3.7 Paralleling the units
Up to 2 UPS units can be connected in parallel with
PowerValue 11 RT 6-10 kVA to obtain output power sharing
and power redundancy.
3.7.1 Output wiring requirements

The following requirements must be met for output wiring:
• When the distance between the UPS in parallel and the
breaker panel is lower than 10 meters, the length difference
between input and output cables of the UPS must be lower
than 20%.
• When the distance between the UPS in parallel and the
breaker panel is more than 10 meters, the length difference
between input and output cables of the UPS must be lower
than 5%.
3.7.2 Installing a new parallel system

To install a new parallel UPS system:
1. Prepare the input and output wires, the input and output
breakers and the parallel cable. For more information, see
Chapter 3.4.2
2. Parallel the units with the 15-pin communication cable
provided with the UPS.
3. Connect the External Battery modules independently to
each UPS.
4. Connect the input and output wires as shown in Figure 27.
Note that all breakers should be opened.

for the two parallel UPS.
6. Keep the power-on button pressed for longer than 1
second in one UPS. The system will start up and go to

7. Regulate the output voltage of each UPS separately and
check that the output voltage difference between the two
UPS units is lower than 0.5V.
• If the output voltage difference is higher than 0.5V, the
UPS voltage needs to be regulated.
• If the output voltage difference is lower than 0.5V,

recommended for sensitive loads.
In converter-mode, the UPS runs with fixed output frequency (50Hz or 60Hz). In case of a mains failure,
the UPS transfers to battery-mode and the load is supplied continuously.

5 Communication
A USB and an RS-232 port are available to enable the

communication between the UPS and a remote computer/
station. Only one communication port can be active at a time
and the priority is given to the USB port.
Once the communication cable is installed, the power
management software can exchange information with the
UPS. The software collects information from the UPS and Figure 39: RS-232 Communication Port (DB-9 Connector)
indicates the status of the device, the power quality of the
mains and the battery autonomy of the units.
