Product introduction

The Hitachi PS6000 is a high – performance industrial uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, designed to safeguard critical industrial equipment and systems from power disruptions. In today’s industrial landscape, where even a momentary power outage can lead to significant production losses, data corruption, and equipment damage, the PS6000 serves as a reliable safeguard.

With a rated power of 6000 VA (4800 W), the Hitachi PS6000 can power a wide array of industrial devices, from programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and computer – controlled machinery to sensitive measurement instruments. Its wide input voltage and frequency ranges ensure compatibility with diverse power grids, while the selectable output voltage options allow for seamless integration into existing industrial setups. When power interruptions occur, the PS6000 swiftly switches to battery power within milliseconds, ensuring continuous operation of connected equipment and minimizing the impact on industrial processes.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Rapid power backup and reliable operation

The Hitachi PS6000 excels in providing immediate power backup. With a transfer time of ≤ 4 ms, it can detect power outages and switch to battery – powered output almost instantaneously. This rapid response is crucial for protecting industrial equipment that cannot tolerate even brief power interruptions, such as high – speed manufacturing machinery or data – processing servers in industrial control rooms. The use of sealed lead – acid batteries ensures consistent and reliable power delivery during backup mode. These batteries are designed for long – term durability and require minimal maintenance, providing peace of mind to industrial operators.

Flexible power management

The PS6000 offers flexible power management features. Its selectable output voltage (220 VAC / 230 VAC / 240 VAC) allows it to adapt to different industrial power requirements, making it suitable for use across various regions and applications. The ability to synchronize the output frequency with the input (50 Hz or 60 Hz) ensures stable power supply to frequency – sensitive equipment. Additionally, the UPS system can be configured to manage power distribution based on the priority of connected devices, ensuring that critical equipment receives power first during extended outages.

Comprehensive communication capabilities

Equipped with multiple communication interfaces, including RS – 232, USB, and optional SNMP, the Hitachi PS6000 enables seamless integration with industrial monitoring and control systems. Through these interfaces, operators can remotely monitor the UPS’s status, such as battery level, input/output voltage, and load percentage. SNMP support allows for integration into network – based management systems, enabling centralized monitoring and control of multiple UPS units across large industrial complexes. This level of connectivity enhances the overall manageability of the industrial power infrastructure and enables proactive maintenance and fault – detection.

Robust protection features

The PS6000 comes with a suite of robust protection features. Overvoltage, undervoltage, and short – circuit protection safeguard both the UPS system and the connected equipment from electrical faults. The IP20 protection rating ensures protection against dust and accidental contact with internal components, making it suitable for typical industrial environments. In the event of abnormal operating conditions, the UPS can automatically shut down to prevent damage, while also providing detailed diagnostic information through its communication interfaces to aid in troubleshooting.

Typical application scenarios

Manufacturing industry

In a manufacturing plant, the Hitachi PS6000 is essential for protecting critical production equipment. For instance, it can power CNC machines, ensuring that ongoing machining operations are not disrupted by power outages. Any interruption during the machining of high – precision parts can lead to costly scrap and production delays. The PS6000 also safeguards PLCs that control the entire manufacturing process. These controllers manage the sequencing of production steps, and a power outage could cause them to lose their programming or disrupt the production line’s synchronization. By providing backup power, the PS6000 helps maintain production continuity and product quality.

Data centers and server rooms

Industrial data centers and server rooms within manufacturing plants or other industrial facilities rely on the PS6000 to protect their valuable data and computing infrastructure. Server systems house critical business data, production schedules, and control algorithms. A power outage can lead to data corruption, system crashes, and loss of service. The Hitachi PS6000 ensures that servers remain operational during power interruptions, allowing for proper shutdown procedures to be executed and preventing data loss. Its communication capabilities also enable IT administrators to monitor the UPS status remotely and receive alerts in case of any issues, ensuring proactive management of the data center’s power supply.

Process control and automation systems

In process control industries such as chemical plants and oil refineries, the PS6000 plays a vital role in maintaining the stability of automation systems. These systems rely on a network of sensors, actuators, and control units to monitor and regulate complex industrial processes. Power disruptions can cause incorrect process settings, leading to safety hazards or product quality issues. The PS6000 provides backup power to these automation components, ensuring that process parameters are continuously monitored and controlled. It also allows for a smooth transition back to mains power once the outage is resolved, minimizing the impact on the overall production process.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation

Before installing the Hitachi PS6000, choose a suitable location that is clean, dry, and well – ventilated. Ensure the ambient temperature is within the 0 °C – 40 °C operating range. Verify that the input power source matches the specified 110 – 270 VAC range and has a frequency within 47 – 63 Hz. Use appropriate electrical cables and connectors rated for the UPS’s power capacity. When handling the unit, lift it carefully using proper lifting techniques due to its weight (35 kg). Mount the PS6000 on a stable surface or in a rack if it is rack – mountable, ensuring it is securely positioned. Take precautions to prevent dust and debris from entering the unit during installation.

Commissioning process

After installation, perform a visual inspection to check for any signs of damage during transit and ensure all connections are tight. Connect the UPS to the input power source and then to the load equipment. Power on the PS6000 and allow it to initialize. Check the LCD display or control panel for any error messages or abnormal status indicators. Use the built – in settings menu or a connected monitoring device (via RS – 232, USB, etc.) to configure the output voltage, frequency, and other relevant parameters according to the requirements of the connected equipment. Conduct a test of the battery backup function by simulating a power outage (if safe to do so) and verifying that the UPS switches to battery power and the connected equipment continues to operate without interruption. Monitor the unit for a period to ensure stable operation and make any necessary adjustments.

Maintenance suggestions

For regular maintenance of the PS6000, perform monthly visual inspections to check for signs of physical damage, loose connections, or battery leakage. Clean the unit’s exterior and ventilation openings to remove dust and debris, which can affect its cooling performance. Monitor the battery status regularly, checking the battery voltage and level of charge through the UPS’s control panel or monitoring software. Over time, batteries will degrade, and it is recommended to replace them according to the manufacturer’s guidelines (usually every 3 – 5 years depending on usage and environmental conditions). Test the UPS’s transfer function periodically to ensure it switches to battery power within the specified time. If the PS6000 has optional SNMP or network connectivity, regularly update the firmware to benefit from the latest security patches and performance improvements. In case of any malfunction, refer to the detailed troubleshooting guide provided in the product manual, and when replacing components, use only genuine Hitachi parts to maintain the UPS’s performance and warranty.
