1 PREPARING TO SERVICE
Before starting to service be sure to take all safety precautions, please check the followings :
 Check the earth connection of the unit
 Your health is the most important
 There is High voltage at some parts inside of the STS unit, before you touch these points turn
off power
 To touch hot surfaces may harm service personnel. Be sure that the hot surface and
component temperatures are at safe level
 Keep away your face from components during power applied to the STS unit
 During installation check that input and output power cables are not connected to power yet.
 Possible bad connection can cause electrical arching, check if all cable connections are
correct and tight.
 Before servicing provide this service manual for easy servicing
 Please check service equipment you require (multimeters,ampermeters etc..)
 Provide drawings of the STS unit
 Remember that you will need service password or service password bypass jumper
 Check recorded log events of the STS unit before starting service
 Get information about power events at the STS inputs
 Check false alarm status
SIMPLE TROUBLESHOOTING (for user)
Due to the unique design, the unit can be serviced only by authorised people. In case of a persistent
failure or problem properly turn off the unit first. Then review the following check list. Be prepared to
answer the questions before calling the service.
1. First off all please note the error code AXX on the second line of the STS LCD panel
2. Did you follow the operation procedure? Did it happen on installation?
3. Did a power failure occur just after or before the malfunction noted on the STS?
4. What is the indicators status? (see alarms and alarm codes)
5. See recorded log events and their date and time
6. Were any changes made recently to the unit or to the equipment connected to the output of the
unit?
7. Did an overload condition occur? Remove load from the unit and restart it.
8. Check the two source input phase voltages and input fuses of the STS
9. Is the utility power phase sequence correct (were there any changes in phase sequence of the
input mains)?
10.If the load fails and there is no alarm on STS, check the load distrubition fuses cables etc…
11.If over temperature alarm occurs please check the air outlets of the STS
Page
CUSTOMER MAINTENANCE
WARNING !!!
There are no customer serviceable components inside.
The unit is designed for easy maintenance. Very little customer user maintenance is required. The following will
help to ensure trouble -free operation for many years:
1. Vacuum the dust from the ventilation intake on the front panel.
2. Wipe the cover with a damp cloth.
2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE STS
STS unit is a microprocessor controlled transfer switch, designed for automatic and manual switching between
two AC power sources, with interruption to the load of less than 2 msecs with synchronized sources and of less
than 12 msecs for unsynchronized sources.
STS utilizes SCRs connected in opposite parallel pairs (six pairs for 3 pole models, eight pairs for 4 pole
models). Three or four pairs of SCRs are used to connect the AC load to the power supply input referred to as
“PREFERRED”, under normal conditions. The other three (of four) pairs of SCRs are on standby to transfer the
load to the other power supply input referred to as “ALTERNATE” in case of a failure of the “PREFERRED”
input supply.
Source 1 and Source 2 supply inputs should come from two different AC sources with nominally identical
voltages, phases and frequencies. The aim of the STS is uninterrupted transfer from one AC power supply to
the other, in case of a fault in the “PREFERRED” supply.
Before and during transfer from one source to the other, the operating conditions of the SCRs are carefully
monitored to prevent crosscurrents between two sources. The break-before-make technique makes healthy
and uninterrupted transfers possible.
During normal operation, “PREFERRED” network supplies the load when both inputs are available. Selection of
the “PREFERRED” network, automatic re-transfer, retransfer delay, overload behaviour of STS, alarm hold
time, nonsynchronized transfer behaviour, overload and transfer inhibit reset modes can be set by the user on
the control panel of the unit.
Permitted voltage, phase difference and frequency tolerances are also adjustable by the service personnel
using the control panel.

2 Maintenance bypass to source2
Source 1 and Source 2 input circuit breakers are MCCB’s with thermal overload and magnetic short circuit
releases. They also have trip coils for electronic protection purposes.
8 PROTECTIONS INSIDE THE STS
SHORT CIRCUIT
In the event of a fault on the load, in order to protect itself and the alternate source, the STS inhibites the output
voltage. During short circuit event on the load, the source connected to load will be overloaded and the voltage
of this source will go down, at this point STS monitors the output current and if current is larger then 200% of
nominal output current and if the input source voltage is lower than the allowed limit at the same time, it decides
that short circuit event has occurred at the output of the STS.
On the other hand during over current status, if the input MCCB trips STS decides that a short circuit event has
occurred at the output of the STS.
OVERLOAD
Electronic overload protection system is used inside of the STS. This protection system can be enabled or
disabled by the user as an option.
BACKFEED
The STS have electronic protection system against backfeed from any one of the input sources, if any backfeed
current is sensed, the related input MCCB trips.
FUSES
There are no any replacable fuses on the power path inside of the STS, only input MCCB’s protect against
overcurrents.
9 MANUAL TRANSFER SWITCH SW6
Manual transfer switch is located on the switch panel behind the front door of the STS cabinet and is used to
transfer the load to input source1 or source2 immediately. During normal operation this switch must be at
AUTO (center) position.

