1.3 Safety Notes  
WARNING: Read the following information carefully! Disregard of these safety notes may endanger  
your life and health as well as the functioning of your equipment and the safety of your data.  
WARNING: This equipment services power from more than one source. The output receptacles may  
have voltage even when the unit is unplugged.  
UPSs present a different safety issue than most electrical equipment because unplugging the UPS puts it into backup mode.  
Unplugging the UPS does not remove the electrical charge. To ensure that the UPS is off, push BYPASS (for a minimum of  
1 second) before unplugging the UPS from the mains.  
CAUTION: Operating this equipment without proper grounding may present a risk of electrical shock.  
Do not use AC adaptors with only two conductors to connect the input line cord to the wall socket as this will not connect  
the earth ground to the equipment.  
WARNING: Dangerous voltages are present within this unit! There are no user-serviceable parts  
inside. Any repairs or modifications by the user may result in out-of-warranty repair charges, unsafe  
electrical conditions, or violation of electrical code.  
This device complies with the relevant safety regulations for uninterruptible power supplies for use in a  
controlled office environment. If you have any questions, please contact Chloride Technical Service at

(see chapter 2, “Display and Operation Elements (Active)” on page 3) does not isolate  
the device (UPS) from the mains. To isolate completely from the mains, the main switch must be  
switched off and the power plug disconnected.  
CAUTION: Removing mains power may not remove power from the device (UPS) output. See instructions above to  
properly remove power from output.  
• In case of interruption of the mains voltage, the integrated battery maintains the power supply to the  
connected equipment.  
• Lay all cables so that nobody can stand on them or trip over them. When connecting the device to the  
power supply, follow the instructions in the chapter on “Active Installation and Commissioning” on  
page 11.  
• No data transmission lines should be connected or disconnected during a thunderstorm.  
• Make sure that no objects (e.g. pins, necklaces, paper clips, etc.) get inside the device.  
• In emergencies (e.g. damaged case, controls or power cables, penetration of liquids or foreign matter)  
put the device into BYPASS, disconnect the power plug and contact Chloride Technical Services at  
1-800-879-5011.  
• Do not connect equipment that will overload the UPS (e.g. laser printers or vacuum cleaners) or  
demand DC-current (e.g. half-wave rectifiers or hair dryers).  
• When cleaning the unit, follow the instructions in chapter 7, “Maintenance (Active)” on page 19.  
• The sum of the leakage currents (protective conductor current) of the UPS and the connected devices  
must not exceed 3.5 mA for the types Active 700, 1000, 2000 and 3000.

Chapter 2 Display and Operation Elements (Active)  
The Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) is connected between AC power and the load. It protects the load  
against mains disturbances, especially power failures.  
Its operation is based on the on-line principle. The connected load is supplied power through the UPS’s  
inverter. Power disturbances from the mains are suppressed which increases the loads’ operational security  
(PC, network server, multi-user systems etc.)  
In the event of a mains failure, maintenance-free batteries provide an uninterrupted supply of energy. In  
practice, mains failures are of relatively short duration, dependent on the mains quality. Therefore, the UPS’  
energy is in most cases sufficient to ensure continuous operation of the connected systems, until the mains  
is reestablished. In the event of a longer lasting mains failure it allows for controlled shutdown of connected  
systems.  
The UPS indicates by acoustical (buzzer) and optical (LED) alarms that a mains failure has occurred and is  
still persistent. Battery runtimes vary depending upon load, number of batteries and environmental  
conditions.  
The following chart shows the approximate values of the emergency runtime (assuming fully charged  
battery at the onset of the mains failure.)

• The actual battery capacity can be read from the LED-”battery” chain (see table below).

