Note related to B0 and B1 batteries:
(B0) The device is supplied without batteries, but with
a space reserved for installation in the same box
for models whose standard version specifies this.
For other models, the battery pack will be installed
in the manner considered most appropriate (box,
cabinet, rack, etc.).
For B0 devices ordered, the cost of acquisition,
installation and connection of the batteries shall
always be borne by the customer or distributor
and under their responsibility.
Accessories such as screws, cables and battery
connection plates are considered optional and
can be supplied upon request.
(B1) Device with a more powerful charger, which does
not have a battery pack, nor the possibility of
installing them in the same box.
If an accumulator module is required, it will need
to be ordered as a separate item, which will be
connected to the UPS using the supplied cable.
Before connecting a module or group of batteries to the
device or another available module, it is necessary
to check that the voltage value printed on the back of
the device next to the battery connector is appropriate
and that the polarity between the means of connection
corresponds.

4.3. OPERATING PRINCIPLE.
This manual describes the installation and operation of SLC
TWIN RT2 series UPSs as devices that can be independently
operated or connected in parallel (for models > 3 kVA). SLC
TWIN RT2 series UPSs ensure optimum protection of any
critical load, maintaining the supply voltage of the loads
between the specified parameters without interruption during
failure, deterioration or fluctuation of mains power, and come
in a wide range of models (from 0.7 kVA to 10 kVA), enabling
the end user to select the model that best suits his needs.
Thanks to their PWM (pulse width modulation) and double-
conversion technology, SLC TWIN RT2 series UPSs are compact,
cool, silent and high performance.
The double converter principle eliminates all mains power
disturbances. A rectifier converts the AC current of the mains
into DC current, thereby maintaining optimum battery charge
level and powering the inverter, which, in turn, generates a
suitable AC sine-wave voltage for continuously powering the
loads. In the event of failure of the UPS’s mains power, the
batteries supply clean power to the inverter.
The design and construction of the SLC TWIN RT2 series UPS
has been carried out in accordance with international standards.
In addition, models with power ratings greater than 3 kVA can
be expanded with the connection of additional modules with
the same power in parallel to obtain N+X redundancy or an
increase in the system’s power.
Thus, this series has been designed to maximise the availability
of critical loads and to ensure that your business is protected
from variations in power distribution line voltage, frequency,
electrical noise, cuts and micro-cuts. This is the primary goal of
SLC TWIN RT2 series UPSs.
This manual applies to the standardised models shown in Tab. 1.
4.4. UPS OPERATING MODES.
•Normal mode.
Device running supplying output voltage from the inverter.
Mains power present with correct input voltage and
frequency.
•Battery mode.
Device running with mains voltage or frequency out of
range or without AC input power, either due to mains
failure or absence of cable connection, supplying output
voltage from the batteries.
•Bypass mode.
Device running or not, supplying output voltage directly
from the AC mains.
With the inverter running, this operating mode may be
due to an overload, blockage or inverter fault.
The actions for each incident will be as follows: Reduce
the load connected to the output, unblock the device by
resetting it – stop it and start it up again – and, if the
blockage or fault remains, contact T.S.S.
With the inverter shut down, the output supplies mains
power directly through the static bypass of the device
provided that it has AC input power.
•Frequency converter (CF) mode.
Operating mode of the UPS as a frequency converter. In
this mode, the static bypass is disabled by the condition of
disparate input and output frequencies.
Even if the LCD display on the backlit control panel
shows messages, it does not mean that the inverter is
operational. It is switched on by pressing the ‘ON’
button on the control panel, see Chapter 6.
4.4.1. Notable features.
•True on-line with double-conversion technology and output
frequency separate from the mains.
•Output power factor 1, except for B1 models where it is 0.8.
Pure sine waveform, suitable for almost all kinds of loads.
•Input power factor > 0.99 and high overall performance
(between 0.89 and 0.91 for 0.7 to 3 kVA models and > 0.93
for higher power ratings). Greater energy savings and lower
user installation costs (wiring), as well as low distortion
of the input current, which reduces pollution in the power
supply network.
•Great adaptability to the worst conditions of the mains.

4.5. OPTIONAL EXTRAS.
Depending on the configuration chosen, the device may include
any of the following options:
4.5.1. Isolation transformer:
The isolation transformer provides galvanic isolation in order
to completely isolate the output from the input and/or change
neutral mode.
The placement of an electrostatic screen between the primary
and secondary windings of the transformer provides a high
level of electrical noise attenuation.
The isolation transformer can be physically placed at the input
or output of the UPS depending on the technical conditions of
the whole system (device supply voltage and/or load voltage,
characteristics or their type, etc.).
In parallel systems, it is not possible to operate with independent
transformers for each UPS; on the contrary, it is necessary to
have a single common element for the total adequate power.
In any event, it will always be supplied as a peripheral
component external to the device itself in a separate box.
4.5.2. Exterior manual maintenance bypass.
The purpose of this option is to electrically isolate the device
from the mains and the critical loads without cutting the power
to the latter. In this way, maintenance or repair operations on
the device can be carried out without interruptions to the power
supply of the protected system, while preventing unnecessary
hazards for the technical personnel.
4.5.3. Communication card.
The UPS features a slot at the rear for inserting one of the
following communication cards.
4.5.3.1. Integration into computer networks using an SNMP
adapter.
Large computer systems based on LANs and WANs that
integrate servers in different operating systems must provide
the system manager with ease of control and administration.
This facility is obtained through an SNMP adapter, which
is universally supported by the main software and hardware
manufacturers.
Connection of the UPS to the SNMP is internal while that of
the SNMP to the computer network is made through a RJ45 10
base connector.
4.5.3.2. Modbus RS485.
Large computer systems based on LANs and WANs often
require that communication with any element that is integrated
into the computer network be made through a standard
industrial protocol.
One of the most used standard industrial protocols on the
market is the MODBUS protocol.
4.5.3.3. Interface to relays.
•The UPS has, as an option, an interface to relays card
that provides digital signals in the form of potential-free
contacts, with a maximum applicable voltage and current
of 240 V AC or 30 V DC and 1A.
•This communication port enables dialogue between the
device and other machines or devices through the relays
supplied in the terminal block arranged on the same card,
with a single common terminal for all of them.
From the factory, all contacts are normally open and can
be changed one by one, as indicated in the information
supplied with the optional extra.
•The most common use of these types of ports is to provide
the necessary information to the file-closing software.
•For more information, contact our T.S.S. or our nearest
distributor.
4.5.4. Extendable guide kits for mounting in a rack cabinet.
An extendable and unique guide kit is available for all device
models, valid for any kind of rack-type cabinet.
These guides allow the installation of any TWIN RT2 device
unit and possible battery modules in the case of extended
backups, as if it were a rack in its respective cabinet.

