1.0 Introduction
1.1 Overview
This equipment is a high-performance, line-interactive, uninterruptible
power source (UPS) designed to provide clean, reliable, AC power to
computer loads. The UPS’s line-interactive circuit topology (see figure
below) offers excellent efficiency, on-line voltage regulation, and fast utility
fault response.
The UPS’s DC-to-AC inverter is always connected to the output and when
operating on-line, part of the inverter circuitry is used “in reverse” to
continuously maintain optimum float charge on the battery. The inverter
also protects the load from surges and EMI/RFI noise as part of an advanced hybrid surge suppression and filtering network.
A unique mode of operation, called SmartBoost, regulates the load voltage
by compensating for brownouts or sags without drawing power from the
UPS’s battery. The UPS continuously monitors the line for utility failure
and prepares the inverter frequency for synchronous transfer of the load.
When a utility voltage failure occurs such as a blackout, severe brownout,
or an overvoltage condition, the UPS transfers the load to battery power.
Transfer to “on-battery” operation typically takes place within 2 milliseconds. The inverter’s output voltage waveshape is a low distortion sine
wave. Resynchronization and transfer back to on-line operation is automatic when the line voltage returns to within normal limits.

1.0 Introduction
1.2 SmartBoost
SmartBoost allows continuous, on-line operation during extended brownouts or low line voltage conditions. The UPS compensates for reduced line
voltage by boosting the load voltage to 12% above the input. This enhances
UPS reliability because the battery is saved for complete utility failure.
1.3 Battery replacement indicators and test
The UPS provides visual and audible Replace Battery indications, based on
a load test of the battery. The UPS exercises its battery during a startup selftest, and can detect a weak battery before it is put into service. In longterm, unattended operation the UPS automatically conducts this self test
every 14 days.
1.4 Remote interfaces
The UPS has a remote interface capable of full bidirectional RS-232 communications. The RS-232 port can be used with PowerDoctor UPS monitoring
software on a local DOS PC to log power quality data. PowerChute plus
offers all the features of PowerDoctor, plus the ability to execute orderly
and unattended network or multi-user computer system shutdowns during
an extended power outage.
A Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) adapter is available for
remote load monitoring and management across Ethernet or Token Ring
networks capable of routing IP messages. With a standard Network Management System (NMS) and the SNMP Adapter, you can manage multiple
UPSs with a single interface—from across the building or across the world.
1.5 Extended capabilities
Advanced monitoring, power management, and operation customizing
functions are available through the UPS’s remote interface. Monitored
parameters include available run time, line voltage and frequency, output
power and voltage, battery capacity and voltage, and internal temperature.
Power management functions include scheduled shutdown, power failure
simulation, and remote turn off. User customized functions include the
automatic self-test and low-battery warning intervals; shutdown, turn-off
and turn-on delay intervals; transfer voltage; utility-fault sensitivity; and
audible alarm activation.

4.3.1 Connect UPS to service
■ 100, 120 Vac versions
Plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire grounding receptacle only. Avoid
the use of extension cords and adapter plugs.
■ 220/230/240 Vac version
The 220/230/240 Vac version UPS is not furnished with an input line cord.
Instead, two output cords are supplied. However, in most installations you
will not need to purchase a UPS input power cord. Simply swap the line
cords from your equipment with the furnished output cords, and plug in
the UPS using one of the equipment cords.
If your equipment does not have a removable line cord, the provided
rewireable plug may be installed on the line cord. Additional output cords
and adapter plugs are available from your dealer and from the factory.
The UPS may be configured to operate where 240 Vac, 50 Hz service is
provided. When Option Switch 2 is set to the on (down) position, the UPS’s
transfer and on-battery output voltages are adjusted for proper operation
on 240 Vac service (see Sec. 5.4).

4.0 Installation
4.3.2 Charge the batteries
The UPS recharges its batteries whenever it is plugged into a working
outlet. Allow the UPS to charge its battery for at least 5 hours before use.
The UPS was shipped from the factory with the batteries fully charged, but
the batteries may lose some charge during shipping and storage. You may
use the UPS without charging, but the Low-battery indicator may light and
backup time may be reduced until the batteries have charged.
4.4 Auto-on operation
The UPS’s Auto-on feature allows you to turn on the UPS and connected
equipment using the power control of any device plugged into the Master
outlet.
For example, if your computer has a conveniently located power control
(on the front panel or keyboard), this switch can turn on the UPS and all
the equipment connected to it. In this case, you would plug the computer
into the Master outlet on the rear of the UPS. You would then plug your
monitor and other peripherals into the accessory outlets (see figure).