75 - 95%  
95 - 100%  
The most reliable method for determining actual battery runtime is the application of Chloride MopUPS®  
software. With this software, the prospective remaining battery capacity is indicated before and during an  
AC power failure. Furthermore, shutdown procedures can be automated. Depending on the application  
program, operating system and computer hardware, it can be ensured that in the event of a power failure the  
application programs are automatically closed, the subscribers logged in at the server are logged out, the  
data is stored and the operating systems are shut down. For further information please refer to our  
publication about the Chloride ManageUPS™NET SNMP Adapter.  
After return of the mains voltage, the UPS automatically initiates a restart. The connected systems are  
restarted according to their specifications.  
In the event of overload or internal failure, the load is supplied from the mains via an automatic bypass. As  
soon as the normal status is reestablished, automatic switchover to inverter operation is performed.  
This operation manual contains all relevant information to install and operate the UPS.

Chapter 5 Operational Characteristics (Active)  
5.1 Ready for Operation Check  
To check the emergency supply feature of the UPS, it must be disconnected from the mains.  
When correctly functioning with charged batteries, an acoustical signal in intervals of 4 seconds will be  
heard. The LED “LINE” (line voltage) indicator disappears. When the interval between the acoustical  
signals is reduced to 1 second, the UPS will supply energy for a maximum of 3 more minutes before it is  
automatically switched off.  
The load will be supplied from the batteries during the specified emergency supply period. If this is not so,  
then please check in chapter 8 “Troubleshooting (Active)” on page 20.  
Reconnect the UPS with the mains.  
The UPS is now again ready for normal operation. Please note, that the batteries have to be recharged before  
the complete emergency supply period is again available.  
5.2 Self Test  
The self test is a LED test.  
With the UPS connected to the AC power, switch | has to be operated for at least 1 second.  
• Acknowledgment of the input is given by a single acoustical signal.  
• The elements of the LED “BATTERY” chain are illuminated according to the battery’s load status. The  
“LINE” and “BYPASS” indicators are illuminated.  
• Initially all elements of the LED “LOAD” chain are illuminated. Beginning with the top indicator, all  
elements of this chain will extinguish one after the other. Thereafter the elements are on according to the  
UPS load status.  
• The “BYPASS” indicator turns off after approximately 5 seconds and the “Inverter” indicator  
illuminates. The load is supplied through the inverter, the energy is taken from the mains.

Chapter 6 Description of the Interface (Active)  
The Active UPS has a standard interface COM A and an optional interface COM B. Protocol data transfer  
signal exchange is through COM A RS232 interface or the optional interface (COM B).  
These interfaces can be used for:  
• Direct communication between UPS and a computer.  
• Integration of the UPS as client into a network with centralized monitoring.  
• Transfer of operational states to external alarm systems.  
The necessary communication software packages and interface cables are available as accessories.  
6.1 Standard Interface COM A  
The 9-pin SUB-D connector (pin contacts) contains the RS 232 signals, 5 output signals and 1 input signal.  
The RS232 signal RXD can also be used as input signal, when the sequential interface is not used.  
The 5 alarm outputs are open-collector outputs.  
Fig. 17: COM A signal Definition and Connection  
The interface COM A is galvanically separated from all other circuits.

Pin Number  
Condition  
SGN at pin 5  
This connection point serves as a reference for all signals.  
In conforms standard RS232 configuration.  
RXD at pin 2 and TXD at pin 3  
This input (pin 2: High signal +5V...+12V, tŠ 1 second, pin 5: 0V)  
enables the control processor to switch off the UPS in the event of a  
mains failure. After the mains has been reestablished, the UPS  
starts again independent of this signal status.  
INV SHUTDOWN at pin 2  
BATTERY LOW at pin 1  
This output goes low, when the battery can supply current for  
approximately 3 more minutes at nominal load.  
Pin 9 goes low and pin 6 goes high for mains voltage failure at the  
UPS input for a minimum of 10 seconds or when the mains voltage  
moves beyond the tolerance band. The signal is reset 850 ms after  
the mains have been reestablished.  
AC FAIL at pin 9 and  
AC FAIL at pin 6  
This signal goes low after switching over to bypass, blocking the  
inverter and the energy being supplied by the mains  
BYPASS ACTIVE at pin 7  
SUM ALARM at pin 8  
This output is low, when one of the alarms “BATTERY LOW”, “AC  
FAIL” or “BYPASS ACTIVE” is given.  
6.2 Optional Interface COM B  
The optional interface COM can be equipped with various interface cards. The designation beside the plug  
then depends on the type of interface card.  
In Figure 18, the function of the interface signals for version COM B is described. The optional interface  
COM B provides potential-free signalling contacts and a shutdown input and an insulated auxiliary supply.

