4. Product Description
Many different kinds of sens i tive electri cal equipment can be protected by an U ni nterruptibl e Power Supply
(UPS) incl uding computers, workstations, process control systems, telecommunic ations sys tems, sales
terminals, other critical i nstrumentation, etc. The purpose of the UPS i s to protect these systems from poor
quality uti l i ty power, com pl ete loss of power, or other associated problems.
Electric al interference exi sts in many forms, causing pro blems in AC pow er, from lightning, power company
accidents and radio transmis sion motors, ai r conditioners, and vending machines. Prot ection of sensitive
electrical equi pment is v i tal to protect against power outages, low or high volt age conditions , slow voltage
fluctuati ons, frequency variations, differential and common-mode noise, transients, etc.
To prevent pow er line problems from reaching critical systems causing damage to software, hardware, and
equipment malfunctions, the UPS maintains constant vol tage, isolati ng critical load output and cleaning the utility
AC power.

Double Conversion On-Line Technology
A double conve rsion on-line tec hnology UPS provides complet ely isolated, clean, uninterrupted single-phase
power to your cri tical syst em s, while maintaining the batteries for their maximum potential. In the event t hat the
power failure lasts longer than the UPS bac kup time, the UPS w i ll shut down avoiding battery damage. When
the input AC voltage returns, the UPS wil l autom atically ret urn onl ine to recharge the batteries.
As shown i n fig. 1 block diagram:
• An input filter reduces transients on the inc oming utility .
• To maintain full battery char ge, the AC input power is rectified and regulated in the rectifier feeding
power to the batt ery converter and inverter.
• DC power is converted to AC i n the inverter, passing it on to the load.
• Power is mai ntained from the bat tery during a power failure.
• The converte r increases voltage appropri ately for the inv erter.
When the UPS is started, a diagnos tic test is automatically ex ecuted, check ing the electronic s and batteries,
reporting any problems on the LCD display. A diagnostic test can also be performed manually from the front
panel at any t ime.

6. Determining the Power Requirements of your Equipment
A. Make sure the total Volt-Amp (VA) requi rements of your connected equipment does not exceed the
maximum VA rating for the UPS. The maximum VA rati ngs are shown in the Specificati ons section of this
document.
B. Ensure that the equipm ent plugged int o the battery-powered outlet s does not exceed t he UPS rated
capacity . If UPS rated capac i ties are exceeded, an overload c ondi tion may occur and cause the UPS to shut
down and trip the c i rcuit breaker.
C. If the power requirements of your equi pm ent are lis ted in values other t han Volt-Amps (VA), convert Watts
(W) or Amps (A) i nto VA by doing the calculations below. Note: T he equation below only calculates the
maximum amount of VA that the equi pm ent can use, not what is typi cally used by the equipment at any
given time. Users should expec t usage requirements to be appr oximately 60% of the value to es timate
power requirements:
Watts (W) x 1.43 = _____ VA or _____ Amps (A) x 120 = _____ VA
Add the totals for all of the equipm ent and multiply this total by 0.65 to calc ul ate actual power requirements.

