IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This manual contains important safety instructions that should be followed during the
installation and maintenance of the UPS and its batteries. Please read this manual
thoroughly before attempting to install or operate this UPS.

This equipment can be installed and operated by indiv idua ls withou t previo us training.

1. PowerSure Personal models are available for 115VAC and 230VAC supply voltages and
loads. Please verify that this model matches your AC mains/ load voltage requirements.

2. This equipment is designed for Commercial/Industrial use only. Liebert Corporation
neither recommends nor knowingly sells this product for use in critical life support
applications.

3. The PowerSure Personal 230VAC models are not supplied with an input power lead for
connection to the mains supply. Use the input mains power lead from your data
processing equipment to connect the UPS to the mains supply. The UPS is supplied with
two output power leads with moulded connectors to connect from the UPS output to your
equipment. Additional input/output leads can be obtained from your dealer.
Also provided is a Liebert special interconnection cable for connection to DB9 connector
on the rear of the UPS for use with Liebert’s SiteNet MultiLink® software (see user
manual for details) DO NOT USE FOR OTHER APPLICATIONS. Store in safe place if
not required at this time.

4. This UPS must be earthed at all times during operation. Connect only to a mains supply
socket outlet with an earth connection. A means of disconnection of the mains supply
should be within 2 metres of the UPS.

5. WARNING: Output receptacles on the UPS are electrically live if the UPS is switched
ON, even if the UPS is not plugged in to a mains supply. The On/Off button on the UPS
does not electrically isolate the internal parts. To isolate the UPS, switch OFF the UPS
first, then unplug it from the mains.



To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover, as it has no user-

serviceable parts inside. Some components are live, even when AC power is
disconnected. For service, contact a qualified technician.



To reduce the risk of fire, use the proper rating when replacing the fuse.



To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install the UPS in a temperature and humidity

controlled room, free of conductive contaminants.

6. Your total load earth leakage current must not exceed 2.75 milli-amperes. Most data
processing equipment meets this requirement if you use no more than 2 pieces of
equipment. For further advice contact your dealer.

7. The UPS relies on your building wiring overcurrent protection, which must be rated
between 10-20 amperes.

8. W hen using the communication features on the UPS, ensure the cabling connected to
the DB9 communication port or the network connection are kept separated by 25mm
from the power leads to the UPS input and output.

2

Electromagnetic Compatibility: This equipment complies with EMC Directive 89/336/EEC and
the published technical standards. Continued compliance requires installation in accordance
with these instructions and the use of manufacturer approv ed ac ce ssories only.

CAUTION:

Although your UPS has been designed and manufactured to assure personal safety,
improper use can result in electrical shock or fire. To insure safety, please observe the
following rules:



Turn off and unplug your UPS before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. A

dry cloth is recommended to remove dust from the surface of your UPS.



Do not install or operate your UPS in or near water.



Do not place UPS on an unstable cart, stand, or table.



Do not place UPS under direct sunlight or close to heat emitting sources.



Do not place UPS power cord in any area where it may get damaged by heavy objects.



Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the UPS. Do not attempt to service the

UPS, as it has no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all repairs to qualified service
personnel.

ATTENTION:

Turn off and unplug your UPS from the outlet and contact qualified service personnel if:



The power cord or plug is damaged.



Liquid has been spilled on the UPS.



The fuse blows frequently.



The UPS does not operate even when user follows the operating instructions.

CONDITIONS OF USE:

Your UPS provides conditioned power to connected equipment. Maximum load must not
exceed that shown on UPS rating label. If uncertain, consult your distributor or Liebert.

Placing magnetic storage media on top of the UPS may result in data corruption.

correct cables.

2. Switch the AC mains supply on.

3. Press the UPS front panel control button (ON/Standby) for 2 seconds.

4. Switch your load equipment ON at their respective power switch(es).

5. Check the condition of the UPS front panel LED’s. The AC Mains / Battery LED should
be illuminated (green).

6. Check the operation of your load equipment, it should display normal operational
conditions.

7. If any function provides an abnormal condition refer to the trouble shooting guide later in
this manual. If a problem persists, contact your dealer for service advice.

Check the fuse holder at rear of UPS. If fuse is

blown, replace it and restart the UPS. If problem
persists, disconnect some of the equi pm e nt from
your UPS - the total wattage of your equipment
may exceed the capacity of the UPS. For
further help, call your Liebert representative

Turn OFF equipment and recharge UPS battery
for at least 7 to 10 hours. If problem persists,
contact your Liebert representative

COMMUNICATIONS

You can use SiteNet® MultiLink™ to allow your UPS to communicate to your
computer via your DB-9 communications port. Download MultiLink from our web
site at

MAINTENANCE

The PowerSure Personal UPS requires very little maintenance. The batteries are valve
regulated, nonspillable, lead acid, and require that they be kept charged to obtain their
designed life. When connected to the mains supply, the battery is continuously charged.

When storing the UPS for any length of time, it is recommended to plug in the UPS for at least
24 hours every four to six months to ensure full recharge of the batteries.

Battery disposal - When the battery life is expended (see alarm indications), dispose of the
discarded batteries in accordance with local environmental laws.