CONNECTIONS
STS Series Static Transfer Switches run only on 3-Phase AC power supplies with a NEUTRAL line.
The STS unit must be grounded in accordance with electrical regulations
Before making power connections to the unit, ensure that all the incoming power sources are de-energized and
insulated
Cables can enter the STS from below, through the base panel of the cabinet. Top entry is also possible using
optional parts designed for this purpose.
The connections of the STS should be supplied by grounded outlets. Cables enter the STS modules via entry
panels in the base of the cabinet. All control cables should be screened and run in a separate trunking to the
power cables.

16 EXTERNAL EPO BUTTON
EPO input is NC type interface (normally closed). If EPO input terminals are opened STS applies EPO
shutdown procedure. This isolated input is used to turn off the STS remotely in case of emergency.
These “Remote Emergency Power Off ” (E.P.O.) terminals are short-circuited ( see “View of the STS
connections”) in the factory. If NC terminals are opened, STS shutdowns the output voltage.
In case of emergency, by activating the stop device STS enters the stand-by mode and turns off the load
completely.
The E.P.O. circuit is self-powered, no external power supply voltage is therefore required.
During normal operation, if EPO switch is not used, the EPO input terminals should be shorted with a small
cable

17 WIRING PROCEDURE
A. Open the STS cabinet front door and remove the metal guard on the lower side to permit access to the
connection terminals and busbars (neutral and earth). Before connecting any power cables, please ensure
that all the circuit breakers on the STS are in “OFF” position. (SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4)
SOURCE 1 Input Power Connections
B. Connect the SOURCE 1 AC power cables to the terminals U1-V1-W1 and N1 of the STS (Figure 7,8,9,10)
and tighten the connections properly.
CHECK FOR CORRECT PHASE SEQUENCE
SOURCE 2 Input Power Connections
C. Connect the SOURCE 2 AC power cables to the terminals U2-V2-W2 and N2 of the STS (Figure 7,8,9,10)
and tighten the connections properly.
CHECK FOR CORRECT PHASE SEQUENCE
Output Connections
D. Connect the output cables to the terminals (U-V-W-N) of the STS (Figure 7,8,9,10) and tighten the
connections properly.
CHECK THAT PHASES ARE CONNECTED IN THE RIGHT ORDER.

CHECK AGAIN ! that U1-U2, V1-V2 and W1-W2 are the corresponding phases of the two separate
AC input sources respectively.
E. Also proper control and signal wire connections (Alarm relays, EPO etc.) should be made through the screw
terminal block shown in figure 11.
Note : These auxiliary cables must be shielded and double insulated.

(Recommended cross-section 1mm2)
F. Reassemble the metal guard removed previously.
PROTECTIVE EARTH
The protective earth cable must be connected to the earth BUS BAR and bonded to each cabinets in the
system and also the earthing and neutral bonding arrangements must be in accordance with the local laws.
Proper grounding considerably reduces problems in systems caused by electromagnetic interference.
ATTENTION!!! Failure to follow adequate earthing procedures can result in electric shock
hazard to personnel, or the risk of fire

18 POWER SUPPLY
• 2 redundant power supplies are used to provide power to PCB boards

• Power supplies get power from every phase of each input source and aux. AC power input.
• Each power supply accepts input power from 6 phases + aux. AC power input connected with
diodes, forming logical OR connection.
• Power supply input voltages are phase to neutral
• Source 2 input is isolated from power supply inputs with 3 isolation transformers (one for each
phase)
• Power supply output distrubution to boards are high frequency PWM signals (not DC voltage)
• Each PCB board has two power supply inputs
• Each power supply is connected to each PCB board separately
POWER SUPPLY INPUTS
Source 1 phases, source 2 phases and external AC input source are OR’ed together through fuses
and diodes. Any one of these 7 sources is enough to provide full power to the PSP inputs.
Source 2 phases are isolated by isolation transformers for 4 pole preparation.
STFUSE1 board contains power supply input filters, fuses and diodes.
Every input MCCB have a DC trip coil. These coils are under control of the microcontroller and
energized during EPO and BACKFEED protection for turning off the supply inputs of the STS.
If a coil is energized, input MCCB trips and switch position changes to 0 (off) position.
Page
POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT DISTRUBUTION
2 PSP outputs are connected to each PCB board separately. If one of the PSPs is failed, the other
continues to feed the board. During operation, you can take out any one of the PSP boards. The
other PSP continues to supply the electronic control circuits.
The output waveform of the PSP is PWM signal, all boards have separate isolation transformers,
rectifiers and voltage regulators.
The PWM signal is pulse width regulated against PSP input voltage changes.