CAUTION : It i s ver y critical to conn ect the correct vol tage EBP with th e UPS intended.
UPS-BPX-1500 is for SX-BDL-1500/UPS-1500-OL
UPS-BPX-2000 is for SX-BDL-2000/UPS-2000-OL/UPS-3000-OL
Connecting the incorrect ba ttery pack to the UPS may result in damage to the UPS and/or battery p ack
will void th e w arr an ty.
All EBPs have a different DC vo ltage configuration intended onl y for the UPS’s listed above. Please do
not mix BPX’ s an d make sure you only connect the EBP to li ke EBPs or UPS indicated above. DC
voltages are mar ked on both the UP S and the EBP – MAKE SURE THEY MATCH.
The Charging LED GREEN indi cates that the battery charger in the Ex tended Battery Pack is charging normally
with the AC power cord attached t o the Battery pack.
The Battery Test LED GREEN indicates that the DC output of the E xtended Battery Pack (EBP) is normal. To
perform the Battery Test,
• switch the breaker on the rear of the EBP to ON posit ion
• press the Bat tery Test But ton on the front panel of the EBP
• the DC output from the EBP is normal when the Battery Test LE D i s illuminated
Prior to connecting EBP’s, test each EBP to as sure proper operation.
Extended Battery Pack Option
The UPS System can be connect ed to multiple ext ended battery packs to increas e the runtime when connec ted
to the UPS supporting the load. Most UPS Systems are limited to one or two external battery packs because the
UPS is responsible for the recharging and does not have the recharge capacit y to handle the addi tional batteri es
to a full recharge. The UPS S ystem overcomes this limitati on by equipping each ex tended battery pack (EBP)
with its own charger, providing the user a way t o achieve signif icantly more bat tery backup tim e. Not all of the
AC input power cords for the EBPs need t o be connected to AC - the more you connect the faster the recharge
of the batteries.
1. The DC Circuit Breaker on the rear of the EBP connects and disconnects the DC bus voltage from the
EBP to the UP S . The DC Circuit Break er will also trip to the OFF posit ion in the event of an over-current
condition in t he E BP.
2. The EBP’s us e a cable s hipped wit h each EBP to “daisy
chain” together addition al EBP’s to the first EBP being
connected to the UPS in the appropriately labeled
connector, or f or connecting t he first EBP to the UPS.
Models: UPS -1500-OL, UPS-2000-OL, UPS-3000-OL
SX-BDL-1500, SX-BDL-2000
3. The AC input cord is for connecting AC utility to operate the
Charger contained in each EBP
4. The input AC Circuit Breaker will trip to the OFF position in the event that the internal EBP charger
draws excessive current.
CAUTION : E xten d ed Battery Pack (EBP) Installation should be performed by qualified service personnel.
1. Verify that the DC circui t breaker on the rear p anel of the EBP is i n the OFF position.
2. Turn the UPS OFF and disconnect the UPS Input Cord from the AC wall out let.
3. Remove the EBP connector cover from the UPS rear panel.
4. Connect the external DC battery cable from t he EBP to the appropriate connect or on the UPS.
5. Secure the DC battery cable to both the rear of t he UPS and the rear of the E BP by using M3 x 8
screws provided (2 each per connector end).
6. Repeat the above procedure f or testing and se curing each additional EBP required.
CAUTION : Do not use extension cord s when connecting input AC power to UPS or EBP’s
7. Move the DC ci rcuit breaker on the r ear of each EBP to the ON position. At this point the UPS will need
to be started.
8. If the EBP’s are plugged into an A C source and properly installed, the internal batteries will be charged
when acceptabl e voltage is present. EBP’ s must be charged for a mini mum of 6 hours for full battery
time.
N
OTE: If the EBP is going to be out of service or s tored for six mont hs or longer, the bat teries must be recharged
1. Which EBP’s do I connect to an AC input source?
It is possi bl e to plug in every EB P into an AC input source. T he m ore connect ed the faster the
recharge time. It is recommended that every third EBP be connec ted to incoming AC utility to
properly charge the batteri es in a complete s ystem. Leaving too m any chargers c onnected may
cause an over charge situation which could da m age the batteries .
2. Which LED’ s ar e su p p o sed to be lit on the fr o n t o f each EBP?
When an EBP is connected to an AC input source and t he unit is charging, a GREEN LED on the
front of the EBP will be illumi nated.
3. Are any LED’s on the front of the EB P supposed to be lit if it is not connected to an AC inp u t
source?
No. The UPS and/or the EBP’s t hat are plugged int o an AC input source are responsible for
charging the ent ire system. The EBP is still working and has the c apability of prov i ding DC voltage
when needed. N o LE D on the front bezel will be illuminated.
4. The EBP is co n n ected to an AC input source, why does the LED on th e fr o n t of the EBP turn
ON and OFF inter mittently, and does this mean this E BP is not workin g ?
The GREEN LED on the front of each E BP indicates that the charger contained in the EBP i s
charging. Under certain con di tions when the batteries are 100% charged, the charger in the E BP
will shut off and the LED will no longer be illuminated. This is norm al operation for the EBP. The
EBP is work i ng properly.\
5. Why don’t the LED’s on each EBP connected to an AC input source turn ON and OFF at the
same time?
The charger on each EBP funct ions independently from the others. One EBP charger m ay be
charging whi l e another one might be at 100% and the charger turned of f. This is norm al operation of
the EBP.
