought to the current comparator of the hybrid. The main circuit current will oscillate
around the current command’s value with a hysteresis amplitude set by the feed back signal the
comparator output, set by R109 and C106 forming a DC block.
The comparator frequency is set by the dI/dt of the main circuit external to the board and the
amplitude of the hysteresis signal set by R109. The adaptive hysteresis reference voltage controls
the level of the current comparator feed back and therefore allows the external control of the
hysteresi’s frequency to compensate for the DC bus voltage variation (battery operation).
Dead time, or the period of no conduction between the half bridges upper and lower switches, can
be set by choosing the appropriate values for C116 and C117.
The current hall sensor A100’s initial offset, measured at TP101, is set to zero with trimmer R106,
while the current commands input is connected via a 100R resistor to ground, which corresponds to
the control board’s current command generator output impedance.
The 13 – 20V DC auxiliary power to the board is supplied via X100 pins 3 and 4. Linear regulators
A102 stabilise the voltage to 12V for board internal use.
T100, T101 and T102 ensure a galvanic separation to the control circuits of the logic board. The base
frequency of 700-1000 kHz generated by an oscillator on the hybrid is divided by two by an internal
flip-flop for a 50% duty cycle and used to drive the secondary coil of transformer T100. The two
secondary coils of T100 supply the main switches with a DC voltage of +15 and –7V measurable at
TP102 and TP103.
The three phase bridge operation is controlled by the enable signal from the logic board via X100:8 .
The enable command is given simultaneously to the opto couplers on the driver hybrids, pin19. While
the opto coupler’s is LED dark, the board will not generate any gate drive signal to the IGBT’s, but
remain in ready state until 12V auxiliary voltage from A102 is acceptable.
The auxiliary 12V supply is monitored by internal guards of control hybrid A105. LED V127 lit
indicates, that the auxiliary voltage is available.
The IGBT’s are by the current comparator’s output signal. This digital signal is used to control the
carrier frequency to the IGBT gate drive transformers T101 and T102. The carrier is generated by
the same oscillator which drives the auxiliary power supply.
The gate pull up/down and short circuit pull down resistors R150-155 and R160-165 are tailored to the
IGBT type being used. Zener diodes V152 and V162 protect the gates of the IGBTs. R152 and R162
are passive pull down resistors to clamp the IGBTs gates to zero while no auxiliary voltage is present.
1 GENERAL
The half bridge module control board is a complete control unit for a half bridge assembly. The board
contains a hall element current sensor, current comparator, an integral auxiliary voltage supply with voltage
guard, drives for the two main circuit IGBT switches and protection against and signaling in the event of
main circuit short circuit . Connection to external control is a via a 16-pin flat cable connected to x100.

