DANGER: Lead-acid batteries contain hazardous materials. Batteries must be handled, transported, and recycled or discarded in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Because lead is a toxic substance, lead-acid batteries should be recycled rather than discarded.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, the batteries may explode.

Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolytes are harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic.

A battery can have a high short circuit current and present a risk of electrical shock. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:

1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.

2. Use tools with insulated handles.

3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.

4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

5. Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

6. Determine whether battery is inadvertently grounded. if so, remove the source of the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

7. Lead-acid batteries can present a risk of fire because they generate hydrogen gas. The following procedures should be followed:

– Do not smoke when near batteries.

– Do not cause flame or spark in battery area.

8. Discharge static electricity from your body before touching batteries by first touching a grounded surface.

Chapter 2. Overview

This chapter provides an overview of the Single-Phase Lighting Inverter Standard Series.

710-MAN Page 11 of 102

2.1 Product Description

The Single-Phase Lighting Inverter is manufactured to provide critical power for lighting during a power outage. The Lighting Inverter meets or exceeds the life safety codes of UL924 and UL1778.

These codes were established to allow emergency lighting inverters to provide critical power to the lighting circuits during a power failure.

If input power to the inverter is lost during a power outage, the system draws clean sine wave power automatically from its internal battery supply without any interruption. Power is provided for 90 minutes, sufficient time for safe and orderly evacuation from the facility.

An optional output transformer allows multiple output voltages as well as input voltages that are different from output voltages. The internal valve regulated lead-acid (VRLA), maintenance-free batteries provide 90 minutes of backup power. When input power is restored, the Lighting Inverter resumes normal operation automatically and begins recharging the batteries immediately.

An internal bypass circuit maintains power to the load in case an internal unit failure occurs.

Comprehensive monitoring capabilities include a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel and Optional dry relay contacts for remote monitoring.

2.2 Models

The Single-Phase Lighting Inverters are available in two series:

❖ Standard series

❖ Seismic series

2.2.1 Standard Series

The Standard Series Single-Phase Lighting Inverters are on-line single phase PWM inverters. The systems support power ratings from 2.1 to 17KW power ratings.

All Standard Series systems comply with UL1778, UL924, UL924A, and CSA107.1 standards. They are available with input or output voltages of 120, 208, 240, 277 or 480 VAC, single phase. This information is shown on the nameplate located on the inside front door of the unit.

2.3 Product Features

The following describes the major blocks within the System. See Figure 3-1. Key Components on page 20 to find specific components.

Components Function

1 Input Contactor K1 The input contactor is multifunctional. First, it provides connections for the input power to the unit. Secondly, the contactor disconnects the input line when an outage occurs so that there is no back feeding of power into the power line. Finally, the contactor allows for automatic unit operation upon a complete discharge of the batteries. No operator intervention is required when power to the unit is restored after a complete battery discharge.

2 Battery Charger The battery charger maintains the batteries at full charge. After a battery discharge, the charger will automatically recharge the batteries upon restoration of input power. This circuit is on the Power Board.

3 Power Board Assembly with IGBTs The Power Board is bolted onto the IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) blocks that are mounted on a heat sink. The complete Heat Sink Assembly with IGBTs and Power Board is replaceable as a single part. This FRU (Field Replaceable Assembly) converts all the power, i.e.

input AC power converted to DC bus, battery power boosted to DC bus, and finally DC bus power converted to output AC power using PWM technology for a smooth AC sine wave. In case of a catastrophic failure, the complete Heat Sink Assembly is easily replaceable using only a screwdriver. The Power Board also contains the housekeeping power supplies and drivers for the IGBTs.

The entire assembly provides the landing place for all internal input, output, DC cables and metering devices for control and monitoring of the unit input and output currents.

4 Control Board The microprocessor with unit specific firmware and control circuitry is located on the Control Board. The Control Board is mounted on the cabinet door and communicates with the Power Board (A2) via a ribbon cable. It monitors the input and output voltages and generates the command to close or open the input contactor and to sense and change the status of the bypass static switch. The Control Board sends data to the LCD panel located on the door where actual status and parameters are displayed. It additionally has AS400, RS232, and RS485 output capabilities and supports various communication including SNMP options.

