• No mains voltage is present on the wires

• All Loads are shut down and disconnected
• UPS is shut down and voltage-free (no battery is connected)
• Make sure the unit is pre-configured as you need: single input or dual input feed (see Figure 12).
Factory standard is dual input feed, single feed is optional and if ordered with the units it comes
pre-assembled. To convert single feed into dual or vice-versa go to subsection 4.4.1.
• All 4x switches (IA1 Maintenance Bypass – IA2 Output Isolator – IA3 Bypass Input – IA4 Rectifier
Input) are in position OFF
• Mains voltage (Input Voltage) and frequency (Input Freq.) correspond to the values indicated on
the type plate of the UPS. The type plate (Figure 1) is on the inside part of the door in a center
position.
• Make sure that the total power of the load is equal or lower than the rated power of the UPS
(Output power) indicated on the type plate of the UPS.
• PE wiring is performed in accordance with the prescribed IEC Standards or with local regulations;
• UPS is connected to the mains through a Low Voltage (LV)-Distribution Board with a separate
mains line (protected with a circuit breaker or fuse) for the UPS.
The wiring must be done in the following order:

1. Connect first the PE wire coming from the LV Distribution Board (mains) to the terminal "PE".
2. Connect the input wires 3-phases + N coming from the LV Distribution Board (mains). Keep the
phase rotation in clock-wise sense. In case of dual input with 2xN wires, the 2xN have to be at the
same potential, ideally they have to be joined together somewhere upstream the UPS. Dual input
feed with just 1xN is also possible.
3. Connect the output wires 3-phases + N. N at the output is not mandatory (depends on the type
of load).
4. Connect the battery wires, make sure the polarity (+) and (-) are correct.
Make sure you are using the recommended tightening torque (Table 7) and you are connecting each
wire at the correct terminal, on the unit itself each terminal is labelled, as shown here below in Figure
13.

4.4.1 Conversion from single input feed to dual input feed and vice-versa
The Figure 14 below shows the situation with single input feed which is achieved thank to 3x link wires
which are factory mounted in case the unit is ordered with single input feed.
To convert the unit from single into dual input feed simply remove the 3x link wires which connect
the INPOUT RECTIFIER 1-L1, 1-L2, 1-L3 with the INPUT BYPASS 2-L1, 2-L2, 2-L3. All link wires have
M8 ending.
To convert the unit from dual into single input feed first you need to have the 3x link wires (for PW33
60-80kW Art. 04-3820) (for PW33 100-120kW Art. 04-3822) then connect the INPOUT RECTIFIER 1-
L1, 1-L2, 1-L3 with the INPUT BYPASS 2-L1, 2-L2, 2-L3. All link wires have M8 ending, apply a
tightening torque of 12.3 Nm.

5.2 Connectivity options
5.2.1 Remote SHUT DOWN (EPO)
The REMOTE SHUT DOWN must use a normally closed contact, which opens to operate the remote
shut down sequence. Usually the shutdown procedure is disabled and it should be activated by a
Hardware Code on “Setup Service” menu”. Please contact your distributor to enable this operation.
THE UPS IS PROVIDED WITH AN “EMERCENCY BYPASS” WHICH IS

AUTOMATICALLY ENABLED IN CASE OF A SINGLE MODULE
CONFIGURATION. IN THIS CASE THE EPO WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY
DISABLED AND MUST BE ACHIEVED IN THE BUILDING/FACILITY. THE
NOTE FACIULITY EPO MUST OPEN THE BYPASS PATH.
The remote shutdown terminals are on the input interfaces X1, pin 7 and 8.
In order to allow removal, maintenance or testing of any remote shut down facility without disturbing
the normal operation of the UPS, it is recommended that a terminal block, be installed between the
UPS and the emergency stop button, as shown in Fig. 13. Use a screened cable with 1 pair (section of
wires can be chosen from 0.5 to 1.5mm2) and maximum length of 100 m. The Switch must be a
normally closed (dry contact).
X1/8
X1/7
Figure 16: Drawing of the wiring for the REMOTE SHUT DOWN SWITCH
5.2.2 Generator on facilities

The Generator ON facility must use a normally open contact that closes to indicate that a generator is
running and supplying input power to UPS. The remote Generator ON terminals are on the input
interfaces X1, pin 1 and 2.
When used, this facility disables the UPS static bypass and prevents the UPS from transferring the load
on to the generator power supply and/or block the battery charger during the time the UPS is supplied
from the genset.