Half bridge output current is measured with the hall element current sensor A100. The output of the device is
a DC voltage directly proportional to current passing through the sensor. Zero current corresponds to a
voltage level approximately one half of A100 auxiliary supply i.e. 6V.
The desired half bridge output current level is set by inputting a current command level via x100. A
maximum level for the current command is set by the back to back connected Zener diodes V122, 123
followed by a voltage divider formed of R100, 102. Both current command and the instantaneous true output
current signal from A100 are brought to a common non-inverting input of the current comparator A101. The
other comparator input (inverting) is held at a steady DC potential set by the trimmer R106 to correspond to
the DC level seen by the non-inverting input at a current command level of zero. A101 output will define
half bridge module output current direction so that the current measured by A100 will have a phase opposite
to the feed back signal from A101 output to it's non-inverting input. Thus the half bridge module output
current will oscillate around the current command value with a hystersis set by the level of the feed back
signal. The level is set by R109 with C106 forming the DC block. To ensure stable comparator operation
R110, C107 feed a lus pulse to the comparator input side as it changes state. A101 frequency is set by the
di /dt of the main circuit external to the board and the amplitude of the hysteresis signal from A101 output.
Hysteresis amplitude can be controlled externally via x100 because Dc level from which feed back to A101
input is supplied by R109 is generated by the external controlled voltage follower V124 with filtering by
C127. A very low hysteresis Dc level would cause A101 oscillation at a very high frequency so an absolute
minimum DC level is set by the Zener diode V101. TP101 is used during board testing to set the Dc offset of
a A100 at zero current command to zero. This is done by shorting the current command input to ground with
a 100R resistor corresponding to the control board current command generator output impedance and
adjusting R106 to zero mV on TP101.
All auxiliary power to the board is supplied through X100. The Dc supply is a single sided 13-20 V
unregulated Dc level regulated for board use by the 12V linear regulator A102. Due to a requirement for
galvanic isolation the half bridge main circuit switch auxiliary supplies are transformer coupled. The base
frequency of 700 - 1000kHz generated by the oscillator A108 A-B-C is divided by two by A109 B for a 50%
duty cycle and used to drive the forward converter V121, T100. T100 has twin two sided secondaries to
supply both the main circuit switches with a two sided Dc supply. The Dc levels can be measured at TP102
and 103.
Half bridge operation is controlled with an external signal to opto coupler A103 via A100. A103 is used for
noise immunity and simple simultaneous control of several half bridge modules by connecting the optos in
series. With the opto coupler’s LED dark board will not generate any gate drive to the half bridge main
circuit IGBTs but will remain in instant readiness as long as the auxiliary 12V supply from A102 is
acceptable. The 12V supply is monitored by V103, with the DC level high enough to supply base drive to
A103 via A104, R115 and the external enable signal on, A105 C output will go low thus allowing the IGBT
gate drive to be generated. Hysteresis for the voltage guard comes from AQ105 C output via V105. The Led
V127 will be lit when the 12V supply is deemed acceptable. There is no delay or soft start function in the
enable-voltage guard circuitry.
The half bridge main circuit IGBTs are controlled by A101 output. This is fed through the two serially
connected inverting gates A105. A, B to generate the two mutually opposite drive signals for the main
circuit. To avoid cross conduction some turn on delay has to be introduced to both signals. This is done by
the RC networks R124 - C116 and R125 -C117. The diodes V106, 108 are used to introduce delay only for
turn on. The delay capacitors C116, 117 are discharged only when opposite drive goes on because no dead
time is required with only the opposite switch diode conducting. This improves tracking of current command
with very steep slopes i.e. non-linear loads. The digital main circuit control signals is used to control the
carrier frequency to the IGBT gate drive transformers T201, 301. The carrier is generated by the same
oscillator that drives the auxiliary power supply. both the carrier and it's inversion by A108 D are selectively
passed by A 107 to the pulse transformer T102, 301 drives gates in accordance with the digital control
signal.
1 GENERAL
The snubber board contains a snubber, clamp diode and RC network for two switches. All the components
except the snubber discharge resistor are assembled on the board. The board itself is connected on top of
the IGBTs via brass bolts, used as conductors. This description refers to one switch only, since the other
switches are identical.

2 SNUBBER
The snubber consists of two parallel connected 47nF capacitors C405, 500 connected in series with diode
V403 across the main circuit of the switch. At switch turn off, the dv/dt across the IGBT is controlled by
diverting the main circuit current to charge the capacitors. Diode V403 bypasses the “discharge” resistor
R410. At switch turn on the capacitors are discharged through R410 with a time constant of 2,2µs, short
enough to ensure a close to zero voltage across the capacitors for the next turn off. The losses in the diode
V403 are about 1W.
3 CLAMP
The clamp consists of diode V401 in series with the 220nF in parallel connected capacitors C402 and C403.
The capacitors are clamped to the positive DC rail via 10W resistors R404 and R405. At switch turn off,
as the voltage across the switch passes the DC bus voltage V401 will start to conduct and charge C402, 403.
The capacitors will be discharged into the DC bus via R404 and R405. Their heat dissipation is about 5W.
4 RC
The “noise” across the switch is reduced by the RC network formed of R402, R403 and C407 (respective
wave form, refer to fig. 1).
The switch is a 300A (400A) IGBT but the wave form is generally applicable. During the initial 400ns rise
from 0 to 500V, the dV /dt is controlled by the snubber. After the peak at 500V there is a notch, as current
flows into the clamp and module’s electrolyte capacitors for some 300ns. The typical peak voltage is 500-
510V at a 430 DC bus regardless of connected load.

