DESCRIPTION:
The UPS is designed following the criteria of low environmental impact.

The quantity of the raw material used on the magnetic components and the

number of semiconductors is minimized by the means of very advanced design


criteria.
The high overall efficiency minimizes the power consumption.

The expected battery lifetime is maximized by the very advanced digital battery

charger.

The UPS is

to the service people how program
to repair the
faults.
 The inverter transformer prevents the direct feed-through of the battery potential
into the critical load and allows a very high rejection ratio of the power supply
disturbances (spikes, surges etc.).
 The high input power factor and the low harmonic level of the input current allows
to reduce the dimensioning of the installation in terms of size of the cables and the
circuit breakers.
 The high efficiency and input power factor reduces the costs during the normal
operation of the UPS.

Ups general description & installation

1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for having chosen an BORRI product for the safety of your equipment. In
order to fully take advantage of the performance of your UPS B9000 (uninterruptible
power supply), we suggest that you dedicate some time to reading the following
manual.
The purpose of this manual is to briefly describe the parts that constitute the UPS
and to guide the installer or user to a correct installation of the equipment.
The installer or user should read and correctly carry-out the instructions provided,
with particular attention to the information regarding security, according to the CEI 64-8
and DPR 46-90 standards.
The manufacturer declines all responsibility of damages towards persons or
things due to the non-compliance of the above.

2. GENERAL UPS DESCRIPTION


2.1 TYPOLOGY
The B9000 UPS are double conversion on-line ; the inverter constantly supplies
energy to the load, whether mains is available or not (according to the b
battery
attery
autonomy time).

WARNING 
WARNING 
The UPS output is energized even during mains failure, therefore in compliance with
the prescriptions of EN50091-1 / EN62040-1, the installer will have to identify the line or
the plugs supplied by the UPS making the User aware of this fact.

This configuration guarantees the best service to the User, as it supplies clean
continuously regulated power and guarantees the voltage and frequency will be
stabilised at nominal value independently from mains status. Thanks to the double
conversion, it makes the load completely immune from micro-interruptions due to
excessive mains variation, and prevents damage to the critical load (Computer -
Instrumentation - Scientific equipment etc.).

JUD408827 02/10/06 Rev. A 3


 
 

  Ups general description & installation

2.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM

2.2.1 Rectifier
It converts the three phase voltage of the mains into continuous DC voltage.
The UPS has got a total-controlled IGBT three-phase bridge to reach a low harmonic
distortion.
This configuration is used in order to reduce the distortion of the mains’ absorbed
power (THD) to a value inferior to 5%. This guarantees, wwith
ith respect to other loa
loads,
ds, that
the rectifier does not distort the mains voltage and avoids the overheating of the cable
due to the circulation of the harmonic currents.
The rectifier is designed to supply the inverter at full load and the battery at the
maximum recharge current.

2.2.2 Inverter
Required to convert the continuous voltag voltage
e coming from the rectifier or from the
battery, into alternating voltage, stabilized in amplitude and frequency.
The inverter uses IGBT technology with a frequency commutation of approximately
10 KHz.

The control electronics is completely digital output


and uses µP, that, thanks to its
a 16 Bit which
processing capability, generates an excellent sine-wave, has a very low
distortion even in presence of loads having high crest factor currents.

2.2.3 Battery and charger


The battery is located in an external cabinet.
The battery charger control logic is completely integrated inside the total-controlled
rectifier control board; the battery is charged, according to the DIN 41773 Standard,
every time it has been partially or completely discharged and it is kept floating, even
when it’s charged, to compensate for any autodischarge.

2.2.4 Static bypass


It’s designed to transfer the load between INVERTER and MAINS, and vice-versa,
without break, and uses SCR’s as power commutation elements.
2.2.5 Manual bypass
It‘s used to by-pass the UPS, supplying the load directly to the mains in case of
maintenance or serious failure.

WARNING
The sequence of bypass switching must be carried out with respect to the procedure
in the UPS Operating Manual in the chapter “Start-up, shu
shut-down
t-down and manua
manuall bypass”.
The manufacturer cannot accept responsibility for damages arising from incorrect
operation.

3. INSTALLATION
3.1 RECEIPT OF UPS
When the UPS is received, please attend immediately to its unpacking and carry-out
an accurate visual check to be sure that the equipment has not been damaged during
transport.