INV SHUTDOWN  
This input (pin 3) is enabled with a high signal (+5 V to +12 V with respect to pin 4 (0 V)) and when enabled,  
switches off the UPS after a mains failure has occurred. After the mains has been reestablished, the UPS  
starts again independent of this signal status. This input must be high for one (1) second before shut off will  
occur.  
AC FAIL  
This output provides an N/O (Normally Open) contact between pins 9 and 5, and an N/C (Normally Closed)  
contact between pins 8 and 5. the 9-5 contact closes when the mains voltage fails at the UPS input or when  
the mains voltage falls below the lower limit for a minimum of 10 seconds. This contact opens  
approximately 850 ms after the mains have been reestablished. The 8-5 contact provides a mirror function,  
opening when the mains voltage fails and closing when mains power returns.  
LOW BATT  
This output provides a N/O contact between pins 6 and 5 and an N/C contact between pins 7 and 5. The 6-  
5 contact closes when the battery has been depleted to the point that it can only supply current for  
approximately three (3) more minutes at nominal load. The 7-5 contact provides a mirror function opening  
when the battery is low.  
BYPASS ACTIVE  
This output provides an N/O contact between pins 1 and 5. The 1-5 contact closes after switching to the  
bypass mode. In the bypass mode, energy to the output of the UPS is being supplied by the mains power and  
not through the inverter.  
SUM ALARM  
This output provides an N/O contact between pins 2 and 5. The 2-5 contact closes when one of the alarms  
“AC FAIL,” “LOW BATT” or “BYPASS ACTIVE” is active or when the indication “ALARM” at the front-  
panel is on.

11.3 Safety Notes  
WARNING: Read the following information carefully! Disregard of these safety notes may endanger  
your life and health as well as the functioning of your equipment and the safety of your data.  
WARNING: This equipment services power from more than one source. The output receptacles may  
have voltage even when the unit is unplugged.  
UPSs present a different safety issue than most electrical equipment because unplugging the UPS puts it into backup mode.  
Unplugging the UPS does not remove the electrical charge. To ensure that the UPS is off, push BYPASS (for a minimum of  
1 second) before unplugging the UPS from the mains.  
CAUTION: Operating this equipment without proper grounding may present a risk of electrical shock.  
Do not use AC adaptors with only two conductors to connect the input line cord to the wall socket as this will not connect  
the earth ground to the equipment.  
WARNING: Dangerous voltages are present within this unit! There are no user-serviceable parts  
inside. Any repairs or modifications by the user may result in out-of-warranty repair charges, unsafe  
electrical conditions, or violation of electrical code.

Chapter 12 Display and Operation Elements (E-Series)  
The Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) is connected between AC power and the load. It protects the load  
against mains disturbances, especially power failures.  
Its operation is based on the on-line principle. The connected load is supplied power through the UPS’s  
inverter. Power disturbances from the mains are suppressed which increases the loads’ operational security  
(PC, network server, multi-user systems etc.)  
In the event of a mains failure, maintenance-free batteries provide an uninterrupted supply of energy. In  
practice, mains failures are of relatively short duration, dependent on the mains quality. Therefore, the UPS’  
energy is in most cases sufficient to ensure continuous operation of the connected systems, until the mains  
is reestablished. In the event of a longer lasting mains failure it allows for controlled shutdown of connected  
systems.  
The UPS indicates by acoustical (buzzer) and optical (LED) alarms that a mains failure has occurred and is  
still persistent. Battery runtimes vary depending upon load, number of batteries and environmental  
conditions.  
The following chart shows the approximate values of the emergency runtime (assuming fully charged  
battery at the onset of the mains failure.)