5.1.5.8. Preliminary considerations before connection.
•In the description of this manual, reference is made to the
connection of terminals and switch operations that are
only available in some versions or devices with extended
backup. Ignore the related operations if your unit does not
feature them.
•Thermal control of these devices is carried out with the
passage of forced air from the front to the rear.
The front surface and about 15 cm on the rear side should
be left free of obstructions to facilitate the free circulation
of air for ventilation.
•Follow and respect the instructions described in this section
referring to the installation of a single device or a system
in parallel.
•Protection or external manual bypass board:
The system will have at least one short-circuit
protection on the UPS’s power supply line.
It is advisable to have an external manual bypass board
fitted with input, output and manual bypass protections
in single systems.
For parallel systems, it is essential to have a
distribution or manual bypass board. The board’s
circuit breakers must be able to isolate a UPS from
the system in the event of a fault and power the loads
with the others, either during periods of preventative
maintenance or during breakdown and repair.
•Upon request, we can supply an external manual bypass
board for a single device or parallel system.
You can also choose to manufacture it, taking into account
the version and configuration of the device or system
available and the documentation contained in the CD-ROM
or pen drive relating to ‘Recommended installation’.
•In the documentation supplied with this user manual
and/or on the CD-ROM or pen drive, information is
available on ‘Recommended installation’ for each input and
output configuration. This documentation includes wiring
diagrams and information about the sizes of the protections
and the minimum cross sections of cables connected to the
device according to their rated working voltage. All values
are calculated for a maximum total cable length of 30 m
between the distribution board, equipment and loads.
For longer lengths correct the cross sections to avoid
voltage drops, respecting the regulations or standards
corresponding to the country.
In the same documentation and for each configuration,
information for ‘N’ units in parallel, as well as backfeed
protection characteristics, is available.
•In parallel systems, the length and cross section of
the cables that run from the distribution or manual
bypass board to each UPS and from these to the board will
be the same for all of them without exception.
•The cross section of the cables must always be considered
in relation to the size of the terminals of the switches, so
that they are correctly fastened across their entire cross
section for optimum contact between the two elements.
•Only rated currents are printed on the nameplate of the
equipment as indicated by the EN-IEC 62040-1 safety
standard. For the calculation of the input current, the power
factor and the equipment's own performance have been
considered.
Overload conditions are considered a non-permanent
and exceptional working mode, and will not be taken
into account in the application of the protections. Do not
connect appliances or devices which may overload the UPS
to the terminals and/or outlets, such as motors.
•If peripheral input, output or bypass elements such as
transformers or autotransformers are added to the UPS or
parallel system, the currents indicated on the nameplates of
these elements must be taken into consideration in order to
use the appropriate cross sections, in compliance with local
and/or national Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulations.
•When a galvanic isolation transformer is added to a UPS
or parallel system as an optional extra, as standard or
independently, either on the input line, at the output or
both, it must be fitted with protection against indirect
contact (differential circuit breaker) at the output of each
transformer, since, due to its own insulation properties, it
will prevent the tripping of the protections placed on the
primary of the isolation transformer in case of electric shock
on the secondary (output of the isolation transformer).
•We remind you that all the isolation transformers installed
or factory supplied, have the output neutral grounded
through a bridge between the neutral terminal and ground.
If the isolated output neutral is required, this bridge must be
removed, taking the precautions indicated in the respective
local and/or national low voltage regulations.
•This device is suitable for installation in networks
with TT, TN-S, TN-C or IT power distribution
systems, taking into account at the time of installation the
particularities of the system used and the national electrical
regulations of the destination country.
•The SLC TWIN RT2 features terminals for the installation
of an external emergency power off button (EPO) or, failing
that, a single device must be installed to cut the power
supply to the loads in any operating mode.
5.1.5.9. Preliminary considerations before connection, regarding
the batteries and their protections.
•SLC TWIN RT2 devices from 0.7 to 3 kVA incorporate the
batteries in the same box as the device, except for B0, B1
and higher power models.
•The battery protection of the device and of any accumulator
module is always by means of internal fuses that are not
accessible to the user.
SLC TWIN RT2 UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY SYSTEMS (UPS)USER MANUAL
18 SALICRU
•IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY: If batteries are installed
independently, the accumulator group must be fitted
with a bipolar circuit breaker or disconnect fuse of the size
indicated in Tab. 2.
•Inside the battery module, there are HAZARDOUS
VOLTAGES with risk of electric shock, so it is classified as a
RESTRICTED ACCESS AREA.
•Do not handle the fuse holder or battery circuit
breaker when the device is running.
•If the mains power of the device or parallel system
is cut for longer than a simple intervention and it is
expected that it will be out of service for a prolonged period
time, the system must be shut down completely.
•The battery circuit is not isolated from the input
voltage. Dangerous voltages can occur between the
terminals of the battery group and the earth. Check that
there is no input voltage before intervening on the terminals.
5.1.5.10. Connection elements.
•All of the device’s electrical connections are made from the
back of each unit:
Input and output connection.
–For models up to 3 kVA.
Input by means of a cable with plug, connectable to
the UPS through an IEC connector.
Outputs through IEC connectors.
–For models with power ratings greater than 3 kVA.
Terminals for powering the device and loads.
It is necessary to remove the transparent protective
cover to access the terminals.
Replace the cover after making the
connections to prevent possible accidents
due to direct contact, especially in tower mountings
as there is a greater risk.
Connection to batteries.
–The device and battery module have a polarised
connector.
Remove the screws and protective cover of the
connector before interconnecting it.
–All battery modules have two connectors that
enable backup extension.
Communication connectors available:
–DB9 for RS232. In models up to 3 kVA, the interface
to relays signals are supplied with the same
connector.
–USB to operate the UPS as a PC peripheral.
–Digital input and output (only in models > 3 kVA).
–For connection to external EPO button.
–Auxiliary contact for the manual bypass switch
(only in models > 3 kVA).
DB15 communication bus connectors and analogue
current signal block for connecting systems in parallel
(only in models > 3 kVA).
To access the signal block, it is necessary to remove its
protective cover.
Slot for the integration of one of the optional electronic
communication units. Remove the fixing screws and
plastic cover to enable it to be inserted.
•It is recommended to use terminals on all of the ends of
the cables connected to power terminals (input and output).
•Check that the terminal screws are correctly tightened.
5.2. CONNECTIONS.
5.2.1. Connection of the input.
•0.7 to 3 kVA models:
Take the power cable with plug and IEC connector on
the end and insert the latter into the input connector
of the UPS.
Plug the power cable into an AC power socket with
earthing.
•4 to 10 kVA models:
As the device has Class I protection against
electric shock, it is essential to install a
protective earth conductor (connect earth ( )).
Connect this conductor before supplying voltage to the
input terminals.
Connect the power cables to the input terminals
respecting the order of the phase (R) and the
neutral (N) indicated on the labelling of the device and in
this manual. Pay particular attention when connecting
the power cables to the input terminals and do not
reverse the connection to the output terminals or vice
versa. Failure to respect the order will result in faults.
Where there are discrepancies between the labelling
and the instructions in this manual, labelling shall
always prevail.
In accordance with safety standard EN-IEC 62040-1, the
facility must be equipped with an automatic backfeed
protection system, such as a contactor, which prevents
the appearance of hazardous voltage or power on the
UPS input line during a mains failure (see Fig. 12).
The standard applies to both individual units and all
UPSs in parallel systems.
There can be no derivation of the line that goes
from the backfeed protection to the UPS, as this
would breach the safety standard.
Warning labels shall be affixed to all primary power
switches installed in areas remote from the equipment
to alert electrical maintenance personnel of the
presence of a UPS in the circuit.
The label shall bear the following text or an equivalent:
Before working on the circuit.
•Isolate the uninterruptible power supply system
(UPS).
•Check the voltage between all terminals, including
the protective earth.
Return voltage risk of the UPS.