V7, V8, V32 and smoothing capacitor C10. The rectifier’s nominal 12VDC can be used externally via
connector X4, terminals 2 and 4 (+) and contacts 6 and 7 (-), allowing a maximum current supply of 0,6A .

Three signal transformers, T101, T201 and T301 are used to measure the unit’s output voltages.
One of the two secondary outputs of each transformer powers a measuring circuit on the logic
board via ribbon connector X6. The units output voltages are adjusted with trimmers R104,
R204 and R304.
Three signal transformers, T102, T202 and T302 are used to measure the unit’s Line input
voltages. One of the two secondary outputs of each transformer powers a measuring circuit
on the logic board via ribbon connector X6. For correct reading of the line input voltages
by the logic board, trimmers R105, R205 and R305 are adjusted accordingly. T202’s other
secondary coil is used to charge via V1/R12/R47 in redundant configuration (T2) capacitors
C9/C41, being the energy source for tripping circuit breakers F1 and/or F2.
The UPS’s output currents are measured by board external current transformers T2, T3 and
T4, connected via X3 (L1), X19 (L2) and X5 (L3) to the transformer board. With trimmers
R106, R206 and R306 the correct reading of the output currents is adjusted.
The battery current is measured by the board external current hall sensor B2 and it’s output
connected to the board via terminal X13:2 and linked via X7 to the logic board. No trimmer to
adjust the battery current is required based on the fact, that prior to the battery circuit breaker
F2 being switched on, the logic board’s processor A1 will know, that the battery current has
to be zero and is therefore able to use a correction factor, to compensate for current sensor’s
offset. The current sensor is powered by the on board ±12V auxiliary supply via terminals
X13 pins 3(+) and 1(-)..

The DC bus voltage is connected to the transformer board via terminals X17, but measured
by the board external voltage hall sensor B1. After step down resistors R8/R9 the voltage
sensor’s input is supplied via terminals X15 and it’s output fed back to terminals X14:2,
terminated by resistors R3 and R4, and linked to the logic board via ribbon cable connector
X7. The voltage sensor’s offset is adjusted by trimmer R7 for correct DC bus voltage reading.
Powered is the voltage sensor by the on board ±12V auxiliary supply via terminals X14 pins
3(+) and 1(-).
All auxiliary voltage supplies to the logic board and to the inverter control board(s) are
generated on the transformer board. The primary power source is a DC/DC converter
supplying the logic board and the inverter control board(s). The back up supply from the
static switch board to the logic board is linked to the anode of diode D3 via terminal X4
(pins 2 and 4).
Transformer T2 of the DC/DC converter is used for galvanic separation. The secondaries
of the transformer are rectified, filtered and supplied (17V) to voltage regulators A1/A2,
to the inverter control boards via X7:21/22/23 and to the circuit breaker tripping energy
reservoir C9/C41 via diode V47 and resistors R13/R48 . The +5V regulator receives a
second supply of approx. 17V via X7:2/4 and V3 from the static switch control board.
This supply ensures, that in case the DC/DC converter fails, the load will safely be
transferred to bypass and enables all controls and the display to operate. The outputs of
voltage regulators A1 and A2 provide the logic board with auxiliary supply, +5V (via
X7:11/13/14) +12V (via X7:15/18) and -12V (via X7:16). The availability of the ±12V
supply is indicated by LED V47, +12V(VDD) and +5V(VCC) are also used on board.
At the input the DC/DC converter is protected by fusible resistors R10 and R11. Green
LED V70 lit, indicates, that the converter is in operation. It will start to operate if it’s
input DC level (X17) is above 300V and continues to operate down to a level of 60-80V.
8. Output contactor K1
The inverter’s transformer output is connected via contactor K1 to the UPS output. To
achieve a fast response, K1 is DC operated. The DC supply to the coil of K1 is generated
by the output voltages of the UPS, rectified by V33-V35 to charge capacitor C36. Fault
protection is provided by fusible resistors R43 – R45. To switch K1 on and off, FET V36
is controlled by opto coupler A3 receiving it’s commands from the logic board via X7:38.
A ”LOW” command at opto coupler LED’s cathode switches K1 on.
The static switch is connected via feed back contactor K2 to the bypass input. K2 is AC
operated, it’s coil is supplied by bypass line L1 via fusible resistors R46/R146 (later replaced
by F1, 6,3A). For galvanic separation, the control of K2 is realized via relay K7. A ”LOW”
command at X7:40 energizes relay K7 via FET V37, and switches while the bypass input line
is available K2 on.

