Battery monitoring tests

■the battery is periodically checked every month. The message "17" on the diagnostics display 27 tells the user that the battery is in this operating mode;

■it is recommended to carry out a complete discharge test on the battery once a year in order to update the battery monitoring parameters. This test is activated by the "battery manual test" control. It calls for a minimum service charge. The message "18" on the diagnostics display 27 tells the user that the battery is in this operating mode.

In these operating modes, total battery failure is indicated by the alarm message "15" on the diagnostics display 27 .

overload (except for 5 kVA Comet S11 or S31)

■during a major temporary overload (greater than 1.5In):

■the load is supplied by AC input power via the "static bypass" 3 ,

■ return to the inverter 7 is automatic, following elimination of the overload;

■the inverter can handle a minor overload for a given duration depending on the size of the overload. See figure 21;

■when an overload occurs:

■the buzzer 17 sounds,

■the orange "fault" light 19 goes on,

■ the inverter 7 shuts down at the end of its corresponding overload time,

■the load is supplied by AC input power via the "static bypass" 3 ,

■the green "load protected" light 21 goes off,

■the red "load not protected" light 18 goes on.

If the overload continues during operation via the "static bypass" 3 , the supply of power to the load is interrupted after a specified time. See figure 22.

When Comet has shutdown due to an overload, the fault reset button must be pressed prior to return to normal operation.

The UPS is available in a range of capacities, from 5 kVA to 30 kVA, allowing for tailored solutions that fit specific power needs.

The Comet TM is equipped with advanced double conversion technology, which provides clean and reliable power, isolating the connected equipment from input voltage disturbances. This technology ensures that any fluctuations in the mains supply, such as voltage sags or surges, do not affect the operation of sensitive electronic devices. Additionally, this UPS features a wide input voltage range that contributes to improved efficiency and reduced energy consumption.

An impressive aspect of the Comet TM is its high-efficiency mode, which optimizes energy consumption while maintaining power quality. This mode reduces operating costs and contributes to lower carbon footprints, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Furthermore, the UPS incorporates intelligent battery management systems, which enhance battery performance and extend their lifespan. This is essential in minimizing downtime and ensuring that backup power is readily available when needed.

The user-friendly interface of the Comet TM allows for easy monitoring and management of the system. With graphical displays and comprehensive alarms, users can promptly identify potential issues and take corrective actions. Remote management capabilities are also built into the system, enabling users to monitor and control the UPS remotely, which is particularly beneficial for businesses that operate across multiple locations.

In summary, the MGE UPS Systems Comet TM 5 - 30 kVA is designed for organizations that need reliable power protection and high efficiency. With its modular scalability, advanced double conversion technology, high-efficiency mode, intelligent battery management, and user-friendly interface, the Comet TM series stands out as a robust solution for critical power applications. Its combination of features ensures that businesses can maintain uninterrupted operations while benefiting from cost savings and a reduced environmental impact.