Fig. 12. Backfeed protection wiring diagrams.
5.2.2. Connection to IEC connectors or output terminals.
•SLC TWIN RT2 devices feature female IEC output connectors
or terminals depending on the power of the model:
Models up to 2 kVA: 2 groups of 4 x 10A IEC
connectors identified as «OUTPUT» and «OUTPUT
PROGRAMMABLE (P1)», configurable through the
control panel and/or ViewPower.
3 kVA models: same connectors as models up to 2 kVA
and an additional 16A IEC connector.
4 to 10 kVA models: 1 group of output terminals.
In these models, a PDU (power distribution unit) is
supplied to connect to the output terminals of the
UPS. Through it, loads can be powered directly through
the two or three groups of 10 or 16 A IEC connectors
protected by a selective circuit breaker.
•Do not connect loads that in their entirety exceed
the specifications of the device, as this would cause
inconvenient cuts in the power supply of the loads
connected to the output.
•If, in addition to the more sensitive ‘critical loads’, it is
necessary to connect high-consumption inductive loads,
such as for laser printers or CRT monitors, the starting up
of these peripherals will need to be taken into account to
prevent the device from crashing.
We do not recommend connecting loads of this type due to
the amount of power they absorb from the UPS.
5.2.2.1. Connection of loads in models up to 3 kVA.
•Connect the loads to the 10 A IEC connectors.
It is important to consider the two groups of IEC
connectors available, those for ‘critical loads’ and
those for ‘non-critical loads’.
By definition, ‘critical loads’ are considered to be those
that can cause economic damage if they stop functioning
or function incorrectly.
The IEC connectors indicated in Fig. 2 as ‘non-critical
loads’ can be programmed as such through the control
panel. In this case, the backup of the batteries for the
loads connected to the IEC connectors indicated in Fig. 2 as
‘critical loads’ will be reserved. Take into account that they
are set by default as ‘critical loads’.
•The 3 kVA models also have a 16A IEC connector
that enables the connection of a load of the total
power of the device.
5.2.2.2. Connection of loads in 4 to 10 kVA 10 kVA.
•As the device has Class I protection against electric
shock, it is essential to install a protective earth
conductor (connect earth ( )). Connect this conductor
before supplying voltage to the input terminals.
•Connect the loads to output terminals U (L) and N,
respecting the order of the phase and the neutral
indicated on the labelling of the device and in this manual
(see Fig. 2). Where there are discrepancies between the
labelling and the instructions in this manual, labelling shall
always prevail.
•Together with the device, a PDU with several 10 and 16A
IEC output connectors with their respective circuit breaker
is supplied.
When the utility of the PDU is required to power the loads,
it will be necessary to connect its input cables to the output
of the UPS, respecting the following assignment:
Black or brown cable to phase U (L).
Red or blue cable to neutral (N).
Green-yellow cable to earth terminal ( ).
•With regard to the protection that must be placed at the
output of the UPS when the PDU is not used, we recommend
distributing the output power over at least four lines. Each of
them will have a circuit breaker with a value of one quarter
of the rated power. This type of output power distribution
will allow that in the event of a fault in any of the machines
connected to the equipment, which provokes a short circuit,
does not affect more than the line that is broken.
The remaining connected loads will have continuity
assured due to the tripping of the protection, only in the
line affected by the short circuit.
5.2.3. Connection to external batteries (backup extension).
•Failure to comply with the instructions in this
section and Safety Instructions EK266*08 car-
ries a high risk of electric shock and even death.
•SLC TWIN RT2 devices from 0.7 to 3 kVA incorporate the
batteries in the same box as the device, except for B0, B1
and higher power models.
•The battery protection of the device and of any accumulator
module is always by means of internal fuses that are not
accessible to the user.
•IMPORTANT FOR SAFETY: If batteries are installed
independently, the accumulator group must be fitted
with a bipolar circuit breaker or disconnect fuse of the size
indicated in Tab. 2.

