CHAPTER 1

POWERWARE 5115 - INTRODUCTION

The Powerware 5115 uninterruptible power system (UPS) protects your sensitive electronic equipment from power problems such as power failures, power sags, power surges, brownouts, and line noise.

Power failure can occur when you least expect it and power quality can be erratic. Power problems have the potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions and damage hardware - causing hours of lost productivity and expensive repairs.

With the Powerware 5115, you can safely eliminate the effects of power disturbances and guard the integrity of your equipment. The Powerware 5115’s flexibility to handle an array of network devices makes it the perfect choice to protect your LANs, servers, workstations and other electrical equipment.

Powerware 5115 - Introduction

Because an integral part of power protection is power management software, the Powerware 5115 comes fully equipped with a communication port, USB port, serial cable and a CD containing both LanSafe III for networked systems and FailSafe III for standalone systems.

Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the Powerware 5115’s unique benefits include the following:

• Advanced Battery Management (ABM ™) doubles battery service life, optimises recharge time and provides advanced warning before the end of battery life.

• Buck and Boost voltage regulation ensures consistent voltage to your load by correcting voltage fluctuations.

• Hot-swappable batteries simplify maintenance by allowing you to replace batteries safely without powering down the critical load.

• Network Transient Protector guards your modem, fax machine and other network communications equipment from surges.

• Start-on-battery capability allows you to power up the UPS even if utility power is not available.

• The Powerware 5115 is backed by worldwide agency approvals.

Inspecting the Equipment

If the UPS has been damaged during shipment, contact your vendor immediately.

Safety Precautions

Read the following precautions before you install the UPS.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• 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. Do not operate near water or

excessive humidity (95% max).

• To comply with international standards, the sum of earth leakage current from the load connected to the UPS must not exceed 1.5 mA.

Installation

Installing the UPS

The following steps explain how to install the UPS. Figure 2 shows a typical installation only. See “UPS Rear Panels” on page 6 for the rear panel of each model.

2. Plug the power cord supplied into the input connector on the UPS rear panel.

3. Plug the UPS power cord into a power outlet.

Figure 2. Typical UPS Installation

4. Plug the equipment to be protected into the UPS outlet sockets.

DO NOT protect laser printers with the UPS because of the exceptionally high power requirements of the heating elements.

5. Start the UPS by pressing the button as shown in Figure 2. The indicator illuminates, indicating that power is available from the UPS output receptacles.

The UPS conducts a self-test and enters Normal mode. If the alarm beeps or a UPS alarm indicator stays on, see Table 8 on page 26.

The installation is complete. To learn how to operate the UPS, see “Operation” on page 9.

NOTE The batteries charge to 90% capacity in approximately 3 hours. However, it is recommended that the batteries charge for 6 to 24 hours after installation or long-term storage.
