1 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions for models TLE Series 160 - 500 that should be followed
during installation and maintenance of the UPS and battery.
GENERAL
- Move the UPS in an upright position in its original package to the final destination room.
To lift the cabinets, use a forklift or lifting belts with spreader bars.
- Check for sufficient floor and elevator loading capacity.
- Check the integrity of the UPS equipment carefully.
If you notice visible damage, do not install or start the UPS.
Contact the nearest GE Service Center immediately.
- WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK:
Do not remove covers, there are no user serviceable parts inside.
- After switching off takes 5 minutes for the DC capacitors to discharge because a lethally high voltage
remains at the terminals of the electrolytic capacitors.
- UPS’s and battery system require a 12 months periodic maintenance to operate reliably and safely.
This should be performed by qualified service personnel. The UPS contains its own energy source (battery).
- The field-wiring outlets may be electrically live, even when the UPS is disconnected from the utility.
- Dangerous voltages may be present during battery operation.
- The battery must be disconnected during maintenance or service work.
- This UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages.
- Be aware that the inverter can restart automatically after the utility voltage is restored.
- End user must follow applicable regional occupational safety codes/regulations during installation,
operation and equipment maintenance. This may require additional field marking or labeling defining
appropriate level of PPE (Personal Protection Equipment) to reduce the risk of Arc-flash related injuries.
Contact our GE Service Center for product specific information.

- This UPS must be installed and connected only by trained personnel.
- Verify accurately during Commissioning and Maintenance of the UPS, for the following:
Damaged components, squeezed wires and cables, or not correctly inserted plugs.
- After removing the sidewalls of the UPS, make sure that all earth connections when reassembling, are
correctly reattached.
- This UPS is intended for use in a controlled indoor environment free of conductive contaminants and
protected against animals intrusion.
- WARNING! HIGH EARTH LEAKAGE CURRENT:
Earth connection is essential before connecting to AC input!
- Switching OFF the unit does not isolate the UPS from the utility.
- Do not install the UPS in an excessively humid environment or near water.
- Avoid spilling liquids on or dropping any foreign object into the UPS.
- The unit must be placed in a sufficiently ventilated area; the ambient temperature should not exceed 104°F
(40°C).
- Optimal battery life is obtained if the ambient temperature does not exceed 77°F (25°C).
- It is important that air can move freely around and through the unit. Do not block the air vents.
- Avoid locations in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
STORAGE
- Store the UPS in a dry location; storage temperature must be within -13°F (-25°C) to 131°F (55°C).
- The optimal temperature for Battery storage is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) and shall never exceed the range -
4°F (-20°C) to 104°F (40°C).
- If the unit is stored for a period exceeding 3 months, the battery must be recharged periodically (time
depending on storage temperature).
BATTERY
- The battery-voltage is dangerous for person’s safety.
- When replacing the battery, use the same cells number, voltage (V), capacity (Ah).
All the battery used, shall be of the same manufacturer and date of production.
- Proper disposal or recycling of the battery is required.
Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
- Never dispose of battery in a fire: they may explode.

Safety instructions when working with battery
EXTERNAL BATTERY MUST BE INSTALLED AND CONNECTED TO THE UPS BY
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
INSTALLATION PERSONNEL MUST READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION BEFORE HANDLING
THE UPS AND BATTERY.
DANGER!
Full voltage and current are always present at the battery terminals.
The battery used in this system can provide dangerous voltages, extremely high currents and a risk of
electric shock.
If the terminals are shorted together or to ground they may cause severe injury.
You must be extremely careful to avoid electric shock and burns caused by contacting battery terminals
or shorting terminals during battery installation.
Do not touch uninsulated battery terminals.
A qualified service person, who is familiar with battery systems and required precautions, must install and
service the battery.
The installation must conform to national and local codes.
Keep unauthorized personnel away from the battery.
The qualified service person must take these precautions:
1 Wear protective clothing, such as rubber gloves and boots and protective eye wear.
Batteries contain caustic acids and toxic materials and can rupture or leak if mistreated.
Remove rings and metal wristwatches or other metal objects and jewellery.
Do not carry metal objects in your pockets where the objects can fall into the battery cabinet.
High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns.
2 Tools must have insulated handles and must be insulated so that they will not short battery
terminals.
Do not allow a tool to short between individual or separate battery terminals or to the cabinet or
rack.
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of the battery, and do not lay them where they could fall onto
the battery or into the cabinet.
3 Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
Install the battery as shown on the drawing provided with the battery.
When connecting cables, never allow a cable to short across a battery’s terminals, the string of
battery, or to the cabinet or rack.
4 Align the cables on the battery terminals so that the cable lug will not contact any part of the cabinet
or rack, even if the battery is moved.
Keep the cable away from any sharp metal edges.
5 Install the battery cables in such a way that the UPS or battery cabinet doors cannot pinch them.
6 Do not connect the battery terminal to Ground.
If any battery terminal is inadvertently grounded, remove the source of the ground.
Contacting any part of a grounded battery can cause a risk of electric shock.
7 Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from
ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock.
The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and
maintenance.
8 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the battery in a temperature and humidity
controlled indoor area, free of contaminants.
9 Battery system chassis ground (earth) must be connected to the UPS chassis ground (earth).
If you use conduits, this ground conductor must be routed in the same conduit as the battery
conductors.
10 Where conductors may be exposed to physical damage, protect the conductors in accordance with
all applicable codes.
11 If you are replacing the battery or repairing battery connections, shut OFF the UPS and remove the
battery fuses.