22 ALARM DESCRIPTIONS
A1 S1 NOT OK – A2 S2 NOT OK alarm

This alarm is a summary of source 1 or source 2 status. The cause of this alarm can be of various events. The
following table shows the details and all possible events causing input source NOTOK alarm:
Code Description
1 Source input voltage out of tolerance
2 Source phase sequence error
4 Source MCCB tripped
8 Blackout on source
16 Source phase balance error
32 Source frequency out of tolerance
64 Source input MCCB off
128 Phase or alternance loss on source
Page
At the same time you can see more than one code, if 2 alarms occured at the same time. The resulting code
will be the sum of 2 codes. Suppose that on source 1, code 1 and code 8 occured at the same time, the
resulting code will be 9.
Zero code shows that there is no alarm on source. Alarm codes are located at the end of alarms menu.
A4 OVERLOAD alarm
Possible cause
<OVLOAD:enable> option is selected, and the any output phase current is higher than the
maximum output current capacity
False alarm conditions:
 Any voltage is higher than 1.1 volts DC at the STC01 main board U4 (pin1,2,3)
 Output current sense transformers are not compatible with the model current range
 Defected current transformer
 Defected current transformer load resistor (open circuit)
Notes:
• If <OVLOAD: disable> selected from options menu the STS unit do not sense overload at the
output
• If <OVLOAD: enable> selected from options menu STS applies the fallowing time table
101%-150% Load operates for 1 minute and shutdowns the output voltage
151%-200% Load operates for 10 seconds and shutdowns the output voltage
Load >200% operates for 250 milliseconds and shutdowns the output voltage
• At the end of the delay, the output will be shutdown without transferring to the alternate source
• During shutdown at the same time <A6 XFER INHIBIT> and <A4 OVERLOAD> messages are
displayed on the 2nd line of LCD panel.
Resetting OVERLOAD INHIBIT (output voltage restoration)
• If<OVL.RESET:AUTO> option selected, at the end of ALARM HOLD TIME, STS output voltage
will be restored
• If <OVL.RESET:MANUAL> option selected, user should restore the output voltage in
COMMANDS MENU by pressing enter button <ENT:INHIBIT RES>
A5 NSYNC INHIBIT alarm
Possible cause
If <NSYNC.TR:Disabled> option is selected and if during transfer from Source1 to Source2,
input sources are not synchronous to each other, the output voltage is shutdown
If <NSYNC.TR:Disabled> option is selected and if during transfer from Source2 to Source1
input sources are not synchronous to each other, the output voltage is shutdown
How to prevent this alarm: if the load is not sensitive to nonsynchron transfer, select one of
other transfer methods (delay or zero current)
Page
Notes:
• During shutdown, at the same time <A6 XFER INHIBIT> and <A5 NSYNC INHIBIT> are
displayed on the 2nd line of LCD panel.
Resetting NSYNC INHIBIT alarm

• If<INH.RESET:AUTO> option selected, at the end of ALARM HOLD TIME, STS output voltage
will be restored
• If <INH.RESET:MANUAL> option selected, user should restore the output voltage by pressing
enter button <ENT:INHIBIT RES> in COMMANDS MENU
Temporary Immediate solution:

