CHAPTER 1
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 regenerated, 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 SeriesTMUPS 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 may be
purchased seperately 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 and charger requirements at the time of your
initial order.
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 its output frequency to match.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
General - Common for all models
1.Verify the following is included in the UPS shipping carton:
(1) UPS, (1) Software Diskette(s) & Manual, (1) Owners Manual & (1) UPS/Computer
Cable.
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.Set the output voltage and green mode switches located on the UPS rear panel for the
nominal UPS output voltage desired. See the switch setting tables located on page 5.
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. NOTE: Disregard the "ON" marking on the side of the actual dip switch
housing; use the tables in this manual or the silkscreen on the UPS rear panel only.
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 (up). If SW3 is switched
down or to the "enabled" position, the Green Mode function is activated. When the
load connected to the output of the UPS drops to under 10% of the full rated UPS output
for 30 seconds, the UPS is automatically placed into bypass and the inverter is turned off.
NO BATTERY BACKUP IS PROVIDED AFTER THE GREEN MODE HAS ACTIVATED.
Dip 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 turn off and back on again since
the switch settings are read by the microprocessor only during initial UPS power up.
4.To prevent accelerated battery discharge during shipment, this UPS was shipped with the
battery circuit breaker turned off. TURN THE BATTERY DISCONNECT CIRCUIT
BREAKER ON PRIOR TO TURNING ON THE UPS INPUT CIRCUIT BREAKER.
CAUTION
NEVER TURN THE BATTERY CIRCUIT BREAKER OFF WHILE THE UPS AC CIRCUIT
BREAKER IS TURNED ON AND OPERATING FROM THE UTILITY VOLTAGE, OR UPS
DAMAGE MAY RESULT. UPS MUST BE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN PRIOR TO
DISABLING THE INTERNAL BATTERY SUPPLY.
CAUTION
In the event this UPS is to be turned off or stored for more than two weeks, the battery
circuit breaker must be turned to the off position to prevent battery discharge. If placed in
long-term storage, every four months the UPS must be plugged in and turned on for 24
hours to allow the batteries to recharge and prevent battery damage. Failure to follow
these procedures will invalidate your warranty.