5 Output Static Switch This SCR solid-state switch connects the output of the inverter (UPS) to the load. It is connected on the primary side of the optional output isolation transformer.

3.2 Functional Description

Figure 3-3 shows the major blocks within the system and the sections following the figure describe them.

Figure 3-3. Major System Blocks

3.2.1 Inverter

The inverter accepts the available DC power from the rectifier or the battery banks and converts it to AC power for the critical load.

3.2.2 Battery Charger

The battery charger converts AC power into regulated DC power to recharge and maintain the charge on the battery bank. The charger is fully automatic, with a current-limiting feature that prevents battery damage in case of a charger malfunction. The charger is sized so that the batteries are maintained at full charge, even when the input voltage is at the low line limit for indefinite periods of time.

710-MAN Page 25 of 102

3.2.3 Battery

The battery bank consists of 8, 10, 16, or 20 12-Volt batteries. These batteries provide the reserve energy to sustain the load when suitable AC input power is not present. The batteries are sealed, maintenance-free, valve-regulated lead acid (VRLA) construction.

3.2.4 Output Transformer

The output transformer is used for multiple output voltage units only. It performs the following functions:

❖ It provides excellent common mode and normal mode noise isolation of the load from the input or inverter power.

❖ It provides voltage transformation and tight regulation of the output voltage, while the system operates from its internal inverter.

❖ It can be used to provide a different voltage from the input source voltage.

3.2.5 Internal Maintenance Bypass Switch, MBS Switch – Optional

Internal Manual Maintenance Bypass Switch is a (3) position “UPS”, “SBS” and “BYPASS” rotary switch, when set to “BYPASS” provides power directly from UPS main input feed to the load which ensures continuous power to critical load without interruption.

Caution: Do not leave the switch in the SBS position; otherwise, a loss of power to the critical load will occur when the inverter is de-energized.

3.2.6 Efficiency Optimizer Function: (OFF Line Inverter Mode

When input power is available, the batteries are charged and AC output from the inverter supports the critical load via the inverter static switch. This is normal mode, during which the inverter static switch is closed, and the bypass static switch is opened. The bypass static switch is closed only during inverter faults or manual operation, in which case the critical load is supported by output power from the bypass static switch.

This is normal operation for true-double convention UPS. However, higher efficiency UPS operation can be achieved to reduce electricity costs by operating the unit as an “off-line inverter.” This scenario reverses the normal operating mode. Normally, the bypass static switch is closed as long as the input voltage and input frequency are within ±10% of the normal input voltage range and ±3 Hz of the normal input frequency range, and the inverter static switch is opened. In off-line inverter mode, the inverter static switch is closed only if input power fails or when and out-of-voltage and frequency condition exists.

By eliminating the requirement for an output voltage regulation of ±10% (voltage window range) or ± 15% (selectable) voltage window range:

710-MAN Page 26 of 102

❖ System efficiency increases by 2% to 4% depending on the model

❖ Total power loss is reduced.

❖ The output AC voltage in the mode of operation follows proportionally to the input line voltage.

3.3 Theory of Operation

The following section describes the system’s theory of operation.

3.3.1 Standby Mode and Normal Mode

After power is applied to the system, the system enters standby mode and performs a self-test.

During this period, the start subroutine checks for input voltage, and proper operation of the inverter and bypass SCRs. After the self-test completes successfully, the system enters normal mode.

During normal mode:

1. Input contactor K1 receives a closing signal that connects input power to the DC supply transformer.

2. The DC rectifier supplies the battery charger, control board, and the DC/AC inverter circuit.

3. The battery charger is activated, allowing the batteries to be charged continuously.

4. The on-line DC/AC inverter converts the DC voltage to a PWM waveform. This waveform is filtered and reconstructed to a desired AC output.

