Description of battery monitoring
The SITOP DC UPS 15 module monitors the charge of the back-up batteries.
The batteries are tested at regular intervals during operation and an alarm sig-
nal is generated in the event of a fault. The batteries are kept at full charge. If
the 24 V DC power supply fails or the voltage dips below the set threshold, the
batteries cut in. The green LED in the door (not present in the case of "Battery
Monitoring without LED") indicates that the SITOP DC UPS module is operat-
ing normally.

Operating state indication
Description
4 LEDs are used to indicate the following operating states of the SITOP DC
UPS module:
Normal operation
If the input voltage at the SITOP DC UPS module is higher than the set
cut-in threshold, the devices are supplied by the upstream power supply.
The connected batteries are charged. In normal operation, the green LED
(o.k.) is lit and the relay contact X2.2-X2.3 is closed.
> 85% of full charge
If the battery charge is greater than 85%, the green LED (Bat>85) is lit and
the relay contact X2.7-X2.8 is closed.
Back-up operation
If the input voltage is lower than the set cut-in threshold, the devices are
supplied by the batteries. The yellow LED (Bat) is lit and the relay contact
X2.1-X2.2 is closed.
Alarm signal: Back-up not available
If the back-up function is not available, the red LED (Alarm) is lit and the
relay contact X2.4-X2.5 is closed.
The following situations can cause the back-up function to be unavailable
in normal operation:
Operating state Off
No battery connected
Battery defective or polarity reversed

2. Product description
Open circuit
If the red LED flashes once every 2 seconds, the battery is defective.
Back-up operation is still possible. The specified back-up times can no
longer be maintained, however. The batteries must be exchanged.
If the red LED is lit during back-up operation, the battery voltage has
dropped to < 20.4 V. A forced switch-off is imminent in order to protect the
battery.
The red LED goes out if the batteries have been switched off.
Causes:
Overload
Short-circuit
Exhaustive discharge protection
Back-up time exceeded
The relay contact X2.4-X2.5 remains closed.
2.4
Protection and monitoring functions
Description
The SITOP DC UPS module features the following protection and monitoring
functions:
Battery test
In normal operation, the connected batteries are tested every 4 hours if no
back-up operation or switch-off of the SITOP DC UPS module has oc-
curred. A defective battery is indicated by the flashing red LED (Alarm).
Overcurrent and short-circuit protection
In normal operation and back-up mode, the SITOP DC UPS module is pro-
tected by the internal current limitation. A built-in (and inaccessible) 16 A
fuse protects the SITOP module. The module attempts to restart every 20
seconds.
Exhaustive discharge protection
The batteries may only be discharged to the exhaustive discharge thresh-
old. If the battery is discharged further, this reduces the service life of the
batteries and may destroy them. In order to protect the batteries against
damage, the SITOP DC UPS module is shut down, the state stored, and
the devices disconnected from the batteries, as soon as the battery volt-
age falls below 19 V during back-up operation.
Polarity reversal protection
The SITOP DC UPS module is electronically protected against polarity re-
versal of the input voltage and the batteries.

Setting the DIP switches
Description
The following parameters are set using the DIP switches:
Battery cut-in threshold
If the input voltage drops below the value set as the cut-in threshold, the
SITOP module switches to back-up operation.
End-of-charge voltage
The end-of-charge voltage depends on the battery type and the ambient
temperature.
Charging current
The batteries are charged with constant current until the set end-of-charge
voltage is reached. Observe the specifications of the battery manufacturer
in order to select the optimal setting.
Operating state On/Off
To prevent unintentional discharging of the batteries, the SITOP module
can be switched to the operating state "Off".
Back-up time
Back-up operation is terminated when the set back-up time expires.
Interruption of the output voltage
On expiry of the set back-up time, the output voltage can be interrupted for
5 seconds.
Default setting
Caution!
Incorrect settings reduce the service life of the batteries and may destroy
them. The charging current and end-of-charge voltage must be set in accord-
ance with the following defaut setting (
>>>
2.5 "Setting the DIP switches"
page 10).
