Conditions For Use; Installation - Meta System WHAD 800 Manual De Uso

Congratulations on your choice to purchase a MetaSystem UPS!
This manual contains information regarding the safety, installation and operation of the Whad series of
Uninterruptible Power Supplies manufactured by MetaSystem.
We recommend you read this manual carefully before proceeding to install your Uninterruptible Power
Supply and then to follow its instructions scrupulously.
The Whad series of UPS have been designed principally for use in civilian, industrial and electro-medical
applications; however, it is important to establish if there are particular regulations that apply to the latter
application in the country where the UPS is to be used.
Should there be a problem with the UPS, we recommend reading this manual before contacting your service
centre: the section on 'Possible problems and solutions' can help resolve the majority of potential difficulties
experienced during the use of UPS.
Important
We recommend you to keep the equipment's packaging materials, as they can be useful should the need
arise to send the product back for repairs.
Damage caused by inadequate packaging of the UPS during transport is not covered by the guarantee.

CONDITIONS FOR USE

• The UPS was designed to supply power to appliances for data elaboration; the load applied must not
exceed that stipulated on the label located on the rear of the UPS.
• The ON/OFF button of the UPS does not electrically insulate its internal parts. To insulate the UPS,
disconnect it from the mains power outlet.
• Do not open the UPS case since there may be energised parts inside, it that are dangerous even when the
UPS is not connected to the mains power outlet. In any case, there are no parts inside the UPS that can
be repaired by the consumer.
• The front control panel is for manual operation: do not use sharp or pointed objects.
• The UPS was designed to operate in a clean, closed environment that does not contain inflammable liquids
and corrosive substances and is not excessively damp.

INSTALLATION

The following connection points are located on the rear of the UPS:
• Input/Output plug-socket (3): connect the power supply cable and the output extension sockets to this
connector.
• Socket for connection of RS 232 (9 pin female) type, computer serial interface (4): to be used if the
diagnostics software is utilized.
• Layout for connection of additional batteries [5]
For reasons of safety, we recommend the cables supplied not to be modified; in addition, it is essential to
ensure both that the mains outlet used for the UPS is connected securely to the earth circuit and that a
suitable protection is provided as per regulations.
The mains outlet, or the circuit breaker, must be installed near the appliance and must be easily accessible.
Proceed with the installation as follows:
1) Locate the UPS so that the ventilation outlets are not obstructed.
2) Connect the power supply cable and the multiple-socket output extension to the Input-Output connector
(3) (see fig.2)
3) Check the on/off switches of all the appliances to be connected to the UPS are OFF and connect them to
the output extension.
4) Insert the power supply plug into a power outlet that is adequate for the voltage and current required.
Switching on
1) Switch the UPS on with the appropriate button (1) (refer to the section on 'Functions and Signals' at the
paragraph 'controls'): The UPS initially supplies the output directly with mains power using its bypass
(signalled by the yellow Status Indicator) (2) and after a few seconds switches over to its inverter and
enters its normal operation mode (the green Status Indicator [2] is on).
2) Switch the connected loads on and, after any bypass intervention, check that normal operation is resumed:
at this point the green Status Indicator [2] is on. Should the connected loads be too large, the bypass will
remain active and the red Status Indicator [2] will flash fastly.
3) A few moments after switching on, the UPS will automatically test its batteries to check if they are
operating correctly (refer to the section on the 'Battery Test').
Never remove the 230V power plug whilst the UPS is in operation: this would disconnect the earth protection
of both the UPS and of the connected loads.
Since current dispersion towards earth of all the loads are added together in the UPS protection connector
(earth wire), it is essential to check that the sum of these currents does not exceed 2.7 mA for safety
reasons, according to standard EN 62040-1-1.
If the red Status Indicator flashes briefly every 3 seconds after all the connected loads are switched on, it
is to signal that the load connected to the UPS is at the limit of toleration.
