Product Description  
an uninterruptible power system is a system that is installed between the commercial power and the load  
equipment. the UpS provides steady aC output power during commercial power short-term blackouts or  
brownouts. this power is provided for a long enough time so that the load can be shut down in an orderly  
fashion. this prevents loss of data and possible damage to both hardware and software.  
During normal operation, the UpS uses commercial aC power. it absorbes all of the high voltage spikes  
and transients caused by switching and faults, and all of the common-mode and normal mode noise  
which is associated with commercial AC power. The UPS converts it all to flat DC power. From this power,  
the UpS charges its batteries and generates its own extremely high quality aC waveform output. the  
result of this process is maximum power conditioning and regulation.  
If theAC power supplied to the UPS drops below a specified voltage level, the unit’s batteries automatically  
begin supplying power instead of receiving it. this insures that the loads connected to the UpS continue  
to receive power with no interruption. when aC input power becomes available again, operation returns  
to normal. the unit’s batteries begin to recharge so they will be ready for the next power interruption.  
Application and Use  
toshiba 1600ep Series of on-line uninterruptible power system (UpS) provides continuous computer-  
grade AC power in a compact, high performance, and energy efficient unit. The UPS unit assures safe  
and reliable operation of critical office equipment. This can range from word processors and personal  
computers to mini-computers and local area networks. all units feature an audible alarm which sounds  
if the battery voltage drops below a specified minimum during use. This is an additional aid to help in  
retaining the valuable office data banks. All units allow for computer interfacing.

Power Backup  
when an electrical power failure occurs, the UpS’s internal batteries automatically supply back-up power  
to the load without interruption. For example, when used to support a computer, the UpS back-up assures  
enough additional time to complete the activity and store the data. this allows an orderly shutdown after  
a power failure has occurred.  
Power Conditioning  
when commercial power is present, the UpS supplies conditioned power to the load while maintaining its  
batteries in a charged condition. the UpS protects against the normal, everyday problems associated  
with heavy use of raw commercial power, including power sags, surges, signal interference, and spikes.  
this protection keeps power-line problems from reaching your load, where they can cause equipment to  
operate erratically, or damage software and hardware.

Installation Precautions  
CAUTION  
1. install the unit in a well-ventilated location; allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) on all sides for air  
ventilation and for maintenance.  
2. install the unit in a stable, level and upright position that is free of excessive vibration.  
3. Install the unit where the ambient temperature is within the range specified on pages 16 and 19.  
4. Do not install the UpS in areas that are subject to high humidity.  
5. Do not install the UpS in areas that allow exposure to direct sunlight.  
6. Do not install the UpS in areas that allow exposure to high levels of airborne dust, metal particles,  
or flammable gases.  
7. Do not install the UpS in areas near sources of electrical noise. ensuring a proper earth ground  
will reduce the effects of electrical noise and will reduce the potential for electrical shock.  
8. DO NOT install the UPS in areas that would allow fluids or any foreign object to get inside the  
UpS.  
9. the UpS generates and can radiate radio-frequency energy during operation. although rFi noise  
filters are installed inside of the unit, there is no guarantee that the UPS will not influence some  
sensitive devices that are operating near by. if such interference is experienced, the UpS should  
be installed farther away from the affected equipment and/or powered from a different source than  
that of the affected equipment.  
10. the user should provide output over-current protection for hardwired UpS systems. See the  
section titled Specifications on page 15 and 18 for the device rating.  
11. after ensuring that all power sources are turned off and isolated in accordance with established  
lockout/tagout procedures, connect the power source wiring of the correct voltage to the input  
terminals of the UpS.  
12. Connect the output terminals of the UpS to the load (refer to neCarticle 300 – wiring methods and  
article 310 – Conductors For general wiring). Size the branch circuit conductors in accordance  
with neC table 310.16.  
Conductor Routing and Grounding  
1. Use separate metal conduits for routing the input power, output power, and control circuits.  
2. Follow the wire size and tightening torque specifications listed on page 11.  
3. always ground the unit to reduce the potential for electrical shock and to help reduce electrical  
noise.  
4. a separate ground cable should be run inside the conduit with the input power, output power, and  
control circuits.  
WARNING  
THE METAL OF CONDUIT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE GROUND.