installed.
Never leave an UPS outside the building and do not store
the UPS one on top of the other.
We recommend to store the UPS in its original package in
a dry, dust-free room, away fro
m chemical substances,
and with a temperature range not exceeding -13°F (-25°C)
to 131°F (55°C).
In case the battery is included please refer to Section 4.3.2.
Some important functions of the UPS, such as the customized functions, are defined by parameters
stored in a RAM memory.
A small backup Battery located on the Control Unit board supplies the RAM.
If the storage time of the UPS exceeds 1 year, these functions should be verified by an authorized GE
Service Center before putting the UPS into operation.
4.3.2 Storage of Battery
When the delivery includes a maintenance free Battery, keep in mind that they are subject to self-
discharge and therefore you must recharge the Battery.
The storage time without Battery recharge depends on the temperature of the storage site.
The optimal temperature for Battery storage is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) and shall never exceed the
range -4°F (-20°C) to 104°F (40°C).
Recharge stored maintenance free Battery every:
6 months when the storage temperature is 68°F (20°C)
3 months when the storage temperature is 86°F (30°C)
2 months when the storage temperature is 95°F (35°C)

If optional cabinets and accessories are included with the UPS, please refer to those
accompanying manuals for installation and operating instructions.
It is important to have a clean, dust-free environment provided with proper ventilation and airconditioning to keep the ambient temperature within the specified operating range.
We strongly advice that the ambient temperature should not exceed 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) (max.
104°F / 40°C). Refer to Section 4.5.
Check for sufficient floor load capacity before installing the UPS and the Battery.
Refer to Section 4.1.1.
For Battery installation follow the local codes and the recommendation of the battery supplier.
NOTE !
Operation at temperatures higher than 77°F (25°C) will reduce battery life.
Potential consequences are explained in Section 9.1.4 of the User Manual: read and
understand them.
The TLE Series 160 - 500 UPS can radiate radio frequency energy.
Although some RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) filtering is inherent to the UPS there is no guarantee
that the UPS will not influence sensitive devices such as cameras and monitors that are positioned close
by.
If interference is expected, the UPS should be moved away from the sensitive equipment.

(marked on the packing).
If the units are positioned “side by side”, the side panels must be mounted on all
units.
4.4.2 Battery location
Batteries require a well-ventilated room with controlled temperature to obtain reliable operation.
The Battery can be installed immediately adjacent to the UPS (left or right side) or remotely from the
UPS.
If the Battery is installed remotely from the UPS, a wall mounted DC disconnect device must be installed
within line-of-site to both the UPS and the Battery.
The optimal room temperature for Battery storage is 68°F (20°C) to 77°F (25°C) and shall never exceed
the range -4°F (-20°C) to 104°F (40°C).
The life of valve-regulated batteries will be reduced by 50% for each additional 18°F (10°C) that the
battery ambient temperature is above 77°F (25°C).
The Battery System associated with larger UPS is usually either rack mounted or installed in multiple
Battery Cabinets.
Installation and assembly must be made according to the local standards and Battery System
manufacturer‘s recommendations.
The Battery Circuit Breaker or Battery Fuse Box must be mounted as near as possible to the Battery.
WARNING !
Battery installation and connection must be performed by qualified personnel
only.
Read all safety instructions before proceeding with the installation (see Section 1).
Battery discharging and/or charging activities may cause the emission of
hydrogen gas; therefore, the room requires proper ventilation and fresh air.
Comply with the UL1778-CSAC22.2no170.3 UPS safety standard, ANSI/IEEE P1184