3.3.2 Response to Input Power Failure

If the system controller senses a change in input frequency greater than ± 3 Hz or an out-of-range input voltage, it:

❖ Considers the event as an input failure and opens the input contactor immediately, isolating the unit from the facility.

❖ Turns off the charger and makes the battery bank a DC supply source to the inverter circuit, maintaining an uninterrupted AC supply to the protected load.

❖ Issues a UPS ALARM message on the LCD display panel.

When the facility power returns, stabilizes, and is in phase with the backup power, the system controller closes the input contactor and the system returns to normal mode. If the battery voltage drops below 16% of its nominal value and the facility power remains off, the system enters into alert mode.

710-MAN Page 27 of 102

3.3.3 UPS Alert

The system controller issues an ALERT message on the LCD display panel if any of the following conditions occurs:

❖ Internal failure

❖ System overheats

❖ Battery bank under-voltage

During an alert:

❖ The system stops its backup operation.

❖ The inverter SCRs are switched OFF.

❖ Bypass SCRs are switched ON.

❖ A summary alarm 5V signal is sent to the hardwired interface.

The system remains in this mode until power is cycled or the system is repaired.

3.3.4 UPS Alarm

The system controller issues a UPS ALARM message on the LCD display panel if any of the following conditions occurs:

❖ Input power failure

❖ Output overload

When the system is in alarm mode, inverter IGBs remain on and an alarm signal may be sent to the signal interface. The system resets itself when the problem no longer exists.

3.3.5 Output Loads

The system is designed to power any fluorescent or incandescent HID lighting. However, certain types of loads exhibit an excessive inrush current when first turned on or at other times during operation.

As a result, the capacity of the system might need to be greater than the capacity that is estimated based on requirements shown on the system’s nameplate. If you have questions about powering unusual loads from your system, contact your dealer or the factory.

Installation

710-MAN Page 28 of 102

Chapter 4. Installation

This chapter describes how to install the system. It includes pre-installation information along with guidelines for storing the system for future use.

710-MAN Page 29 of 102

4.1 Delivery Space Requirements

The following figures show the dimensions of the system cabinets as well as key components used for cable access and mounting.

Verify that the delivery area, the destination, and the path between them meet the standard delivery clearance and weight requirements of the system.

The delivery area must provide enough space and floor strength to support the packaged equipment cartons for the system. Doorways and hallways must provide enough clearance to move the equipment safely from the delivery area to the destination. Permanent obstructions such as pillars or narrow doorways can cause equipment damage. If necessary, plan for the removal of walls or doors.

Verify that all floors, stairs, and elevators you use when moving the system to its destination can support the weight and size of the equipment. Failure to do so could damage the equipment or your site.

4.2 Site Considerations

Planning the proper location and layout of the system prior to installing it is essential for successful operation. To ensure normal operation and to avoid unnecessary maintenance, plan your site configuration and prepare your site before installation, refer to Table 4-1, for facility recommendation.

The system is designed for indoor installation and meets NEMA specifications for operating temperature, humidity, and utility voltage. The system enclosures are rugged and corrosion resistant.

All servicing is performed through the front of the unit; therefore, leave sufficient room in the front of the unit for service access.

The following precautions will help you plan an acceptable operating environment for the system:

❖ Select a flat location that is clean, with no dust or exposure to direct sunlight or vibrations. The location should provide a sturdy, level surface that can support the system. Avoid locations with inclined floors.

❖ The location should not be prone to variations in temperature and humidity or be close to strong magnetic fields or a device that generates electric noise.

❖ The unit should not be placed next to, on top of, or below any device that generates heat or will block the free flow of air through the system’s ventilation slots.

❖ The Lighting Inverter cabinets provide cable and conduit openings on the top and sides of the cabinet. Be sure these areas are not blocked and can be easily accessed to expedite installation.

❖ Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature might not be adequate to cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Ensure that the room in which the system will operate has adequate air circulation.