Both circuit breakers can be tripped and their status monitored by the logic board. Since F1
and F2 function rather similar, the description refer mainly to F1.
The coil of F1 is connected to X22 (F2 -> X23). The auxiliary voltage (approx. 26V) at X22:2
(X23:2) is supplied by C9/C41 which function as an energy reservoir for tripping the circuit
breaker’s coil(s). The redundant supply of T202, V1, R12/R47 and T2, V47, R13/R48 charge
the capacitors with the necessary energy.
If F1 (F2) is switched ”ON”, the auxiliary voltage is applied via breakers coil to X22:1 (X23:1),
FET V41 (V39) conducts and indicates the breakers status as a low at X7:32 (X7:34).
If the tripping signal is given, a ”LOW” at X7:30 (X7:28) makes, V44 (V43) and V40 (V38) to
conduct and the breaker is switched off. Once the breaker is open, there is no voltage at X22:1
(X23:1), available. V41 (V39) therefore switches off and the status of the breaker is changed to
a ”HIGH”, due to ”pull up resistors ” on the logic board.
To shut down the UPS remotely, the jumper at terminals X21 shall be removed and pins 1 and
2 of X21 connected to the NC contact of an external push button. Naturally after a remote shut
down, the pins 1 and 2 of X21 have to be linked prior to the restart of the UPS.
While there is an open circuit between X21 pins 1 and 2, FET 42 conducts and K1’s contact
therefore closed, pulling the cathodes of diodes V12 - V16 to ground. Via V12 and V13
contactors K1 and K2 are forced to open, via V14 and V15 circuit breakers F1 and F2 are
tripped and V16 indicates the logic board, that the remote shut down is active. A remote shut
down therefore leads also to the disconnection of all energy sources to the UPS.
Relay K1 receives it’s auxiliary voltage via UPS output L1 supplied transformer T701 and
rectifier V704 (refer to circuit diagram 1001877). FET V83 acts as a voltage guard, in case the
UPS is restarted while X21 pins 1 and 2 remain unlinked. The voltage across capacitor C20 has
to rise above 14V to cause V83 to conduct, a level set by Zener diode V80 and the gate threshold
voltage of the FET. Once V83 conducts will cause V42 to conduct via gate resistor R17. Diode
V81 will provide a positive feed back.
An optional remote display panel (UIU) can be plugged into the RJ 11 connector X20. To assure
galvanic separation, the communication between the UPS and the display happens via opto
couplers, A701 and A801. The display’s auxiliary power is provided by rectifier V704,
transformer T701, sourced from the UPS output phase L1.

The static switch control is routed through the transformer board between X4 and X7. The
back up power source from the static switch board is connected via X4 pins 2 and 4 to the
anode of diode V3 (approx. 17,5V). If the DC/DC converter fails, the inverter control board(s)
are without auxiliary power. As a result, the load will be transferred to bypass, while the
auxiliary power for controls an display is generated at the static switch board.
Several auxiliary contacts used for status - or alarm indications are linked via transformer board
to the logic board.
*** Measured against ground -> high (+5V) = inactive (off) , low (0V) = active (on)

The display board acts as the primary interface between the UPS user and the unit.
The board contains five LED`s, a buzzer used to indicate unit status and the alarm reset
button. Connection to the unit goes via a single flat cable to the control board. The flat
cable connector X1 is mounted on board solder side to comply with clearance
requirements.
The difference between the boards used in the 5000 and the 9000 series is that the resistor
values are different due to different operating voltages.
2 OPERATION
The LED anodes and buzzer circuit are connected to the +10V or +5V line and when
active pulled to ground by the Darlington array connected either to LED cathodes or
buzzer circuit ground return via the flat cable.
All the LED`s consist of two diodes connected in series. LED current is limited by
resistors on the board, due to perceived brightness the series resistor for V4 is larger
than the others.
The buzzer has a self contained oscillator. Connection to ground will initiate oscillation.
Switch S1 is the reset button. It connects to ground (X1/10) a pull-up resistor on the
control board.
