Internal Fan
This microprocessor-controlled fan regulates the unit’s internal temperature. It must not be blocked. The filter in front of the fan is removable.
TIP: Inspect the filter every 6 months, or as often as required. Clean by removing it, running water through the filter and air-drying before reinstallation.
11
DC Out
It provides DC power (48 Vdc, 4 Amp (Max)) that can be used to power an optional 48 Vdc enclosure fan which regulates the enclosure’s interior temperature.
12
Battery Temp Sensor
It attaches the battery temperature probe to the unit for battery temperature monitoring. The charging voltage is temperature dependent and the unit’s microprocessor adjusts the voltage for optimum charging.
The probe must be attached for normal operation. The sensor end should be firmly attached to the case of the center battery with high strength flameproof tape.
13
Battery Temperature Sensor Strain Relief
This secures the Battery Temperature Sensor Cord to the front panel and prevents connector disconnection during an Earthquake or other severe vibrations.
First attach the sensor cable to the connector. Then use one of the ties provided in the mounting kit to attach the sensor cord to the strain relief loop. Ensure that the tie is tightened.

Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) System
1 Introduction
1.4.1: Automatic Transfer Switch System Description
The ATS system automatically provides backup power to the loads. See Figure 1.4.1 for a system block diagram. The ATS also allows for loads rated higher than the UPS can supply. The
ATS is the outlet for the UPS’s output power if line power is unqualified.
The ATS’s maximum input current is 40 Amps. Line power is connected to the ATS’s input
(Figure 1.4.2). When the line is qualified, it is sent to the loads.
When the line is unqualified, the UPS controller detects this and sends a signal via the control line to the ATS, causing an internal contactor to transfer the load from the line to the UPS’s output. Backup battery power is provided to the loads until the line is qualified or the batteries are discharged.
For installation and start up instructions, see Sections 2.2 and 2.3.

Site Requirements
Install the system on a surface that supports the weight. The input wires must reach a suitably grounded power outlet and the load’s wires must reach the system’s output terminal blocks.
Circuit Breaker
The system’s input must be connected to a dedicated utility line equipped with an appropriately sized circuit breaker (See Specifications). It is called the upstream circuit breaker
in this manual (See Figures 1.4.1, 1.5.1 and 1.6.1).
Mounting
There are many different types of enclosures used to house the system. They all comply with the safety regulations for UPS’s and batteries located in an outdoor environment.
Read the instructions included with your enclosure for the safe and correct way to mount the components. Contact Alpha Technologies’ customer service department for more information or for technical assistance.
Backup Generator (If Used)
TIP: If the unit constantly switches between Battery and Line modes due to a noisy line, the unit’s input parameters should be broadened from Normal to Generator.
Use a generator with electronic speed and voltage controls which produces less than 10% voltage Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Mechanical governors can force the unit to run continuously in Battery mode.
Before installation, make sure the generator’s output voltage is compatible with the unit’s input voltage requirements by comparing the specifications listed on both machine’s nameplates. To make sure the system runs smoothly, use a generator that supplies twice as much power as drawn by the total load.

Site Preparation Checklist (Continued)
Load Size
• If the load is over 2000VA (1600W), the intersection controller flash control point MUST be connected to the “On Batt” part of the UPS terminal block.
When the line is unqualified, the energized contact inside the UPS causes the intersection controller to flash the lights.
• If the load is under 2000VA (1600W), you can connect the intersection controller flash control point to either the “Timer” or the “Low Battery” portion of the UPS terminal block.
The “Timer” contacts are energized two hours after the UPS goes into
Battery mode. The “Low Battery” contacts are energized when the battery reaches 40% of capacity. Either one will cause the intersection controller to flash the lights.
Or you can wire the flash control point to both, causing the lights to flash whenever either condition occurs.
Grounding
The system must be correctly grounded for proper operation.
Older facilities may have inadequate electrical grounding. A qualified electrician should inspect it before installation to see it meets the local electrical code.