4.7 ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING !
UPS installation and connection must be performed by a GE Service Technician only.
It is the responsibility of the installation technician to ensure that all local and
national electric codes are adhered to.
Refer to the “Safety prescriptions - Installation” described on Section 1.
4.7.1 Utility input connection
NOTE !
Ensure that the AC and DC external isolators are OFF and locked out to prevent their
inadvertent operation.
Do not apply power to the equipment prior to the commissioning by a GE Service
Technician.
Before any other input connection, connect and check the grounding wire.
The UPS has available input terminations for the Rectifier and Bypass.
The unit may be powered from a Common Input source or Dual Input sources if desired.
Common Input Utility Rectifier & Bypass
Fig. 4.7.1-1 Common Input Utility Rectifier & Bypass
The same power source is to be used for
both Bypass Supply and Rectifier Input
(input F3).
Bear in mind that when the Utility fuses are
opened there is a supply failure to the
Rectifier as well as to the Automatic
Bypass.
In this case, the interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3 on the input terminals or bus
bars MUST REMAIN CONNECTED.
Dual Input Utility Configuration Rectifier & Bypass
Fig. 4.7.1-2 Dual Input Utility Rectifier & Bypass
The Bypass and Rectifier use different
power sources (F1 and F2 inputs).
In this case, when the Rectifier-input fuses
are opened, the Automatic Bypass is
supplied by the other connection.
Always verify that the received UPS is as per the configuration ordered.
While installing UPS dual source, the interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3 MUST
BE REMOVED. See Fig. 4.8.2-2 & Fig. 4.8.4-2.
Connect a single input Neutral to Bypass Utility (inside the UPS, common Neutral for
Bypass and Rectifier).

4.7.2 Input/output over current protection and wire sizing
The cabling of the UPS system has to be sized according to the UPS power rating.
Sizing of circuit Breakers, Fuses and cables for Input Utility, output load and Battery must meet the
requirements of local and national electrical codes.
Before connecting the UPS, verify that the Utility Voltage and Frequency, the Output Load Voltage and
Frequency and Battery Data (cells number, floating voltage, autonomy) are according to the required
data.
The protection of the UPS utility input must be exclusively with 3 pole breakers.
In 4-wire distributions (3-phase, 4-wire plus ground):
• Disconnection of the Neutral is not permitted.
The UPS needs the connection of the Neutral to the input, to guarantee the function in TN mode
(Neutral-Earth).
• Caution when using Four-Pole Circuit Breakers as protection to the UPS Load.
A potential problem exists for situations with non-linear Loads, causing the Neutral Current to be
higher than the Phase Current.
Avoid to run the input cables in parallel with the output cables to prevent them from noise induction.
The Three-Phase Utility Power supply must be symmetrical with respect to Ground (wye-connected and
grounded solidly), due to the existence of voltage surge protection devices inside the UPS.
The connection of the Battery to the UPS must be protected with fuses or similar devices according to
technical specifications and in accordance with local standards.
NOTE !
If you use ELCB breaker (Earth Limiting Circuit Breaker) to protect the input
connections, consider the high leakage current generated by the noise suppression
capacitors.
If these ELCB breakers are strictly necessary, we suggest using the largest type
suitable for non-linear current and for delayed operations.
Specific prescriptions apply for 3-wire (3-phase plus ground) distributions; refer to
the specific section for details.
To ensure the circuit selectivity in case of Short- Circuit in the Load equipment, special care must be
taken in choosing the Fuse or Circuit Breaker ratings installed in the output distribution circuits.
Due to the relatively low short-circuit capability of the UPS Inverter, a short-circuit in the Load will cause
an immediate transfer to Utility.
The largest fuse in the output distribution should be at least 1.6 time smaller than the Fuses supplying
the Bypass line.
If circuit selectivity is required while the Load is fed from the Inverter (Bypass Utility not available), the
Largest Fuse or Circuit Breaker should be rated at no more than 20% of the UPS Output Current Rating.
NOTE !
The delivery and installation of fuses and input/output connections of the UPS are at
the customer’s expense, unless agreed otherwise.