5.2.3 Wavemon Shutdown and management software
WAVEMON Software is an external monitoring and shutdown software which was designed to operate
with all UPS products, both with the DRY PORT (Relays) on Terminal block X2 …X4 and RS232 port
JD11 on the communication card
The software packet consists of a CD ROM for most diffused operating systems (Windows, Unix, OS/2,
DEC VMS, Novell, Apple), a standard connection and a user manual.
The dry port X2…X4 with voltage-free contacts may also be used for automatic shutdown in connection
with WAVEMON Software. It is necessary to provide a cable of 0.5 mm2 to connect Terminals X2..X4
of the UPS and the serial port of the server.
Figure 18: Monitoring image
The main characteristics of WAVEMON Software are:

• Automatic unattended master/slave shutdown in heterogeneous networks
• On-screen autonomy time / battery time countdown
• On-screen server log off and shutdown procedure
• Extensive logging of all UPS activity and power quality data, with timestamp
• Scheduled UPS economy mode, service mode, other systems status
• Graphical user interface for Windows compatible platforms
• Automatic unattended local shutdown
• Special software modules to close and save open MS-Office documents.
• Compatible for all optional modules like UPSDIALER, SNMP adapters, Temperature sensors,
etc.
The UPS-Management Software is a client-/server-application for networks and local workstations.
Basically WAVEMON-Software consists of two parts: the server-module of the UPS-Management
Software is UPSServ, which communicates via RS-232 cable with the UPS. Working as a background
process the UPSServ collects messages, received from the UPS. The UPSServ interprets received
messages and makes them available to the client-module UPSCli and to any SNMP-based
management station.
Page 24/50

When UPSServ detects voltage variations or a power failure it can execute various so called system
„event routines“, which for example may shutdown the server or send warning to connected users.
These system event routines which are a part of the UPS-Management Software can be adjusted to
your demands.
The UPS management software includes with every serial number the licence for using the UPS service
on one server with one UPS and an unlimited numbers of connected WINDOWS workstations. When
operating with two or more servers a licence for every additional server is required. It doesn’t matter if
the UPS service runs at that location or if the server is halted by a UPS service via remote command.
The same regulations are applicable to the use of remote send/receive modules RCCMD and
multiserver shutdown under NT, UNIX and other operating systems. The service programs are generally
delivered as a single-licence. To use a single CD ROM to shutdown multiple servers you have to
purchase additional CD license keys.
Parallel/redundant UPS systems are also manageable by the software.
The main principle is: let introduce a shutdown of a Server only when strictly necessary. A correct
Parallel Handling has therefore to manage a parallel system as a whole and always considering
redundancy. Following statements apply:
Every alarm on any unit is immediately notified, but …

− … a reaction to a severe fault is introduced only when the minimum number of UPS –Modules
necessary to supply the load exhibits an alarming situation.
− The real Battery autonomy time of the (whole) parallel system is computed continuously.
− Maintenance on a redundant unit may be executed without annoyance to the management system
(supervisor).
In order to be managed, a UPS can be integrated into a network in two ways:
1. By means of the server which is being powered by the UPS and is integrated in the network. In
most of the cases the server is used as sub-agent and you only need the PMC-Software without
any SNMP Adapter. You need a standard serial connection between the RS232 JD11 port of the
UPS and the RS232 port of the computer/server.
2. In some situations it is preferable to interface the network via an SNMP adapter. By this way up
to 50 computers can be shut down in a RCCMD environment. RCCMD (Remote Console
Command) is an additional software module, which can be triggered by the SNMP device to
executes a command (typically a shutdown command) on a remote system.
5.2.4 SNMP CARD/ADAPTER for network management / remote monitoring