Chose one of other nonsynchron transfer method (delay or zero current)
A7 OUT NOT OK S1 or A8 OUT NOT OK S2 alarm
Possible cause
While the output is connected to input source 1, STS sensed phase or alternance loss at the
output (A7 alarm)
While the output is connected to input source 2, STS sensed phase or alternance loss at the
output (A8 alarm)
There is an open SCR on SS1 group
There is an open SCR on SS2 group
There is a bad connection on SS1 group
There is a bad connection on SS2 group
There is a bad connection on STM01 board CN1 connector (output voltage samples comes
from this connector to STM01 output monitoring PCB board)
Defected STM01 board
Check STM01 board CN2 – STC01 main board CN6 connection
Notes:
• While the output is connected to input source 1,if phase or alternance loss occures at the output,
STS transfers the load to the source 2
• The possible cause of the phase or alternance loss may be SCR group failure or bad connection
of the components. In this case STS uses the other input source line and SCR group for output
power.
• Usually this alarm is permanent and can not be resetted, in this case you must check connections
and SCR components and SCR driver board.
• If this occures on source 1, A7 OUT NOT OK S1 alarm will be generated
• If this occures on source 2, A8 OUT NOT OK S2 alarm will be generated

Disconnect STM01 output monitoring board CN2 connector to main board
Page
A9 SUPPLY1 FAIL or A10 SUPPLY2 FAIL alarm
Possible cause
Fuse on any STP01 PSP board is blown (replace fuse)
Any power supply output voltage is zero value
Any power supply output voltage is less than PSP failure alarm level
PSP failure alarm level is higher than 12.5 volts DC, decrease the alarm level from adjust
menu (service password required)
Notes:
• STS checks power supply voltages on the main controller board.
• The minimum power supply voltage is determined from adjust menu, during factory tests
• The default minimum voltage level is 12.5 volts DC, if any power supply voltage is less then 12.5
volts DC, STS produces PSP failure alarms.
• If one of the power supply voltage is normal STS continues to work but indicates that which
power supply output is Low
• If power supply 1 output is low A9 PSP FAILURE 1 alarm will be generated
• If power supply 2 output is low A10 PSP FAILURE 2 alarm will be generated

Set the PSP failure alarm level to 0.1 volts DC
A11 OVERTEMP alarm
• The heatsink temperature of the SCR group is higher than the allowed value (90C)
• Or heatsink temperature is over then 70C
Possible cause
Cooling fan fuses blown (check fuses)
Mulfunctioned cooling fans (check fans)
Calibration of temperature sensor is uncalibrated (calibrate from adjust menu)
Air outlets blocked by dust (clean dust)
Air outlets blocked by any material (take the material from air outlet way)
 Defective heatsink temperature sensors (replace) NC type
 Check temperature sensor-main board connection
 Check temperature sensor-main board signal samples

Short heatsink temperature sensor terminals to each other
Page
A12 MAN.XFER S1 or A13 MAN.XFER S2 alarm
Possible cause
From commands menu manual transfer has been performed
Manual transfer switch on the inner panel is in S1 or S2 position
• Check manual bypass switch contacts for short circuit
• Check manual bypass switch –main board connections
• Check manual bypass switch – main board signal samples

If false alarm is fixed on STC01 main board, disconnect CN7(pin 5,6,7,8)
A14 MAN BP TO S1 or A15 MAN BP TO S2 alarm
Possible cause
Maintenance bypass switch SW4 is in S1 or S2 position
Change to Center(automatic) position to exit from maintenance bypass
 Check maintenance bypass switch contacts for short circuit
 Check maintenance bypass switch – main board connection
 Check maintenance bypass switch – main board signal samples

If there is a short circuit problem on switch contacts or cables disconnect STC01 main board CN7(pin
5,6,7,8)
A16 OUT SW OFF
Possible cause
Output switch SW3 in off(0) position
Change the position of output switch to ON position
 Check output switch contacts for short circuit
 Check output switch – main board connections
 Check output switch – main board signal samples

If there is a open circuit problem on switch contacts or cables short STC01 main board CN5(pin 5,6)
Page
A17 INP.SW.1 OFF or A18 INP.SW.1 OFF alarm
Possible cause
INPUT MCCB SW1 or SW2 in off(0) position
Change the position of input MCCB to ON position
Check backfeed trip function
Check MCCB trip relays RL6 and RL7 on the relay interface board
 Check input switch contacts for short circuit
 Check input switch – main board connections
 Check input switch – main board signal samples

For ignoring A17, short STC01 main board CN7(pin 3,4)
For ignoring A18, short STC01 main board CN7(pin 1,2)
A19 S1 BLACKOUT or A20 S2 BLACKOUT alarm
Possible cause
There is short duration voltage loss longer then adjusted value, occured at
the related input source(on Source1 or Source2)
BLACKOUT window is very short, increase the set value from adjust menu
(password required)
Bad connection at the related input source, voltage is going down and
coming up again at input.
Note: Blackout window set value is adjustable from 1 to 25.5 milliseconds

