To access the connection terminal blocks, see section 1.2.

1 - The earthing conductors must be connected to the earthing plate of each UPS. 2 - Connect the four conductors of the Bypass AC source to terminal block (15) in each UPS unit.

3 - Connect the three phases of the Normal AC input (16) with the three phases of the Bypass AC input (15) in each UPS unit.

4 - Connect the four conductors of the supplied loads to terminal block (14) in UPS1. 5 - Connect terminal block (14) in UPS2 to terminal block (14) in UPS1 using the four load conductors.

6 - Tie the cables down to the cabinet frames. 7 - Put the covers back in place (see section 1.2).

1 - The earthing conductors must be connected to the earthing plate of each UPS. 2 - Connect the three phases of the Normal AC source to terminal block (16) in each UPS unit.

3 - Connect the four conductors of the Bypass AC source to terminal block (15) in each UPS unit.

4 - Connect the four conductors of the supplied loads to terminal block (14) in UPS1. 5 - Connect terminal block (14) in UPS2 to terminal block (14) in UPS1 using the four load conductors.

6 - Tie the cables down to the cabinet frames. 7 - Put the covers back in place (see section 1.2).

Caution. If the two UPSs are placed side by side, connect as indicated above. In the other configurations, always make sure that the cables between the UPSs and Bypass AC source have the same cross-section and the same length. The same is true for the cables between the UPSs and the load.
