2.2  
Safety Instructions for PROTECT A.  
This chapter contains important instructions for the PROTECT  
A. UPS. These must be followed during assembly, operation  
and maintenance of the uninterruptible power supply and the  
batteries.  
The UPS carries high voltage. Danger! The unit  
may only be opened by trained and qualified  
personnel. Repairs may only be carried out by  
qualified customer service staff!  
5
 
The output may be live, even if the UPS is not  
connected to the mains supply, as the UPS has  
its own internal power supply (battery)!  
For health and safety reasons, the unit must be  
earthed correctly!  
PROTECT A. may only be operated with or connected to  
a 230 VAC mains with protective grounding using a mains  
connection cable with PE conductor (included in the delivery)  
that has been tested in accordance with German  
standards (VDE).  
Danger! Risk of burning!  
The battery has powerful short-circuit currents.  
Incorrect connection or isolation faults can lead to  
melting of the plug connections, sparking potential  
and severe burns!  
The unit has a warning signal that sounds when  
the battery voltage of PROTECT A. is exhausted  
or when the UPS is not working in its normal  
mode.  
Observe the following safety instructions to  
ensure permanent operational safety of and  
safe work with the UPS:  
Do not dismantle the UPS!  
(The UPS does not contain any parts which require  
regular maintenance. Bear in mind that the warranty  
will be invalidated if the unit is opened!)  
Do not install the unit in direct sunshine or in close  
proximity of heaters!  
The unit is designed to be installed inside in heated  
rooms. Never install the UPS in the vicinity of water or  
in an excessively damp environment!  
Condensation may occur if the UPS is brought from a  
cold environment into the room where it is to be  
installed. The UPS must be absolutely dry prior to start-  
up. As a result, leave it to acclimatise for at least two  
hours.  
6
 
Never connect the mains input to the UPS output!  
Ensure that no fluids or foreign bodies can penetrate  
the UPS!  
Do not block the side air vents of the unit! Keep  
children away from the unit and ensure that objects are  
never inserted through the vents!  
Do not connect household appliances such as  
hairdryers to the UPS!  
The mains connection should be near the unit and  
easily accessible to facilitate disconnecting the AC  
input or pulling out the plug!  
During operation, do not disconnect the mains  
connection cable from the UPS or from the socket  
outlet in the building (shockproof socket), otherwise the  
protective grounding of the UPS and all the loads  
connected to it will be cancelled.  
Danger! Electric shocks!  
Even after the mains voltage has been  
disconnected, the components within the UPS  
remain connected to the battery and can thus  
cause electric shocks. It is therefore imperative  
to disconnect the battery circuit before carrying  
out any maintenance or repair work!  
If it is necessary to replace the battery or carry  
out maintenance work, this must be done by or  
under the supervision of a person familiar with  
batteries and the necessary safety precautions!  
Only authorised persons are allowed in the  
vicinity of the batteries!  
When replacing the battery/batteries, the following must be  
observed: Only ever use identical maintenance-free sealed  
lead batteries with the same data as the original  
battery/batteries.  
Danger! Explosive!  
Never throw batteries into open fire. Never open  
or damage batteries. Electrolyte may leak out  
and damage skin and eyes. It may be toxic!  
7
 
Batteries can cause electric shocks and high  
short-circuit currents.  
Therefore, take the following safety precautions when working  
with batteries:  
Take off watches, rings and other metallic objects!  
Always use tools with insulated handles!  
For personal safety reasons, never switch on the  
main switch when the mains connector of  
PROTECT A. is disconnected!

System Description  
PROTECT A. is an uninterruptible power supply  
(UPS) for essential loads such as personal  
computers (PCs) or telecommunication equipment  
and similar devices. It consists of:  
i
Mains filter in the mains input incl. mains energy  
backfeed protection  
A.V.R. control system  
(automatic voltage regulation with mains operation)  
Battery charger for charging the battery  
Battery as energy storage medium for bridging mains  
failures (for supplying the inverter)  
Inverter for the supply of connected loads with AC  
voltage during mains failures  
Static bypass switch for switching over the loads to the  
inverter in the case of a mains failure  
UPS Block diagram PROTECT A.  
The UPS is connected to a shockproof socket between the  
public utility's mains and the loads to be protected.  
Under normal operating conditions, i.e. if PROTECT A. is supplied  
with mains voltage, the battery charger will ensure that the battery  
is always completely charged. During this operating status, the  
loads connected to PROTECT A. are supplied with voltage via  
9
 
double mains filters which provide effective protection against  
mains voltage peaks and high-frequency faults.  
In case of sustained mains undervoltage or overvoltage within  
defined ranges, the automatic voltage regulator (A.V.R.)  
further stabilises the load voltage. As a result, voltage  
fluctuations in the public utility's mains are reduced to a level  
which is acceptable for the loads. This is performed without  
recourse to the internal energy storage, something which in  
turn has a positive effect on battery availability.  
The static bypass switch is activated in the event of a mains  
failure. The inverter then takes over the voltage supply of the  
connected loads, in order to prevent the risk of data loss or  
damage to the loads. PROTECT A. supplies voltage until the  
battery is discharged, allowing you to shut down your IT  
system properly and switch it off. The standby time mainly  
depends on the connected loads. If the mains power supply is  
back to normal values, the UPS will switch back the loads to  
mains supply. The battery charger will then recharge the  
battery.  
For safety reasons (as required by German standards, VDE),  
the mains input in the unit will be disconnected by a two-pole  
switch in the event of a mains failure. Energy backfeed to the  
mains and voltage supply to the pins of the mains connector  
are thus reliably avoided.
