1.4.2 Power Flow Diagrams
1.4.2.1 Normal Operation
During normal operation, power flows from the main AC input source (mains 1) into the UPS rectifier/battery charger
section. The rectifier/battery charger converts the AC voltage to DC, maintains the charge of the battery, and feeds
the DC power to the inverter. The inverter regenerates AC voltage, and supplies the attached load. See Figure 1-5.
Figure 1-5: Normal Operation, Power Flow Diagram.
1.4.2.2 On-Battery Operation
If the main AC input source (mains 1) fails or goes out of tolerance, the charger stops. Power flows from the battery
to the UPS inverter, which in turn supplies the attached load. When the main AC input source (mains 1) returns, the
charger restarts automatically and the UPS resumes its normal operation. See Figure 1-6.
If the battery becomes depleted before the main AC input source (mains 1) returns, the inverter stops and the
attached load is transferred to the bypass AC input source (mains 2) if it is available.

1.5.1 Front Panel
The UPS front panel, includes the emergency power off (EPO) pushbutton, the audible alarm, four LEDs that serve
as system status indicators, the “inverter on” pushbutton, and the “inverter off” pushbutton. See Figure 1-8.
Figure 1-8: Front Panel Indicators and Control Display.
EPO On the left side of the front panel, an emergency power off (EPO) pushbutton is
provided, with a protective cover to guard against inadvertent operation. This
pushbutton, when activated, disconnects the main AC input (mains 1), bypass AC
input (mains 2), and battery power to the UPS, and disconnects output power to the
attached load.
Audible alarm (item 1) The audible alarm provides an audible warning to the operator by sounding
a pulsed “beep” when any of the following conditions occur:
◗Load transferred to bypass (mains 2)
◗Load supplied via battery
◗Operating problem
During minor alarm conditions, the alarm sounds at a slow rate and a low sound
level. When the battery approaches the low-voltage shutdown level, the alarm
sounds louder and at an increased rate. If the inverter shuts down, the alarm
sounds loudly and continuously.
An audible alarm reset is located on the hidden panel. See Figure 1-7. Pressing it
will silence the alarm. Should a higher-level alarm condition occur after the reset
has been activated, the audible alarm will sound the new alarm condition.
¡Load not protected (item 2 ) This red LED turns on when any of these conditions occur:
◗The load is no longer protected following an inverter shutdown,
or the opening of the isolation circuit breaker (Q5N).
◗The battery circuit breaker QF1 is open, making battery power
unavailable.
⁄Operating problem (item 3) This orange LED turns on when an operating problem exists, such as fan
failure; static switch power supply fault; battery temperature fault;
overload fault; or bypass AC input (mains 2) out of tolerance. The UPS
continues to protect the attached load.
ı Battery (item 4) This orange LED turns on to indicate that the attached load is
being partially or completely supplied by the battery. When the main AC
input (mains 1) fails or is outside tolerance, stored battery energy is
supplied to the inverter, which in turn supplies the load.
Í Load protected (item 5) This green LED indicates that the attached load is supplied by
the inverter and protected by the battery. During normal operation, this
LED is the only one that is on.
Inverter on (item 6) This green pushbutton is used to start the inverter. When it is pushed, the
green “load protected” LED flashes for three seconds, indicating that the start
command has been received. When the inverter has synchronized with the bypass

AC input (mains 2) source, the static switch transfers the load to the inverter output.
If the inverter cannot synchronize to the bypass AC input (mains 2) source, the load
must be forced to transfer using the hidden panel (see section 2.11, Forced
Transfers).
Inverter off (item 7) This gray pushbutton is used to stop the inverter. When it is pressed for 3
seconds, the inverter stops and the load is transferred to the bypass AC input (mains
2) source. If the uninterrupted transfer conditions are not met, this pushbutton has
no effect and the inverter can be stopped only from the hidden panel (see Section
2.12, Forced Transfers).

c. Close the optional maintenance bypass circuit breaker Q3BP (if present). Power is now available at the UPS
output (the load is energized) via the bypass source.
d. Close the control or bypass circuit breaker Q4S. The static switch will come on-line; the fans will start.
e. Close the output isolation circuit breaker Q5N (if present).
f. Open the maintenance bypass circuit breaker Q3BP (if present). The load is now supplied via the bypass
source.
Note that if your UPS configuration does not include the maintenance bypass option, start-up requires only
closing Q4S to supply the bypass source to the attached load.
g. Close the input isolation circuit breaker Q1. Verify that the following conditions exist:
◗The red “load not protected” LED is on
◗The rectifier/battery charger automatically starts
If either condition is not present, there is a fault. Open Q1 and contact MGE Customer Support Services.
h. Close the battery disconnect circuit breaker QF1. The batteries are now connected to the rectifier/battery
charger, and have begun charging.
IMPORTANT: Because it is standard for the UPS module to be
programmed for automatic restart, the inverter will
automatically start after the battery disconnect circuit
breaker QF1 has been closed.
i. If the UPS is not programmed for automatic restart, press the “inverter on” pushbutton. The green “load
protected” LED will flash for about 3 seconds, indicating that the inverter is starting.
j. The UPS will automatically transfer the load to the UPS inverter output. The green “load protected” LED will