IMPORTANT
In case of objections relating to damage incurred during transport these must be
immediately notified to the transportation company after receipt of the equipment.

When the UPS is not installed immediately it must be stored carefully in vertical
position, as indicated onon the packing and conserved in a dry and sheltered room in its
box so that it is protected from
fr om dust.
3.2 HANDLING OF THE UPS
Before positioning the UPS, in order to avoid risks of turnover, it’s recommended to
move the system on the wood pallet on which the UPS is fixed.
Before the positioning in the final location, remove the UPS from the pallet.
The UPS can be lifted and handled using a pallet truck or a forklift; It can be handled
only after having taken-off (manually) the lower front panel, so that a pallet truck or a
forklift can be inserted (see picture 6). The UPS technical data are shown on a label
fixed on the internal side of the front
fr ont door.

3.4 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION


The electrical connection is part of the work which is normally provided by the
supplier that carries out the electrical installation and not by the UPS manufacturer. For
this reason, the following recommendations are only an indication, as the UPS
manufacturer is not responsible for the electrical installation.
In any case we recommend to carry-out the installation and the electrical connections
of the input and output in compliance with the local standards.
During the electrical installation take particular care to check the phase rotation with
a suitable instrument.
The terminal boards are positioned at the front of the UPS, under the breakers. To
access the terminals remove the protection, extracting the fixing bolts.

WARNING
The connection to the mains must be carried out with protection fuses between the
mains and the UPS.
The use of residual current devices in the line supplying the UPS is
unadvisable. The leakage current due to the RFI filters is rather high and it can
cause spurious tripping of the protection device.

3.5 BATTERY POSITIONING AND CONNECTION


IMPORTANT
For battery installation please respect the prescriptions
pr escriptions of the EN50091-1 / EN62040-
1 standard, paragraph 4.5.
To obtain the battery life indicated by the battery manufacturer, the operating
temperature must remain between 0 and 2 25
5 °C. However, although the battery can
operate up to 40 °C , there will be a significant reduction of the battery life.
To avoid the formation of any kind of potentially explosive hydrogen and oxygen
mixture, suitable ventilation must be provided where the battery are installed (see
EN50091-1 / EN62040-1 annex N).
The batteries are external for all the series, however, it is recommended to install
them when the UPS is capable of charging them. Please remember that, if the battery is
not charged for periods over 2-3 months they can be subject to irreparable damage.

3.5.1 Connections
The following picture shows the electrical connection between the UPS and the
external battery cabinet.

Picture 11 – Battery cabinet link

The connection cables are two power cables, with section that varies according to
the UPS size (see table at page 11) and with length ranging from 2 to 50 meters.
Longer cables are subject to excessive voltage drop, so their section must be

increased accordingly.

1 INTRODUCTION
The UPS of the B9000 product line are on-line, double conversion; the inverter supplies
always energy to the load, whether the mains is available or not (according to the battery
autonomy time).

WARNING 
WARNING 
The UPS output is energized even during mains failure, therefore in compliance with the
prescriptions of EN 50091-1, the installer will have to identify the line or the plugs supplied by
the UPS making the User aware of this fact.

This configuration guarantees the best service to the User, as it supplies clean continuously
regulated power and guarantees the voltage and frequency will be stabilised at nominal value
independently from mains status. Thanks to the double conversion, it makes the load
completely immune from micro-interruptions due to excessive mains variation, and prevents
damage to the critical load (Computer - Instrumentation - Scientific equipment etc.).
Picture 1 – UPS block diagram
The UPS is composed by three main sections: rectifier (R), inverter (I), static switch (SS).
These sections will be described in the following chapters.
The final chapter includes the description of the various electronic boards installed inside the
UPS as well as their block diagrams and programming instruction
instructions.
s.

1.1 OPERATING STATUS


Final task of a UPS system is to protect the load from micro-interruptions, black-outs and
various disturbances on the network, and guarantee a reliable supply also when internal faults
occur. During normal operation the rectifier keeps the batteries in floating charge and provide
energy for the inverter to supply the load through the static switch.

In case of an inverter failure or an overload the load is automatically transferred, without


interruption, to the by-pass static switch.

