Recommended source connections
The UPS must be supplied from a 208Y/120V 4W + GND 60Hz source.
CAUTION!
Verify clockwise phase-rotation (L1, L2, L3) and make sure a neutral connection is
present.
See also Recommended Wiring for a 86°F (30°C) Temperature Environment.

Note 1:
If the available fault current of the installation is below 30kA, a lower kAIC-rated breaker can be
used.
Note 2:
For breaker settings, refer to below table listing available overload currents.
Note 3:
If the available fault current of the installation is less than 1200A for the 10kVA and 15kVA UPS
sizes, and below 2300A for the 20kVA and 30kVA UPS sizes, a breaker (of the same value as for the
bypass input) can be used.
Note 4:
Recommended maximum rating of a single-fuse configuration if the internal bypass is to be protected
during a load short-circuit.

Total-Power-Off Procedure
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock - parts inside the UPS and XR Enclosure are energized from the
battery supply even when the AC power is disconnected. Before electrical installation
begins, follow the Total-Power-Off procedure to completely de-energize the system.

The general charge setting is set to 100% as default.
From the Display it is possible to adjust the charge levels to 75%, 50%, 25%, 10% and 0%.
If the charge limit input is active (J106, pins 7,8) the UPS will reduce the maximum General Charge
effect (100%) to the programmed value.
See XR Enclosure, MBP, and Generator Control Wiring for overview of J106.

Leveling Feet
Verify that the installation has been electrically wired before setting the leveling feet.
Setting the leveling feet
Set the leveling feet to ensure the UPS is horizontal when it is in its final operating position. Use a 13/
14-mm wrench (shipped with UPS) to adjust all 4 leveling feet from front to back, and left to right,
until the pads make solid contact with the floor. Use a level tube to check the Enclosure is horizontal.
13/14-mm wre nch
CAUTION!
To avoid equipment damage, do not push or pull the UPS after the leveling feet have
been lowered.
Remember to install the Front Panel. See Front Panel section.
If Floor Anchoring and Battery Securing are required, carry out these procedures first.

Floor Anchoring (option)
Floor anchoring is an option. If your installation does not include this option,
proceed to the Front Panel Installation section.
Floor anchoring of stand-alone systems
In seismic areas, it is recommended that the installation be bolted to the floor, and that the batteries be
secured in the Enclosure by the Battery Securing Brackets.
For floor anchoring, use the 2 transport brackets that were used to secure the UPS to the pallet
during transport.
