1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.1 Dos
Read this manual carefully before operating the UPS.
Review the safety precautions described below to avoid damaging users or
equipment.
Install the UPS in a clean and well-ventilated location.
Leave at least 20 cm of clearance space between the ventilation holes of the
UPS and other objects or walls.
The UPS must be well grounded to the buildings grounding system with a
conductor that has a current carrying capacity that matches the rating of the
UPS.
If the unit contains an external battery cabinet, periodically check the grounding
connection between the external cabinet and the main UPS cabinet. (The
batterys cabinet body must be connected with the grounding screw located on
the rear panel of the electronic cabinet.)
Use the UPS only for its intended purpose.
Allow only qualified technicians to service the UPS. There are no user-
serviceable components. Do not try to repair it yourself!
WARNING
Appropriate precautions should be taken during inspection and servicing as
there is a risk of lethal electric shock. (The battery cabinet contains a series of
12-Volt batteries that provide high voltage and energy in the UPS body even
when the UPS is not connected to the electricity mains.)
1.2 Donts
Do not open the cover under any circumstances.
Do not insert any objects through the ventilation holes.
Do not put objects on the UPS.
Do not move the UPS while it is operating.
Do not turn the UPS upside down during transportation.
Do not connect or disconnect the cable to the battery cabinet before the battery
circuit breaker is turned off.
Do not turn on the battery circuit breaker when the battery cabinet is
disconnected from the UPS.
WARNING
Do not touch the battery terminals of external batteries with bare hands.
PS 3:1, 1030 kVA, 220 Vac out Safety Precautions 1

2. GENERAL FEATURES
The PS Series 3:1 Phase, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) employs Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) and is controlled by a 16-bit micro-controller, to provide reliable,
sophisticated protection for every type of line fluctuation, including interruption of the
mains (electrical) supply.
Figure 1: UPS Operational Schematic
In case of a power failure, the UPS provides backup power for a specific period of time.
The unit is oriented to operate like module in parallel with similar Gamatronic UPS
systems. The load is shared between the units. The parallel system is the most reliable
energy source for any critical load. If the system uses N+1 UPS units (the redundant
parallel system), the output voltage is not interrupted even if one of the units is faulty. If
the parallel system is equipped with additional Gamatronic Static Switch unit, the output
voltage is not interrupted even if more than one UPS is faulty.
The Gamatronic parallel UPS system contains the following features:
Each UPS is equipped with its own battery set

Up to 10 units can be connected in parallel
The system is user-friendly. Its operation is simple and requires no previous technical
knowledge. The UPS operates on-line and once activated, the unit provides voltage of
220 V at a stabilized 60 Hz frequency to any practical load.
When backup service is provided (on main line power breakdown), the UPS is powered
by batteries and maintains a constant output voltage supply. The system informs the
operator by means of LED indicators and audible signals of the occurrence of a power
failure.
2 General Features PS 3:1, 1030 kVA, 220 Vac out

An LCD display on the UPS front panel provides real-time, current operational status
providing the user with complete information regarding the operational status of the
UPS.
Using an RS232 communications port, similar status information may be viewed on a

computer monitor. Additionally, the system may be connected to a remote location via
a modem and a telephone line.
The unit consists of two major subsystems:
Electronic Cabinet, including all electronic devices: charger, inverter, static

switch, microprocessor board, panel, etc.
Battery Cabinets, including batteries and circuit breaker.
2.1 Major Subsystems

The device consists of the following modules:
2.1.1 Rectifier/Charger
The Rectifier/charger supplies stabilized DC voltage to the device at 216 2V
2.1.2 Batteries
The batteries are connected to the charger output and supply voltage during power
failures. The batteries are housed in the battery cabinets. The UPS include n internal
2-pole Battery circuit breaker as shown in figure 1.
2.1.3 Inverter
The inverter receives a DC voltage from the charger or batteries and supplies a
regulated, frequency-stabilized, AC voltage (power). The inverter incorporates an IGBT
transistorized bridge; driver, (PC968 board), an L-C filter circuit, isolated output
transformer circuit, current transformer, PC906 board, and a PC801 control board.
2.1.4 Static Switch

In case the inverter can't supply the load with the correct voltage (i.e. because of
overload, inrush current on connecting the load, inverter malfunction, etc.), the
ST.SW/Bypass automatically transfers the load from the inverter to the mains without
voltage interruption or disturbance. When the UPS is in BYPASS mode, the load draws
power directly from the mains, bypassing the inverter. The ST.SW automatically
switches the load back to the inverter when inverter's output voltage returns to normal.
The inverter is synchronized with the mains in both frequency and phase to ensure
correct operation of the static switch. The static switch includes PC690/PC920 boards
and RA101 - RA103 contactors.
2.1.5 Control System

