Safety Warnings

The PowerPass is designed to operate with a Powerware
uninterruptible power system (UPS) and allows you to:

 Replace or upgrade the UPS without losing power to your equipment

(see Using Maintenance Bypass" on page 7).

 Provide surge protection if the UPS is not present.

 Provide extra surge protection when the UPS is present.

 Protect a laser printer against power surges without overloading the

UPS (not available on 2000 VA, 120V models).

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.

C A U T I O N

 There are NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the PowerPass. All repairs and

service should be performed by AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.

 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).

Installation

The following instructions describe the PowerPass installation only.
Follow the instructions in your Powerware 9125 User's Guide for
installing the UPS and optional Extended Battery Modules (EBMs).

1. Install the UPS and optional EBMs according to the user's
guide. Do not start up the UPS before installing the PowerPass.
Continue to Step 6.

If the UPS is already installed and operating, prepare your
equipment for shutdown and continue to Step 2.

2. Turn off the equipment that is connected to the UPS.

3. Press and hold the Off

button for approximately three
seconds. The UPS switches to Standby mode and removes
power from the UPS output receptacles.

4. Unplug the UPS from the power outlet; the UPS shuts down in
five seconds. All front panel indicators flash briefly prior to
shutdown.

On 240V units, also disconnect the input power cord from the
UPS.

5. Disconnect the power cord(s) between the protected equipment
and the UPS.

6. Remove the two screws on the UPS rear panel and discard (see
Figure 1).

7. Verify that both Bypass switches on the PowerPass are in the
UPS position (see Figure 2 through Figure 4).

8. Plug the PowerPass into the rear panel of the UPS.

9. Secure the PowerPass with the two mounting screws and

retaining washers. Do not overtighten.

10. Reconnect the power cord(s) of the protected equipment to the
power output receptacles located on the PowerPass (see page 7
for more information on load segments).

NOTE The receptacle marked LASER is provided for laser printers. The power from
this outlet does NOT come from the UPS output, but from utility power. Therefore, in
the event of a power outage, this outlet loses power.

11. Plug the UPS power cord into the UPS-input connector (or
input connector for 240V models) on the PowerPass.

12. Plug the power cord into a power outlet. All UPS front panel
indicators flash briefly and the UPS conducts a selftest.

When the self-test is complete, the

indicator flashes,

indicating the UPS is in Standby mode.

13. Start the UPS by pressing the On

button. The  indicator
stops flashing and the bar graph indicators display the
percentage of load being applied to the UPS.

The UPS is now in Normal mode and supplying power to your
equipment.

OPERATION

The PowerPass allows for the removal of the UPS while providing power
to your protected equipment. This Maintenance Bypass feature is useful
when replacing the UPS for maintenance or upgrades.

Load Segments

Load segments are sets of receptacles that can be controlled by power
management software, providing an orderly shutdown and startup of
your equipment. For example, during a power outage, you can keep key
pieces of equipment running while you turn off other equipment. This
feature allows you to save battery power. See your power management
software manual for details.

NOTE If the power management software is not used, the individual load segments
cannot be controlled.

NOTE When the PowerPass is in Bypass mode, all load segments are switched to
utility power and cannot be controlled until the PowerPass is switched back to the
UPS.

Each PowerPass has two load segments as shown in Figure 2 on page 5
through Figure 4 on page 6.

Using Maintenance Bypass

Use the following procedure to transfer your equipment to Maintenance
Bypass (AC Line operation) and remove the UPS:

1. Toggle both Bypass switches on the PowerPass to the BYPASS
position (see Figure 2 on page 5 through Figure 4 on page 6).
The PowerPass is now powering your equipment from utility
power.

2. Press and hold the Off
seconds. The UPS switches to Standby mode.