Tab. 2. Protection features between device and battery
module.
•Before starting the connection process between
battery module or modules and device, check that
the device and loads are ‘Off’.
Also, when the batteries are installed by the user
independently, the protection fuse or isolator must be
deactivated.
•Connection of the battery module to the device is made by
means of a cable featuring polarised connectors at both
ends, which is supplied with the first one. Two connectors
are available for this purpose on the device and battery
module.
Similarly, the battery modules feature two connectors that
allow the linking of modules in parallel.
•Each battery module is independent for each device.
Two devices must not be connected to the
same battery module.
Likewise, in parallel systems (4 to 10 kVA models), with
each device connected to its battery module or modules,
they should be considered as single devices that are
independent of each other.
•Fig. 13 shows the connection of a 10 kVA device in a
rack arrangement with two battery modules. For a larger
number, proceed in a manner similar to those shown in the
illustration.
Fig. 13. Connection to battery modules.
5.2.4. Connection of the input earth terminal ( ) and the
earth connection terminal () .
•As the device has Class I protection against electric
shock, it is essential to install a protective earth
conductor (connect earth ( )). Connect this conductor
before supplying voltage to the input terminals.
Not applicable in models up to 3kVA, because the earth con-
nection is done through the AC power cord and regarding
the battery modules is done through the mesh available in
the cable bundle of them, being compulsory to fix the con-
nectors of both ends to the connectors fitted in the battery
case, by means of the supplied screws and duly tightened.
•Make sure that all of the loads connected to the UPS are only
connected to its earth connection terminal ( ). Failure to
limit the earthing of the load or loads and battery module or
modules to this single point will create earth return loops
that will degrade the quality of the power supplied.
•All terminals identified as an earth connection ( ) are
connected to each other, to the earth terminal ( ) and to
the device’s earth.
5.2.5. Terminals for EPO (emergency power off).
•The UPSs have two terminals for the installation of an
external emergency power off (EPO) output button.
•The device is dispatched from the factory with its EPO
circuit set to closed (NC) by default. In other words, the
UPS will cut the output power supply, emergency power
off, when the circuit is opened:
Either by removing the female connector from the socket
where it is inserted. This connector has a cable connected
as a jumper that closes the circuit (see Fig. 14-A).
Or by pressing the button external to the device
belonging to the user installed between the terminals
of the connector (see Fig. 14-B). The connection on the
button must be in the normally closed contact (NC), so
it will open the circuit when activated.
The reverse functionality can be selected through the
communications software and control panel.
Except for specific cases, we advise against this type
of connection in view of the purpose of the EPO button,
since it will not act upon an emergency request if either
of the two cables that run from the button to the UPS is
accidentally cut.
By contrast, this anomaly would immediately be detected
in a closed EPO circuit, with the inconvenience of an
unexpected cut in the powering of the loads, but a
guarantee of effective emergency functionality.
•To recover the normal operating state of the UPS, it is
necessary to insert the connector with the jumper in its
receptacle or deactivate the EPO button. The device will
be operational.

5.2.6. Terminals for digital input and output to relay. Only in
models with power ratings > 3 kVA.
•The device has a four-terminal connector for a digital input
and output to relay (see Fig. 15).
‘Start/Stop’ digital input. With the device running,
apply a sequential voltage of between 5 and 12 V DC to
reverse its state.
The static bypass function of the UPS is enabled
by default. In this condition, when the inverter
shuts down, the output terminals will supply voltage
through the internal static bypass.
Disable the bypass function through the control panel if
the output supply needs to be cut when giving the shut
down command.

