    FOREWORD We thank you for the trust you have in SOCOMEC UPS IT-SWITCH (models S, B and E). Our equipment complies with: - Electromagnetic compatibility directives as per standards EN 50081-1 and EN 50081-2, - Low Voltage directives. SAVETY REQUIREMENTS Conditions: Do read carefully these operation instructions before proceeding to the IT-SWITCH commissioning. For an optimal use, it is recommended to: - maintain the ambient temperature between 0°C and 35°C, - maintain the humidity rate below 90% (condensation-free). Precautions the use should take: WARNING: • It is absolutely necessary to earth the IT-SWITCH before connecting any upstream and downstream

    supplies.

    • Hazard remain present even if the IT-SWITCH output has been switched off ; supply voltage of sources 1 and 2 is indeed still present.

    • Do not remove the cover without completely disconnecting the IT-SWITCH from the input supplies 1 and 2.

    Do follow scrupulously the procedures when switching the IT-SWITCH on or off. Whatever the repairs, they must be exclusively executed by authorised and skilled staff. This equipment meets the requirements of the European directives applied to this product. Hence it is labelled as follows:

    This equipment is designed to a restricted distribution in compliance with the conditions defined by the standard EN 50091-2. As a consequence, restrictions to the installation or complementary steps may be needed to prevent potential electromagnetic interference.

    Certificate of Warranty

    This SOCOMEC UPS IT SWITCH is guaranteed against any defect in construction or operation

    arising from faulty design or materials for a period of 12 months, valid from the date of purchase.

    The warranty certificate must NOT be sent to the manufacturer but should be kept in a safe place

    together with proof of purchase, as these will be required should the product need to be repaired or replaced under the terms of the warranty.

    The period of validity of the warranty is calculated from the date of purchase by the end user from

    an authorised dealer (the date on the purchase document is sufficient for this purpose). The warranty is of the 'carry-in' kind: SOCOMEC UPS will provide parts and labour free of charge

    for all repair work carried out, but the customer is responsible for the cost and risk of transport to and from SOCOMEC UPS.

    For these stipulations to be valid, the Purchaser must comply with the following: - the product must only be returned in its original packing. Any damage caused to the product

    during transport, where the original packing has not been used, is not covered by the terms of this warranty.

    - the product must be accompanied by proof of purchase (i.e. invoice, receipt) stating the date of

    purchase and clearly identifying the product (i.e. bearing the model and serial number). The repair return authorisation number is given by the service centre over the phone after they have received a detailed description of the fault. Failure to provide one of these means that the warranty is no longer valid.

    - should the customer not be able to provide proof of purchase, the serial number and the date of

    manufacture will be used to calculate the warranty period. This may mean the warranty period is shorter than it would otherwise be.

    - the warranty does not cover damage due to misuse (use out of tolerances: power supply,

    lightening, humidity, temperature, poor ventilation, etc.), tampering or any other kind of non-authorised intervention.

    - during the warranty period, SOCOMEC UPS liability is limited to the obligations as defined herein

    (repair or replacement).

    GENERAL PRESENTATION 1 PURPOSE OF THE IT-SWITCH

    The IT-SWITCH provides a dual redundant supply to the load(s) from two synchronous and alternating sources.

    The IT-SWITCH senses voltage outages and ensures the load automatically transfers to the alternate source (seamless for the load).

    The IT-SWITCH improves the load power supply reliability. The load can quickly be transferred (either automatically or manually) from the so called "Preferred" source to the "alternate" source (and vice versa). Note: this document providethis document provides information in terms of safety, connection and using. 2 IT-SWITCH ARRANGEMENT Three versions of IT-SWITCH are available: - fixed version (model S) - fixed version HA (model B)

    - hot-swap version (model E), with a manual bypass for replacing the live IT-SWITCH without interrupting the load power supply.

    OPERATION

    11 OPERATING PRINCIPLE

    In normal operating conditions, the IT-SWITCH supplies the load from the preferred source. The latter can be selected by the operator, depending on the operating requirements of the site. Two different transfer modes can be selected: - the manual mode by pressing the push button on the control panel:

    " SOURCE 1" to supply the load from source 1

    " SOURCE 2" to supply the load from source 2

    - or the automatic mode, upon source failure.

    In such a case, the IT-SWITCH: - senses a failure on the preferred source and ensures the automatic load transfer to the alternate source,

    - senses a failure on the alternate source and ensures the automatic seamless load transfer to the priority

    source, following a manual transfer to the alternate source.

    NOTE: the preferred source (source 1 or source 2) is selected from the control panel (see § 12.1) of from the TOP VISION supervision workstation.

    12.2 Key controls

    Key makes it possible to close static switch SW1. Key makes it possible to close static switch SW2.

