3.4 Setting ECO Mode

Context
● The UPS is set to non-ECO mode by default. Set the UPS to ECO mode as
required.
● In ECO mode, the bypass takes priority over the inverter in supplying power. If
the bypass is disconnected, the UPS transfers to inverter mode. The transfer
time is less than 4 ms in typical working conditions and less than 20 ms in
poor working conditions.
● Both a single UPS and the parallel system support the ECO mode for higher
efficiency.
● To avoid frequent transfers between ECO mode and normal mode, do not set
ECO mode when the bypass input is unstable or is sensitive to load changes.
● ECO mode is not recommended when the load is less than 10%.
● Before setting ECO mode, ensure that the bypass is working properly.
● Before you set ECO mode, check that the voltage system settings match the
local power supply environment.

Procedure
Step 1 Shut down the inverter to transfer the UPS to bypass mode.

Step 2 Select a value (±5%, ±6%, ±7%, ±8%, ±9%, and ±10%) from the ECO voltage
range drop-down list box. Press to select a setting item, press ▲ and ▼ to
select a voltage range, and press to confirm the setting.

4.1 Starting a Parallel System

Prerequisites

CAUTION

● Before starting a parallel system, ensure that each UPS has been commissioned
(see 3.1 Powering On and Starting the UPS).
● Choose Monitoring > UPS System > Running Parameter > System Settings
on the WebUI of each UPS and set EPO detection to Enable.
● If you commission the parallel system where UPSs are not powered off after
they are commissioned individually, skip step 4. In addition, ensure that step 1
is performed before commissioning a single UPS.
● Ensure that all load circuit breakers in the system are OFF. Do not start loads
before the parallel system is started.
● Before connecting parallel cables, if you turn on the external output power
switch of the rack by mistake, the system may report alarm 0570-002 BPM
unit abnormal. In this case, you need to power off the rack to clear the alarm.

Quick Guide 4 Parallel System Commissioning

Figure 4-1 Conceptual diagram (using two parallel UPSs as an example)

Procedure
Step 1 Check before power-on: Ensure that the mains input, bypass input, and AC output
cables of each UPS in the parallel system are connected in the same phase
sequence.
1. Check that the general mains input, bypass input, and output circuit breakers
are OFF.
2. Check that the power cables of UPSs are connected in parallel (the external
mains input, external bypass input, and external output power switches for
each UPS are ON).
3. Use a multimeter to measure the impedance between phases A, B, and C of
the mains/bypass input and AC output of any UPS. If the measured result is
low conducted resistance, check whether the cables to each UPS are short-
circuited.
4. Use a multimeter to measure the impedance between phases A, B, and C of
the mains/bypass input and AC output of any two UPSs. If the measured
result is low conducted resistance, check whether the mains/bypass input and
AC output phase sequences of the two UPSs are correct.
Step 2 (Optional) Activate the EPO on each UPS.
1. On the WebUI of each UPS, choose Monitoring > UPS System > Running
Parameter > System Settings, and set EPO detection to Enable.
2. Press the EPO switches connected to the dry contact cards of all UPSs one by
one, or remove the 4-pin terminals from the EPO ports on the dry contact
cards of all UPSs, or press the general EPO switch.

3. If a single UPS is not powered off after commissioning, verify on the

monitoring screen that EPO has been activated successfully.

NOTE

The EPO on each UPS is not activated: If the parallel parameters have not been set for the
UPS being commissioned and working in normal mode, the output switch of a parallel UPS
is turned on by mistake, and other UPSs work in bypass mode, the bypass of the UPSs will
back feed the UPS under commissioning. As a result, system overvoltage occurs or the
upstream switch trips.

Step 3 Install parallel cables between parallel cabinets.

Figure 4-2 Control cable connection diagram (using four parallel 30 kVA/40 kVA
UPSs as an example)

Step 4 Set the DIP switch for each UPS.

Set the bypass unit DIP switches SW1-DIP4 and SW2-DIP1–SW2-DIP4 or SW-DIP4–
SW-DIP8 to ON to set up parallel communication between MDUs.

Step 5 Power on the parallel system.

1. Turn off the external output power switch for each UPS to ensure that the
UPS outputs are independent of each other.
2. Turn on the general bypass and mains input switches.
If the input power is normal, the rectifier starts automatically. The MDU starts and
displays the progress bar. Wait until the MDU starts properly.
Step 6 Check that the software versions of all UPSs are consistent.
On the LCD of each UPS, choose System Info > About > Version Info and check
whether all software versions are consistent. If not, update all software versions to
be consistent.
Step 7 Set parallel parameters for each UPS.
1. System settings: On the LCD, choose System Info > Settings > System

Step 8 Synchronize parallel parameters.

1. If the Inconsistent parallel param. alarm is generated, choose System Info >
Settings on the LCD and tap Parameter Sync to synchronize parameters
between UPSs in the parallel system.
2. Check that no alarm is generated for any UPS and perform subsequent
operations. If an alarm is generated, follow the troubleshooting suggestion to
clear the alarm first.
Step 9 Clear the EPO state of each UPS. For details, see 5.1 Clearing the EPO State.
Step 10 Measure the output voltage of each UPS.
1. Check that no Bypass abnormal alarm is generated for any UPS in the
system. Then, all UPSs in the system supply power in bypass mode.
2. Turn on the external output power switch for any UPS.
3. Set the multimeter to the AC voltage position, connect the black probe to the
output phase A of the external output power switch of the UPS, and connect
the red probe to the input phase A of the external output power switches of
other UPSs to measure the output voltage differences between UPSs. Perform
the same operations on phases B and C. Complete the measurement between

the external output power switches of every two UPSs in the parallel system.
If the phase sequence is correct and the voltage difference is less than 5 V,
perform the subsequent operations. If the phase sequence is incorrect or the
voltage difference for a phase between the external output switches of any
two UPSs is greater than 5 V, power off the parallel system completely, and
check whether the output cables for the UPS parallel system are properly
connected.

CAUTION

Exercise caution when performing operations with power on. There are many
electrified parts in the UPS wiring area. It is recommended that the test be
performed in the external power distribution area of the UPS.

Step 11 Turn on the external output power switch for each UPS.
Check that no alarm is generated for any UPS, and then turn on the external
output power switch for each UPS.
Ensure that the output switch on each UPS is ON and the load switch is OFF.
Step 12 Tap Single Inv. ON on the Common Functions screen and check that all UPSs
transfer to normal mode.
NOTE

After you tap Single Inv. ON for one UPS, the UPS will transfer to normal mode. The UPSs
whose inverters are not started will generate a No power supplied alarm, which will
disappear after their inverters are started.

Step 13 Connect batteries to the parallel system.

1. Check that no alarm except the No battery alarm is displayed on the LCD of
each UPS.
2. Turn on the battery input switch for each UPS. (If there are multiple battery
strings, turn on the switch of one battery string, measure the voltage where
the general battery switch is located, and then turn off the switch of the
battery string. Perform the same operations on other battery strings to
measure the voltage of each battery string. If the measurement results are
consistent, turn on the switch of each battery string one by one, and then
turn on the general switch between the battery strings and the UPS.)
3. Ensure that batteries are properly connected (the No battery alarm in the
active alarm list of all LCDs disappears within 2 minutes and no other alarms
are generated).
Step 14 Turn on the general output switch (general load switch).