5.2.7. Manual bypass auxiliary contact terminals. Only in
models with power ratings > 3 kVA.
•The SLC TWIN has a signal block through which it is
possible to activate the shut down command for the UPS’s
inverter when closing the circuit. This normally open
contact is intended for connection to an external manual
bypass switch or disconnector. (see Fig. 16).
•On the distribution boards with manual bypass that
we supply upon request, there is a two-terminal block
connected in parallel to the normally open auxiliary contact
of the board’s manual bypass switch or disconnector. The
manual bypass auxiliary contacts are of the advanced type
when closing.
•The connection between the auxiliary contact of the board
and the UPS or UPSs is in parallel. This way, any of the
auxiliary contacts that close the circuit will activate the
shut down command of the inverter, transferring the
powering of the loads to the internal static bypass, unless
this is disabled through the control panel, in which it will
cut the powering of the loads.
•In parallel systems, the distribution board’s manual
bypass switch or disconnector will have an auxiliary
contact block for each device. Under no circumstances
should the different contacts be joined together as this
would connect the different earths of the control of each
UPS.
•In the event of acquiring a manual bypass board
through another conduit, check that it has this
auxiliary contact and connect it to the terminal block of the
UPS or each device in parallel systems. The type of auxiliary
contact has to necessarily be advanced when closing.
•It is ESSENTIAL, as a safety measure for the
assembly, including the loads, to connect the UPS’s
auxiliary bypass contact to the block of the same
functionality on the manual bypass board. This will prevent
any incorrect action on the manual bypass disconnector
when the UPS is running from causing total or partial failure
of the system.
This is also applicable for systems in parallel.
Fig. 16. Terminal block for connection to the inverter shut-
down auxiliary contact of the manual bypass board.
5.2.8. Connection in parallel, only in models with power
ratings > 3 kVA.
5.2.8.1. Introduction in redundancy.
N+X is usually the most reliable power structure. N represents
the minimum number of devices that the total load needs; X re-
presents the number of redundant devices, that is, the number of
faulty UPSs that the system can simultaneously allow. The higher
X is, the greater the reliability of the system. For occasions where
reliability is essential, N+X will be the optimum mode.
Up to 3 devices can be connected in parallel to configure a
shared output or power redundancy.
5.2.8.2. Installation and operation in parallel.
•The communications line -COM- constitutes a very
low voltage safety circuit. To preserve the quality
must be installed separately from other lines carrying
dangerous voltages (power distribution line).
•Parallel connections and current signal bus.
Use the 15-wire signal cable with mesh and DB15
connectors at the ends to connect a maximum of 3 devices.
Each cable has a male and a female connector at the ends
which must be connected to link two devices. It is essential
to close the communications loop of the parallel bus and
the current signal bus through the cable with connectors
(see Fig. 17).
The length of the cables related to the parallel bus is ap-
prox. 1.5 metres and must not be prolonged under any
circumstances due to the risk of interference and communi-
cation failures that this would entail.

•When installing systems in parallel, it is necessary to
provide them with a board equipped with individual input
and output protections, as well as a manual bypass with
mechanical locking, see Fig. 18.
This protections board will enable a single device in the
system to be isolated in the event of a fault and the loads
to be powered with the rest during preventive maintenance
or repair. It also allows the removal of a device in parallel
and its replacement or reintegration once repaired without
interrupting the powering of the loads at any time, provided
that the power of the operational device permits it.
Upon request, we can supply a manual bypass board for a
two-device system in parallel.
•Follow the connection procedure for the input described in
section 5.2.1.
•Follow the connection procedure for the output (loads)
described in section 5.2.2.
•Follow the procedure established for the connection of the

•In parallel systems, the length and cross section of
the cables that run from the protections board to
each UPS and from the UPSs to the board will be the same
for all of them without exception.
In the worst case, the following deviations must be strictly
observed:
When the distance between the UPSs in parallel and
the circuit breaker board is less than 20 metres, the
difference in length between the input and output
cables of the device must be less than 20%.
When the distance between the UPSs in parallel and
the circuit breaker board is more than 20 metres, the
difference in length between the input and output
cables of the device must be less than 10%.
5.2.9. Communication port.
5.2.9.1. RS232 and USB port.
•The communications line -COM- constitutes a very
low voltage safety circuit. To preserve the quality
must be installed separately from other lines carrying
dangerous voltages (power distribution line).
•The RS232 and USB interfaces are useful for the monitoring
software and updating the firmware.
•It is not possible to use both the RS232 and USB ports at
the same time.
•The DB9 connector supplies the RS232 signals and, in
models up to 3 kVA, the normally open (NO) potential-free
contacts using optocouplers.
The maximum voltage and current applicable to these
contacts is 30V DC and 1A.
Also, there is a «Shutdown» input that allows turning off
the inverter, when a voltage between 10 a 12 V is applied
for 1 second at this input.
•The RS232 port consists of the transmission of serial data
in such a way that a large amount of information can be
sent through a communication cable with only 3 wires.
•The USB port is compatible with the USB 1.1 protocol for
communication software.

5.2.13. Considerations before start-up with connected loads.
•It is recommended to charge the batteries for at
least 12 hours before using the UPS for the first time.
For this, it will be necessary to supply voltage to the
device and turn the circuit breaker at the back to ‘On’.
The battery charger will work automatically.
For the battery modules.
For the models with batteries external to the device or
backup extension modules, it will also be necessary to
turn the fuse or circuit breaker of the batteries arranged
between each one to ‘On’.
•Although the device can operate correctly without charging
the batteries for the specified 12 hours, the risk of a
prolonged power cut during the first hours of operation and
the UPS’s available backup time should be assessed.
•Do not start up the device and loads completely until
indicated in Chapter 6.
When it is done, however, it should be carried out gradually
to avoid possible difficulties, if not at the first start-up.
•If, in addition to the more sensitive loads, it is necessary
to connect high-consumption inductive loads, such as for
laser printers or CRT monitors, the starting up of these
peripherals will need to be taken into account to prevent
the device from crashing.
For this type of load considered NON-PRIORITY, a group
of programmable terminals is available depending on the
model. Depending on the programming of these, the power
supply may or may not be affected in the event of mains
failure.

Then the main start screen will be displayed after a test
of the device.
On the 4 to 10 kVA models, it is necessary to press the
‘ON’ button for a second time, about 5 to 7 seconds after
the first press, for longer than 2 seconds.
•The UPS is set to ‘Battery mode’ after a few seconds.
Depending on the level of charge of the batteries, the
residual backup available may be very limited. Consider
the risk involved in operating without mains and
discharged batteries.
If the mains voltage returns, the UPS will transfer to
‘Normal mode’ without interrupting the power supply at
the output terminals.
•Start the load or loads, making sure that the rated power
of the device is not exceeded.
6.2.3. UPS shutdown with mains voltage.
•Shut down the load or loads.
•Press the ‘OFF’ button for more than 2 seconds to shut
down the inverter. The audible alarm will sound for 1
second. The device will be set to ‘Bypass mode’.