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a worldwide-standardized communication-
protocol. It is used to monitor any device in the network via simple control language. The UPS-
Management Software also provides its data in this SNMP format with its internal software agent. The
operating system you are using must support the SNMP protocol. We offer our software with SNMP
functionality for Novell, OS/2, all Windows running on INTEL and ALPHA, DEC VMS, Apple.
Two types of SNMP interfaces with identical functionality are available: an external SNMP-Adapter (Box)
and an internal SNMP-Card. Both can manage a parallel system (N modules) and return either global
values - which are consistent for the whole parallel system - or specific values from the single modules.
Page 25/50

Figure 19: SNMP card or box wired between the UPS and the WEB/Ethernet
The adapter may be configured via Telnet, HTTP (Web-Browser) or serial connection (Terminal). For
normal operation at least one network connection (Ethernet) is required.
The SNMP adapter can be used, utilizing the RCCMD send function, for an automatic network wide
shut down or just for informing connected users. The shut down procedure can be initiated on a low
residual battery autonomy time (downtime) or by a countdown timer which is started at the beginning
of the alarm. A shut down is therefore possible without extra input from the operator, and is fully software
controlled.
The small (125x70 mm) External SNMP adapter comes with following interfaces:
1. RJ-45 connector for 10/100 Base-T (autoswitchable)
2. Serial Port for configuration (COM2) or optional ModBus
interface.
3. Error/Link LED for UPS status
4. Aux Port
5. DIP Switch
6. Serial Port to the UPS (COM1)
7. DC Supply (9 VDC or 9-36 VDC supply, depending on model);
Figure 20: External SNMP Adapter
The Internal SNMP-Card can be inserted into an appropriate

extension slot of the PMC. This adapter communicates via the serial
port of the UPS and makes a direct multiple server shutdown
possible without additional SNMP management software.
Figure 21: Internal SNMP Adapter
For detailed information please see Software Manual provided with the PMC-Software CD
ROM.RCCMD - Remote Console Command module for a multi-server shutdown. This stand-alone
software module is designed to receive and execute a command issued by a remote device. Thanks
to RCCMD it is possible to execute a shutdown in a heterogeneous multiplatform network. The new
release RCCMD2 is an application available for all Operating Systems, analogous to PMC-Software.
Our SNMP Interfaces are compatible to RCCMD.

6 Operation
6.1 Commissioning
The PowerWave 33 is a high quality electronic machine, which must be commissioned by a fully trained
and certified field service engineer before being put into use.
The commissioning of the UPS involves the connection of the UPS and battery, the checking of the
electrical installation and operating environment of the UPS, the controlled start-up and testing of the
UPS and customer training.
OPERATIONS INSIDE THE UPS MUST BE PERFORMED BY A SERVICE

ENGINEER FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR FROM AN AGENT CERTIFIED
BY THE MANUFACTURER.
WARNING!
6.2 Parallel - multicabinet- configuration

The PowerWave 33 S3 UPS may be paralleled for power capacity or for redundancy indefinitely. The
parallel kit is optional. Every UPS unit in a parallel configuration is provided with a proper output parallel
Isolator (IA2) which, when opened isolates the corresponding unit from the parallel system. Once the
parallel isolator (IA2) of a unit is open that unit (module) is isolated from the rest of the parallel system
and therefore does not provide power to the output. For example if you perform the command “LOAD
TO BYPASS” on any unit, all the units will transfer the load simultaneously to mains and if you perform
the command “LOAD TO INVERTER” on any unit all the UPS’s will simultaneously transfer the load to
the inverters.
6.2.1 Installation instructions
THE OPERATIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS CHAPTER MUST BE PERFORMED

BY A SERVICE ENGINEER FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR FROM AN
AGENT CERTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
WARNING!
IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE EQUAL LOAD SHARING BETWEEN THE UPS-