Set the blackout window value from adjust menu to 5 milliseconds
A21 S1 FREQ FAIL or A22 S2 FREQ FAIL alarm
Possible cause
Source1 input frequency is out of tolerance
Source2 input frequency is out of tolerance
Frequency lower and upper tolerance adjustments should be checked from
adjust menu (password required)
Notes:
• If input source frequency is lower than the minimum value or higher than the maximum value this
alarm will be generated
• if minimum alarm level is = 0(zero) the minimum frequency alarm is cancelled
• If maximum alarm level is = 0(zero) the maximum frequency alarm is cancelled

Set the minimum frequency to a lower value
Set the maximum frequency to a higher value (for a wider frequency window)
Page
A23 S1 BAL FAIL or A24 S2 BAL FAIL
Possible cause
Phase balance is BAD on Source1 input
Phase balance is BAD on Source2 input
Phase balance alarm level is low (increase alarm level)
Notes:
• The alarm level is adjustable from adjustment menu (password required)
• If the alarm level is = 0(zero) this alarm will be ignored
• STS checks the phase difference between the phases of each input source separately

Set the alarm level to zero value
A25 ROTATE Ph S1 or A26 ROTATE Ph S2 alarm
Possible cause
The phase sequence of Source1 input source is not correct (change phase
sequence from input terminals of the related input source)
The phase sequence of Source2 input source is not correct (change phase
sequence from input terminals of the related input source)
Notes:
• If <PH.CYCLIC AL:OFF> option is selected this alarm will be ignored
• If <PH.CYCLIC AL:ON> option is selected, STS checks phase sequence and if sequence is not
OK, generates this alarm
• If phase sequence is not OK at any input source, STS accepts this source as “BAD” and tries to
transfer the load to the other input source

Select <PH.CYCLIC AL:OFF> option
A27 SHORT CIRCUIT alarm
Possible cause
STS sensed a short circuit at one of the output phases
Short circuit from phase to neutral occurred at Load distribution line
Short circuit at the output terminals of the STS occurred
Page
A28 MIS-FUNCTION alarm
Possible cause
During maintenance, when SW4 on S1 position, manual bypass switch SW6 is in S2 position
During maintenance, when SW4 on S2 position, manual bypass switch SW6 is in S1 position
During on source 1 maintenance bypass switch turned to S2 immediately
During on source 2 maintenance bypass switch turned to S1 immediately
 Check manual bypass SW6 switch contacts for short circuit
 Check maintenance bypass switch SW4 position sense contacts for short circuit
 Check cables from SW6 to main board
 Check position sense contact cables from SW4 to main board
 Check manual bypass SW6 switch to main boards signal connections

REPLACEMENT OF THE STC01-R2 BOARD
During servicing after you check all testpoints you may decide to replace STC01-R2 board with a
new one. At this point you need some useful information
Recorded parameters on EEPROM : If the main board is replaced with a new one, you must do
all calibrations and adjustments on STS unit again. In this case you will need AC-DC voltmeter, AC
ampermeter and thermometer for temperature calibration.
Maintenance bypass : During servicing if the unit is in maintenance bypass and if you have
replaced the main board, starting up the STS with the new main board can cause power interruptions
before you adjust parameters. Please note that maintenance bypass is for maintenance not for
servicing.
Microcontroller replacement : If you decide to replace microcontroller with a new one you don’t
need to make calibrations and adjustments because the EEPROM which keeps the adjustment
parameters is located on the main board not in the microcontroller itself.
Page
Main boards at different power ranges : from 100 to 400 amps, different models uses the
same main board. Only you must select output current multiplier from adjust menu.
The following table shows the output current selector or multiplier. From adjust menu type the
password and select CUR.MULT: XXX submenu item from the list and use (-) and (+) buttons to
calibrate the output current according to output load percentage.
value Description Output phase current

127 the load percentage is multiplied by 0,5 50 amperes

24 STV01-R2 INPUT AC VOLTAGE SAMPLE BOARD SIGNAL TEST-POINT
This board provide AC input source voltage samples to main board. There are 6 220V/2x12V small
transformers on the PCB board. Three of the transformers are used for sampling source 1 and the other three
tranformers are used for sampling source 2 input voltages. Neutrals of two sources are isolated from each other
for 4 pole units.
During operation some voltage measurements can be done on this board. For 220Vac rating STS device check

25 STM01 OUTPUT MONITORING BOARD SIGNAL TEST-POINT
There are three voltage comparators on STM01 board. The outputs of these comparators are logical OR’ed
and connected to main board. If any one of the output phase voltages of the STS is outside the acceptable
limits, set by the reference voltages VREF1 and VREF2 on the STM01 board, a fault signal is generated at the
output of this board (LD1 turned on) and is connected to the main board through CN2.