6.3. OPERATING PROCEDURE FOR A PARALLEL
SYSTEM (ONLY IN 4 TO 10 KVA MODELS).
•In parallel systems, check that the programming of
Output 2 is the same on all of them to avoid conflicts.
•The operating procedure established here is for devices
with a configuration determined by factory default.
•Check that the load or loads and/or the output circuit
breakers on the distribution board are ‘Off’.
•Turn “On” the input circuit breakers on the distribution
or manual bypass board and those on each UPS in 4 to
10 kVA.
25
The UPSs supply output voltage from the internal static
bypass of each unit. Observe the LCD screen of the
control panel for any warnings or error information.
Measure the output voltage at the terminals of each UPS
separately to check that the voltage difference between
them is less than 1 V. If the difference is greater than 1
V, check the connection and the associated instructions.
•If everything is correct, proceed. Press the ‘ON’ button
on all of the UPSs for more than 2 seconds and each
of them will start up. All of the UPSs will transfer to
‘Normal mode’.
Measure the output voltage at the terminals of each UPS
separately to check that the voltage difference between
them is less than 0.5 V. If the difference is greater than
1 V, the UPSs will need to be adjusted (contact T.S.S.).
•If everything is correct, proceed. Press the ‘OFF’ button
for more than 2 seconds on all of the UPSs and each of
them will begin to shut down the device.
Turn the input circuit breakers on the distribution or
manual bypass board to ‘On’. The output terminals on
the distribution board will be under potential through
the static bypass of the device.
•Press the ‘ON’ button for more than 0.5 seconds on all
of the UPSs and each one of them will begin to start up
in order to finally leave the system in parallel operation
in ‘Normal mode’.
•Start the load or loads.
•Do not leave a floating UPS with respect to the
others. There must always be a connection
between the neutrals, either input or output. Do not
open the input and output circuit breakers of a UPS at
the same time on the distribution board while the UPS
running. Otherwise, a fault in the UPS may occur and the
connected loads may shut down
6.4. HOW TO ADD A UPS TO A SYSTEM IN PARALLEL
OPERATION OR TO A FUNCTIONING SINGLE
UPS (ONLY IN 4 TO 10 KVA MODELS).
•To operate the parallel system, it is necessary to have a
manual bypass board for the parallel system.
In the event of not having one, the shutdown of the entire
system and the loads powered by it must be anticipated.
•The steps to follow are for the addition of a device to
a system with two units. To incorporate a device into
a system with only one UPS, proceed in the same way.
•The distribution board must have input and output
switches for each UPS, in addition to the one for the
manual bypass. Otherwise, it will be necessary to
adapt the board or acquire a new one if it has not been
previously anticipated.
•Since it is necessary to change the parallel bus
connection to incorporate the new device into the system
(cable with DB15 connectors), it will be necessary to
switch the powering of the loads to the manual bypass.
Proceed as follows:
Press the ‘OFF’ button on all of the UPSs for more
than 2 seconds to shut down the inverter in all of
them. The audible alarm will sound for 1 second. The
devices that make up the current parallel system will
switch to ‘Bypass mode’.
Switch the devices to manual bypass.
1. Remove the mechanical lock on the distribution
board’s manual bypass switch or disconnector
and turn it to ‘On’.
Take into consideration that in ‘Bypass mode’
(with the switch turned to ‘BYPASS’), the
loads will be exposed to voltage and frequency
variations and cuts or micro-cuts in mains power, so,
if possible, it is recommended to choose a day with
lower probability of failure (days without
fluctuations, days without storms, etc.) and a certain
speed in the process.
Turn the input circuit breakers of each device to ‘Off’.
Turn the input and output circuit breakers of the
board to ‘Off’.
•Before incorporating the new TWIN RT2 into the system,
carry out the appropriate steps to leave it in the same
condition as the others (input switch turned to ‘Off’).
•Incorporate the new UPS to the system following the
procedure established in section 5.2.8.2 for connection
in parallel.
•Disconnect the communication bus between the first
and last device, and reconnect it including the new UPS.
The bus must be closed for proper operation.
•Turn the input circuit breakers of each UPS on the
distribution board to ‘On’.
•Turn the input circuit breakers of each UPS to ‘On’.
The output switches of each UPS on the distribution
board must be open.
The UPSs supply output voltage from the internal static
bypass of each unit. Observe the LCD screen of the
control panel for any warnings or error information.
Measure the output voltage at the terminals of each UPS
separately to check that the voltage difference between
them is less than 1 V. If the difference is greater than 1 V,
check the connection and the associated instructions.
•If everything is correct, proceed. Press the ‘ON’ button
on all of the UPSs for more than 2 seconds and each
of them will start up. All of the UPSs will transfer to
‘Normal mode’.
Measure the output voltage at the terminals of each UPS
separately to check that the voltage difference between
them is less than 0.5 V. If the difference is greater than
1 V, the UPSs will need to be adjusted (contact T.S.S.).
•If everything is correct, proceed. Press the ‘OFF’ button
on all of the UPSs for more than 2 seconds and each of
them will begin to shut down the device.
Turn the output circuit breakers on the distribution board
to ‘On’. The output terminals on the board will be under
potential through the static bypass of the devices, the
same potential as the manual bypass line.
•Turn the manual bypass switch or disconnector on the
distribution board to ‘Off’ and reposition the mechanical
lock to prevent possible accidents
•To prevent incorrect operations, it is necessary to
fit the mechanical lock of the manual bypass and
their fixing screws.
•Press the ‘ON’ button on all of the UPSs for more than 2
seconds and each of them will start up, in order to finally
leave the system in parallel operation in ‘Normal mode’.

