stabilizes the load voltage. As a result, voltage fluctuations in the public utility's mains are reduced to a level which is acceptable for the loads. This is performed without recourse to the internal energy storage, something which in turn has a positive effect on battery availability.
Safety General Safety Instructions Read these operating instructions carefully prior commissioning of the PROTECT B. UPS and observe the safety instructions! Only use the unit if it is in a technically perfect condition and always in accordance with its intended purpose, while being aware of safety and danger aspects, and in accordance with the operating instructions! Immediately eliminate any faults which could be detrimental to safety.

PROTECT B. 3000 Connect the supplied battery module cable from extended battery module to the external battery port of the rear of UPS. If continuing to add up extended battery module, repeat above steps. Emergency Power Off (EPO) set up PROTECT B.
Activate the external EPO switch to test the EPO function De-activate the external EPO switch and restart the UPS. Electric start-up First compare the setting with the rated voltage valid in your country. The factory default setting is 230 V Make any changes in accordance with the description in chapter 5.4.2 “Configuration”.
operating stag has been reached (pos. 7 p. 3). In case anything different occurs, please follow the instructions in Chapters 6.2 / 6.3. Please shut down the entire system if you cannot solve any problems which occur. Please contact our hotline (see page 4). When the LINE MODE display is lit, switch on your loads one after the other.
6. After selecting the mode, press the confirmation button more than three seconds to complete the configuation. Operation Once you have connected the UPS to a suitable mains connection, you can start operation using the UPS main switch. On and Off switch ♦...
If the UPS does not automatically return to normal operation after a few minutes, close all jobs as usual and switch off your loads (e.g. PC) before the battery is fully discharged. This lengthens the service life of the battery! Switch OFF the UPS by pressing the main switch During the discharge process as the battery capacity consistently drops, the LED BAT.MODE flashes, accompanied...
Also avoid short-term unit overloads, which may, for example, occur when connecting a laser printer or laser fax machine. Do not connect any household appliances to the UPS. Never connect any additional loads to the UPS if there is a mains failure, i.e. if the UPS is working in emergency power operation.
Executing the Test: ♦ To execute the manual check press the button about five seconds until the UPS acoustic signal fades out. ♦ Additionally the button has the function to deactivate the acoustic alarm signal. Press the button when the acoustic alarm it audible for about 1 second. The tone stops.
The protocol is optimized for operation with the shutdown and UPS management software “CompuWatch” from AEG.
