1 - Introduction

1.1 Introduction

General Electric (GE) Digital Energy NetPro 19” UPS

The protects your equipment from all forms of power interference, including complete power failures.

1.2 Safety Rules

CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK

outlets may be electrically live, even when the UPS is disconnected from the mains.

The UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not open the UPS, there are no user serviceable parts inside.

All maintenance and service work, performed by qualified service personnel.

except for replacement of the batteries

. The UPS contains batteries. The appliance

, should be

1.3 Transport / Storage

No liability can be accepted for any transport damage when the equipment is shipped in nonoriginal packaging.

During transport the battery drawer must either be removed or fixed with two screws at the rear side of the UPS (A, fig. 1).

Store the UPS in a dry location with the batteries in a fully charged state. Storage temperature must be within -20 +45 qC. If the unit is stored for a period exceeding 3 months, optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the storage temperature does not exceed 25°C.

If the unit is stored for an extended period of time, the batteries must be recharged periodically. Be sure that the battery drawer is connected to the UPS. Subsequently connect the unit to a wall outlet and recharge the batteries for 24 hours:

- if the storage temperature is within -20 and +30°C: every 3 months,

- if the storage temperature is within -20 and +45°C: every month. Please note that with completely discharged batteries the UPS will not start at all. External charging or replacement of the batteries will be necessary.

2 - Installation

The shipping box contains a ROM and this manual. Inspect the UPS for damage after unpacking. If any damage is present please immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase.

NetPro 19”

UPS, two IEC male-female power cords, a data cable, a CD

IMPORTANT

Before making any connection and switching on the conditions:

your mains supply is 220 - 240 Volts and 50 Hz (if the mains frequency is 60Hz, the output frequency of the UPS can be changed, see section 3.4), and the total power demand of the connected equipment does not exceed the rated output power of

NetPro 19”

the

UPS (indicated on the rating label).

WARNING

Connecting the UPS output to neutral or ground will result in a malfunctioning UPS.

2.1 Installation Rules

The UPS is intended to be used in normal domestic and office situations.

Protect the UPS, according to the wiring rules, with a 16A D-type fuse.

The UPS must be powered from a single phase grounded wall outlet. Do not use extension cords.

Avoid locations that are excessively humid, near water, near heat sources or in direct sunlight.

The ambient temperature should not exceed 40qC. Optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the ambient temperature does not exceed 30qC.

It is important that ventilation air can move freely around and through the unit. Do not block the air vents.

Do not plug appliances such as electric heaters, toasters and vacuum cleaners into the UPS.

Be careful when connecting laser printers: be sure that the demanded power does not exceed the capacity of the UPS.

The sum of the leakage currents of the UPS and the connected loads should not exceed 3.5mA.

2.2 Installation Procedure

GE Digital Energy

1. Remove the transport screws (A, fig. 1) and store them in the free holes (B, fig.1). Mount the

NetPro 19”

it by using the front brackets only. The front brackets allow mounting of handles (not included).

2. Make sure that the air vents in the side panels of the module are not blocked by the mounting rails or the side panels of the 19” rack.

UPS in the 19” rack. The module must be supported by mounting rails, do not mount

1000VA model only:

fig. 2

Battery extension module(s) can be installed to increase the battery runtime. Connect the DC connector of the battery module (7, fig. 2) to the DC socket of the UPS (2, fig. 1/2). You will hear a click when the cable is properly installed. Block the DC connector: install the small locking plate (7a, fig. 2) that came with the battery module, and fasten it with the screw provided. Using the DC connector of the battery module (not shown) you can install a second, third, etc. module. See also section 5.1.

4. Switch off your computer, and unplug it from the socket-outlet.

5. Disconnect the power cord from the computer (rating 250Vac/10A) and connect this cord to the mains input socket (5, fig. 1) of the UPS. See fig. 4.

fig. 1

6. Using the output cord(s) provided, connect the computer(s) to the appliance outlet(s) (1, fig. 1) of

fig. 3

fig. 4

8. For best results, allow the UPS to recharge the batteries during a period of approx. 2 hours. It is acceptable to use the UPS without first charging the battery, but the runtime may be reduced.

9. For advanced communication possibilities, the RS232 interface port (6, fig. 1) can be connected to a computer system and/or optional interface cards (3, fig. 1) can be added. See chapter 4.

the UPS. Spread the loads over the appliance outlets as equally as possible. If you use a distribution box to connect more than one appliance per outlet, please note that the maximum AC-current rating of each appliance outlet is 10Amps. See fig. 3.

7. Connect the mains cord of the UPS to a working, grounded AC wall socket outlet. See fig. 4. The green LED 'on' (8, fig. 6) will blink now: mains power is available and the batteries are charging. If the LED does not blink but illuminates continuously instead, press ‘0’ for one second.

3 - Operation

Please refer to figure 6.

3.1 Start-up

3.1.1 Start-up, mains available

1 Press keypad 'I' (14, fig. 6) briefly; LED ‘on’ (already blinking) will illuminate continuously now. 2 The equipment connected to the UPS can now be switched on.

3.1.2 Start-up, mains not available

If the mains input is absent (power cord not connected, or mains failure):

1 Press keypad 'I' until the buzzer sounds.

The LEDs 'on' and 'on battery' (13, fig. 6) will illuminate. The UPS operates on battery: it discharges the batteries.

3.2 Use: Normal Operation

3.2.1 Normal operation conditions:

the mains supply is present,

the UPS is on,

the load does not exceed the capacity of the UPS and

the operating temperature is below alarm level

3.2.2 Load indication (fig. 5)

1 During normal operation, press keypad 'I' briefly. 2 Yellow LEDs will blink during 3 seconds, the number is load

dependent (in case of overload LED 'alarm' (9, fig. 6) blinks as well).

3.2.3 Auto-off (no-load shutdown)

If this function is activated, the UPS will switch off during a mains failure when the load is less than 5% of the maximum load. In this way unnecessary discharging of the batteries is avoided. The unit will automatically turn on again when mains power is restored. The default setting of the no-load shutdown function is: activated. Changing of the setting is described in 3.4.

3.2.4 Automatic bypass switch

The UPS is equipped with an automatic bypass switch. This switch automatically transfers the load to the mains if the UPS is unable to deliver the demanded output power due to overload or overtemperature. The UPS will switch back to normal operation when the overload has been removed or the temperature has dropped below alarm level. If a power failure occurs during bypass operation, the UPS will switch to battery operation and eventually, when the batteries are depleted, output power is lost. If the UPS functions under overload or overtemperature conditions it may not be able to protect the load. See also 3.3.6 and 3.4.

3.2.5 Switching off

1 Press keypad ‘0’ (15, fig. 6) for 1 second. If the UPS is switched off the output will always be

absent for a few seconds to ensure that the connected equipment is able to reboot.

2 If electric isolation is required, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
