IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read before installing product
Note
3400723200/AC - Page 3
Introduction
CAUTION: Safety of persons
◗ The UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized even if the UPS is
disconnected from the AC-power source.
◗ Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel.
◗ The UPS must be properly earthed. Measurements are required to ensure that the total leakage current of the UPS and the
protected equipment does not exceed 3.5 mA by checking their characteristics (maximum leakage current of the UPS = 2 mA).
◗ The battery supplied with the UPS contains small amounts of toxic materials. To avoid accidents, the directives listed below
must be observed:
- Never burn the battery (risk of explosion).
- Do not attempt to open the battery (the electrolyte is dangerous for the eyes and skin).
- Comply with all applicable regulations for the disposal of the battery.
- Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high. Precautions must be
taken for all handling: remove watches, rings, bracelets and any other metal objects, use tools with insulated handles.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
CAUTION: Product safety
◗ The UPS connection instructions and operation described in the manual must be followed in the indicated order.
◗ UPS must be connected to a nearby wall outlet that is easily accessible. The UPS can be disconnected from the AC-power
source by removing the power cord.
◗ Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to your AC-power system and to the actual electrical consumption of
all the equipment to be connected to the UPS.
◗ Never install the UPS near liquids or in an excessively damp environment.
◗ Never let a foreign body penetrate inside the UPS.
◗ Never block the ventilation grates of the UPS.
◗ Never expose the UPS to direct sunlight or source of heat.
◗ If the UPS must be stored prior to installation, storage must be in a dry place.
◗ The admissible storage temperature range is -25ºC to +55ºC.
Special precautions
◗ All handling operations will require at least two people (unpacking, installation in rack system).
◗ Once installed and connected to the AC power source for the first time, the battery will start to charge. Full charging to obtain
the rated battery backup time requires at least 8 hours.
◗ Before and after the installation, if the UPS remains de-energized for a long period, the UPS must be energized for a period of
24 hours, at least once every 6 months (for a normal storage temperature less than 25°C). This charges the battery, thus
avoiding possible irreversible damage. During the replacement of the battery module, it is imperative to use the same type and
number of element previously mounted in the UPS, in order to maintain an identical level of performance and safety. In case of
doubt, don’t hesitate to contact our after sales department (for more information, refer to the web site www.mgeups.com).

It is not necessary to shut down the UPS to install the communications card.
This operation must be carried out by qualified personnel.
The booster and fader functions maintain the output voltage supplied by
the UPS within close tolerances around the rated value even if significant
voltage variations occur in the AC-input power. This avoids calling on battery power.
The values defining the voltage range may be set using the UPS Driver
software.
During operation in booster or fader mode, LED 16 is ON, signalling a
significant voltage variation in the AC-input power.
Note: The battery is charged as soon as the UPS is connected to the AC-power source, even if button 10 is in the OFF
position.

Backup time Time that the connected equipment can operate on battery power if AC-input power
fails.
Bargraph Device on the front panel indicating the percent remaining backup time or the percent
load.
Booster mode Automatic UPS operating mode whereby the input-power voltage is increased if it drops
below a value set in the personalization parameters, thus avoiding a battery discharge.
De-energized The UPS must be physically disconnected from the AC-input power.
Equipment Devices and systems connected to the UPS output.
Fader mode Automatic UPS operating mode whereby the input-power voltage is decreased if it rises
above a value set in the personalization parameters, thus avoiding a battery discharge.
Input circuit breaker Circuit breaker protecting the upstream distribution system against UPS faults.
Personalization The parameters for a number of UPS functions may be modified using the UPS Driver
software to adapt UPS operation to user needs.
Programmable receptacles Pulsar Evolution has two programmable receptacles. They may be used for sequential
start-up of protected equipment, shedding of non-critical loads during operation on
battery power or management of operating priorities to provide the most critical devices
with more backup time before battery power runs out. These receptacles may be
programmed using the Solution-Pac software on the CD-ROM supplied with the UPS.
Receptacles Receptacle that allows you to connect the equipment you want to protect.
RS232 communications port For UPS connection to a computer via the serial port.
Solution-Pac MGE UPS SYSTEMS safety, set-up and supervision software suite on the CD-ROM
supplied with the UPS.
