This section describes how to install the Powerware 9315 Maintenance
Bypass Module (MBM). It contains instructions for installing the MBM and
basic site preparation procedures. Figure 2 shows the front and side view of the
MBM with or without transformer for a Powerware 9315 30---160kVA module.
The MBM is shipped as a separate item. Use a forklift or pallet jack to move the
packaged cabinet to the installation site, or as close as possible to the site, before
unloading.
The basic sequence of the installation steps is:
1. Prepare the site for the MBM installation.
2. Inspect, unpack, and unload the MBM.
3. Create an installation plan for wiring the MBM to the UPS system.
4. Prepare for wiring.
5. Complete the installation checklist from the PowerwareR 9315 Installation manual.
6. Have authorized service personnel perform preliminary checks and startup.
NOTE: Startup and operational checks should be performed only by authorized
service personnel. This service is usually offered as part of the sales
contract for your UPS system.

For the MBM to o perate at peak efficiency, the installation site should meet the
environmental parameters outlined in the PowerwareÒ 9315 Operation manual
provided with the UPS system. The operating environment must meet the size and
weight requirements supplied in the PowerwareÒ 9315 Installation manual provided
with the UPS system. If the MBM is to be operated at an altitude higher than 1500
meters (5000 feet), contact the local sales or service office for important information
about high altitude operation.
The basic environmental requirements for operation of the MBM are:
Ambient Temperature Range0 --- 4 0 ˚C (32 ---104˚F)
Recommended Operating Range20---25˚C (68--- 77˚F)
Maximum Relative Humidity95%
The MBM uses convection cooling to regulate internal component temperature. Air
inlets are in the front of the cabinet, and outlets are in the top. Clearance in front of
and above each cabinet for proper air circulation is essential.
Creating an Installation Plan
Before beginning to install the MBM, read and understand how this manual applies
to the system being installed. It is important to note that UPS module installation
procedures are contained in the PowerwareÒ 9315 Installation manual provided
with the UPS system. It is recommended to first understand how to install the UPS
modules. The information in Chapter 2 of this manual is a guide for installation of
the MBM to the UPS modules.
Environmental Considerations
Thelifeofthemaintenancebypassmoduleisadverselyaffectediftheinstallation
does not meet the following guidelines:
1. The MBM must be installed on a sealed concrete pad or floor.
2. The MBM must be installed in a dust-free environment.
3. The MBM must be installed in a humidity-controlled environment.
Preparing for Wiring the Maintenance Bypass Module
See Tables A-1 through A-6 in Appendix A of this manual for wiring requirements.
The power wiring for this equipment is rated at 90_C. Ifwireisruninanambient
temperature greater than 30_C, higher temperature rating and/or larger size wire
may be necessary. Wiring should be installed through the bottom or top entry of
the module. For UPS external wiring requirements, including minimum AWG size
of external wiring, see the PowerwareÒ 9315 Installation manual provided with the
UPS system.
NOTE: Material and labor for external wiring are to be provided by designated
Inspecting and Unpacking the Maintenance Bypass Module
The first task in preparing for installation of the MBM is inspecting and unpacking
the unit. The MBM arrives covered with protective packaging material as shown in
Figure 3.

The MBM pallet consists of four metal angle supports secured to plywood /pol y f oam
laminated skids. The skids act as shock absorbers for the MBM during shipment.
WARNING:
Unit is extremely heavy. If unloading instructions are not closely
followed, the unit may tip and cause serious injury.
Turning the jacking bolts unevenly may cause the unit to become
unbalanced. To prevent tipping, raise and lower the jacking bolts
evenly and sequentially. The unit should only be raised approximately

and install them in the threaded holes in the front and rear supports. Place a
floor protector underneath each jacking bolt, and screw the bolts down until
they contact the floor protectors. The floor protectors prevent the floor from
being damaged by the jacking bolts.
WARNING:
Module may fall. Do not loosen hardware attaching the side or front/rear
shipping supports to the module base. Also, do not loosen the shipping
supports from each other. The module must be lowered using jacking
bolts before the shipping supports can be removed.
3. Loosen, but do not remove the hardware holding the plywood/polyfoam skids
to the front and rear supports (labeled “1” in Figure 4 --- 8 places).
4. Turn each jacking bolt clockwise sequentially, no more than two full turns each,
until the foam cushions clear the floor by approximately 3 mm (
1/8 in.).
5. After the plywood/polyfoam skids clear the floor, remove the hardware
loosened in step 3. Pull the skids out from under the MBM. Discard or recycle
them in a responsible manner.
6. Carefully and evenly lower the MBM by turning each jacking bolt
counterclockwise in sequence no more than two full turns each (maximum)
until the supports contact the floor, and the module is no longer supported by
the jacking bolts.
7. When the module is resting on the floor, remove the jacking bolts. Discard or
When the maintenance bypass module (MBM) has been moved to its installed
location, unpacked, and inspected, it is ready for installation. This section
discusses the typical process of installing the MBM in both the line-up and match
and free-standing situations. The MBM is shown in Figure 5.
