1.2 Radio Frequency Interference
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules and the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department of
Communications. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user
will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

1.3 Theory of Operation
This high-performance, line-interactive, uninterruptible power source (UPS) provides clean, reliable, AC power to computer systems and other electrical equipment — protecting them from
power blackouts, brownouts, swells, sags, surges, and interference. It is designed to provide protection for equipment that operates on 208 volts AC, as well as peripheral equipment requiring 120
volts AC.
The UPS requires single phase 208 volts AC input for proper operation. Typically, this is supplied
by connecting the UPS to two phases of a three phase 208V delta or 120V wye service.
The primary output is single phase 208 volt AC. An auxiliary 400VA, (3.3 amps), 120 volt AC output is provided to receptacles on the rear panel by an internal isolation transformer with the output neutral grounded.
When the front panel display or the optional software report the amount of load, the load on the
120 VAC output is not reported separately, but it is included in the total load. This means that the
120 VAC load is accounted for when calculations are made to determine the amount of run time
remaining.
Note: Any load on the 120 volt output reduces the maximum load that can be powered by the
208 volt output.
Note: The 120 VAC output is provided by an isolation transformer which adds resistance in se-
ries with the equipment to be powered. As a result, the 120 VAC output variation due to
load (expressed as a percentage of nominal output) will be greater than the 208V output it
is powered from. This should not be a problem for most equipment that will be powered.
See Section 12 for more information.
Normally, the UPS operates “on-line,” supplying power from the utility input to the load (work-
station, server, or other device). The converter circuitry is used to maintain an optimal float
charge level on the battery.
When the utility fails, the converter supplies AC power to the load and the disconnect switch
opens. The loads operate normally until shut down or until the battery is exhausted. The UPS automatically transfers the load back to utility power when the line voltage returns to normal.
The UPS also provides surge protection and EMI/RFI filtering, as well as Smart-Boost™ and
SmartTrim™, which correct high and low input voltage without drawing power from the battery.
Output control uses the UPS’s remote interface to turn the load on or off, without disabling other
UPS functions.

1.4 Features
Intelligent Battery Management
The UPS provides visual and audible indications of the battery’s present status including capacity,
low battery condition, and replace battery condition.
The UPS exercises the battery during its self-test, and detects a weak battery before it is put into
service. The UPS normally performs a self-test at power up and every 14 days. Self-tests can also be
conducted manually with the on/test button at any time.
The UPS features user-replaceable batteries. Batteries can be replaced without having to remove
power from the loads or send the UPS in for service.
Computer Interface and Accessory Slot
Advanced monitoring, power management, and customizing functions are available through the
computer interface and accessory slot. See section 7 for more information.

2. Safety
CAUTION!
■ To reduce the risk of electric shock in conditions where load equipment grounding cannot be
verified, disconnect the UPS from the AC power outlet before installing a computer interface
or accessory slot signal cable. Reconnect the power cord only after all signaling connections
are made.
■ Connect the UPS to a two-pole, three-wire grounding AC power outlet. The receptacle must
be connected to appropriate branch protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to any
other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard and violate local electrical codes.
■ The UPS has an internal energy source (the battery). The output may be energized when the
unit is not connected to an AC power outlet.
■ To deenergize the outputs of the UPS, first press the Off button for more than one second to
switch the UPS off. Next disconnect the UPS from the AC power outlet. To deenergize the
UPS completely, disconnect the battery. See section 10.
■ This UPS’s protective Earth conductor carries the leakage current from the load devices (com-
puter equipment). This UPS generates approximately 1.5 mA of leakage current. To ensure a
safe limit of 3.5 mA, limit the total leakage current of the load devices to 2 mA.
■ Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reason-
ably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly effect its
safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
