IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important instructions which must be followed during the installation,
operation and maintenance of this UPS and its batteries. Please read all instructions before
operating this equipment and save this manual for future reference.

All of the models presented herein are designed for installation and use in a temperature controlled
environment, free of contamination.

This UPS utilizes voltage that may be hazardous. Do not attempt to disassemble. This unit contains no user
replaceable parts. Refer all servicing to Falcon Electric, Inc.

THIS UPS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH LIFE SUPPORT OR OPERATING
ROOM EQUIPMENT.

Always unplug this UPS and remove the UPS battery fuse prior to cleaning and never apply liquid or spray
detergent on the UPS.

Never attempt to service batteries. High voltage exists within the unit, which could cause electrical shock.
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the
required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries. When replacing the UPS batteries,
use the same number and type of batteries.

Allow at least 24 hours, after the UPS is first installed and turned on, to fully charge the internal battery and
assure the maximum backup time is available.

DO NOT plug this UPS into its own output as this may damage the UPS. NEVER CONNECT equipment that
could overload the UPS or demand half-wave rectification from the UPS, for example: electric drills, vacuum
cleaners or hair dryers. Never connect surge protected plug strips to the UPS output.

DO NOT remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes the safety ground from
the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.

This UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry live voltage
even when the UPS is not connected to an AC source.

Should any SG Series UPS models be stored for more than two weeks, it is mandatory that the bat­tery fuse be removed prior to storage or battery
damage will result.

SG Series UPS - Overview

True Regenerative On-Line Design

As new and innovative technologies have become the backbone of today's businesses, maximum
system availability is critical and downtime is more expensive than ever. Increasingly, businesses
need a UPS that not only protects against blackouts, but also virtually eliminates more frequent
and subtle power disturbances. Surges, sags, line noise and brownouts can disrupt proper
operation of sensitive equipment. These disturbances may also create unnecessary production,
service, and data recovery costs.

A True Regenerative On-Line UPS provides the highest level of protection against the widest
spectrum of power problems. The incoming AC utility source is converted to a regulated DC
voltage. From this DC voltage, a new AC voltage is generated, providing continuous, clean, tightly
regulated power to your equipment. Line-interactive and Off-line designs leave your equipment
connected directly to dirty utility power. They only provide minimal transient, voltage and backup
protection. If your equipment operation is "Mission Critical", a true double conversion On-Line
UPS, such as Falcon

®

Electric's SG SeriesTUPS Plus®, is the only clear choice.

Input Power Factor Correction

All SG Series UPS Plus models include state-of-the-art Input Power Factor Correction. This
greatly reduces the amount of current demanded from your building wiring system, yielding a
highly efficient, "building friendly" UPS.

Microprocessor Control

Falcon Electric's SG Series UPS incorporates advanced microprocessor technology. This
technology makes possible a high level of internal UPS control and management. With the
supplied UPSILON

®

software, all SG Series UPS models support unattended shutdown, manage­ment, data logging, and self-diagnostics. The software supports MS Windows®95, 98, NT, 2000,
2000 Server, ME, XP, Novell Netware®5 & 6, LINUX and FreeBSD. UPSILON for UNIX is avail­able as an option and supports most popular UNIX platforms and OS versions.

SNMP/HTTP Remote Management Support

Our SNMP/HTTP Agent board provides remote management and monitoring over any Ethernet
LAN, WAN or the Internet utilizing a 10BaseT-type connection. The optional SNMP/HTTP agent
installs via an option slot located behind a cover plate on the back panel of every SG Series
model.

Extended Battery Bank Option

All SG Series models have a continuous duty inverter and support the addition of optional external
battery/charger packs. Whether your application requires a few additional minutes or hours, the
SG Series will be ready. Falcon also offers optional battery charger upgrades for faster
recharging. Please specify your extended battery requirements at the time of your initial order.
Contact the factory for battery charger options.

Frequency Converter Option

With a factory modification at the time of order, any SG Series model can be configured for use as
an international frequency converter. This makes the SG Series UPS Plus an ideal choice for
worldwide power applications. Without this modification, all SG series models will detect the
incoming utility line frequency and automatically set the output frequency to match the input.

SG RACKMOUNT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Verify the following is included in the UPS shipping carton:
* UPS
* Software Diskette(s) & Manual *Power Cord
* Owners Manual
* UPS/Computer Cable
* Box containing mounting brackets, handles & mounting hardware
* SG2KRM-1TU, SG2KRM-2TU, SG3KRM-1TU & SG3KRM-2TU do not have batteries
inside the UPS enclosure and are shipped with an additional rackmount battery module.
Verify the battery interconnect cable and another small box containing mounting brackets,
handles and mounting hardware are present inside the battery module shipping carton..

2. Verify the UPS unit is configured for the proper input/output voltage and frequency. This
information is stated on the nameplate label located on the rear or the side panel of the
unit. If any special input plug and output receptacle configurations were specified at the
time of order, verify for proper configuration

3. RACKMOUNT UPS MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS --- IMPORTANT---

a. NEVER MOUNT THE UPS OR ANY ASSOCIATED BATTERY BANKS USING ONL

Y

THE FRONT PANEL MOUNTING EARS AS DAMAGE WILL RESULT! All Falcon

rackmount UPS and battery modules are designed to be supported by a shelf mounted to
both front and rear rails of the rack. Shelves are available from the manufacturer of your
particular rack enclosure. Select a shelf that can support 150 pounds of weight, minimum.

b. Use the following instructions to assemble the supplied mounting brackets and handles,

and to install the bracket assemblies to the UPS, and battery module (if supplied).

4

Step 1.
Locate the mounting
hardware kit(s)

Step 2.
Remove the screws from
their plastic bag and identify.

Flat Head Pan Head

Step 3.
Using two Flat Head
screws, fasten the
chrome handles to
each bracket

Step 4.
Using the remaining Pan
Head screws, fasten the
bracket assembly to both
sides of the UPS and
battery banks (if supplied).

c. Install a suitable shelf capable of supporting the weight of the UPS and batteries into

the equipment rack. Install the shelf so the UPS and battery bank (if required) will sit
directly on the surface of the shelf. Lift the UPS onto its rack shelf, slide it into the
rack until the UPS front panel is flush with the racks front rails, securing it to the rails
using four screws, (supplied by the rack manufacturer).

d. For 2-3Kva models, lift the primary battery module onto its rack shelf, slide back it

until the the front panel is flush with the racks front rails and secure it to the rails
using four screws (supplied by the rack manufacturer).

4. There are three switches located on the UPS rear panel. Please reference the
diagram below.

a. Two of the switches set the nominal UPS output voltage. Set switch 1 and

2 to the desired output voltage setting. In most cases the nominal UPS output
voltage should be set to match the incoming utility voltage. This will assure a
close matching voltage in the event the UPS is placed on bypass.

b. Dip switch 3 "enables" or "disables the "Green Mode" function. The UPS is

shipped from the factory with the switch set in the "disabled" position (to the
right), turning off the green mode function. If SW3 is switched to the left or to
the "enabled" position the Green Mode function is activated and when the
load connected to the output of the UPS drops to under 10% of its rated
output, the UPS is automatically set to bypass after 30 seconds and the
inverter is turned off reducing the power requirement.

NO BATTERY BACKUP IS PROVIDED WHEN IN THIS MODE.

c. Switch settings must be made while the UPS is turned off. Any changes

made while the ups is turned on will not take effect until the UPS is turned off
and back on again as the switch settings are read by the microprocessor
only during inital UPS power up.