Picture 3 – Load supplied by by-pass


The inverter is the primary supply source, so when its voltage and frequency are in tolerance
it synchronises with the by-pass line and the load is transferred again through the static switch.
In case of mains failure (or rectifier failure) the inverter draws energy from the battery for the
specified autonomy time, after which the inverter is turned off.
Picture 4 – Rectifier failure or mains failure
For maintenance operations it’s possible to supply the load through the manual by-pass
circuit breaker MBCB, connecting directly the by-pass line to the UPS output. During the manual
by-pass procedure the load remains supplied, without any interruptions.

2 RECTIFIER
The three-phase mains is connected to the input terminals 1-L1, 1-L2, 1-L3, directly under
the input switch RCB. The filter RF1 provides to reduce the radio frequency disturbances
according to the limits given by the EN50091-2 standard.
The input AC capacitors Cac1÷Cac3 limits the high-frequency harmonics generated during
the commutation of the rectifier bridge smoothing the waveform of the input voltage.
The thyristors PS7÷PS9 are used to pre-charge the DC capacitors and rectify the AC mains;
they also work as de-coupling elements and avoid that high reverse voltages are applied to the
IGBTs. The booster bridge is made by the IGBT modules PS1÷PS6. Each module contains two
components, one of which is used as a diode by short-circuiting the Gate with the Emitter. The
input high-frequency chokes are the elements that store and release energy during the bridge
commutation thus providing the DC voltage to increase (step-up or booster operation).
Whentopowering
supplies up the unit,
the microprocessor
microprocesso the electronic
r control board INT-R
board (D-CPU-RC) is as
as well supplied; it provides the
the synchronisation DC
signals
for the generation of the control pulses of the thyristors. These control signals are then
managed by the board INT-R2 (mounted directly on the INT-R) and sent to the thyristors
through the board RTF (final stage).
The voltage feedback (positive and negative, with reference to the central point of the
capacitors) is taken directly on the rectifier output, across the DC capacitors. By comparing the
voltage feedback value with a programmed set-point the microprocessor provides to regulate
the turn-on time of the IGBTs by modifying the PWM, thus maintaining the DC output voltage
within the specified range (+/-1%).
The measures of the input current across the three phases is provided by the current
transducers TA1÷TA3.
The rectifier provides the energy necessary to the inverter to work at full load and keeps the
battery in floating charge to compensate the self discharging. In case of mains failure the
inverter draws energy from the battery for the specified autonomy time. When the batteries
needs to be recharged the microprocessor board provides to limit the recharging current by
comparing an programmable threshold with the feedback signal generated by the current
transducer TA4.

3 INVERTER
The inverter is composed by six power blocks, controlled by the IGBT driver boards
DR1÷DR6. The inverter bridge is connected to the transformer T1, which provides the galvanic
insulation between the DC bus and the AC output. The transformer is provided with a leakage
inductance that forms a low-pass filter with the output capacitors Cr-Cs-Ct; the filter provides to
eliminate the high frequency harmonics from the output waveforms in order to reduce the
distortion of the sine-waves.
The inverter supplies the load through the inverter static switch thyristors, which are
connected to the output switch OCB. The current transformers TAR-TAS-TAT provide the
signals for the output current measures.
When the inverter is started up the microprocessor control logic I/S-CL generates the IGBT’s
control signals (PWM – Pulse Width Modulation) and send them to the driver boards DR1÷DR6;
the bridge starts to modulate and the output voltage increases. The voltage feedback provided

8.2.1.9 RCB board
The RCB is an additional card which is fixed on the I/S-CL. It contains the drivers for the
digital outputs of the microprocessor. Each output is de-coupled and buffered on this card. The
RCB contains also the RS232 and RS485 drivers for the serial communication ports.
8.2.1.10 SCB board and Thyristor drivers
The SCB is an additional card which is fixed on the I/S-CL. It contains the decisional logic for
both bypass and inverter static switches. It can turn-on directly the bypass static switch or send
the command to the I/S-CL to close the inverter static switch.
This card can be programmed through the jumpers J1÷J8 (see figura 51) and it is powered
directly by the emergency line at +5V (see 7.1.1). This supply can be checked on the LED L1
(green) and measured between U11 pin 10 (ground) and pin 20.
8.2.1.11 Current Limitation and Max Current Stop
The current flowing in the inverter bridge is measured through a hall-effect current transducer
on the connector M1 pin 2.

acquired by
the microprocessor card where it generates a voltage drop flowing through the resistors
R18-R39-R40,
R18-R39-R 40, so that it can be used for the control circuit. By means of a amplifier, which
gain can be varied with the potentiometer P2, the value of the signal is adapted to the
dynamic of the protection circuit.