2.11 Shutdown
Shutdown procedures in this section apply to the EPS 8000 UPS cabinet under normal, emergency, overload, and
maintenance conditions.
2.11.1 Emergency Shutdown Using EPO
CAUTION: Pressing the EPO disconnects the attached load. The
emergency power off (EPO) is to be used during emergency
situations only, where a hazard to personnel or equipment
exists, such as during a fire. DO NOT USE THE EPO TO
TURN THE UPS OFF; follow the procedures listed in
this section for turning the inverter on and off.
During an emergency situation, such as a fire in the computer or electrical room, the UPS and all downstream
devices can be instantly shut down by pressing the “emergency power off” (EPO) pushbutton on the front panel of
the UPS cabinet, or by pressing the “remote emergency power off” (REPO) optional pushbutton located within the
room.
The EPO or REPO pushbuttons should not be used for normal shutdown of the equipment; when activated, ground
paths may be broken (depending on installation) and sensitive loads attached to the UPS may lose safety ground
connection.

2.11.2 Normal Shutdown
To shut down the UPS, press the “inverter off” pushbutton on the module front panel for 3 seconds. To restart, press
the “inverter on” pushbutton. Note that the transfer will occur only if the inverter is synchronized to the bypass;
otherwise, a forced transfer is needed, see section 2.12 Forced Transfers.
To isolate the UPS for maintenance, or to transfer the load to the bypass AC input source (if present), follow
the procedure that applies to your configuration.
2.11.3 With Maintenance Bypass
This procedure assumes that the UPS is operating normally, with the attached load supplied via the UPS inverter:

transfer is required; refer to Section 2.12, Forced Transfers.
2. Open the circuit breaker Q4S.
CAUTION: Opening Q4S with the inverter stopped in a UPS without
maintenance bypass will disconnect the attached load.
3. Open the battery disconnect circuit breaker(s) QF1.
4. Open the input isolation circuit breaker Q1.
For complete protection, the upstream circuit breaker(s) supplying the UPS should be opened, locked, and tagged
while the UPS is being serviced. The UPS is now isolated for maintenance.
To restart the UPS after maintenance:
1. Close all the upstream circuit breakers supplying the UPS. Close the input isolation circuit breaker Q1.
2. Close the circuit breaker Q4S. The UPS fans will start and the attached load will be supplied via the bypass
source.
3. Wait for the green LED “B” on the hidden panel to turn on (indicating that the rectifier/battery charger has
started), then close the battery disconnect circuit breaker QF1. If there is more than one battery cabinet in your
configuration, close all the battery disconnect circuit breakers.
4. Automatic restart of the UPS is the normal configuration; the UPS inverter will start automatically and resume
normal operation. If your EPS 6000 has been programmed NOT to automatically restart, start the inverter by
pressing the “inverter on” pushbutton on the UPS front panel. In a few moments, the inverter will start and the
UPS will resume normal operation. If the transfer conditions are not satisfied (bypass out of tolerance or other
reason), a forced transfer will be required. Refer to section 2.12, Forced Transfers.

2.12 Forced Transfers
This section describes the normal transfer conditions and the procedures to be followed when issuing forced transfers.
CAUTION: Opening Q4S with the inverter stopped in a UPS without
maintenance bypass will disconnect the attached load.
2.12.1 Uninterrupted Transfer Conditions
To transfer the load between the UPS module output and the bypass AC input (mains 2) source without interruption,
the following conditions must be satisfied:
◗inverter output and bypass AC input phases must be in sync
◗Bypass AC input voltage must be within 10% of nominal
◗Bypass AC input frequency must be within a certain programmable tolerance of nominal
Provided that both the UPS module output and bypass AC input sources meet these conditions, uninterrupted
transfers can take place. If these conditions are not met, transfers cannot take place without interruption. A forced
transfer is required.
Forced transfers require a power interruption to the load of 0.8 seconds. Before issuing a forced transfer command,
be certain that the attached load can tolerate the brief outage. The following paragraphs describe the forced transfer
procedures.
2.12.2 Forced Transfer from Bypass AC Input Source to Inverter
Start the inverter by pressing the “inverter on” button on the front panel.
On the hidden panel, press the “security” key and hold it while pressing the “forced bypass to inverter” key
(pushbutton #4). The load will be disconnected for 0.8 seconds, then connected to the inverter.
2.12.3 Forced Transfer from Inverter to Bypass AC Input
On the hidden panel, press the “security” key and hold it while pressing the “forced inverter to bypass” key (pushbutton
#5). The inverter will stop and the load will be disconnected for 0.8 seconds; then the load will be connected to the
bypass AC input source. See Figure 1-10.

