Under continuous mains undervoltage or overvoltage within defined ranges, the automatic voltage regulation (AVR) provides additional stabilisation of the electrical load voltage. Voltage fluctuations of the public mains are thus damped to a level acceptable for the electrical loads. This occurs without accessing the internal power reserves, which in turn has a positive effect on battery availability.

Safety Regulations General safety precautions Read these operating instructions before commissioning the USV Protect B. PRO for the first time and comply with the safety precautions! The device may only be used in technically fault-free condition, as intended and in a safety-conscious manner in compliance with operating instructions!
Page 17
The output can be energised even if the UPS is not connected to the mains supply, as the UPS has its own internal power supply (battery)! For reasons of personal protection, the device must be properly earthed! The Protect B. PRO may only be connected to 220 / 230 / 240 V AC mains with protective earthing with a VDE-tested mains connection cable with protective earthing conductor (included in the scope of supply).
Page 18
If the UPS is brought from a cold environment into the room where it will be set up, condensation may occur. In such cases, allow the device to acclimatise for at least 2 hours. The UPS must be completely dry before it may be commissioned.

When replacing the batteries, heed the following: Use only identical, maintenance-free, closed lead batteries with the same specifications as the original batteries. Pre-wired replacement battery kits which are ready for connection are available at your specialist dealer. Risk of explosion! Do not throw batteries into an open fire.
Installation Unpacking and checking The device has been fully tested and checked. Although the packing and shipping of the device are done with the usual care, transport damage cannot be fully ruled out. Transport damage claims are to be lodged with the transport company! For this reason check the shipping container for damage upon receipt.
Please report any deviations to our hotline (see Page 5). The original packing materials provide effective protection against impacts and should be retained to ensure secure transport at a later date. To rule out the risk of suffocation, keep the plastic packaging bags out of the reach of babies and children.
Installation in a 19" rack Install the drawers from your network cabinet manufacturer or the optional UPS rack rails from the AEG product line, preferably in the lower third of the cabinet. Take the cabinet's centre of gravity and sufficient fresh air supply into consideration here.

Mains connection Compare the setting of the rated supply voltage of the UPS to the rated voltage applicable for your country. The ex-works presetting of the UPS output voltage is 230 V AC. Changes to 208 V AC, 220 V AC, 230 V AC or 240 V AC can be made via the operator panel.
Finally, check the firm seating of the wire jumpers attached in the Emergency Power Off plug and tighten the two external screws of the plug part (see also Page 26 Item 10). If you would like to use the emergency switch-off function, continue with Section 8.4 on Page 41.
UPS device at any time. If the device does become overloaded, however, "OVERLOAD" appears in the display and an audible tone is emitted. The connected electrical loads continue to be supplied with power for a specific period of time which depends on the severity of the overload, but the connected load must be reduced immediately.
Operator panel 7.2.1 Overview The panel is made up of three units: the liquid crystal display with black pictograms on a white background, the four buttons for menu navigation and mechanical enabling of the rotatable unit and, at the top, the three different UPS status display LEDs. 7.2.2 Operating buttons (navigation) The four buttons possess the following functions:...

Procedure for programming the manageable outputs Step 1: First set the UPS to the so-called standby operating mode, i.e. if the UPS was just in operation, switch it off. ATTENTION: Your connected electrical loads are de-energised by this! Also ensure that the internal/external battery's contacts were connected properly.
The interface protocol is designed for operation with the shutdown and UPS management software "CompuWatch" from AEG. To connect your UPS to the PC, use the RS232 or USB communication cable included with the delivery.
The "CompuWatch" shutdown software supports various operating systems, incl. Windows 98/ME, Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows Vista/7, Linux SUSE, Linux RedHat, Novell Netware, IBM AIX, HP-UX, SUN Solaris, Mac OS X etc. Sample screen from "CompuWatch" Details on installation under the various operating systems can be found in the manual on the CD.
Note: After activating the emergency switch-off, the outputs of the UPS are de-energised. Only after acknowledgement/resetting emergency switch-off mechanism and manual restart by switching the "UPS On" does the UPS return to normal operating condition. To install the emergency switch-off mechanism, proceed as follows: Check whether the UPS is switched off, and switch it off if necessary (standby operating mode).
Troubleshooting Malfunctions The Protect B. PRO outputs detailed fault indications which you or the service personnel can use to quickly and precisely localise and interpret malfunctions which occur. Below you will find suggested processes/solutions for remedying the problem you are experiencing. If you are not able to solve the problem in this manner, end the entire process, switch off the UPS and disconnect the UPS from the mains.