The most reliable method for determining actual battery runtime is the application of Chloride MopUPS®  
software. With this software, the prospective remaining battery capacity is indicated before and during an  
AC power failure. Furthermore, shutdown procedures can be automated. Depending on the application  
program, operating system and computer hardware, it can be ensured that in the event of a power failure the  
application programs are automatically closed, the subscribers logged in at the server are logged out, the  
data is stored and the operating systems are shut down. For further information please refer to our  
publication about the Chloride ManageUPS™NET SNMP Adapter.  
After return of the mains voltage, the UPS automatically initiates a restart. The connected systems are  
restarted according to their specifications.  
In the event of overload or internal failure, the load is supplied from the mains via an automatic bypass. As  
soon as the normal status is reestablished, automatic switchover to inverter operation is performed.

14.1 Ready for Operation Check  
To check the emergency supply feature of the UPS, it must be disconnected from the mains.  
When correctly functioning with charged batteries, an acoustical signal in intervals of 4 seconds will be  
heard. The LED “LINE” (line voltage) indicator disappears. When the interval between the acoustical  
signals is reduced to 1 second, the UPS will supply energy for a maximum of 3 more minutes before it is  
automatically switched off.  
The load will be supplied from the batteries during the specified emergency supply period. If this is not so,  
then please check in chapter 17 “Troubleshooting (E-Series)” on page 48.  
Reconnect the UPS with the mains.  
The UPS is now again ready for normal operation. Please note, that the batteries have to be recharged before  
the complete emergency supply period is again available.  
14.2 Self Test  
The self test is a LED test.  
With the UPS connected to the AC power, switch | has to be operated for at least 1 second.  
• Acknowledgment of the input is given by a single acoustical signal.  
• The elements of the LED “BATTERY” chain are illuminated according to the battery’s load status. The  
“LINE” and “BYPASS” indicators are illuminated.  
• Initially all elements of the LED “LOAD” chain are illuminated. Beginning with the top indicator, all  
elements of this chain will extinguish one after the other. Thereafter the elements are on according to the

These interfaces can be used for:  
• Direct communication between UPS and a computer.  
• Integration of the UPS as client into a network with centralized monitoring.  
• Transfer of operational states to external alarm systems.  
The necessary communication software packages and interface cables are available as accessories.  
15.1 Standard Interface COM A  
The 9-pin SUB-D connector (pin contacts) contains the RS 232 signals, 5 output signals and 1 input signal.  
The RS232 signal RXD can also be used as input signal, when the sequential interface is not used.  
The 5 alarm outputs are open-collector outputs.  
Fig. 33: COM A signal Definition and Connection  
The interface COM A is galvanically separated from all other circuits.

Table 10. Interface COM A  
Pin Number  
Condition  
SGN at pin 5  
This connection point serves as a reference for all signals.  
In conforms standard RS232 configuration.  
RXD at pin 2 and TXD at pin 3  
This input (pin 2: High signal +5V...+12V, > 1 second, pin 5: 0V)  
enables the control processor to switch off the UPS in the event of a  
mains failure. After the mains has been reestablished, the UPS  
starts again independent of this signal status.  
INV SHUTDOWN at pin 2  
BATTERY LOW at pin 1  
This output goes low, when the battery can supply current for  
approximately 3 more minutes at nominal load.  
Pin 9 goes low and pin 6 goes high for mains voltage failure at the  
UPS input for a minimum of 10 seconds or when the mains voltage  
moves beyond the tolerance band. The signal is reset 850 ms after  
the mains have been reestablished.  
AC FAIL at pin 9 and  
AC FAIL at pin 6  
This signal goes low after switching over to bypass, blocking the  
inverter and the energy being supplied by the mains  
BYPASS ACTIVE at pin 7  
SUM ALARM at pin 8  
This output is low, when one of the alarms “BATTERY LOW”, “AC  
FAIL” or “BYPASS ACTIVE” is given.  
15.2 Optional Interface COM B  
The optional interface COM can be equipped with various interface cards. The designation beside the plug  
then depends on the type of interface card.  
In the following the function of the interface signals for version COM B is described. The optional interface  
COM B provides potential-free signalling contacts and a shutdown input and an insulated auxiliary supply.