Tab. 8. Parameter 1 codes list. Description and settings
7.2.4.1. Ah configuration of parameter ‘12’.
•Standard models are configured with factory default
settings, so it is not necessary to perform any actions to
adjust this parameter.
For extended backup and B1 models, however, it is
necessary to adjust the value to the total capacity of the
battery pack. Any alteration of the battery pack will entail a
readjustment, so it will be necessary to adapt the value in
the event of future expansions.
•There are basically two reasons to perform the adjustment
without it affecting the correct functioning of the device if it
is not done, although it is more than recommended:
a. The charging current of the batteries is directly related
to the capacity of the battery pack.
The charger will adapt the charging factor automatically
according to the value of the total capacity entered, up
to the maximum of the current that is possible.
This results in faster charging and therefore greater
availability and more immediate backup in the event of
frequent mains failures.
b. Entering the value in Ah is vital for the control to be
able to calculate and show the backup available on the
LCD display, without further alterations.
The settings values are determined as follows:
1. Devices with backup extension.
They are configured by a standard model plus the battery
module or modules. The capacity of the batteries of both
are indicated in the following Tab. 9 and Tab. 10.
Example for an SLC 1500 TWIN RT2 and backup extension
module 698BU000003:
9 Ah + 18 Ah = 27 Ah (value for parameter 12).

the output voltage between phase and neutral:
–208, 220, 230 or 240 V.
•Code 02 - Output frequency.
Fig. 28.
Parameter 2 setting: Output frequency.
It is possible to choose one of the following values:
–50 Hz, 60 Hz or ATO.
With ATO selected, the output frequency is auto-
detected according to the normal input at the time
of connection of the device to the mains.
If it is between 46 and 54 Hz, it will be set at 50
Hz, and, if it is between 56 and 64 Hz, at 60 Hz. The
factory default setting is ATO.
Parameter 3 setting: Frequency mode.
Output frequency in CF mode or not CF mode setting. It
is possible to choose between two options:
–CF. Sets the UPS to CF mode. With this option ac-
tivated, the output frequency is set to 50 or 60 Hz
based on the parameter 2 selection. The input fre-
quency can be 46 to 64 Hz.
–NCF. Sets the UPS to normal mode (not CF mode).
With this option activated, the output frequency
is set at 50 or 60 Hz synchronised with the input
frequency based on the parameter 2 selection and
its range.
If the parameter 2 selection is 50 or 60 Hz, it will be
transferred to battery mode (powering loads) when
the frequency is not respectively between 46 and
54 Hz or 56 and 64 Hz.
(*) If ATO is selected in parameter 2, parameter 3 will
display the current frequency.

–FBD. When selecting this option, operation in
bypass mode is not permitted in any condition.
Parameter 3 setting:
–ENA. Bypass enabled. When selected, bypass
mode is enabled.
–DIS. Bypass disabled. If selected, automatic bypass
is permitted but not manual switch to bypass.
At this point, manual switch to bypass is understood
as being that which users perform on the UPS. For
example, pressing the OFF button on the front of the
device when it is in AC mode transfers the load to
the static bypass.
•Code 09 - Maximum battery discharge time setting.

•Code 17 -Battery module number setting.
Fig. 36.
In standard devices with internal batteries or B1 devices,
it sets the value to the total number of battery modules
including the one belonging to the standard device,
unless it is a B1 which does not have accumulators.
–Sets parameter 3 to the number of battery modules.
The setting allows values from 0 to 7 and the
default setting is 0.
When external batteries are installed independently,
equivalence must be found in order to determine the
value to be entered in this variable. Proceed as follows
to define the value:
–Divide the Ahs of the installed batteries between 7
Ah for the 4 to 6 kVA models and between 9 Ah for
the 8 and 10 kVA models. If the value obtained is
not exact, round down.
Example:
SLC 5000 TWIN RT2 device with an external battery
pack of 45 Ah belonging to it.
45 Ah / 7 Ah = 6.4
When rounding down, value ‘6’ must be entered in
parameter 3.
•The basic reason for adjusting the setting is as follows,
without it affecting the correct functioning of the device if
it is not done, although it is more than recommended:
The charging current of the batteries is directly related to
the capacity of the battery pack.
The charger will adapt the charging factor automatically
according to the value of the total capacity entered, up to
the maximum of the current that is possible.
This results in faster charging and therefore greater
availability and more immediate backup in the event of
frequent mains failures.
Any alteration of the battery pack will entail a readjustment,
so it will be necessary to adapt the value in the event of
future expansions.

8. MAINTENANCE, WARRANTY AND SERVICE.
8.1. BATTERY MAINTENANCE.
•Pay attention to all of the safety instructions concerning
batteries indicated in section 1.2.3. of manual EK266*08.
•The service life of the batteries greatly depends on the
ambient temperature and other factors such as the number
of charges and discharges, as well as their depth.
The service life is designed to be between 3 and 5 years
if the ambient temperature to which they are exposed
is between 10 and 20ºC. Different types of battery with
different service lives are available upon request.
•SLC TWIN RT2 series UPSs require minimum upkeep.
The batteries used in the standard models are lead acid,
sealed, valve regulated and maintenance free. The only
requirement is to charge the batteries regularly to extend
their life expectancy.
While the UPS is connected to the mains supply, whether or
not it is running, it will keep the batteries charged and also
offer protection from overcharging and deep discharge.
8.1.1. Notes for the installation and replacement of the
battery.
•If it is necessary to replace any connection cables,
original materials can be purchased through our T.S.S. or
authorised distributors. Using inappropriate cables can
lead to overheating in connections, which is a fire hazard.
•Inside the device, there are permanent dangerous
voltages even without mains supply present through
its connection with the batteries and especially in UPSs
where the electronics and batteries share a box.
It is therefore irrelevant if the input circuit breaker of the
distribution board and/or that of the input of the device in
models with power ratings > 3 kVA is turned to ‘Off’.
Also take into consideration that the battery circuit is
not isolated from the input voltage, so there is a risk of
discharge with dangerous voltages between the battery
terminals and the earth terminal, which is in turn connected
to earth (any metal part of the device).
•Repair and/or maintenance work must be carried out by our
T.S.S., except for the replacement of batteries, which can
be performed by qualified personnel familiar with them. No
other person should handle them.
Depending on the configuration of the UPS, certain actions
need to be carried out before handling the batteries:
Devices with batteries and electronics sharing the
same box.
–Shut down the loads and device completely.
–Disconnect the SLC TWIN RT2 from the mains.
–Open the device to access the interior.
–Remove the fuse or internal battery fuses.
–Release the battery holders and replace the
batteries.
–Perform the above steps in reverse to return the
device to how it was at the start, including start-up.
UPS with batteries and electronics in separate boxes.
–Shut down the loads and device completely.
–Disconnect the SLC TWIN RT2 from the mains.
–Disconnect the battery module from the UPS.
–Open the battery module to access the interior.
–Remove the fuse or internal battery fuses.
–Release the battery holders and replace the
batteries.
–Perform the above steps in reverse to return the
device to how it was at the start, including start-up.
8.2. UPS TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.