Caution: Always follow proper ESD-prevention procedures to avoid damage to equipment. Damage from static discharge can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure.

Caution: For sites with Generator and Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) in conjunction with the unit, make sure the ATS has an open transition with minimum 20 milli-seconds transfer time (gap) in both directions

1. For all wire sizes consult local codes and NEC based on unit current requirements.

2. For Different Input / Output voltage units, add 100 BTU/HR per KW for Transformer.

3. Input / Output power connections (terminal blocks), accepting 14 AWG to 2/O AWG.

4.The external input circuit breaker protecting the unit must be a delayed trip type. this is due to magnetic inrush current drawn during application of AC power.

4.2.2 Operating Environment

The location you choose for installation should confirm to the following conditions.

Table 4-2. Inverter Environmental Specifications

Inverter Environment Description

Operating Temperature: 0 to 40C (0 to 104F)

Altitude: 1,829 meters (6,000 feet) de-rate 10% for each additional 305 meters (1,000 feet) up to 2,744 meters (9,000 feet)

Relative humidity: 0% to 95% (non-condensing)

Audible Noise: 57 dBA, typical

710-MAN Page 41 of 102

Caution: Operating batteries outside of the specifications shown above will shorten battery life significantly.

Table 4-3. Battery Environmental Specifications

Battery Environment Description

Ambient temperature: 20 to 25C (68 to 77 °F)

Relative humidity: 0% to 95% (non-condensing)

Operating altitude: 1,829 meters (6,000 feet) de-rate 10% for each additional 305 meters (1,000 feet) up to 2,744 meters (9,000 feet)

4.2.3 Floor Load Ratings

The floor space at the installation site must be strong enough to support the combined weight of the Lighting Inverter unit and its batteries. To ensure adequate load-bearing capacity, plan for the maximum configuration.

4.3 Delivery and Handling

4.3.1 Inspecting the Shipment

The equipment included in your shipment consists of one Lighting Inverter cabinet. Batteries will typically ship separately unless specified otherwise. The contents are covered with protective wrapping and packaged in heavy-duty cardboard. Each item is labeled with the component name for easy identification.

When the equipment arrives, count the number of items delivered to ensure that you have the complete shipment. Inspect all protective wrapping or crates and any boxes for signs of rough handling or damage, such as punctures and crushed sides, preferably without moving the equipment. If the shipping container or equipment itself shows evidence of damage, record the damage on the receiving document before signing for receipt of the equipment. Damage claims should be filed directly with the carrier.

Thoroughly inspect each battery for any signs of damage. If there is any damage, reject the shipment and notify the manufacturer by email services@800pwrsrvc.com. If possible, photograph the damage for future reference. As you unpack the pallet or container, check each battery box for damage on all sides, the top and bottom. If there is any sign of damage, photograph the damage if possible, and email services@800pwrsrvc.com.

4.3.2 Offloading the System

Because the system is designed for pad mounting, it is not accompanied by casters. At the user’s discretion, a forklift can be used to off load the unit from the shipping pallet. Always be sure that the load capacity of the forklift is sufficient to support the weight of the unit and its batteries.

710-MAN Page 42 of 102

DANGER: Exercise extreme care when handling the cabinets to avoid equipment damage or injury to personnel. Each cabinet weighs several hundred pounds. Test lift and balance the cabinets before moving. Maintain minimum tilt from vertical at all times. The bottom structure will support the unit only if the forklift forks are completely underneath the unit.

4.3.3 Climatization

Units that are shipped or stored at extreme temperatures require time to adjust to operating temperatures before startup. If the unit arrives in hot or cold weather, do not unpack it until it has been allowed to reach room temperature (one to two hours).

Immediately exposing the unit to warm temperature can cause condensation to occur, which could damage the electronics. If you notice any condensation, allow the unit to stand unattended for one to two hours, and then unpack it.

4.3.4 Unpacking the Equipment

After checking the cartons for signs of damage, perform the following steps to unpack the equipment:

1. Open all cartons.

2. Compare the items received to the packing list.
