◗ LEDs OFF: the outlets are not supplied with power.
◗ LEDs flashing: status change in progress.
◗ LEDs ON: the outlets are supplied with power.
Outlets 1 and 2 can be remotely programmed and controlled. They may
be used for sequential start-up of the protected applications, shedding of
non-priority applications during operation on battery power, and priority
management at the end of battery backup time to reserve the longest
possible backup time for the most sensitive applications. These outlets
are programmed using Solution Pac software.

The buzzer beeps every three seconds.
There is very little remaining battery backup time. Close all
applications because UPS automatic shutdown is imminent.
End of backup time
The UPS goes to sleep mode at the end of the battery backup time until complete shutdown due to tripping of the batteryprotection function against deep discharge.
Return of AC input power:
If, in spite of the return of AC input power, the UPS does not restart, check that the automatic-restart function
(activated by return of AC input power) has not been disabled (see section 3.4).

3.4 Personalisation (optional)
Function
Personalisation parameters can be set and modified using the UPS Driver software installed on a computer that is
connected to the UPS (see section 2.4 Connection to the RS232 communications port).
Check that the RS232 30 cable is properly connected.
UPS Driver installation:
1 - Insert the Solution-Pac CD-ROM containing the UPS Driver software in the computer drive.
2 - Open the Windows file manager or explorer and select the CD drive.
3 - Run "\Emb\Config\UPSDRVxx.exe", where xx is the software version.
It is also possible to download the UPS Driver software from the www.mgeups.com site.

3.6 UPS remote power off
Pulsar EXtreme C is equipped with a remote power off function (RPO) that can cut power to all the devices connected to
the UPS using a remote user-operated contact.
The function is implemented by opening a contact connected to the two terminals of connector 12 on the back of the UPS.
1237 38
Installation and test of the remote power off function
1 - Check that the UPS is shut off and disconnected to the AC-power source.
2 - Remove the RPO connector 12 by undoing the screws 37 .
3 - Connect an insulated dry contact (NC, 60 V DC, 30 V AC max., 20 mA max., cable size 0.75 mm2) to the two terminals
of the RPO connector 38 .
4 - Put the RPO connector 12 back in place on the back of the UPS.
5 - Connect the UPS to the AC-power source and restart it as indicated previously.
6 - Activate the RPO external contact to test the function.
7 - To return to normal operation, deactivate the RPO external contact and restart the UPS using button 16 (press OFF,
then ON).

4. Maintenance
4.1 Troubleshooting
If any of LEDs 25 , 26 or 27 flash, there is a operating anomaly or an alarm.
If a LED flashes, the bargraph data is no longer displayed.
Indication
LED 27 flashes and the
buzzer beeps.
LED 25 flashes and the
buzzer beeps.
LED 25 flashes and the
buzzer emits a long beep
once per hour.
The yellow LED 24
flashes, the red indicator
light 11 behind the UPS
comes on and the buzzer
sounds continuously.
Diagnostic
UPS overload. Overload is too long or too high.
◗ If AC power is present and within tolerances, the UPS
goes to bypass mode (supply directly by the AC-power
source). LED 19 flashes.
The buzzer beeps every seconds.
◗ If AC power is not present or not within tolerances,
the connected applications are no longer supplied.
The buzzer sounds continuously.
A battery fault was detected during the automatic
battery test.
The battery has reached the theoretical end of its
service life.
The function for monitoring the phase and neutral
position of your electrical network has detected a
reversal.
Correction
Check the power drawn by the
equipment and disconnect any nonpriority devices.
◗ Check that the battery connector is
fully pushed in.
◗ Replace battery module (see the
Maintenance section).
◗ Reset the alarm by pressing
buttons 22 and 23 simultaneously
for 3 seconds.
◗ It is advised to replace the battery.
See the section on maintenance.

networks: to correct cabling, unplug
and turn the network socket, of the
DIN-SCHUKO type, by 180 degrees
or contact an electrician to modify
your electrical network.
For all other network types, deactivate the detection function (this
function is only operational for
directly earthed neutral electrical
networks):
Press for at least 5 seconds the
pushbutton 10 behind the UPS
(UPS stopped and connected to the
network for less than 30 minutes).

4. Maintenance
Indication
The outlets are not
supplied with power, even
though button 16 is ON
(version 3200C only).
LED 26 flashes and the
buzzer sounds
continuously.
Signification
One of the protection circuit breakers 6 for the
outlets on the back of the UPS is open.
UPS electronics have detected a UPS fault.
Depending on the UPS personalisation parameters
(see section 3.4), there are two possibilities:
◗ the equipment connected to the UPS continues to be
supplied, but directly from the AC-power source (via
the automatic bypass (LED 19 ON);
◗ the connected equipment is no longer supplied.
The equipment connected to the UPS is no
longer protected.
Correction
◗ Check that there is not a short-
circuit on the outlets.
◗ Eliminate any overloads on the
outlets by modifying the distribution
of devices on the outlets.
◗ Restart the UPS.
Call the after-sales support
department.

4.2 Replacement of the battery module
Safety rules:
Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high. Precautions
must be taken for all handling:
◗ remove all watches, rings, bracelets and any other metal objects;
◗ use tools with insulated handles.