    Key

    (alarm reset) shows three functions:

    - 1 light pressing for resetting the audible beep, - 1 long pressing (5 seconds minimum) for selecting the preferred source. - 1 pressing together with key or (depending on the source supplying energy) causes the load

    disconnection (see § 11.3.4).

    12.3 Operation explanations

    The IT-SWITCH provides two main operating modes: - the manual transfer by the operator either locally or remotely (through the TOPVISION supervision centre) - the automatic transfer by detection when the voltage of the preferred source exceeds the permitted

    values. The transfer is without sources overlapping.

    12.3.1 Manual transfer The operator can control the load transfer from one source to the other by using keys or on the control panel.

    When pressing any keys, an audible beep is given to indicate that the request has been taken into account.

    The manual transfer is seamless.

    If synchronisation conditions are not fulfilled after 25 seconds (factory standard setting), an asynchronous transfer is performed. If the latter is impossible (e.g. input source out of tolerance) the following led lights !

    TRANSFER IMPOSSIBLE

    Note: The alarm is automatically deleted when normal conditions are restored. 12.3.2 Automatic transfer

    The automatic transfer from the preferred source to the alternate one is seamless for the load. It is carried out if a voltage drop occurs on the preferred source or if the latter fails. When the preferred source is restored, the IT-SWITCH automatically transfers the load back to this source after 3 seconds. An automatic transfer from the alternate to the preferred source can also be performed following a manual transfer request.

  • UPS/NTA GB/ITS32.F page 17

    To ensure safe transfer, the IT-SWITCH constantly monitors if the alternate source is present and within the tolerances. If not, the transfer function is inhibited and the IT-SWITCH immediately gives the alarm to inform the operator that no transfer can be performed. In case of short-circuit on the output of one of the loads supplied, the transfer function is inhibited. This facility is for preventing the short-circuit transmission to the other path which is therefore left untouched. IMPORTANT: this functionality is not available on the IT-SWITCH model S Transfer can either be synchronous or asynchronous depending on the synchronisation of the sources and on the configuration of the IT-SWITCH.

    Synchronous transfer

    The synchronous transfer is automatic when both sources S1 and S2 fulfil synchronisation conditions, that is when the phase shift is within the values admitted (in standard +/- 15°). In such case, the source switching does not cause changes of phase. If the phase shift exceeds the values admitted, the synchronous automatic transfer to the other source is inhibited, unless the system is set with the synchronous and asynchronous conditions (software configuration).

    NOTE: The IT-SWITCH is set in standard for synchronous and asynchronous type transfers. It can however be set for synchronous transfers only if the load connected is sensible to phase changes. Most information processing equipment, servers, computers and so on, are not sensible to significant changes of phase.

    IMPORTANT: the IT-SWITCH model S can not be set for synchronous transfer only.

    Asynchronous transfer

    The asynchronous transfer is only executed if the software setting has been validated (standard factory setting) and if sources S1 and S2 are not synchronised (phase shift exceeding the admitted values). In such a case, the source switching can show a significant change of phase. This type of transfer is for safe load switching between sources that are not constantly monitored or exceptionally out of phase.

    12.3.3 Transfer blocked

    In the event of five consecutive automatic transfers within 2 minutes (120 seconds), the alarm

    1

    2 (or the

    alarm: 2

    1

    10 ) is given. At this stage, the transfer is blocked and the load is supplied by the alternate source. Note: to activate the transfer, press key or depending on the source preferred. IMPORTANT: the IT-SWITCH model S has no "transfer blocked" configuration

  • UPS/NTA GB/ITS32.F page 18

    12.3.4 Load disconnection

    The load disconnection control is for load switching off, while sources 1 and 2 are present on the IT-SWITCH. The control key is

    :"alarm reset" (see §12.2).

    12.3.5 Overload conditions

    As soon as the IT-SWITCH is overloaded (load rate > 103%) the general alarm is given. For currents and overload permitted values, please refer to § 3.

    Operation on the preferred source: A request for transfer to the alternate source can be performed when the overload is half the nominal overload capacity. Two cases can arise: - if the transfer can be achieved, the load is transferred to the alternate source, - if the transfer is impossible, the IT-SWITCH gives the "imminent shutdown" alarm. When the maximum

    overload capacity is reached, the load is disconnected.

    Operation on the alternate source: In case of overload, the "imminent shutdown" alarm is given. When the maximum overload capacity is reached, the load is disconnected by the IT-SWITCH.

    Principle of the automatic start up: In case both sources fail while the IT-SWITCH is supplied by one or the other source, the unit resumes operation with the first one to be restored. The transfer to the preferred source is automatic when the latter is restored. The automatic startup function can be configured and is activated by default.

    13 COMMISSIONNING - OPERATION

    13.1 Preliminary checks

    Only initiate commissioning after completing:

    - earth bonding, - adequate connections of the IEC sockets (or connections to terminals).

