MEASUREMENT DISPLAY AREA

The front panel can be used to display important UPS operating information. When the UPS is switched-on, the display
shows the main voltage value.
To display a different measurement, press the “SEL” button repeatedly until the desired measurement appears.
In the event of a fault/alarm (FAULT) or a lock (LOCK), the display will automatically show the type and code of the
corresponding alarm.

Some examples are shown below:

 CONFIGURING THE OPERATING MODE

The area of the display shown in the figure displays the active operating
mode and allows the user to choose other modes directly from the display
panel.

12
12 HOW TO PROCEED:
• To access the configuration area, hold down the “SEL” button for at least 3 seconds.
• The icon corresponding to the mode currently set lights up.
• To change the mode, press the “ON” button.
• To confirm the mode chosen, hold down the “SEL” button for at least 3 seconds.

POSSIBLE SETTINGS
The UPS is designed to be configured in various operating modes:
• L.I. normal operating mode
• ECO is the mode with which the UPS consumes the least amount of power, and is therefore the most efficient
• MODE using the UPS Tools software it is possible to customise the UPS operational characteristics.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

MODE “BATTERY SWAP”

The “battery swap” mode ensures that the UPS remains in normal operation from the mains supply. In this condition the load
is powered directly by the input mains, any disruption in the mains directly affects the load.

ATTENTION:
PRIOR TO PERFORMING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE ENSURE THAT THE UPS IS NOT IN BATTERY
OPERATION MODE

Attention: even when the UPS is switched on, the load is disconnected in the event of a mains blackout.
If the input mains deviates from the established tolerances, the UPS automatically switches to Stdby mode and disconnects
the load.

To force the UPS into “battery swap” mode press and hold the ON and SEL keys at the same time for at least 4 sec.
The code "C02" appears on the display.
To return to the normal operation mode press the ON and SEL keys again for at least 4 sec.

PROGRAMMABLE AUXILIARY SOCKET (EnergyShare)

The EnergyShare sockets are outlets that allow for the automatic disconnection of the load applied to them in certain
operating conditions. The events that determine automatic disconnection of the EnergyShare sockets can be selected by
the user through the UPStools configuration software. For example, it is possible to select disconnection after a certain
period of battery operation; or when the pre-alarm threshold for battery discharge has been reached, or when an overloading
event occurs.
By default the Energyshare sockets are not configured and therefore function as other outlets.
The EnergyShare function is associated with an icon on the display whose meaning is explained in the paragraph entitled
“Display panel indications”
The presence and the number of these sockets depend on the UPS type, and they are distinguished by a different colour
with respect to other sockets.

MONITORING AND CONTROL SOFTWARE

The UPSMon software guarantees effective, intuitive UPS management, displaying all the most important information such
as input voltage, applied load and battery capacity.
It is also able to perform shutdown operations and send e-mails, text messages and network messages automatically when
certain events (selected by the user) occur.

INSTALLATION OPERATIONS
1) Connect one of the UPS’s communication ports to one of the PC’s communication ports using the cable supplied.
2) Download the software from the web site www.ups-technet.com selecting the specific operating system.
3) Follow the installation program instructions.
4) For more detailed information please read the user manual which can be downloaded from www.ups-technet.com.

CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE
The UPStools software allows the configuration and full display of the status of the UPS via USB or RS232.
For a list of possible configurations available to the user, refer to the UPS Configuration paragraph.

INSTALLATION OPERATIONS
1) Connect one of the UPS’s communication ports to one of the PC’s communication ports using the cable supplied.
2) Follow the installation instructions shown within the software manual which can be located in the UPSTools directory or
downloaded from the web site www.ups-technet.com.

CAUTION:
If the RS232 communication port is used, it is not possible to communicate with the USB port and vice versa.
It is advisable to use a cable which is shorter than 3 metres for communication with the UPS.
To obtain additional communication ports with different functions, independent from the standard USB and
RS232 ports on the UPS, various accessories are available which can be inserted into the communication
card slot.

To check the availability of new, more updated software versions and for more information about the
accessories available, consult the website www.ups-technet.com.

cards (see figure on right) which allows the device to communicate using
the main communication standards.
Some examples:
• Second RS232 and USB port
• Serial duplicator
• Ethernet network card with TCP/IP, HTTP and SNMP protocols
• JBUS / MODBUS protocol converter card
• PROFIBUS protocol converter card
• Card with relay isolated contacts

 BATTERY PACK REPLACEMENT
The UPS is also equipped with a dedicated battery pack that allows for easy replacement of batteries (hot swap) in complete
safety, thanks to the protected connection system.

• WHEN THE BATTERY PACK IS DISCONNECTED, THE LOADS CONNECTED TO THE UPS ARE
NOT PROTECTED IN THE EVENT OF A MAINS FAILURE
• THE BATTERY PACK IS VERY HEAVY. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN REPLACING IT.

1. Set the UPS in “battery swap” mode by pressing and holding both the ON and SEL button for 4 seconds (See par.
USE / Operating mode configuration) on the display will appear the code “C02” NOTE: in this condition the load is
powered from the mains supply.

2. The battery pack is positioned behind the UPS front panel. Remove the front panel as shown in the figure below.
Disconnect the connector that connects the battery pack to the UPS.