CABINETS, THE INPUT CABLE LENGTHS FROM THE INPUT DISTRIBUTION
BOARD TO THE UPS AND FROM THE OUTPUT CABLE TO THE OUTPUT
DISTRIBUTION BOARD SHOULD BE THE SAME RESPECTIVELY.
WHEN CABLING THE UPS’S BEWARE TO CONNECT INPUT AND OUTPUT
WIRES TO THE CORRESPONDING TERMINALS, RESPECTING THE SAME
PHASE SEQUENCE ON ALL UPS CABINETS.
NOTE
EXAMPLE:
PHASE1 OF UPS1 = PHASE1 OF UPS2 = …… = PHASE1 OF UPS N.
Page 27/50

6.2.2 Paralleling of UPS-Cabinets
For the correct performance of different parallel functions and operations the parallel units communicate
continuously between each other. This is achieved by means of the so-called communication BUS-
Lines.
After terminating the input and output cabling of each single UPS, it is necessary to connect the units
together to form the parallel system. For this purpose a communication BUS line is connected
sequentially between the units. Connect communication BUS lines according to Figure 22.
CONNECT THE BUS CABLES ONLY WITH SWITCHED OFF UPS AND
OPENED PARALLEL ISOLATORS IA2. RESPECT THE FOLLOWING
CONNECTION SEQUENCES.
NOTE
1. Fit the Parallel Adapter over the Connector JD8 on all UPS-cabinets
2. Set DIP Switch SW2-2 on each Parallel Adapter depending on the UPS Cabinet in the parallel
cabinet configuration (see section 6 chapter 6.1.2.2.2)
3. Connect PORT JD6 on Parallel Adapter of UPS-Cabinet 1and PORT JD5 of Parallel Adapter of
UPS-Cabinet 2 with the corresponding BUS-Cable;
4. Connect PORT JD6 on Parallel Adapter of UPS-Cabinet 2 and PORT JD5 of UPS-Cabinet 3
with the corresponding BUS-Cable
5. Continue in the same manner for the remaining UPS-Cabinets.
Figure 22: Connection of the Bus Lines when paralleling UPS-Cabinets by means of Parallel Adapters.
If the UPS-CABINETS are paralleled, the Parallel Adapter will be placed on the Connector JD8 on the
distribution panel and the communications cables between the cabinets will be connected through the
connectors JD5 and JD6, as we are doing now.
NOTE: set the Switch SW2-2 correctly according to the corresponding cabinet configuration.

The DIP Switch SW1-9 is located on every UPS cabinet. With this switch it is possible to determine the
“position of the cabinet” in a Multi-Cabinet Chain. Define each PowerWave 33 S3 - Cabinet in a Multi-
Cabinet Chain as:
1. The “First”,
2. The “Middle” (there may be more than one) and
3. The “Last”
Cabinet in the Multi-Cabinet Chain by setting the DIP Switch SW1-9 on each cabinet according to the
Table below:

6.4 Operating modes
6.4.1 Mode "ON LINE" (INVERTER MODE)
The ON-LINE-Mode is the UPS-Operating Mode in which the load is supplied through the RECTIFIER
and INVERTER.
LED Indicator Color

LINE 1 Green
LINE 2 Green
BYPASS OFF
INVERTER Green
BATTERY Green
Using the control panel the UPS can easily be transferred to the ON-LINE-Mode. The ON-LINE-Mode
provides the highest degree of protection, especially in the event of a mains disturbance or failure. This
operating mode is always recommended if the critical loads (computer systems) will not tolerate any
interruption of the supply (not even the shortest). In the unlikely event of an inverter fault or overload
condition the UPS will transfer the load automatically and without interruption to the static bypass-mains
supply (transfer time = 0).
6.4.2 Mode"OFF-LINE"(ECO- or BYPASS MODE)

In the "OFF-Line Mode”, the load is supplied from the mains through the static bypass. Using the control
panel the UPS may be easily transferred to "Bypass Mode”.
LED Indicator Color

LINE 1 Green
LINE 2 Green
BYPASS Green
INVERTER OFF
BATTERY Green
When the UPS is operating in "Bypass Mode”, the efficiency of the system is higher. In the event of a
mains failure the load will automatically be transferred from mains to inverter within 5 msec (this is valid
for single and parallel systems). The battery charger remains active in the "Bypass-Mode”.
The "Bypass-Mode”, is recommended only if the loads can tolerate interruptions of 3-5 ms (transfer
time from Bypass Mode to ON-LINE Mode).
TO HAVE THE MOST ESSENTIAL SECURITY LEVEL, WE RECOMMEND TO

