1 Description
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) is a device that allows continuity in the supply of loads in
alternating current, but also has protection and monitoring functions. The UPS plays a very
important role in the supply of computers and the computer network to which the computer is
possibly connected. The fields of application of UPS are numerous: communication, finance,
electricity, transport, national defense, universities, scientific research institutes and so on.

The Aquarius series from 1KVA to 3kVA, are products designed with the advanced ON-LINE UPS
technology, which provide the user with multiple functions and good performance.

1.1 Functions and features

1. The latest generations of IGBTs have been used in our UPSs to provide reliability and high
performance. In general, the electronic components we have used are able to work normally for
more than 300,000 hours.
2. Using digital technology associated with reliable algorithms, we have been able to create a
powerful and easy-to-use product.
3. The self-test at the start-up of the apparatus, allows to find in advance, potential problems of the
UPS in order to be able to intervene and resolve the problem promptly.
4. The on-line double conversion topology means that in the UPS output there is a sine wave with
constant voltage and frequency, low noise and without any type of interruption of energy supplied
to the load. All this guarantees the correct functioning of the equipment powered by our UPSs.
5. The transfer time between the main source and the emergency source at the UPS exit is zero, when
the main power supply fails it is immediately replaced by the emergency power supply
6. With the bypass function incorporated in the UPS, the energy is transferred to the loads without
any interruption. This feature is very useful when you need to perform maintenance on the UPS.
7. Advanced voltage compensation technology leads to having the input voltage range from 115V to
295V, which reduces battery usage and improves the ability to adapt to changing network
conditions.
8. The AC input frequency is 50Hz / 60Hz. When the output frequency is 50Hz, the AC input frequency
range is 45Hz-55Hz, when the output frequency is 60Hz, the AC input frequency range is 55Hz-
65Hz. The UPS has good compatibility with generators. It is suitable for different types of single-
phase generators.
9. The advanced PFC (Power Factor Correction), a technology that leads to a power factor higher than
0.98 of the UPS, increasing its energy efficiency and removing harmonic distortion.
10. The UPS starts up in battery mode, to be able to power the loads even in the absence of the mains.
When the battery voltage is low, the UPS protects itself and turns off automatically. When the main
power is restored, the UPS will detect its presence, checking that the voltage and frequency are in
the ranges. Once the input voltage is considered good, the UPS will automatically turn on to supply
loads; if the network is not considered good, the UPS will still start the charger to recharge the

battery. In this case the group does not switch on to supply loads until the voltage and frequency of
the main source fall within the allowed ranges.
11. When there is no power supply, the UPS can be started by battery. This feature is called cold start
and is used to supply loads in emergencies. This feature can also be activated at full load.
12. The UPS intervenes to protect the load when the following events occur: When the main input or
output power is too high or too low, in case of overload, short circuit, high inverter stage
temperature, minimum voltage and battery overload.
13. The UPS can be installed in a Rack or Tower version. The viewing angle of the display can be easily
changed by pressing two buttons on the control panel of the apparatus. The content displayed on
the interface is rich in measurements. Alarms and statuses are easily controlled from the operator
panel.
14. It is possible to connect the UPS to a computer, through an RS232 serial port. A software must be
installed on the PC that allows the intelligent management of most of the functionalities of the
device.
15. If you want to connect the UPS to a computer network, you must have a kit called "SNMP adapter".
The connection can be internal or external to the UPS. Through these cards it is possible to monitor
the UPS from the internet or by evicting the various network protocols made available to the kit.
16. A further possibility to monitor the UPS is the USB port, present on the UPS. Also, in this case it will
be necessary to load a software on the PC to which the group is connected.
17. The ECO function saves electricity. When the input voltage is in an acceptable range, the load is fed
directly from the mains. In this case the inverter remains in stand-by. When the input voltage
comes out of the ranges, the load is powered by the inverter, which returns the output voltage in
the allowed ranges.

NOTE: THE ALARM CODES ARE INCLUDED IN THE APPENDICES OF THIS MANUAL.

INFORMATION:

 This procedure must be carried out when a UPS with a generator (GE) is powered:
 Turns on the GE, after it has started up and its output is stable in both frequency and voltage,
turn on the UPS.
 After the UPS has turned on, connect the loads one at a time.
 The power of the GE must be twice the power of the UPS.
 Do not activate the ECO mode function if the GE output is not very stable.

6 Maintenance
Minimal maintenance is required for this series of UPSs. Battery batteries are hermetically sealed,
and only need to be charged properly in order to maintain the expected life. To charge the batteries,
simply connect the UPS to the network. The device will take care of protecting the batteries in case
of excessive charge, and in case of deep discharge.

6.1 Battery maintenance

1. It is a good rule to perform a deep discharge and relative recharge, every three or four
months.

2. If the batteries are placed in environments where high temperatures are present, the
discharge and recharge should be done every two months.

3. On average, the expected life of sealed lead batteries varies from three to five years. During
periodic discharges / recharges, check the discharge / recharging times, should the batteries
shorten dramatically, they must be replaced as soon as possible by specialized personnel.

4. It is advisable to replace all the batteries at once.

5. ATTENTION: ALL MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES MUST BE DONE BY SPECIALIZED

PERSONNEL AND FOLLOWING SAFETY REGULATIONS.