Operating Precautions  
1. the UpS should not be powered up until the entire operation manual has been read.  
2. the voltage of the input power source must be within the range of +10% to -30% of the rated  
input voltage. the input frequency must be within the rated input frequency range. Voltages and  
frequencies outside of the permissible range may activate the internal protection devices.  
3. the UpS should not be used with a load that has a rated input that is greater than the rated  
output of the UpS.  
4. Do not use the UpS to provide power to motors that require high starting current or with motors  
that require a long starting time, such as vacuum cleaners and machine tools (oversizing the UpS  
for lock rotor current would be required).  
5. Do not insert metal objects or combustible materials in the ventilation slots of the UpS.  
6. Do not place, hang, or paste any objects on the exterior surfaces of the UpS.  
7. the capacitors of the UpS maintain a residual charge for a while after turning the UpS off. the  
required discharge time for each UpS typeform is provided via a cabinet label and a CHARGE  
LED. wait for at least the minimum time indicated on the label and ensure that the CHARGE LED  
has gone out before opening the door of the UpS once the UpS power has been turned off.  
8. Do not attempt to disassemble, modify, or repair the UpS. Call your toshiba sales representative  
for repair information.  
9. turn the power on only after installing all of the covers.  
10. Do not remove any covers of the UpS when the power is on.  
11. if the UpS should emit smoke, produce an unusual odor, or make sound, turn the power off  
immediately.  
12. the heat sink and other components may become extremely hot to the touch. allow the unit to  
cool before touching these items.  
13. Warning signs should be placed on or near the load as a notification that the load is being  
powered by the UpS.  
14. Additional warnings and notifications shall be posted at the equipment installation location as  
deemed required by Qualified Personnel.  
when operating in the inverter mode, placing the  
WARNING  
breaker in the OFF position will switch the UpS to  
the battery backup mode. the output of the UpS will  
continue uninterrupted to the load. the unit must be  
in the bypass mode at the time that the breaker is  
placed in the OFF position for the UpS to shutdown  
power to the load.  
wait at least 5 minutes after an emergency power  
off (epo) before resetting the UpS breaker. this  
allows the UpS circuitry to fully discharge. the UpS  
could be damaged if the unit is not fully discharged  
before the breaker is reset.

UPS Stop Signal Operation  
when the UpS stop signal is sent to the UpS through pin 2 and 3 of the external contact interface, it is  
possible to automatically reset the following operating systems (oS), which can automatically implement  
the shutdown function and restart the operation:  
Applicable OS: Windows NT, IBM OS/2 LAN server, LANtastic  
when the power fails, the oS receives the power failure signal from the UpS and starts the shutdown  
process. at the end of the oS shutdown process, the oS sends a stop signal to the UpS, and the UpS  
stops. when the power recovers, the UpS automatically restarts the oS within 10 minutes after the  
recovery from power failure.  
if the line power recovers while the oS is in the shutdown process, the oS continues the shutdown  
process, and signals the UpS to stop. the UpS temporarily cuts off the output (10 - 20 seconds) and then  
restarts the oS. in this case the UpS cuts off output even with normal input power.  
if the oS sends a stop signal to the UpS 10 or more minutes after recovery from a power failure, the UpS  
will ignore the signal and continue normal operation.  
Connect only the UpS stop signal to the external contact interface for automatic processing so that the  
UpS output will not be turned off by mistake.  
If the computer is started/restarted within 10 minutes after the recovery from a power failure, the  
power supply may be reset while the computer is restarting.

Operating the UPS  
Battery Backup Time and Discharge Process  
the UpS batteries provide about 5-7 minutes of back-up time depending on the 1600ep unit kVa rating.  
these times are valid when the unit is operating under full load and at the rated power factor. the exact  
length of these times will depend on the UpS model used, condition of the batteries, amount and type of  
load, temperature and other variables. See battery backup time in ‘Standard Specifications’ beginning on  
pages 15-20.