The signal on the test point TP2 must be equal to 4Vpk when the inverter supplies the
nominal load (100%).
In case of short circuit the output current is limited at 200% for 100ms, and then to 125%
for 5 seconds, after which the inverter is switched off (according to EN62040-3).

2) Current stop protection: the resistors R18-R39-R40
R18-R39-R40 are properly combined according to
the IGBT’s nominal current so that, in case of “bridge leg” short circuit the PWM is
stopped before the input current exceed the 200% of the IGBT’s nominal current. The
detection time and the subsequent inverter stop is not higher than a PWM pulse (max.
250μs)
The inverter stop due to “Current stop” is signalled by the LED D3
D3,, placed on the front of
the I/S-CL card. The program provides for the automatic reset of the stop condition for
three times, re-starting the inverter. If the block repeats, therefore a real failure exists in
the inverter bridge, the inverter is definitely stopped and must be re-started only after
having verified the reason of the malfunction.

The VCB is an additional card which is fixed on the I/S-CL. It’s made by the following
sections.

microprocessor (that represents
the digital sine-wave) are converted by a D/A converter in order to obtain a real sine-wave
which is transferred to the PWM generator (see 8.2.1.13). The amplitude of the sine-wave

is varied by the AUTOMATIC regulation loop (jumper J1 in position 1-2) in function of a


set-point managed by the microprocessor adjustable through the potentiometer P1. Each
phase of the inverter is disengaged and can be varied independently.
In order to carry put functional tests, the regulation loop can be set in MANUAL mode
(jumper J1 in position 2-3), in such case the amplitude is varied turning the potentiometer
P1 of the I/S-CL card. In this case the inverter output voltages are varied contemporary.

2) Voltage correction (instantaneous


(instantaneous value loop): the voltage correction circuit is used to
modify the PWM reference signal in order to “correct” possible distortions on the output
sine-wave and can be disabled removing the jumper J2. The feedback signal, coming
from the INV-AV-3F card is compared with the reference sine-wave e properly filtered.
The resulting signal is added again to the reference sine-wave.

8.2.1.13 PWM generator
The I/S-CL can be used to generate both single-phase and three-phase output voltages. This
function can be programmed by setting the jumper J1 on the I/S-CL. The PWM generator
compares the sine-waves coming from the VCB card with a triangular waveform at the switching
frequency (U17 pin 6) to generate the PWM modulation to control the inverter power bridge.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

1 INTRODUCTION
This troubleshooting includes a first-level fault description based on the UPS alarms and
suggests how to check the unit to solve the problems. This description assumes that all the
connections inside the unit are correct: check them (connectors, power cables, signals and so
on) before to start with the procedures. The first-level troubleshooting eventually leads to the
substitution of the components of the UPS without attempting to repair them.
The procedures listed below takes into account the operator is provided with all the testing
tools and perfectly confident with the test software.

1.1 TOOLS FOR SERVICE


The tools necessary for service are described below:

1. External power supply


The external power supply is necessary for the supply of the inverter logics to test their
functionality.
2. Interface card PB213 (SLOT-SER)
This card must be connected by means of a 10-wire flat cable to the connector CN8 of
the board PB249 (D-CPU-RC). It contains the RS232 and USB ports for the interface
with the rectifier control software.
3. External ON/OFF switch
The external ON/OFF switch must be connected to the connector M10 of the board
PB223 (INT-R). It enables the rectifier start-up.
4. External 3Ph AC supply cable
This cable must be connected to the connector M8 of the board PB223 (INT-R). It’s
necessary for the supply of the rectifier logics to test their functionality.
5. Software “UPSTest”
The “UPSTest” software is used to control the UPS UPS   operation by interfacing the
computer with the microprocessor of the board PB003 (I/S-CL)
6. Software “WRC Monitor”
The “WRC Monitor” software is used to control the rectifier  operation
 operation by interfacing the
computer with the microprocessor of the board PB249 (D-CPU-RC).
7. Software “WRC EEPROM Manager”
The “WRC EEPROM Manager” software is used to change the programming of the
rectifier’s nominal data and to adjust the voltage and current measures (which are not
shown on the front panel, but are used by the rectifier control to regulate the operating
parameters).