The control system performs the following functions:
a. Tests input, bypass, inverter, battery voltage, output current, input/output

signal frequency, and temperature.
b. Controls the inverter and the bypass contactorRA101and manages
the static switch and charger voltage during battery tests.
PS 3:1, 1030 kVA, 220 Vac out General Features 3
c. Controls the ALARM interface.
d. Reads the panel keyboard and sends messages to the front panel LCD
display.
e. Communicates with devices via the RS232 interface.
The control system includes the PC801 control board, PC075 panel board, PC873
power supply, current, and temperature sensors. Measured voltages and currents are
connected to the control board via the PC800 interface board.
2.2 Control Panel

The UPS is equipped with an LCD-display and touch pad control panel that enables the
user to effectively manage the UPS. Once the UPS is installed, the control panel
serves as the users primary interface with the system. Messages, warnings and error
conditions are relayed to the user through the control panels LCD display and through
audible alarms.
Figure 2: Control panel on smaller units (PC074)
Figure 3: Control panel on medium-sized units (PC075)

Figure 4: Control panel on the larger units (PC085)
2.3 Power On Self Tests

The UPS automatically performs a series of diagnostic tests when initially powered on.
2.4 Measurement
The user can receive real-time information regarding the units operation and condition
simply by pressing the appropriate status buttonthe real-time results are displayed on
the front LCD panel. A sample display follows.

2.5 Real-Time
The system includes a real-time clock and calendar that sequentially manage the log
file and provides the user with historical data. This information is accessible via the
LCD display or, optionally, through the RS-232 communications port.
2.6 Communications
The UPS relays all the measured data and events of the log file through an RS232
communications port to a host computer or, using a modem connected to a telephone
line, to a remote location, or via GMAC or GMACi, proprietary SNMP agents, for
network access.
2.7 Event Logs

The system compiles a listing of up to 256 extraordinary events of the mains, unit and
load during operation. This data is written to the log file and can be accessed easily at
any time through the display panel or computer (optional). This information is very
useful for maintenance and analyzing performance statistics.
2.8 Ease of Use

The UPS includes an on-line help feature that explains the systems features and
describes each of the LCD control buttons and indicators.
2.9 Battery Check

The unit automatically and continuously checks the battery cabinet connection with the
UPS.
2.10 Service Mode

The UPS has a technicians SERVICE MODE that is password protected. Access to
the service mode is only permitted after the technician successfully enters an assigned
password.
2.11 Connections
All connectionsconnection panel, input, output, and ST. SW are accessed via the
rear panel of the UPS.

2.12 Parallel Operation (Option)

Each UPS can optionally operate in parallel with similar units as part of a modular UPS
system. Up to 10 units can be connected in parallel.
Special technical solutions are used to synchronize all the units of the system, to
prevent circulation of energy between the UPS units and to isolate the faulty unit from
the common power bus. In addition, an active current sharing circuit changes the
output voltage of each UPS to provide proportional load sharing between the units.
One of the system's units takes on the function of Master. This unit is synchronized to
the mains power. The other units are Slaves and follow the Master. The function of
Master is not dedicated to one of the units. Any normally functioning UPS can be the
Master.
2.12.1 Centralized vs. Decentralized Static Switch

The UPS employs a Static Switch for functional over-ride. In parallel mode there are 2
possible options of Static Switch operation, centralized and decentralized.
In decentralized mode each UPS includes its own Static Switch which works
independently. However, if one UPS were to fail, the Static Switch would instantly be
triggered and supply the load directly from the mains. This would connect the inverter
of the other UPS directly to the mains which could potentially damage the other UPS.
Therefore, as illustrated below, (Figure 7A) to avoid such a hazard in decentralized
mode, the Static Switches are synchronized using a 3-wire cable.
For additional security, a second option is available as a centralized Static Switch. As

illustrated below, (Figure 7C) there is only one Static Switch (in a separate housing) for
the entire system. This method goes a long way in increasing system reliability,
because the output voltage is constant even if both UPSs are disconnected.
Figure 5: Special parallel communication cable

Figure 6: Cabling for centralized ST.SW. configuration
Figure 7: Cabling for decentralized ST.SW. configuration

3. CONTROL PANEL & INDICATORS

The control panel serves as an interface between the UPS and the user. Real-time
information is displayed visually and audibly. Textual information is presented through
the LCD display. Messages notifying of alarm conditions are reinforced with an audible
alarm to alert the user of extraordinary circumstances.
The LCD control panel includes function buttons for controlling the unit and
informational buttons for reporting the status of the UPS.
The console model will be either PC074 (Figure 8), PC075 (Figure 9), or PC085 (. The
two consoles have the same functionality; the placement of their buttons and LEDs is
slightly different.
In some of the diagrams throughout this user manual only one of the console models is
shown, for simplicitys sake.
The control panels of the smaller and medium cabinets (PC074 and PC075) are very
similar to each other. The control panel of the larger cabinet (PC085) is rather different
in arrangement. Because of this, the PC074 and PC075 panels are explained together
in section XXXX, and the PC075 panel is described separately in section XXX.