    13.2 Safety - Reminders

    CAUTION

    Even when switched off, the IT-SWITCH is constantly live, supply voltage is present at the input of source 1 and 2.

    ADVICE

    Any operation can be safely carried out. Do carefully follow the using or maintenance instructions described in the manual.

  • UPS/NTA GB/ITS32.F page 19

    13.3 Preliminary conditions

    Source 1 and Source 2 are live.

    13.4 Load supply

    From the control panel, press key:

    , for the load to be supplied by source 1, or , for the load to be supplied by source 2.

    If the operator selects the alternate source, the IT-SWITCH supplies the load from the source selected. However, the IT-SWITCH automatically switches the load to the preferred source after a few seconds.

    13.5 Changing the source priority (models S, B and E)

    NOTE: By default, source 1 is preferred when switching on the unit.

    Press key

    for 5 seconds, and make sure that the led lights confirm the change of source.

    After changing the source priority, the load is automatically transferred, after a few seconds, to the newly preferred source.

    13.6 Load disconnection

    Load disconnection opens the circuit of each source. The output is therefore no longer supplied.

    Press key "ALARM RESET" together with key or depending on the source that is supplying load current. At this stage the load is no longer supplied.

    NOTE: If an alarm is displayed, it must be reset before sending a control.

  • UPS/NTA GB/ITS32.F page 20

    13.7 Transfer to manual Bypass (IT-SWITCH Model E)

    The IT-SWITCH (model E) has two "manual bypasses": one to source 1 and the other one to source 2. This way, the load can be directly supplied by one or the other source, or the IT SWITCH can be extracted or replaced.

    The manual bypass is controlled by a 3-position switch located on the top of the chassis:

    - position "N": position for normal operation, - position 1: manual bypass supplied by source 1, - position 2: manual bypass supplied by source 2. NOTA: while in position "N", the IT-SWITCH is locked to the chassis and can not be removed.

    13.7.1 Load transfer to manual bypass

    As each source has its "manual bypass", two cases can arise:

    1 2

    N

    a. the load is supplied by source 1: - open the access door on the front,

    - set the switch to position 1

    At this stage, the load is directly supplied by source 1.

    1 2

    N

    b. the load is supplied by source 2: - open the access door on the front, - set the switch to position 2 At this stage, the load is directly supplied by source 2.

    Note 1: At this stage, the IT-SWITCH can be removed from the chassis without perturbation for the load. Note 2: the position of the switch on the chassis must not be changed while the IT-SWITCH box is not in place, because it would result in the disconnection of the load.

    13.7.2 Return from manual bypass to the IT-SWITCH

    a. the load is supplied by manual bypass 1: - slide the IT-SWITCH box into the chassis, - ensure that the triangular green led for S1 is on, on the control panel - set the switch to "N" At this stage the load is supplied through the IT-SWITCH.

    b. the load is supplied by manual bypass 2: - slide the IT-SWITCH box into the chassis, - ensure that the triangular green led for S2 is on, on the control panel - set the switch to "N" At this stage the load is supplied through the IT-SWITCH.

    14 DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIOUS STATES

    14.1 Transfer impossible The transfer becomes impossible if the conditions are as follows: - voltage outage or voltage out of tolerance on alternate source, - frequency out of tolerance, - phase on both sources out of tolerance and setting for synchronous transfer only, - failure on the alternate source, - short-circuit downstream of the system. 14.2 Imminent shutdown Conditions leading to imminent shutdown are as follows:

    - equipment ambient temperature fault, - overload alarm on preferred path supplying the load and transfer impossible (alternate source not

    available), - overload alarm on alternate path supplying the load. Note: the alarm IMMINENT SHUTDOWN informs the operator that the equipment is about to be stopped for safety reasons. 15 GENERAL ALARM The general alarm comprises:

    - imminent shutdown, - transfer impossible, - return impossible, - overload, - equipment ambient temperature.

    TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

    16 DIFFICULTIES DURING COMMISSIONING

    External causes:

    Check the connection and the presence of the power sources. In case of a malfunction, ensure neutral and phase connections are suitable on each source. If the green leds "Input voltage present on source 1" and "Input voltage present on source 2" are lit together with the orange led "transfer impossible", ensure that both sources have the same phase. For the proper functioning of the equipment, both supply sources should show: - the same voltage, - the same frequency, - the same phase.

    Internal causes, operation checking: If only the red led IMMINENT SHUTDOWN is lit, the electronic temperature has reached a critical level.

    17 MAINTENANCE

    The IT-SWITCH is an equipment that was tested and set by the factory in compliance with quality requirement. Any internal intervention should only be made by personnel approved by SOCOMEC UPS.
