SYSTEM OVERVIEW

This Line-Interactive UPS protects computers, internetworking, and telecom­munications equipment from blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, and surges.
The A VR function continuously corrects the voltages, in-between the brownout
and overvoltage transfer points (80 - 164V AC/150 - 271V AC), to a safe usable
level. When the UPS is operating in the AVR mode the audible alarm will
remain silent and the Boost or the Buck indicator will blink. During normal A C
operation, the UPS will quietly and confidently protect your system from power
anomalies.

The UPS will charge the batteries with the UPS in the on or off position as long
as the UPS is plugged into the wall outlet and there is an acceptable AC volt age
present (80 - 164V AC/150 - 271V AC). NOTE: The input circuit breaker MUST
be in the on position for the 208V models. When a blackout, brownout, or an
overvoltage condition occurs; the UPS will transfer to the battery mode, the On­Battery indicator will illuminate and the audible alarm will sound once every ten­seconds indicating that the commercial power is lost or unacceptable. When
the commercial power returns or is at an acceptable level, the UPS will auto­matically transfer back to the AC normal mode and st art recharging the batter­ies. During an extended outage when there is approximately two-minutes of
backup time remaining the audible alarm will sound twice every five-seconds.
This Low Battery Warning is letting the user know that they should save all
open files and turn off their computer . When the batteries reach the predeter­mined level the UPS will automatically shutdown protecting the batteries from
over discharging. Once the commercial power returns the UPS will automati­cally restart, providing safe usable power to the connected equipment and start
recharging the batteries.

TURNING THE UNIT ON/OFF

On / Off / T est Button

Press and release the On/Off/Test Button after one beep to turn the UPS on
and supply power to the load. NOTE: The input circuit breaker MUST be in the
on position for the 208V models to turn the UPS on. The load is immediately
powered while the UPS runs a five-second self test. Press and release the On/
Off/T est Button af ter one beep to turn the UPS off. NOTE: T urn the input circuit
breaker to the off position for the 208V models. The UPS will continue to
charge the batteries whenever it is plugged into a wall outlet and there is ac­ceptable AC voltage present.

16

English

COMMUNICATIONS PORTS (RS232 and USB)

The RS232 communication port is a standard DB9 female with both RS232 and
simulated contact closure capability. The UPS will poll the port and activate
the port for RS232 or contact closure in accordance with the type of cable it
finds connected to the port. To change the port configuration requires the unit
be turned off and restarted with the desired cable connected. The pinout for the
port is depicted per the chart below:
Pin 1: Simulated contact closure Low Battery Warning, NO
Pin 2: /TXD
Pin 3: /RXD and receive UPS shutdown command (connect to pin 9 for 4­seconds. The shutdown command is only active in the battery mode)
Pin 4: Not Used
Pin 5: Ground
Pin 6: Not Used
Pin 7: Not Used
Pin 8: Simulated contact closure AC fail, NO
Pin 9: Atx Signal (high level: +12V +/-2V, low level: -15V +/- -2V)

DIPSWITCH SETTINGS

The dipswitch setting may be changed by the user to set the desired Inverter
(On-Battery) output voltage. The dipswitch must be set to the desired Inverter
(On-Battery) output voltage and then the UPS must be turned off and restarted
to reconfigure the microprocessor and save the changes. The Inverter (On­Battery) output voltage setting can be either 120V AC (208V AC) default or 127VAC
(240V AC). Changing the Inverter (On-Battery) output voltage to 127V AC, will
also change the Buck setpoint. Changing the Inverter (On-Battery) output volt­age to 240V AC, will also change the Brownout, Boost, Buck and Overvoltage
setpoints.

SELF TEST

The self test feature is useful to verify the correct operation of the UPS and the
condition of the batteries. With the UPS in the AC normal mode, press and
hold the On/Off/Test Button for four beeps, then release the button. The UPS
will perform a ten-second self test. During the self test, the UPS will switch to
battery power and the On-Battery LED will illuminate and the audible alarm will
sound. The length of the test that is automatically performed every two weeks
is longer than the start-up or user invoked test. This test will run for approxi­mately fifteen-seconds to measure the battery’s capability to provide an ac­ceptable amount of runtime. If the UPS fails a self test, one of the LEDs will
remain illuminated indicating the type of problem. NOTE: The UPS will auto­matically perform a self test on start-up and every two weeks.

LOAD SHEDDING FUNCTION

The output receptacles are electrically wired into two segments to support the
"Load Shedding Function". The user can control the two segments individually
or both at the same time. The Load Shedding Function is controllable by the
Power Monitoring Software or the SNMP card.

17

English

WEAK/BAD BATTERY

The UPS automatically tests the battery’s condition and will illuminate the Weak/
Bad Battery LED and sound the alarm. This alarm will be repeated until the
batteries pass a self test. If the battery is weak, bad or disconnected, the
Weak/Bad Battery LED will illuminate and the alarm will beep three times every
five-minutes until the battery is reconnected or replaced. It is recommended
that the UPS be allowed to charge overnight before performing a battery test to
confirm a Weak/Bad Battery condition.
NOTE: If the UPS has a Weak/Bad Battery Alarm after reconnecting or replac­ing the batteries, the user must initiate a self test to clear the Weak/Bad Bat­tery Alarm. To initiate a self test see section 4 "SELF TEST ".

OVERLOAD

When the amount of load attached to the UPS exceeds its power rating, the
Overload LED will illuminate (AC mode only) and the UPS will sound a constant
alarm (AC and Battery modes). This alarm will remain on until the excess load
is removed or the UPS’s self protection circuit shuts the UPS down. If the UPS
shuts down because of an Overload condition in the battery mode, the UPS
must perform an Inverter function or a Self Test to clear the Overload Alarm.

POWER MONITORING SOFTWARE

The UPS comes with a Power Monitoring Software CD. See the software CD
for the installation of the Power Monitoring Software.