Troubleshooting Optional Interface COM  
INV SHUTDOWN  
This input (pin 3) is enabled with a high signal (+5 V to +12 V with respect to pin 4 (0 V)) and when enabled,  
switches off the UPS after a mains failure has occurred. After the mains has been reestablished, the UPS  
starts again independent of this signal status. This input must be high for one (1) second before shut off will  
occur.  
AC FAIL  
This output provides an N/O (Normally Open) contact between pins 9 and 5, and an N/C (Normally Closed)  
contact between pins 8 and 5. the 9-5 contact closes when the mains voltage fails at the UPS input or when  
the mains voltage falls below the lower limit for a minimum of 10 seconds. This contact opens  
approximately 850 ms after the mains have been reestablished. The 8-5 contact provides a mirror function,  
opening when the mains voltage fails and closing when mains power returns.  
LOW BATT  
This output provides a N/O contact between pins 6 and 5 and an N/C contact between pins 7 and 5. The 6-  
5 contact closes when the battery has been depleted to the point that it can only supply current for  
approximately three (3) more minutes at nominal load. The 7-5 contact provides a mirror function opening  
when the battery is low.  
BYPASS ACTIVE  
This output provides an N/O contact between pins 1 and 5. The 1-5 contact closes after switching to the  
bypass mode. In the bypass mode, energy to the output of the UPS is being supplied by the mains power and  
not through the inverter.  
SUM ALARM  
This output provides an N/O contact between pins 2 and 5. The 2-5 contact closes when one of the alarms  
“AC FAIL,” “LOW BATT” or “BYPASS ACTIVE” is active or when the indication “ALARM” at the front-  
panel is on.  
15.3 Emergency Power Off (EPO)  
(E-Series Models E153X and E203X only)  
The external connection to the EPO circuit is located next to the 9-pin SUB-D (interface com A) connector  
in the upper right of the back of the unit. If the circuit between the two EPO connector pins is “opened,” the  
output of the UPS is immediately switched off. To restart the UPS, the procedures outlined in section 13.3  
on page 37 must be followed. The EPO circuit may be extended by connecting normally closed switches in  
series between the EPO connector pins. Activating (opening) any of the series switches will cause the UPS  
to shut off its output.

Chapter 16 Maintenance (E-Series)  
The UPS does not require maintenance by the user. When the battery expires, the UPS or the battery must  
be replaced by qualified electrical personnel.  
The typical battery’s lifetime is 4 years at an ambient temperature of 25 °C. This may vary greatly depending  
upon load conditions, number of outages, and environmental factors.  
NOTE: Check periodically (6 to 12 months), to see whether the emergency supply time of the UPS is still  
sufficient for its application (See “Ready for Operation Check” on page 41.).  
16.1 Storage  
For extended storage in moderate climates, the batteries should be charged for 8 hours every three months.  
Repeat it every two months in high temperature locations.  
1. Install the hard-wire connections according to chapter 13 “E-Series Installation and Commissioning”  
on page 33 at an appropriate source. Switch on the input circuit breaker at the rear of the device for hard-  
wired connection.  
2. Switch off the input circuit breaker of the UPS. Then remove the connections of the UPS in an inverted  
sequence to what is described in chapter 13 “E-Series Installation and Commissioning” on page 33.  
3. Note the date of charging on the packing.  
NOTE: Make sure all circuit breakers are turned off.  
16.2 Cleaning  
NOTE: E-Series E61, E101 and E203: Press the  
switch on the front panel, switch off the input circuit  
breaker, isolate the source and secure it against reclosing.  
Do not use scouring powder or plastic-dissolving solutions to clean the UPS.  
Do not allow liquid to get inside the UPS.  
Make sure that the air vents on the UPS are not obstructed.  
Clean the outside of the UPS housing by wiping with a dry or a slightly damp cloth.