TROUBLESHOOTING
ESHOOTING PROCEDURES
2.1 A1 – MAINS FAULT
This alarm normally indicates that there is no power at the input of the UPS. The normally
closed contact of the relay RL5 on the board INT-R is connected to the pins 1-2 of M12. This
contact is sent to the I/S-CL on M3 pins 3-4 through the wire W35. When this contact is closed
(relay not energised) the alarm is active; when the mains is considered good, the relay is
energised and the alarm disappears.

This alarm indicates that the load is blocked on the emergency line (by-pass) after 6
transfers to by-pass in 2 minutes. Normally it occurs when there are several heavy load steps
(like motors starting, printers and so on) in a very short time. In this case, as the current
exceeds two times the nominal value, the short circuit monitor (see alarm A25 – Short circuit)
transfers automatically the load to by-pass, and after a few seconds the inverter takes back the
load. If this situation happens six times in two minutes, the UPS protects itself by blocking the
load to by-pass and the alarm is activated. This condition can be reset by sending the command
RESE000 or by resetting the UPS from the special menu in the front panel.

amplified
lified on the test point TP2
and can be set at 4Vpeak at 100% load by turning the potentiometer P2. As this signal exceeds
two times the nominal output current, the current limitation starts to work and the alarm A25 is
activated. This happens if the emergency line is not available, otherwise the load is
automatically transferred to bypass. Normally the alarm A25 can be found in the alarm history,

Owing to the use of two different microprocessors inside the UPS, there exist two different
TEST modalities: one for the rectifier and one for the inverter, which is described at 4.2.1.
The TEST mode on the rectifier is enabled by closing the pins 11-12 of the connector M15 of
the board PB223 (INT-R). The condition of the contact is acquired by the microprocessor at the
start-up and only if the DC voltage is lower than 50Vdc (no AC voltage present).
The TEST mode set the duty cycle of the IGBT’s PWM at 50% and is used to check the
IGBT’s turn-on signals before the rectifier start-up.

The TEST mode is a operating condition wher

some alarms are hidden and the UPS can be tested completely. When the UPS is in manual by-
pass for example, only the TEST mode allows the operator to check the UPS operation. The
TEST mode can be set by moving the DIP6 SW1 in position OFF in the I/S-CL board. The

1. PARALL
PARA LL EL REDU
REDUNDANT
NDANT SYSTE
SYSTEM
M TYPOLOGY
The parallel system consists of “n” (up to 6) units, which are equipped like standard
units. Only the manual bypass can be external and unique for all the units.
On each unit one extra pcb (RPI-BUSCAN), that provides the parallel redundant
functions, is installed.
In addition to the standard functions as uninterruptible power supply, total power
control and protection of the load from mains distortion, the parallel redundant system
guarantees an uninterrupted power supply even in case of an internal failure in one of
the UPS units.

It is possible because all units are constantly in operation and feed the load in
parallel at “total load / n”, where “n” is the number of the UPS.
The AC automatic current sharing control equalizes the currents of the “n” units and
reduces the total unbalance at less than 10%, under all load conditions.
The load is supplied by the inverters in parallel for an instantaneous overload up to “n
x 200%” of the nominal load of the single unit.
In case of a failure in one unit, the other units supply the load. The load is supplied by
the static bypass, only if there is an additional failure in the other units.

- Rectifier (R)
- Inverter (I)
- Battery (B)
- Static Switch: Static Switch Inverter (SSI) Static bypass (SB)
- Manual bypass (MB) (on all the units or unique ad external)

3. OPERATING CONDITION
During “n UPS normal condition” any failure transfers the parallel redundant system
to “n-1 UPS normal condition”, or to “n rectifier failure or mains failure” condition.
During “n-1 UPS normal condition” or “n rectifier failure or mains failure” condition,
any failure transfers the parallel redundant system to “n-1 rectifier failure or mains
failure” condition or to “bypass feeds load” condition. In these operating conditions the
parallel redundant system signals a failure with audible and visual alarms.
During “n-1 rectifier failure or mains failure” condition or to “bypass feeds load”
condition, an additional failure may interrupt the power supply to the load, depending on
the kind of failure.
During “manual bypass” condition the mains feeds the load directly for maintenance
or serious failure.