3.0 Scope
This section describes maintenance of the EPS 8000, including safety instructions, preventive maintenance,
isolation for maintenance, information about replacement parts, and troubleshooting LCD alarm messages.
3.1 Safety Instructions
WARNING: DC input power to the inverter is normally from a battery
bank with a very high short-circuit capacity. Accidental
welding and severe burns can be caused by mistakes while
connecting or disconnecting these conductors.
ATTENTION L'entrée DC de l'onduleur est normalement alimentée par une
batterie avee un courant de court-circuit élevé. Une erreur
lors de la connexion ou deconnexion de ces conducteurs
peut causer des soudures accidentelles et des brûlures
sérieuses.
WARNUNG! Gleichstrom zum Wechselrichter kommt gewoehnlich von der
Batteriebank mit einer sehr hohen Kurzschluss
Leistungsfaehigkeit. Unbeabsichtigtes Schweissen und
schwere Verbrennungen koennen die Folgevon fehlerhafter
Verbindung und Trennung sein.
3.2 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SERVICING BATTERIES
A. Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the
required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
B. When replacing batteries, use the same model and manufacturer of batteries.
C. CAUTION — Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode.
D. CAUTION — Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and
eyes. It may be toxic.
E. CAUTION — A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following precau-
tions should be observed when working with batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove the source of ground.
Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will
be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

3.3 Preventive Maintenance
The following preventive maintenance routines should be considered the minimum requirements; your
installation and site may require additional preventive maintenance to assure optimal performance from
your installed EPS 8000 and associated equipment. These routines should be performed twice a year
(more often if required). We strongly recommend contracting MGE Customer Support Services for
preventive and remedial maintenance.
The technician or electrician performing preventive maintenance on the UPS must thoroughly read this manual, and
reference the EPS 8000 Installation Manual for Single Module and Shared systems (MGE part number 86-132215-
00) or the EPS 8000 Shared Systems Users Manual, (MGE part number 86-132216-00), to become familiar with
the indicators, controls, and operation of the EPS 8000 UPS systems.
a. Isolate and de-energize all EPS 8000 equipment for all maintenance operations.
b. Ensure that all equipment is clean and free of loose dust, dirt, and debris. The exterior of the enclosures
may be cleaned with a mild solution of soap and water, lightly applied with a lint-free cloth.
c. Inspect the air intake and exhaust plates and clean as required. Verify that air flows freely through the
equipment. Clean the air intake and exhaust plates, and the enclosure interior, with a vacuum cleaner.
d. The EPS 8000 module is equipped with air filters that should be changed at regular intervals. Inspect the
filters regularly to determine how long the filters will last in your installation.
e. Initiate the start-up procedure, as described in the User’s guide.
f. Test the main operating sequences as applicable to your equipment configuration and installation.
3.4 Replacement Parts
There are no user replaceable parts inside the EPS 8000.
Three levels of replacement parts are available for the EPS 8000 UPS. The three levels are designated A, B, and
C. The level that you should keep on hand for your installation will vary depending on the type of maintenance
planned on site, and the configuration of your UPS system. Having the replacement parts on hand will prevent any
unacceptable delays (due to time involved obtaining spare parts) during critical periods, such as system start-up.
Any items used during start-up will be replaced by MGE at no charge. Contact MGE Customer Support Services for
specific recommendations. A description of each level is provided below:
Level Description
AThis level of replacement parts consists of consumable items, specifically fuses and air filters. It
is recommended to have these items on hand during installation of the UPS systems, including
initial start-up.
BThis level of replacement parts is recommended when the user can tolerate short-duration UPS
down-time to obtain replacement parts in the event of a major UPS failure. This level of replace-
ment parts consists of consumable items, specifically fuses, air filters, an inverter leg, and the
most critical circuit board assemblies.
CThis level of replacement parts is recommended when the user can tolerate only a minimum of
down-time in the event of a major UPS failure. This level of replacement parts consists of consum-
able items, specifically fuses, air filters, an inverter leg, and a complete set of circuit board
assemblies.
