2.1
Important Safety Instructions
Read these operating instructions carefully prior to
commissioning of the PROTECT A. UPS and observe the
safety instructions!
Only use the unit if it is in a technically perfect condition and
always in accordance with its intended purpose, while being
aware of safety and danger aspects, and in accordance with
the operating instructions! Immediately eliminate any faults
which could be detrimental to safety.
The following pictograms are used in these operating
instructions to identify dangers and important information:
Danger!
Identifies risk of fatal injury to the operator.
Warning!
Identifies risk of injury and risk of damage to the
unit and parts of the unit.

Safety Instructions for PROTECT A.
This chapter contains important instructions for the PROTECT
A. UPS. These must be followed during assembly, operation
and maintenance of the uninterruptible power supply and the
batteries.
The UPS carries high voltage. Danger! The unit
may only be opened by trained and qualified
personnel. Repairs may only be carried out by
qualified customer service staff!

The output may be live, even if the UPS is not
connected to the mains supply, as the UPS has
its own internal power supply (battery)!
For health and safety reasons, the unit must be
earthed correctly!
PROTECT A. may only be operated with or connected to
a 230 VAC mains with protective grounding using a mains
connection cable with PE conductor (included in the delivery)
that has been tested in accordance with German
standards (VDE).
Danger! Risk of burning!
The battery has powerful short-circuit currents.
Incorrect connection or isolation faults can lead to
melting of the plug connections, sparking potential
and severe burns!
The unit has a warning signal that sounds when
the battery voltage of PROTECT A. is exhausted
or when the UPS is not working in its normal
mode.
Observe the following safety instructions to
ensure permanent operational safety of and
safe work with the UPS:
♦ Do not dismantle the UPS!
(The UPS does not contain any parts which require
regular maintenance. Bear in mind that the warranty
will be invalidated if the unit is opened!)
♦ Do not install the unit in direct sunshine or in close
proximity of heaters!
♦ The unit is designed to be installed inside in heated
rooms. Never install the UPS in the vicinity of water or
in an excessively damp environment!
♦ Condensation may occur if the UPS is brought from a
cold environment into the room where it is to be
installed. The UPS must be absolutely dry prior to start-
up. As a result, leave it to acclimatise for at least two
hours.
6

♦ Never connect the mains input to the UPS output!
♦ Ensure that no fluids or foreign bodies can penetrate
the UPS!
♦ Do not block the side air vents of the unit! Keep
children away from the unit and ensure that objects are
never inserted through the vents!
♦ Do not connect household appliances such as
hairdryers to the UPS!
♦ The mains connection should be near the unit and
easily accessible to facilitate disconnecting the AC
input or pulling out the plug!
♦ During operation, do not disconnect the mains
connection cable from the UPS or from the socket
outlet in the building (shockproof socket), otherwise the
protective grounding of the UPS and all the loads
connected to it will be cancelled.
Danger! Electric shocks!
Even after the mains voltage has been
disconnected, the components within the UPS
remain connected to the battery and can thus
cause electric shocks. It is therefore imperative
to disconnect the battery circuit before carrying
out any maintenance or repair work!
If it is necessary to replace the battery or carry
out maintenance work, this must be done by or
under the supervision of a person familiar with
batteries and the necessary safety precautions!
Only authorised persons are allowed in the
vicinity of the batteries!
When replacing the battery/batteries, the following must be
observed: Only ever use identical maintenance-free sealed
lead batteries with the same data as the original
battery/batteries.
Danger! Explosive!
Never throw batteries into open fire. Never open
or damage batteries. Electrolyte may leak out
and damage skin and eyes. It may be toxic!

Batteries can cause electric shocks and high
short-circuit currents.
Therefore, take the following safety precautions when working
with batteries:
♦ Take off watches, rings and other metallic objects!
♦ Always use tools with insulated handles!
For personal safety reasons, never switch on the
main switch when the mains connector of
PROTECT A. is disconnected!

System Description
PROTECT A. is an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) for essential loads such as personal
computers (PCs) or telecommunication equipment
and similar devices. It consists of:
i
♦ Mains filter in the mains input incl. mains energy
backfeed protection
♦ A.V.R. control system
(automatic voltage regulation with mains operation)
♦ Battery charger for charging the battery
♦ Battery as energy storage medium for bridging mains
failures (for supplying the inverter)
♦ Inverter for the supply of connected loads with AC
voltage during mains failures
♦ Static bypass switch for switching over the loads to the
inverter in the case of a mains failure
UPS Block diagram PROTECT A.
The UPS is connected to a shockproof socket between the
public utility's mains and the loads to be protected.
Under normal operating conditions, i.e. if PROTECT A. is supplied
with mains voltage, the battery charger will ensure that the battery
is always completely charged. During this operating status, the
loads connected to PROTECT A. are supplied with voltage via

double mains filters which provide effective protection against
mains voltage peaks and high-frequency faults.
In case of sustained mains undervoltage or overvoltage within
defined ranges, the automatic voltage regulator (A.V.R.)
further stabilises the load voltage. As a result, voltage
fluctuations in the public utility's mains are reduced to a level
which is acceptable for the loads. This is performed without
recourse to the internal energy storage, something which in
turn has a positive effect on battery availability.
The static bypass switch is activated in the event of a mains
failure. The inverter then takes over the voltage supply of the
connected loads, in order to prevent the risk of data loss or
damage to the loads. PROTECT A. supplies voltage until the
battery is discharged, allowing you to shut down your IT
system properly and switch it off. The standby time mainly
depends on the connected loads. If the mains power supply is
back to normal values, the UPS will switch back the loads to
mains supply. The battery charger will then recharge the
battery.
For safety reasons (as required by German standards, VDE),
the mains input in the unit will be disconnected by a two-pole
switch in the event of a mains failure. Energy backfeed to the
mains and voltage supply to the pins of the mains connector
are thus reliably avoided.

Set-Up and Operation
Installing the UPS is as easy as following the steps shown.
4.1
Inspection
Remove the UPS from its packaging and inspect it for
damage that may have occurred during shipping. If any
damage is discovered, repack the unit and return it to the
place of purchase.
4.2
Placement
Install the UPS unit in any protected environment that
provides adequate airflow around the unit which is free
from excessive dust, corrosive fumes and conductive
contaminants.
Do not operate your UPS in an environment where the
ambient temperature or humidity is high. Also, place the UPS
at least 20 cm away from the monitor to avoid interference.

4.3
Charging
This unit is shipped from the factory with its internal battery
fully charged, however, some power may be lost during
shipping and the battery should be recharged prior to use.
Plug the unit into an appropriate power supply and allow the
UPS to charge fully by leaving it plugged in for at least 4
hours with no load (no electrical devices such as computers,
monitors, etc.).
