2.2.2
Bi-Directional Converter
2.2.2.1 General
The Bi-Directional Converter incorporates solid-state devices and control circuitry to
convert AC power to regulated DC power for battery charging; and convert DC power
from the battery to regulated and conditioned stepped-sinewave AC power for supporting
the critical load. The Bi-Directional Converter is a pulse width modulated (PWM)
design. The Bi-Directional Converter operates in the following modes:
1.
In Normal mode of operation, the Bi-Directional Converter maintains the
battery system at a float charge.
2.
In Battery mode of operation, the Bi-Directional Converter converts DC power
from the battery to regulated and conditioned stepped-sinewave AC power for
supporting the critical load.
3.
In the recharge mode of operation, the Bi-Directional Converter converts AC
power to regulated DC power to recharge the battery.
2.2.2.2 Battery Recharge
The UPS contains a battery recharge rate designed to prolong battery life. The battery is
constant voltage charged to recharge and maintain the battery in a fully charged state.
Recharge time is 6 hours maximum to 90% rated capacity after discharge into full
resistive load.
2.2.2.3 Bi-Directional Converter DC Protection
The following DC shutdown levels protect the UPS:
DC Overvoltage Shutdown
DC Undervoltage Shutdown (End of Discharge)
DC Undervoltage Warning (Low Battery Reserve)
2.2.2.4 Output Protection
For output faults including short circuits and overloads, the UPS is protected by the input
circuit protector during Normal mode and by electronic current limiting during Battery
mode.
2.2.2.5 Overload
The UPS is capable of supplying power for overloads exceeding 100% and up to 110%
of full load rating, continuously. A visual indicator and audible alarm indicate overload
operation. For greater current demands, the UPS employs circuit protector and electronic
current-limiting protection to prevent damage to components. The UPS is self-protecting
against any magnitude of connected output overload. The UPS control logic senses and
disconnects the UPS from the critical AC load and clears the protective circuit breaker
during Normal mode.
2.2.2.6 Output Frequency
An oscillator controls the output frequency of the UPS. The oscillator maintains the
output frequency to + 0.5 Hz of nominal when not synchronized to the utility/mains
source.
2.2.2.7 Battery Over-Discharge Protection
To prevent battery damage due to excessive discharge levels, the UPS control logic
automatically monitors the battery voltage and load level and switches off the output at
the predetermined battery shutdown voltage set point.

Display and Controls
2.2.3.1 General
The UPS is provided with a microprocessor-based unit status and control display
designed for convenient and reliable user operation. The status and alarm indicators are
displayed on a status indicator display.
2.2.3.2 System Indicators
There are three (3) status indicators on the front of the UPS (Utility, Battery and Fault)
and one (1) on the rear (Site Wiring Fault):
The Utility Indicator illuminates when the UPS is operating and supplying
power to connected loads: green indicates Normal mode, amber denotes
Buck/Boost mode.
The Battery Indicator illuminates to indicate the UPS is operating on battery
(green) or to signify a battery warning (amber).
The Fault Indicator illuminates when the UPS detects a problem: red for an
internal UPS fault, green for overload and over-temperature conditions.
The Site Wiring Fault Indicator on the rear panel illuminates red when the UPS
detects a line-neutral reversal or a poor neutral-ground bond.
2.2.3.3 On/Off Controls
UPS start-up and shutdown operations are accomplished by the "On/Off/Alarm Silence"
push button located on the front panel of the UPS. Depressing the button for more than
0.5 sec will start-up the UPS and to turn the UPS off the button will need to be depressed
for more than 2 sec
2.2.3.4 On-Line Battery Test
The UPS is provided with an automatic biweekly battery test feature. The test ensures
the capability of the battery to supply power to the inverter while loaded. If the battery
fails the test, the UPS will display a warning to indicate the batteries need replaced. The
battery test feature is user accessible via Multilink.
2.2.4
2.2.5
Internal Battery
Valve regulated, non-spillable, lead-acid cells are used as a stored-energy source for the specified
UPS system. The battery is housed internal to the UPS cabinet, and sized to support the inverter at
rated load and power factor, with ambient temperature of 77 F (25 C) for a minimum of 5
minutes reserve time. The expected life of the battery is 3 - 5 years or 250 complete discharge
cycles.

2.2.6
Communications
The UPS has a DB-9 (9 pin female) connector on the rear to allow UPS status communications
with a computer system running MultiLink™ software. The DB-9 is capable of supplying serial
communication, on battery and low battery signals. MultiLink, Liebert’s UPS monitoring and
shutdown software, is shipped with the UPS, along with a 10-ft. (3m) DB-9 cable required for
running MultiLink.
The UPS can signal “on battery” and “low battery” using opto-couplers. When the UPS is
operating in Battery mode, it can receive a signal from the host computer system that will shut
down the UPS (after gracefully shutting down the operating system on the host computer system)
when the remaining battery run time is low. The timing of the signal depends on MultiLink’s
configuration settings. This shutdown signal (5-12VDC) must have a duration of at least 1.5
seconds for the UPS to be shut down. The UPS communicates via serial communications using
Liebert ESP II protocol.
The PowerSure PSA has a USB interface port for communication that will work with the built-in
Microsoft Power Manager software on the user’s PC, if the PC is so equipped. It will provide UPS
status and manages the automatic orderly shutdown of the computer. The UPS (USB)
communications meets HID standard, version 1.11. All USB models are compatible with
Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP and Mac OS 10.2 or later. All USB models ship with a 6-
ft. (1.8m) USB cable.
