4.5.5. ECO mode.
In addition to normal mode and bypass mode, it is possible to
activate ECO mode, in order to obtain greater overall system
efficiency than normal mode. The downside is that the degree
of protection for critical loads will be lower than normal mode
(although greater than bypass mode).
In this operating mode, the output voltage is supplied by the
static bypass via the emergency (or bypass) line, and the in-
verter converter will be stopped, ready to restart and connect to
the output when a bypass voltage outside of the programmed
ranges is detected.
In the moments of transition (automatic transfer of the
output, from the bypass to the voltage generated by the
inverter), voltage dips can occur at the output of a few milliseconds
(from 2 to 4 ms) that the critical loads must be capable of tolerating
in order to make ECO mode viable. In addition, it must be taken into

4.5.6. Frequency converter mode
When operating in this mode, activated by configuration, the
unit supplies a fixed output frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, which may
be different to the input frequency. It consists of an operating
mode derived from normal mode, as double conversion is per-
formed, AC/DC rectifier and DC/AC inverter running.
When operating in this mode, the UPS static bypass is disabled,
and may not even be physically present in the unit construction
account that some of the bypass line disturbances can reach crit-
ical loads in a "transparent" way, either because they cannot be
detected or due to the delay in their detection and the connection
of the inverter to the output.
The increase in efficiency (of b2%~3%) is due to the
fact that while the bypass line is connected to the output, the
inverter is stopped, therefore the conduction and switching
losses of this converter are avoided.
Even when in bypass, the rectifier will remain in operation, with
the aim of the DC bus being within the operating ranges of the
inverter, allowing a quick intervention of the latter. In turn, the
charger will carry out periodic start-stop cycles for greater effi-
ciency of the system averaged over time, always monitoring the
possible self-discharge of the batteries and recharging them
when necessary.
(if a frequency converter has been specifically ordered from the
factory). The manual bypass switch (if present) should also not
be actuated due to the possible impact on the loads connected
at the output.
The presence of batteries (and charger) is optional for this type
of unit.
