Inspecting the Equipment
If any equipment has been damaged during shipment, keep the shipping
cartons and packing materials for the carrier or place of purchase and
file a claim for shipping damage. If you discover damage after
acceptance, file a claim for concealed damage.
To file a claim for shipping damage or concealed damage: 1) File with
the carrier within 15 days of receipt of the equipment; 2) Send a copy of
the damage claim within 15 days to your service representative.
Safety Precautions
Read the following precautions before you install the UPS.
I M P O R T A N T S A F E T Y I N S T R U C T I O N S
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions that you
should follow during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Please
read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for future
reference.

Installation
W A R N I N G
This UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may
carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes
the safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and
humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient
temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). Do not operate near water or
excessive humidity (95% max).
With the exception of the user-replaceable battery, all servicing of this equipment
must be performed by qualified service personnel.
Before maintenance or repair, all connections must be removed. Before
maintenance, repair, or shipment, the unit must be completely switched off and
unplugged or disconnected.
C A U T I O N
Important Notice: The UPS ground (earth) conductor carries leakage current from
the loads in addition to any leakage current generated by the UPS. This UPS
generates no more than 0.5 mA of current (120V Model), or 1 mA of current
(230V Model).
To limit the total leakage current to 3.5 mA, the load leakage must be limited to
3 mA on the 120V Model and 2.5 mA on the 230V Model.
If you do not know the load leakage current, replace the UPS power cord
(230V Model only) with a power cord that uses a locking plug with a minimum
rating of 10A (such as IEC 309).
If you do not have a matching receptacle, consult an electrician to install the
proper receptacle.
The three-wire receptacle that you plug the UPS into must have a good
(low-impedance) ground (protective earth) connection to provide a safe path for
leakage current.

Quick Startup
Installation
The Powerware 3110 provides protection against many power problems,
including power outages. It also provides spike suppression and line
noise filtering to protect your equipment.
1. On 230V Models, plug the UPS power cord into the input
connector on the UPS side panel.
2. Plug the equipment to be protected into the UPS output
receptacles.
DO NOT protect laser printers with the UPS because of the
exceptionally high power requirements of the heating elements.
3. Start the UPS by pressing the
switch as shown in Figure 3
or Figure 4 on page 5. The Power indicator illuminates
indicating that power is available from the UPS output
receptacles.
The units beeps and the front panel LEDs illuminate several
times. The green indicator remains on, indicating normal
operation.
If the unit continues to beep, or if the green indicator is off
even though input power is available from the wall outlet, see
Troubleshooting" on page 15.
NOTE Let the unit charge the battery for at least 3 hours. You may use the unit while
the battery charges, but the battery backup runtime will be reduced until the battery is
fully charged. This will take up to 8 hours after a full discharge while the UPS is fully
loaded.
4. Please fill out and return the warranty registration card. If you
are in the USA or Canada and would like to activate the
Transient Voltage Surge Suppression warranty, return the card
within 10 days of installation.

Communication Port
Powerware Corporation offers an accessory interface kit that allows you
to connect many types of computer systems to the UPS communication
port. For specific information on Powerware Corporation interface kits,
call your service representative.
Pinouts
Contacts consist of open collector circuits capable of switching up to
+30 Vdc, 6 mA resistive load.
Table 1. Communication Port Pin Assignment
Pin Signal Type Function
1 RS-232 Level Shutdown +12 Vdc signal held for 5 seconds on this pin shuts the UPS
down 120 seconds later. The UPS restarts after 15 seconds
when utility power returns.

Features
Battery Start Feature
The Battery Start feature allows you to turn on the UPS when utility
power is not available. The battery-start range is up to about 40% of
nominal input; otherwise, the UPS displays an input voltage fault and
the alarm beeps.
Network Transient Protector
The Network Transient Protector is located on the side panel and has
jacks labeled IN and OUT. This feature accommodates a RJ11
telephone connector that provides protection for modems, fax machines,
or other telecommunications equipment. As with most modem
equipment, it is not advisable to use this jack in digital PBX (Private
Branch Exchange) environments.
Low voltage models can also accommodate a single RJ45 (10BaseT)
network connector.
Connect the input connector of the equipment you are protecting to the
jack labeled IN. Connect the output connector to the jack labeled OUT.

UPS MAINTENANCE
This section explains how to:
Care for the UPS and batteries
Replace the batteries
Recycle used batteries
UPS and Battery Care
For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS
clean and dustfree. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of
the system with a vacuum cleaner.
For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of
25°C (77°F).
Storing the UPS
If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every
6 months by plugging the UPS into a power outlet.
Replacing Batteries
The Powerware 3110's battery is user-replaceable. Before replacing the
battery, make sure that you read the safety information below.
Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit
current. The following precautions should be observed: 1) Remove watches, rings,
or other metal objects; 2) Use tools with insulated handles; 3) Do not lay tools or
metal parts on top of batteries.
ELECTRIC ENERGY HAZARD. Do not attempt to alter any battery wiring or
connectors. Attempting to alter wiring can cause injury.
Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally
installed in the UPS.
DO NOT DISCONNECT the batteries while the UPS is in Battery mode.

+),
10. Replace the battery cover by pushing the cover until it snaps
into place securely. Replace any battery cover screws that were
removed to access the battery.
11. Turn the UPS right side up. Reconnect the UPS power cord and
turn the unit on.
12. Reconnect the equipment. Switch on the protected equipment
one piece at a time.
Recycling the Used Battery
Contact your local recycling or hazardous waste center for information
on proper disposal of the used battery.
Do not dispose of the battery or batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode. Proper
disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements.
Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to
the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
UPS Maintenance
W A R N I N G
Do not discard the UPS or the UPS batteries in the trash. This product contains sealed,
leadacid batteries and must be disposed of properly. For more information, contact