Starting the UPS  
turn the main circuit breaker (mCCb) on the back of the UpS (see pages 47-48) to the ON position. the  
breaker should normally remain in the ON position.  
Verify that the ON-LINE leD on the front panel (see page 32 and 33) lights green. all leD’s on the front  
panel may light for a moment when the input breaker is turned on. this is normal. the UpS will now be  
supplying power in the bypass mode.  
CAUTION  
When running the UPS for the first time or after the power failure backup  
operation, charge the batteries for at least 24 hours (input breaker on) before  
operating the connecting load.  
Using the UpS without charging the battery shortens the battery backup operation  
time, which may result in the destruction of data in case of a power failure.  
press RUN key to begin UpS operation (see page 29 for startup screens).  
CAUTION  
If the input breaker is turned off while UPS is in the bypass state, the output  
power stops. Any load devices will lose power.  
ensure that all sensitive loads have been previously shut down.  
Stopping the UPS  
to stop the UpS press and hold the STOP key approximately 1 second until the ON-LINE leD changes  
from green to off. the UpS is now in the bypass mode.  
to completely stop the UpS, turn the input breaker at the back of the UpS to the OFF position.

The recharge process usually consists of three periods. During the first period, the current is maintained  
at approximately 1 ampere. this current limit is the maximum value that can be used to charge the  
batteries (for minimal recharge time) while assuring safety and long battery life. in the second period,  
constant-voltage control starts and current gradually decreases as the batteries charge to their normal  
fully charged state. In the third period, a slight trickle current continues to flow into the batteries to keep  
them fully charged and floating at the normal Vdc level. A full recharge usually requires 24 hours (90%  
recharge in 12 hours) after a complete discharge.  
the following chart shows the rated maximum and minimum battery voltages and the charge current for  
each of the sizes.

Online Mode  
Online Mode (Run operation)  
The following illustration shows circuit power flow when the UPS is operating normally in the online  
mode. The UPS rectifier, including a boost chopper circuit, converts AC input power to DC power. The  
boost chopper circuit maintains a constant voltage, with current limiting, for charging the batteries. it also  
supplies a DC voltage of the proper level to the inverter section. the inverter section generates a high  
quality sine wave output voltage. the unit’s batteries are always maintained in a constantly charged state  
when the UpS is in the run operation mode.  
POWER FLOW IN ONLINE MODE FOR ALL MODELS  
Static-Bypass Mode (Stop operation)  
If the UPS unit is severely overloaded or develops an internal fault, power flow is automatically switched  
from the unit’s main circuit to the bypass circuit. Power flow through the bypass is shown in the following  
illustration. this change-over occurs automatically in phase in less than 4 milliseconds. the switching  
period is not long enough to cause interruptions to occur in most loads.  
If the power flow is transferred to the bypass circuit because of an overload and that overload condition  
ends within a specified period of time then the power flow will be transferred back to the Online mode  
(run operation) automatically.  
If the power flow is transferred to the bypass circuit due to an external fault the UpS will shut down  
power through the bypass to the load and indicate a system fault message.  
If the power flow is transferred to the bypass circuit due to an internal fault the UPS will continue to  
supply power to the load through the bypass and indicate a system fault message (see system fault  
message DC-oC on page 43).  
If the power flow is transferred to the bypass circuit due to an overload condition (see system warning  
message OL: redUCe LOAd on page 39 and AUTO RETRANSFER on page 41), then the power  
flow will automatically transfer from the UPS’s bypass circuit back to the inverter circuit after removing  
the overload if set to do so (see auto-transfer setting on page 35).

Battery Backup Mode (On batteries)  
The following illustration shows power flow during the battery backup mode. When commercial AC power  
failures occur, the UpS’s batteries instantly begin supplying DC voltage to the UpS’s main inverter circuit.  
this circuit changes (inverts) the DC power into aC power. the aC power is available at the output of the  
unit.  
this back-up process will continue until the UpS’s battery voltage drops below a specific minimum level.  
when this occurs, the batteries will stop supplying power to the load. this minimum level is the rated  
minimum voltage (Vmin). the rated battery voltage chart on page 23 shows (Vmin). the battery backup  
time and discharge process is explained on page 23.  
POWER FLOW IN BATTERY BACKUP FOR ALL MODELS  
EPO (Emergency Power Off) Function  
these units are equipped with terminals for receiving an emergency power-off (epo) command via a  
closed-contact switch at a remote location (see terminal block Details on page 11 and terminal block  
location on page 37-38). this safety feature enables quick shut-down of the UpS’s aC output and battery  
circuits.  
Usually the emergency power off switch is installed in a central location that is easily accessible to  
personnel concerned with the operation of the UpS unit and the load equipment connected to it. the epo  
function is initiated by pressing the switch to the closed (shutdown) position.  
the effect of using the epo switch is the same whether the UpS unit is in aC input mode (see page 24),  
battery backup mode (see page 25), or the circuit bypass mode (see page 24). The following figure shows  
the UpS condition after application of the epo switch.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Functions  
the lCD screen is a 2-line by 16-character wide liquid crystal display. the lCD displays information about  
the operation of the UpS. it should be used in conjunction with the leD display (see page 28, 39-40) and  
the audible alarms (see page 26) for total system monitoring. the lCD screen displays information which  
may be shown only on specific lines of the display. This information is determined by the UPS operating  
mode and conditions. these messages are shown in the leD displays and lCD screens on pages 28  
through 41.