RUN THE UPS ON NORMAL OPERATION MODE, MEANS ON-LINE MODE.
NOTE
Page 35/50

6.4.3 "Maintenance bypass" - mode
Before transferring the load to Maintenance Bypass (IA1) always make sure all the UPS-modules are in
the "Bypass-Mode” or “ECO-Mode”. The Maintenance Bypass mode is performed by closing (put in
position ON) the IA1 Maintenance Bypass switch on the front of the UPS.

Every UPS-unit is provided with an output parallel isolator (IA2) which, when opened isolates the
corresponding unit from the PARALLEL BUS and from the LOAD. Once IA2 is open there is no power
on the load coming from the UPS.
In redundant parallel configurations it is used to isolate a unit from the parallel system without the need
of transferring the load to bypass.

7 Maintenance

AGENT CERTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER..
WARNING!
7.1 User responsibilities

There are no parts within the UPS which need to be serviced by the user, so the maintenance
responsibilities of the user are zero. To maximize the useful working life and reliability of the UPS and
its batteries, the environment in which the UPS operates should be kept cool (20°C - 25°C), dry, dust
free and vibration free. The batteries should be hold fully charged.
7.2 Preventative maintenaince

The UPS system needs a regular and constant maintenance (preventative inspections) at least once a
year, even during the warranty period.
These preventative maintenance inspections are essential to ensure a correct functionality and
reliability of the UPS system. When the UPS is commissioned, the commissioning field service
engineer will attach a service record book to the front of the UPS and this will be used to record the
full service history of the UPS.
During a preventative maintenance the field service engineer might carry out some or all of following
checks:
• Status and function check of UPS and batteries
• UPS and batteries visual inspection (dust, mechanical damages, ..)
• Visual inspection of screws and cable connections
• Check of air ventilation and room temperature
• Check the operation and function (commutations, remote monitoring and Signaling)
• Current, voltage and frequencies measures
• Measure and record the current load conditions
• Check the load sharing (only in parallel systems)
• Battery voltage check
• Battery discharge test
• Check transfer of the load from UPS to mains operation via static bypass
• Unit cleaning
7.3 Deep battery test

The battery test takes approx. 3 minutes and should be performed only if:
• there are no alarm conditions
• the battery is fully charged
Page 42/50

• mains is present.
The battery testing can be carried out independently of the operation mode (OFF-LINE or ON-LINE) and
whether or not the load is connected. The battery test procedure can be performed from the UPS
display, in the service setup mode.
7.4 Battery maintenance, disposal and recycling

The battery maintenance shall be done by a certified Service Partner.
To ensure an optimum operation of the UPS system and a continuous and efficient protection of the

6.1 Display & mimic diagram

The 2 x 20 character LCD (Figure 1) simplifies the communication with the UPS. The menu driven LCD
enables the access to the EVENT REGISTER, or to monitor the input and output U, I, f, P, Autonomy
Time and other Measurement’s, to perform commands like start-up and shut-down of UPS or load
transfer from UPS to BYPASS and vice-versa and finally it serves for the DIAGNOSIS (SERVICE MODE)
for adjustments and testing.
The mimic diagram located under the logo (Figure 1) serves to give the general status of the UPS. The
LED-indicators show the power flow status and in the event of mains failure or load transfer from inverter
to bypass and vice-versa the corresponding LED-indicators will change colour from green (normal) to
red (warning). The LED’s LINE 1 (rectifier) and LINE 2 (bypass) indicate the availability of the mains
power supply. The LED’s INVERTER and BYPASS if green indicate which of the two are supplying
power to the critical load. The LED-indicator BATTERY is normally lit green, and when it supplies the
load is blinking. The LED-indicator ALARM is a visual indication of any internal or external alarm
condition. At the same time the audible alarm will be activated.
