3 - Set the battery circuit breaker QF1 (13) in each UPS unit to the OFF position (or trip the battery circuit breakers in the auxiliary cabinets if applicable).

4 - Set the input switch Q1 (8) in each UPS unit to the OFF position.

The charger no longer operates to keep the batteries fully charged.

5 - Open the upstream circuit-breakers of Normal AC source and Bypass AC source to completely power off the installation.

3.4 Restarting a parallel configuration

Check that switches Q4S (9) and Q5N (11) are closed. If this is the case, continue with this procedure, otherwise refer to paragraph 4.4 "Return to the Normal position, Parallel UPS...".

2 - Check that the output switch Q5N in the external bypass cabinet is closed.

3 - Check that the bypass switch Q3BP in the external bypass cabinet is open.

Then carry out steps 4 to 6 below on all the UPS units.

4 - Set the Normal AC source input switch Q1 (8) to the ON position.

5 - Wait until the end of the start sequence.

6 - Set the battery circuit breaker QF1 (13) (or the battery circuit breakers in the auxiliary cabinets) to the ON position.

The UPS units start automatically. On each unit, LEDs (32) and (33) go OFF and LED (31) goes ON.

The load is protected by the UPSs.

If LED (31) remains OFF, press the ON button (37) on each UPS unit (the UPS is in manual start mode) and confirm if necessary by pressing the function key (35) marked©.

If LED (31) still remains OFF and either of LEDs (32) or (33) is ON, a fault has occurred (see section 4.1).