4.8 WIRING CONNECTION
WARNING !
UPS installation and connection must be performed by a GE Service Technician only.
Refer to the “Safety prescriptions - Installation” described on Chapter 1.
In case of UPS equipped with options or customized parts not covered by this
manual, please consult the appropriate technical documentation before proceeding
with electrical connections.
Carefully read the following recommendations before proceeding:
• Ensure that the AC and DC external isolators are Off, and prevent their inadverted operation.
• Do not close any external isolators prior to the commissioning of the equipment.
• The input/output cables must be connected in clockwise phase rotation for both Bypass and
Rectifier Input Bars if separate, taking care to avoid risk of short circuit between different poles.
• The grounding and neutral connection of the electrical system must be in accordance with local
regulations.
• In case of additional cabinets containing batteries, input/ output transformers, etc, their ground
terminals must be connected to the UPS main ground terminal.
• Once the power cables have been connected, re-install the internal safety shields and close the
cabinets by re-installing all external panels.

NOTE !
This UPS is only designed to operate in a wye-configured electrical system with a
solidly grounded neutral.
The UPS cannot be operated from a mid-point or end-point grounded delta
supply source.
If the UPS is equipped with an input bypass transformer, the secondary of the
transformer must be wye-configured with neutral solidly grounded.
If the Load requires a Neutral, a Bypass Source Neutral MUST BE PROVIDED.
If no Neutral Connection is available with the Bypass Input (3-wire input + ground) and the Load does
not require a Neutral, solidly connect the Output Neutral of the UPS to ground with a ground
bonding jumper.
For single module applications install the ground bonding jumper directly at the UPS output.
Cable size for this connection shall be per National Electric Code and applicable local regulations,
but not less than AWG 1.
ATTENTION !
With this configuration, Load can only be connected phase-phase.
Absolutely no Load Connection permitted to the output Neutral.
DO NOT install both a source Neutral and a bonding jumper!
In a Parallel System configuration, the output
distribution cabinet must contain a Neutral Bus
as per the following Figure 4.8.1-2.
If no Neutral Connection is available with the
Bypass Input (3-wire input + ground) and the
Load does not require a Neutral, solidly connect
the Output Neutral of the UPS to ground in the
Output Distribution Cabinet.
Wire Neutral Conductors from the UPS to the
output distribution cabinet (common point of
connection) and solidly connect to ground with a
ground bonding jumper.
Fig. 4.8.1-2 RPA Parallel System
Cable size for the ground bonding jumper shall be per National Electric Code and applicable local
regulations, but not less than AWG 1.
Please consider the following when applying Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) in 3-wire
distribution:
• During transfers to and from bypass, circulating current may flow between the two AC sources
(UPS inverter and bypass utility). In 3-wire distribution the current flows through the ground
path. In order to prevent tripping in such circumstances, proper adjustment of the GFCI is
required. Particularly, the time delay should be set to at least 300ms.
• With the Neutral to ground bonding jumper installed, the UPS ground current has been verified
to be less than or equal to 5% of the maximum rated input current of the unit in compliance
with international safety regulations. This shall be accounted for in GFCIs settings
NOTE !
Failure to properly adjust the GFCI settings could compromise the power delivery
to the critical load.

NOTE !
This UPS is only designed to operate in a wye-configured electrical system with a
solidly grounded neutral.
The UPS cannot be operated from a mid-point or end-point grounded delta
supply source.
If the UPS is equipped with an input bypass transformer, the secondary of the
transformer must be wye-configured with neutral solidly grounded.
If the Load requires a Neutral, a Bypass Source Neutral MUST BE PROVIDED.
If no Neutral Connection is available with the Bypass Input (3-wire input + ground) and the Load does
not require a Neutral, solidly connect the Output Neutral of the UPS to ground with a ground
bonding jumper.
For single module applications install the ground bonding jumper directly at the UPS output.
Cable size for this connection shall be per National Electric Code and applicable local regulations,
but not less than AWG 3/0.
ATTENTION !
With this configuration, Load can only be connected phase-phase.
Absolutely no Load Connection permitted to the output Neutral.
DO NOT install both a source Neutral and a bonding jumper!
In a Parallel System configuration, the output
distribution cabinet must contain a Neutral Bus
as per the following Figure 4.8.3-2.
If no Neutral Connection is available with the
Bypass Input (3-wire input + ground) and the
Load does not require a Neutral, solidly connect
the Output Neutral of the UPS to ground in the
Output Distribution Cabinet.
Wire Neutral Conductors from the UPS to the
output distribution cabinet (common point of
connection) and solidly connect to ground with a
ground bonding jumper.
Fig. 4.8.3-2 RPA Parallel System
Cable size for the ground bonding jumper shall be per National Electric Code and applicable local
regulations, but not less than AWG 3/0.
Please consider the following when applying Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) in 3-wire
distribution:
• During transfers to and from bypass, circulating current may flow between the two AC sources
(UPS inverter and bypass utility). In 3-wire distribution the current flows through the ground
path. In order to prevent tripping in such circumstances, proper adjustment of the GFCI is
required. Particularly, the time delay should be set to at least 300ms.
• With the Neutral to ground bonding jumper installed, the UPS ground current has been verified
to be less than or equal to 5% of the maximum rated input current of the unit in compliance
with international safety regulations. This shall be accounted for in GFCIs settings
NOTE !
Failure to properly adjust the GFCI settings could compromise the power delivery
to the critical load.