4. INSTALLATION
Before installing the parallel redundant system, see “INSTALLATION” in the
“OPERATING MANUAL” for the single units, in order to be informed about the following:

- receipt of the UPS


- dimensions and weights
- distance from the walls
- connections cables, fuses and terminal boards

4.1 ADDITIONAL HARDWARE


To transform “n” standard units into a parallel redundant system the following
additional hardware is required:

- N. “1 x n” RPI-BUSCAN pcb (parallel redundant card)


- N. “n-1” interconnections bus cable (DB9)

The output of the “n” units must be connected in parallel to the load bus bar.

4.2 POSITIONING
We suggest positioning the UPS’s with a distance between one and the other of 10
cm (minimum) for cables passage.

5. SYSTEM PERFORMANCES
The parallel redundant system has better static and dynamic performances in
comparison with a single unit as, due to the redundancy, the total amount of power
available is higher than the nominal load of the system.

5.1 OVERLOAD
The overload limit of a parallel redundant system depends on the number of the
units, which are connected to the load:

Imax = n * In

where “n” = number of the units, “In” = nominal current of each unit

The load exceeds this limit the thermal image starts and after a certain time the load
is transferred to bypass (if available).

5.2 SHORT CIRCUIT


If there is a short circuit at the output the system transfers the load to bypass (if it is
available), otherwise all the units supply 200% In for 5 cycles and after 125% for 5
seconds.

on the unit having the lower position (Number 1), closing RCB and following the
procedure shown on the display.
 At the end of the start-up of the first unit, the second one can be switched on
normally, closing RCB and following the procedure shown on the display.

6.2 TWO UPS – START-UP FROM FROM MANUAL B Y-PASS 


The parallel system can also be switched on starting from manual by-pass. The unit
having the lower position (Number
(Number 1)
1) must be started-up first:
o Close the manual by pass breaker MBCB on thet he unit Number 1 

o On the same unit (Number
(Number 1) move the By-pass switch in BY-PASS position
o Close RCB
o Follow all the instructions shown on the display until the unit is completely
started-up and supplies correctly the load
o Start-up the unit Number 2 
2  closing RCB and following the instruction
instructions
s shown
on the display

6.3 MORE THAN TWO UPS – START-UP FROM


FROM MANUAL B Y-PASS 
When the parallel UPS’s are more than two, the system can only be switched on
starting from manual by-pass, in order to have all the units connected contemporary to
the load bus. The procedure is the following:

o Close the manual by-pass breaker MBCB in ALL the UPS


o Move the by-pass switches in BY-PASS position in ALL the UPS
o Close RCB in ALL the UPS
o Follow the instructions on the display on the UPS having the lower position
(Number 1) until it shows the message “OPEN ALL MBCB”. Do not open the
MBCB breakers at this point.
o Proceed as indicated above for all the units up to the one having the higher
position (Number
(Number “N”)
“N”)
o Verify that all the by-pass static switches are closed
o Open the manual by-pass breaker MBCB in ALL the UPS
o Upon the display request, move the by-pass switches of all the units in
position NORMAL, starting from the UPS Number 1. 1.

BY-PASS
SS TRANSFER PROC
PROCEDURE
EDURE
During the normal operation of a parallel redundant system, the by-pass switch has
the function to disconnect the UPS from the supply of the load, opening the inverter
static switch. The load is transferred to the by-pass (emergency line) according to the
settings of the parallel logic RPI.
If the parallel system (2 UPS) is programmed with the logic “1 on 2” (parallel
redundant) the load is transferred to the emergency line only when both by-pass
switches are in BY-PASS position.
If the parallel system (2 UPS) is programmed with the logic “2 on 2” (power parallel)
the load is transferred to the emergency line when at least one by-pass switch is in BY-
PASS position.

7.1 MANUA
MANUALL BY-PA
BY-PASS
SS TRANSFER PROCEDURE
Move ALL by-pass switches in position BY-PASS, so that the load is transferred to
the emergency line on all the UPS systems (LED 6 on the front panel lit orange).