System Overview Screens  
the System overview screens provide a summary of the current operational state of the UpS. only one  
of the several possible overview screens is available at any moment. the current screen is automatically  
determined based upon the UpS state.  
UPS Start-Up Screens Sequence  
the Start-Up screens consist of a series of automatically sequencing System overview screens. these  
screens notify operator of steps taken by UpS during its initialization. the sequence of Start-Up screens  
begins when aC input power is detected at UpS input.  
if the correct aC input power is available and no abnormal operating conditions are present then the  
following system message will be displayed on the lCD screen.  
TOSHIBA 1600 UPS  
INITIALIZING...  
next, the lCD will report the current date and time. if necessary, the proper date and time can be set from  
the Data Settings screens (see pages 33 and 36 for details). the date and time appear using the format  
depicted in the following example:  
05/09/2007 (WED)  
15.:22:47  
next, the lCD will report the current UpS operational mode and the current percentage of the maximum  
UpS capacity being supplied. initially, the UpS is in bypass mode, and the following screen will appear:  
BYPASS OPERATION

only if the UpS is instructed to enter its online (normal) mode, will the UpS attempt transfer into such  
operation mode. to enter the normal mode, the RUN key is pressed or the AUTO RUN has been configured  
to YES (aUto rUn setup is described in the Data Screen Settings actions on pages 33 - 38. if either  
condition exists, the following screen will appear:  
UPS OPERATION  
LOAD ###%  
Shortly after transfer into the UpS online (normal) mode, the UpS will automatically begin a battery test if  
the setting is enabled (see page 35). this test ensures a healthy battery system is available should it be  
necessary to support the load. During the test, the lCD reports the current battery voltage as a percent  
of its expected value at full charge. This figure will drop throughout the test, as the battery voltage is  
intentionally lowered to test performance. the test lasts for about 10 seconds, during which the following  
screen appears:

Preventive Maintenance/Parts Replacement  
Preventive Maintenance  
toshiba 1600ep Series of uninterruptible power systems have been designed to provide years of trouble-  
free operation requiring a minimum of preventive maintenance.  
the best preventive measure that the UpS user can take is to keep the area around the unit, particularly  
the air inlet vents, clean and free of moisture and dust accumulations. if the atmosphere of the installation  
site is very dusty, use a vacuum cleaner to periodically remove dust accumulations around and from the  
unit.  
CAUTION  
Only a qualified Toshiba representative should be allowed to perform any  
routine maintenance or service on this equipment other than those preventive  
maintenance details which are described directly above this caution.  
Parts Replacement  
the following list shows recommended intervals for periodic replacement of certain UpS parts:  
1. aluminum electrolytic capacitors: replace once every 5 years.  
2. Fuses: replace once every 7 years.  
3. Cooling fan: when operated in an ambient temperature of 86 °F (30 °C) to 104 °F (40°  
C), replace every 3.5 years. when operated in an ambient temperature of less than 86 °F  
(30 °C) , replace every 5 years.  
4. batteries: in order to maintain system reliability, the UpS batteries should be replaced on a  
regular schedule. to ensure reliable operation, all of the batteries should be replaced at the  
same time. Use the following chart for replacement:

UpS leD should be oFF. the leDs are next to the maintenance bypass switch, on the back of the  
UpS.  
3. turn the mCCb input breaker on the UpS to the oFF position. the UpS is now operating in mainte-  
nance bypass mode.  
From maintenance bypass mode to inverter mode  
1. turn the mCCb input breaker on the UpS to the on position.  
2. turn the maintenance bypass switch to the UpS position. the UpS leD should be on and the by-  
pass leD oFF>  
3. turn the rUn/Stoop switch to the rUn position on the UpS. the UpS is now operating in the UpS  
mode.