4.8.5 Use of TLE Series 160 - 500 in eBoost™ Operation Mode
NOTE !
For systems intended to be operated in eBoost™ Operation Mode, the installation
shall be protected with suitable surge protection devices (SPDs) on the AC bus
feeding the UPSs.
Please contact your GE Service Center for more information.
NOTE !
In eBoostTM Operation Mode the inverter output filter is placed in parallel with the
load, and combined with the load current it contributes to the UPS input
characteristic.
As the inverter output filter exhibits a predominantly capacitive characteristic, it
may provide some degree of reactive power compensation when combined with
lagging power factor loads.
Conversely, depending on the load type and level, the UPS input characteristic
may exhibit a leading power factor in eBoostTM Operation Mode.
Please contact your GE Service Center for more information.
NOTE !
If an emergency generator set supplies the UPS in case of Utility Failure, and the
system is intended to be operated in eBoost™ Operation Mode, eBoost operation
shall be prevented during generator operation.
This can be accomplished by either installing a “GENERATOR ON” signal (refer to
Section 5.2.5) or an “eBoost/IEMi CONTROL” signal (refer to Section 5.2.7).
Please contact your GE Service Center for more information.

4.8.6 Use of TLE Series 160 - 500 as frequency converter
NOTE !
The UPS needs the connection of the Neutral at the input Bus Bars.
Permanently running the UPS without bypass supply requires a change of
internal wiring to be performed by a GE Service Technician only.
When the TLE Series 160 - 500 is utilized for different output frequency compared to the input
frequency, the Automatic Bypass function is disabled, therefore the Load cannot be transferred to Utility
in case of overload, short circuit, or inverter failure.
In situations where the UPS needs to be powered down for maintenance purposes, the critical Load
must also be powered down during this time.
When the set-up parameters of the UPS are set for frequency converter, the eBoost™ Operation Mode
is automatically disabled.

Interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3
Fig. 4.8.6-2 TLE Series 300 - 400 - 500
Interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3
In order to avoid improper operation, only the Rectifier input should be powered (L1-1, L2-1 and L3-1
/ Fig. 4.8.2-1 & 4.8.4.1), therefore the interconnection links BR1, BR2 and BR3, on the input bus bars,
MUST BE REMOVED. See pictures above and Fig. 4.8.2-3 and 4.8.4-3.
Special care must be taken in choosing the fuse ratings installed in the output distribution (max.
20% of the UPS rated current).
Avoid high inrush current due to transformer magnetization or motor starting.
NOTE !
Only a GE SERVICE TECHNICIAN may change a unit from frequency converter into
a normal UPS (with bypass) or a normal UPS to a Frequency Converter (with
bypass).

4.9 RPA PARALLEL SYSTEM CONNECTION
WARNING !
This operation must be performed by a GE SERVICE TECHNICIAN before the initial
start-up (ensure that the UPS installation is completely POWERED DOWN).
4.9.1 Power wiring of parallel units
To guarantee good Load sharing between the units of a Parallel System, we recommend that the cable
length from the input distribution board (5) to the output distribution board (9) is equal for each unit (a+b
= c+d = e+f = g+h = i+l = m+n = o+p = q+r).
Tolerance: +/-10%.
The AC input power of the Bypass must be the same for all units of the Parallel System - no phase shift
allowed between units.
NOTE !
It is strongly recommended that no transformers, automatic circuit breakers or
fuses should be inserted between the unit’s output and the Load common bus bars.
However, it is recommended that a disconnection or isolation switch is installed in
order to totally isolate a unit if needed.
Verify that power wiring and control wiring run in separate conduits or cable trays.
The power wiring requires two separate conduits: one for input and one for output cables.