The procedure to disconnect the UPS under maintenance is the following:


o Move the by-pass switch on BY-PASS to disconnect the UPS from the load bus
o Open OCB
o Open SBCB
o Open BCB
o Open RCB

Wait until the UPS is completely switched off and carry out the maintenance.

Upon completion of the works, if necessary, the inverter can be tested in the following
manner (for further details refer to the specific procedures):

o Put the UPS in TEST mode (Dip 6 SW1 in OFF on PB003)


o Move the by-pass switch in NORMAL position
o Supply the logic with the external power supply
o Close RCB and start the
t he inverter modulation by PC command
o  At the end of the soft-start the inverter static switch will close and it will be possible to
check the output voltage waveform.

1.2 MAINTENANCE WITH THE LOA


LOADD IN MANUAL BY-PASS
Using this procedure the operator can work on all the UPS systems, leaving the load bus
supplied by the manual by-pass so that the continuity of the supply is not guaranteed
NOTE
The operator carrying out the maintenance must consider under his own responsibility the
operating risks for himself and for the final user.

The procedure to transfer the load in manual by-pass and disconnect the UPS before the
maintenance is described in the PARALLEL SYSTEM OPERATING MANUAL.
Wait until the UPS is completely switched off and carry out the maintenance.

Upon completion of the works, if necessary, the inverter and the by-pass static switch can be
tested in the following
f ollowing manner (for further details refer to the specific procedures):

o Put the UPS in TEST mode (Dip 6 SW1 in OFF on PB003)


o Move the by-pass switch in NORMAL position
o Supply the logic with the external power supply
o By the RPITest software set the UPS redundancy logic at 1 on the RPI board with the
command SNUL001 (logic 1 on “N”)
o By the UPSTest software connected to the RS232 of the UPS, send the command
MAST001 (MASTER condition forced)
o Close RCB and start the inverter modulation by PC command
o  At the end of the soft-start the
t he inverter static switch will close and it will be possible to
check the output voltage waveform.
o In case it’s necessary to perform commutation tests or checks on the static switch
operation, close SBCB and wait until the status S6 – BYPASS OK is active on the
UPSTest screen.
o Moving the by-pass switch in BYPASS position will cause the load transfer to the by-
pass so that the commutation between inverter and by-pass line can be tested.

2. TROUBL
TROUBLESHOOTING
ESHOOTING PROCEDURES
This troubleshooting includes a first level fault description for Parallel System and suggests
how to check the unit to solve the problems.
 All the tests described in this document must be carried out with the parallel system in
Manual Bypass unless otherwise specified.
Please refer to the PARALLEL SYSTEM OPERATING MANUAL for the correct procedure to
transfer the load from normal operation (inverter mode) to manual bypass.
This description assumes that all the connections inside the unit are correct; check them
(connectors, power cables, signals and so on) before starting with the procedures. The first
level troubleshooting consists of substituting the RPI-BUSCAN Board without attempting to
repair it. To replace the RPI Board refer to the
t he instructions given at chapter 3 of this manual.
2.1 CHECK OF LED STATUS
The RPI-BUSCAN (PB110) board is provided with LED’s, indicating the various operating
condition of the board itself and the presence of the DC supply. The colour and function of the
LED’s is shown in the tables below; the first table shows the LED’s indicating the DC supply to
the RPI board, the second one the LED’s in the front of the RPI board indicating the operating
status of the parallel system.

If the UPS is a single-phase output the neutral conductor is not common as it is interrupted
by the output breaker OCB, that must be kept open (the units are operating in manual by-
pass). Therefore, in order to read with the multimeter the voltage difference between the
inverter output voltages, it’s necessary to link the two output neutral conductors, by short-
circuiting the neutral pole of the output breaker OCB (putting a jumper between IN and OUT).

4.1 INTRODUCTION
This document is a guide for the correct configuration of the parameters of the card RPI-
BUSCAN PB110 for a parallel redundant system.
The parallel optional card allows the connection of up to 6 units in parallel.
For a correct installation and interconnection of the parallel cards refer to the parallel test
procedure. Particular attention must be paid to the configuration of the dip switches, through
which the position of each UPS system is defined in univocal way, allowing the correct
exchange of the signals among the systems.

WARNING
Two UPSs can not have the same configuration of the dip-switches, that’s to say the
same position in the parallel system, otherwise there are conflicts of identification of the