Battery Discharge States
3 UPS Operation
The batteries go through several states as they power the loads. Knowing how long they last for your conditions will help you manage the loads when the line is unqualified.
1) Battery Mode
TIP: The operator should shut down unnecessary loads to extend battery backup time.
2) Low Battery Warning
The batteries still power the loads, but they are almost discharged and cannot power them much longer.
3) Low Battery Shutdown
When the battery has a voltage of 42.5 Vdc for 3 seconds, the unit automatically goes into this state. The batteries are considered fully discharged and can no longer power the load, but they have enough power to keep the unit’s monitoring and control circuits active. This state can last several days, depending on the battery’s capacity.
4) Low Battery Disconnect
When the battery has a voltage of 42.5 Vdc for 10 seconds, the unit automatically goes into this state.
The batteries are disconnected from the unit to protect them from a damaging deep discharge. Both LEDs and the LCD are OFF, showing the unit is shut off. The unit stays off until line power or a backup generator is available or fresh batteries are connected.

For example, to change contact C1:
1
To see how it is currently programmed, type c1 (all lower case) and press ENTER.
2
The UPS responds with *c1=1 where the * shows the unit responded to your command.
1 shows it is programmed to be the On Battery indicator (see the list below for the functions).
0=Disabled 1=On Battery (onbat) 2=Low Battery (lobat) 3=Timer (timer) 4=Alarm (alarm) 5=Fault (fault)
3
To change the contact, type c1=X where X is 0 to 5 and press ENTER.
The UPS responds with *c1=(0 to 5). The programming is done for that contact. Repeat as need for the other contacts.
A contact can only be programmed for only one function at a time; it cannot show multiple conditions.
To reset the relays to the factory default, type default and press ENTER. The unit responds with

4.3.2 Timer Contacts Setting
1
To learn what the contact is set to, type timer (all lower case) and press ENTER.
The UPS responds with *timer=XXXXX where XXXXX is the setting in 0.5 second steps and the * shows the UPS responded to your command. For example, a reading of 120 shows the timer is set to 60 seconds.
2
To set the timer, type timer=X, and press ENTER (where X can be from 1 to a maximum of
64800 steps (9 hours)).
The unit responds with *timer=(value you have set).
4.3.3 Programmable Date and Time
1
To learn what time and date the UPS is set to, type clock (all lower case) and press
ENTER.
The UPS responds with *clock=mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss where the * shows the UPS responded to your command). It uses a 24-hour clock.
2
The date and time can be programmed with RS-232 communications. Type
clock=mmddyy(1 space)hhmmss (no slashes, colons or spaces between the numbers).
Press ENTER.
The UPS responds with *clock=mmddyy hhmmss. If the date or time is invalid, it shows the time and date it was set to before you tried the change.
The date and time must be entered as one complete line; you cannot change only the time or the date alone, both must be set at the same time. If you make a mistake is made, press ENTER and try again.

Using the Event Log
58
The UPS stores up to 100 events in its log. If more than 100 events occur, the oldest one is over written.
The UPS’s RS-232 commands run on a command line system. This program does NOT recognize the backspace or delete keys even if appears that way on the monitor. If you make a mistake and press ENTER, the unit echos the command back exactly as you typed it. Press ENTER and retype the command again.
1
To see the log, type event (all lower case) and press ENTER. The events are listed starting with the most recent and appear as: eventX=12/25/99 01:45:59 00000000, 00000000, 00000000

States” to see the various states the unit and the batteries go through as the battery discharges.
This test should be done once a year when the batteries are new. When the batteries are 3 years or older, do it once every 3 months.
The unit should have been in line mode for at least 24 hours before doing this test so that the batteries are fully charged.
Procedure
1
Turn off the upstream circuit breaker.
The UPS goes into Battery mode (the output LED is flashing and the LCD displays “BATT”. Record this start time
2
Record when the low battery warning (the output and alarm LEDs are flashing and the LCD displays “INVOFF”) appears.
This is the battery reserve time. Add 10% to the reserve time. This is the total battery run time
3
Turn on the upstream circuit breaker to provide line power to the unit. The unit returns to line mode and starts charging the batteries.

UPS Troubleshooting Table
Battery Lifetime
The maintenance free batteries can be affected by many factors including: operating temperature; number of discharges during the battery’s life; charging characteristics and low voltage cutoffs. This system complies with the battery manufacturer’s specifications for optimum performance and the longest possible battery life.
In normal operation, the batteries may increase in capacity during the first three to twelve months. After the first 10 to 15 discharges, the available backup power may increase by up to 20%. Once at this peak they slowly lose capacity and eventually cannot provide backup power.