4.9.2 Parallel control bus connection
In case of Parallel System, the communication between the units takes place through the Control Bus
Cables.
Each Parallel Unit contains the two boards “P13/P14 – IM0022 – Bus Interface Board” (mounted on top
of the board “P12 – IM0196 – RPA Board”) on which four connectors J1A - J2A and J1B - J2B are
allocated.
All the parallel units are connected to the same control bus.
This connection allows:
• The microprocessors of each unit to communicate with each other.
• The oscillators of each unit to be locked together.
• The regulation loops to compare the output current of each unit in order to equally share the Load
current.
For increased reliability, this connection is made with redundant cables.
In this way, communication is maintained between units in case one of the control cables should fail or
be accidentally damaged or disconnected.
The standard length of the control bus cable between two parallel units is 40 ft / 12m.
The maximal overall length of bus connection, between the first and the last unit, should not exceed 295
ft / 90m.
Verify that control wiring run in an individual separate steel conduit.
NOTE !
Under no circumstance should the control bus cable connecting J1A - J2A (1/2/3/4/5)
and J1B - J2B (1/2/3/4/5) be connected or disconnected after the system has been
powered On.
Fig. 4.9.2-1 RPA System - Control bus connection
It is important to place the units in sequence of their assigned number.
A unit number from 1 to 6 is defined by the setting of parameters and displayed on the panel (1 to 6).
This number is also marked inside and outside the packaging.

5.2.4 X2 terminal block – “EPO - Emergency Power Off”
NOTE !
If an emergency button “EPO - Emergency Power Off” is installed, the use of the XA
terminals is recommended (see Section 5.10).
Fig. 5.2.4-1 X2 terminals in the P4 – Customer Interface
Fig. 5.2.4-2 Jumper JP2 on the P4 – Customer Interface
NOTE !
To activate the connection of an emergency button “EPO - Emergency Power Off” on
the terminals XA / EPO-1, EPO-2, performed on each card “P4 – Customer Interface”
the following operation:
- Remove the cable short-circuiting terminals X2 / 1, 2 (see Fig. 5.2-4-1).
- Remove the Jumper JP2 (see Fig. 5.2-4-2).
5.2.5 X1 terminal block - Gen Set Signaling (GEN ON)
If an emergency generator set supplies the UPS in case of Utility Failure and the generator is
considerably unstable in frequency, it should be suitable to install the signal “GENERATOR ON” on X1 /
11, 22. See Fig. 5.2-1 / X1.
Since the Parameter for of the reading of the Generator function is password protected, contact your GE
Service Center for it's activation.
When this contact closes, it changes certain (programmable) functions such as:
• Enabling or disabling of synchronization and consequently the Load transfer to generator.
• Reduction or elimination or delay of Battery recharging during the generator operation.
Additionally, when the “GENERATOR ON” input contact is closed, the UPS will inhibit eBoost™ Operation
Mode and revert to double-conversion operation.
It is advised to contact your GE Service Center for further details.
In a Parallel System a separate NO (Normally Open) contact must be connected to
each individual unit.

5.2.6 X1 terminal block - AUX external Maintenance Bypass
If the UPS system is equipped with an external Maintenance Bypass Switch, it is possible to connect a NO
(Normally Open) voltage-free aux. contact from the External Bypass Switch to the programmable input
X1 / 10, 21, making the UPS operate as if the internal switch Q2 has closed.
This function can be activated by changing a dedicated parameter (password required).
When this NO (Normally Open) contact closes, the output Inverter Contactor K7 it is automatically
opened and the Load transfer back to Inverter will be inhibited.
In a Parallel System, the input on the Customer Interface of each unit must be
connected to a separate AUX contact of the External Maintenance Bypass Switch.
5.2.7 X1 terminal block - eBoost/IEMi control signal
The UPS operation in either eBoost or IEMi operating modes can be controlled via an NO (Normally Open)
contact by installing the “eBoost/IEMi CONTROL” signal, routed to the programmable function contacts
(see Section 5.2.3).
When this contact closes, eBoost or IEMi operation mode is inhibited.
The Parameter for the activation of such function is password protected.
Contact your GE Service Center for its activation.
This function is particularly useful for controlling eBoost or IEMi operation following critical conditions on
either the load side or the input utility, including generator operation when the “GENERATOR ON” signal
has not been installed.
When using the “eBoost/IEMi control” function on the programmable user relays of
the Customer Interface X1 terminals in a Parallel System, a separate NO (Normally
Open) contact must be connected to each individual unit.
