Kit for AS400 and i-Series: the IBM AS400 has a single-level memory management feature that makes it
compulsory for the system to be shutdown in a controlled and orderly manner. Without UPS protection an AS400
is not protected from mains failures. A momentary loss of power can cause hardware damage, data corruption
and a lengthy reboot period. The RIELLO UPS AS400 interface kit allows a UPS to be connected to the AS400 to
initiate an orderly system shutdown on mains failure.
Multi Panel: MultiPanel is a remote monitoring device that can provide a detailed UPS status overview in real
time. It is compatible with all Riello UPS and can display values for UPS specific input and output supplies, and
battery set measurements. MultiPanel has a high-definition graphical display and can report in 7 languages:
English, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Russian and Chinese. It has 3 independent serial ports, one of which
allows for UPS monitoring via the MODBUS/JBUS protocol (on either an RS485 or RS232 serial line). The others can
be used with devices such as the Netman or a PC running PowerShield
3
software.
>11.2 EXTERNAL BATTERY TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The UPS has a special entry point for measuring the temperature inside a remote Battery Box and indicating the
temperature on the UPS display.
The specific kit supplied by the manufacturer includes a bipolar double insulated cable measuring 6 meters. The
use of a bipolar cable without insulation exposes the UPS and the user to risks resulting from a lack of insulation as
the reading refers directly to the UPS neutral earthing.
Once installed, the device is configured using the "UComGP” software package assigned to authorized
personnel.
>11.3 EXTERNAL MAINTENANCE BYPASS
An external remote maintenance bypass can be installed with the UPS, to allow, for example, UPS replacement
without disruption to the load.
If this option is chosen, it is essential to connect the “SERVICE BYPASS” terminal located inside the UPS to the
auxiliary “Normally Open” (NO) contact of the SERVICE BYPASS switch.
Operation of the SERVICE BYPASS switch closes this auxiliary contact and informs the UPS. If such a connection is
not made, operation of the remote maintenance bypass may disrupt the supply of power to the load and
damage the UPS.
Note: Always check that the remote maintenance bypass installation (if selected) is compatible with any
transformer options selected for the UPS - see paragraph 11.6 Optional Transformer.
>11.4 BATTERY CABINETS
The battery cabinet should be used to provide suitable power back up when an UPS main failure occur. The
number of batteries housed within the cabinet varies according to UPS rating. It is therefore necessary to carefully
match that Battery Cabinet DC rating to that of the UPS.
UPS can monitor the status of battery switch located on the cabinet via auxiliary switch contact connected to
MultiCOM 392 and proper card configuration via “UComGP” program. (Reserved to authorised personnel).