9.2. GLOSSARY.
•AC.- Alternating current is electric current in which the
magnitude and direction vary cyclically. The waveform of
the most commonly used alternating current is that of a sine
wave, since this achieves a more efficient transmission of
energy. In certain applications, however, other periodic
waveforms are used, such as triangular or square.
•Bypass.- Manual or automatic, this is the physical
connection between the input of an electrical device and
its output.
•DC.- Direct current is the continuous flow of electrons through
a conductor between two points with different potential.
Unlike AC, in DC, electrical loads always circulate in the
same direction from the point of greatest potential to the
lowest. Although DC is commonly identified as a continuous
current (for example, that supplied by a battery), any current
that always maintains the same polarity is continuous.
•DSP.- Digital signal processor. A DSP is a processor or
microprocessor-based system that has a set of instructions,
hardware and optimised software for applications that
require numerical operations at very high speed. Because
of this, it is especially useful for the processing and
representation of analogue signals in real time: in a system
that works in this way (real time) samples are usually
received from an analogue/digital converter (ADC).
•Power factor.- The power factor, PF, of an AC circuit is
defined as the ratio between active power, P, and apparent
power, S, or as the cosine of the angle formed by the current
and voltage factors, designated in this case as cos f, where
f is the value of the angle.
•GND.- This stands for GROUND or EARTH and, as the name
indicates, refers to the potential of the surface of the Earth.
•EMI filter.- Filter capable of significantly reducing
electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is the disturbance
that occurs in a radio receiver or in any other electrical
45
circuit caused by electromagnetic radiation coming from an
external source. Electromagnetic interference is also known
as radio frequency interference (RFI). This disturbance can
interrupt, degrade or limit the performance of the circuit.
•IGBT.- An insulated gate bipolar transistor is a
semiconductor device that is generally used as a controlled
switch in power electronics circuits. This device possesses
the characteristics of the gate signals of field effect
transistors with the capacity for high current and low
saturation voltage of the bipolar transistor, combining
an isolated FET gate for input and control and a bipolar
transistor as a single switch in a single device. The IGBT’s
excitation circuit is similar to that of the MOSFET, while the
conducting characteristics are similar to those of the BJT.
•Interface.- In electronics, telecommunications and
hardware, an interface (electronics) is the port (physical
circuit) through which signals are sent or received from one
system or subsystem to another
•kVA.- A volt-ampere is the unit used for apparent power in
electrical current. In DC, it is practically equal to real power
but, in AC, it can differ from this depending on the power factor.
•LCD.-Liquid crystal display, a device invented by Jack
Janning, who was an employee of NCR. It is an electrical
system for data presentation formed by 2 transparent
conductive layers and a special crystalline material in the
middle (liquid crystal) which have the ability to orientate
light as it passes through.
•LED.- Light-emitting diode, a semiconductor device (diode)
that emits light that is almost monochromatic, that is to
say, it has a very narrow spectrum when it is polarised
directly and is penetrated by an electric current. The colour
(wavelength) depends on the semiconductor material
used in the construction of the diode, and can vary from
ultraviolet, passing through the visible light spectrum, to
infrared, the latter called IRED (infra-red emitting diode).
•Circuit breaker.- A circuit breaker is a device capable
of interrupting the electrical current of a circuit when it
exceeds certain maximum values.
•On-line mode.- A device is said to be on-line when it is
connected to a system, is operative, and normally has its
power supply connected.
•Inverter.- An inverter is a circuit used to convert DC into AC.
The function of an inverter is to change a DC input voltage
to a symmetrical AC output voltage, with the magnitude
and frequency desired by the user or designer.
•Rectifier.- In electronics, a rectifier is the element or
circuit that converts AC into DC. This is done by using
rectifier diodes, whether solid state semiconductors,
vacuum valves or gaseous valves, such as those containing
mercury vapour. Depending on the characteristics of the AC
power that they use, they are classified as single-phase
when they are powered by a mains phase or three-phase
when they are powered by three phases. Depending on the
type of rectification, they can be half wave when only one
of the half cycles of the current is used or full wave when
both half cycles are used.
•Relay.- A relay is an electromechanical device that
functions as a switch controlled by an electrical circuit
in which, by means of an electromagnet, a set of one or
several contacts is activated to enable other independent
electrical circuits to be opened or closed.
•SCR.- Silicon controlled rectifier, commonly known as a
thyristor, a 4-layer semiconductor device that works as an
almost ideal switch.
•THD.- Total harmonic distortion. Harmonic distortion
occurs when the output signal of a system does not equal
the signal that entered it. This lack of linearity affects the
waveform because the device has introduced harmonics
that were not in the input signal. Since they are harmonic,
that is to say, multiples of the input signal, this distortion is
not so dissonant and is less easy to detect.
