In a redundant system one UPS may be isolated for service/maintenance without affecting other parallel UPS(S).

2.Switch off the system to be isolated for maintenence by pushing the red OFF button.

3.Disconnect output and utility by setting output switches (Q002) to position 0 and input switch (Q001) to position 0. Disconnect battery by opening battery breaker.

4.If system has dual utility, set the bypass input switch (Q010) to position 0.

2.7.2Switching Back the UPS to Normal Parallel/Redundant Operation

Action

1.Set the input switch (Q001) and the output switch (Q002) to position 1.

2.If system has dual utility, set the bypass input switch (Q010) to position 1.

3.Charge capacitors, connect battery and start up the UPS as described in 2.4.1. Start UPS (from complete power down).