Input voltage range of the STS unit effects power supply input. So, voltages lower than specified can cause
power supply regulation problems. Please specify input voltage range of the STS during spare parts order
Page
33 PRELIMINARI OPERATION
The purpose of the STS is to select one of two input power lines which can be tolerated within the predefined
limits.
Users must decide that one of the input sources should have priority (preferred source). The other source wii
be the alternate source. So the STS tries to stay at priority (preferred) source if this source is in predefined limit
values. If this source is out of tolerance and the alternate source is in the acceptable limits, STS transfers the
load to alternate source. STS continuously checks priority (preferred) source, if it returns to tolerated limits,
retransfers the load to priority (preferred) source.
Therefore, before using the STS we must decide that which source is main (preferred) and which source is
spare (alternate).
IMPORTANT : The STS unit is designed and produced for long life even under severest conditions.
Remember however that, they are electrical power equipment units and should be checked
periodically. Besides, some components have a life cycle of their own and must therefore be checked
at regular intervals and may need to be replaced. (e.g. fans and some electrolytic capacitors.)
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
 Visual check of the connections
Check that all the power connections have been made strictly following the indications given
in the “Connections” paragraph.
 Check the following switch positions
SW1 – input 1 MCCB is in (0) position (off)
SW2 – input 2 MCCB is in (0) position (off)
SW3 – output switch is in (0) position (off)
SW4 – maintenance bypass switch is in (0) position (center)
Manual transfer switch auto position (center)
At this point there is no output voltage at the STS output terminals
POWERING ON FOR THE FIRST TIME

 Turn on input 1 power from an external input power distribution board (apply power to input 1
terminals). Measure the voltages on terminals. (according to your local electricity nominals)
Phase to phase 400 volts AC, Phase to neutral 230 volts AC.
 Turn on input 2 power from an external input power distribution board (apply power to input 2
terminals). Measure the voltages on terminals. (according to your local electricity nominals)
Phase to phase 400 volts AC, Phase to neutral 230 volts AC.
 Optional : If sources are synchronous to each other, Check that the phase sequence is matched
between two input sources (method: measure L1 phase to phase voltage between two sources,
repeat this measurement for L2 and L3 phases, if the measured AC voltages is minimum the
phases of two input sources are matched properly.)
 Turn on SW1 (1 position) wait and see that the STS control panel is activated and shows some
messages (source 2 BAD, output switch off messages are normal)
 Turn on SW2 (1 position) wait and see that only output switch off message is shown on the
display.
 At this point according to your application you must select some user options from OPTIONS
MENU of the control panel. You need password to change options. The factory set password is
“0000” (4 zeroes). You can change the factory password after you logged in.(STS front panel
functions)
 After you setup some options you can turn on SW3 output switch (1 position)
 See that there is no alarm message or alarm sound on the STS

 CC05 cable is not a standard RS232 cable, PC side is standard RS232 pins but the STS side
pin functions are different than a standard RS232 cable.
 Maximum cable length of the RS232 interface is 2,5 meters.
RS232 security
The STS serial port is interactive with PC so PC can send any command to STS in this case
unauthorized users can change parameters and send unwanted commands to STS. To prevent
unauthorized access to STS from serial port, two level securities are provided.
a) User can enable or disable remote RS232 commands from options menu, if remote is disabled
(off) STS will accept only parameter sending commands. The control commands will be refused.
b) From PC user password is required (USER LOGIN). If password is sent from PC to STS, 2
minutes login status will be applied, during this time control commands and user options will be
accepted from RS232 serial port. Bu at the end of this time remote user will be logged out.

** To calculate air capacity the following formula can be used :
Q [mc/h] = 3,1 x Pdiss [Kcal] / (ta - te) [°C]
P diss is the power dissipated by the UPS (expressed in Kcal) within the installation environment.
ta= room temperature, te= external temperature. 10% must be added to the derived figure to take
into account system losses. In the above table an example is shown of capacity with (ta - te)=5° C
and a resistive nominal load (pf=0.9).
PS: This formula can be applicable if ta>te; otherwise, the installation will require air conditioning.

*** The dispersion current of the load is added to that of the UPS on the ground protection
conductor.
