Several Battery Boxes can be connected in a cascade to ensure prolonged autonomy. The connections should be made as
shown here below:
WARNING (only for single UPS): No more than one UPS may be connected to each Battery Box or to more than one
Battery Box connected in a cascade.

Having installed one or more BATTERY BOXES, the UPS must be set up to update the rated capacity value (total Ah of
batteries inside the UPS + external batteries).
This setting should be made using the advanced configuration software UPSTools, present on the CD-ROM provided with the
UPS or directly from the control panel of the UPS.
Installing and running UPSTools:
Ø
Follow the installation and operating instructions given in the software manual present in the UPSTools folder of the
CD-ROM.
Making the setting from the display
Set the rated battery capacity following the indications given in the "USE" chapter.

This NON ISOLATED input may be used to measure the temperature inside a remote Battery Box.
The special kit provided by the manufacturers must be used: any methods not conforming to specifications may
cause faults or breakdowns in the equipment.
To install, connect the cable included in the special kit to the "EXT BATTERY TEMP PROBE" connector (see "View of the UPS
Connections" ref. 3).
After installation, enable the external temperature measuring function using the advanced configuration software UPSTools
present on the CD-ROM provided with the UPS.

ESCRIPTION
The purpose of a UPS is to ensure a perfect power supply voltage for the devices connected to it irrespective of whether mains
power is present or not. Once connected and powered, the UPS generates a sinusoidal alternating voltage with a stable
amplitude and frequency, irrespective of the changes and/or variations occurring on the electricity network. For as long as the
UPS receives energy from the mains, the batteries are kept charged under the control of the multiprocessor board. This board
also controls continuously the amplitude and frequency of the mains voltage, the amplitude and frequency of the voltage
generated by the inverter, the load applied, the internal temperature and the state of efficiency of the batteries.
The block diagram below shows each of the parts that make up the UPS.

IMPORTANT: Our UPS are designed and produced for long life even under the severest conditions. Remember however that
they are electrical power equipment items and as such are in need of periodic checks. Besides, some components have a life
cycle of their own and must therefore be checked at regular intervals and may need to be replaced, where due to the conditions:
in particular, the batteries, fans and in some cases the electrolytic capacitors.
It is recommended to implement a preventive maintenance program, using manufacturer authorised and trained service
personnel.
Our Technical Servicing department is at your disposal to discuss the different personalized preventive maintenance options
with you.
