UPS-10000, 16000 & EXT-8000 Operating Instructions

About Your UPS

Normally, your TSi Power UPS-10000 and UPS-16000 Uninterruptible Power Supplies work as constant voltage regulators and line conditioners, filtering out noise and irregularities to provide pure sinewave power to your equipment. However, when incoming AC voltage is too low or too high, or when a power outage occurs, they provide the same pure uninterrupted sinewave power from their internal batteries.

Some Features of your UPS-10000 and UPS-16000

• Automatic voltage regulation, isolation, line conditioning, common & differential noise filtering with ferro-resonant transformer.

• Zero transfer time—resulting in uninterrupted pure sinewave output.

• Extended backup time possible with additional Battery Extension Units.

• Brownout & overvoltage protection.

• 3-way voltage surge protection by heavy duty Surge Suppressors.

• Two-tone audible alarm warning for AC failure and low battery.

• Overload protection at 110% of maximum output.

• Novell, UNIX, VMS, OS/2, Windows 3.11/95/NT, Mac OS & other LAN compatible UPS alarm reporting.

• Optional true RS-232 alarm port on selected models.

About Your UPS

Operating Instructions

1) Place the UPS near a grounded (3 pronged) AC outlet, rated at 120V,

60Hz, 15A. Plug the power cord of the UPS into the AC socket. Note that the UPS will only start up when AC power is present. Therefore the UPS should be left on at all times when uninterrupted power is required.

2) Make sure that the POWER switch is OFF. Verify that the MODE

switch is in the NORMAL position. Plug in the equipment to be backed up into the outlets in the rear of the UPS. Turn the equipment off for now.

CAUTION: Make sure that your equipment does not draw more the maximum power rating of the UPS. For the UPS-10000, the maximum power rating is 750W. For the UPS-16000, the maximum power rating is 1200W.

• A PC draws between 150W and 250W (without the monitor).

• A 14" color monitor draws about 75W.

• A big screen monitor (17" & up) draws between 100W and 200W.

• A laser printer draws between 600W and 1000W.

CAUTION: A laser printer should not be backed up by your UPS unless absolutely necessary. A laser printer draws high pulsed power that may interfere with sensitive equipment.

3) Turn on the POWER switch. You should immediately hear the UPS

“humming” as it is energized. The following indicators should now turn on:

• AC ON green light.

• BAT CHRG red light should be on or flickering.

• OUTPUT VOLTAGE green bar-graph should show between 4 and 6 light segments turned on.

• BATTERY VOLTAGE red bar-graph should show between 4 and 9 light segments turned on.

4) About 5 seconds after turning on the POWER switch, your equipment will be supplied with power. As you turn your equipment on one by one, you should see the OUTPUT LOAD yellow bar-graph turn on, with increasing number of lights. Verify that all your equipment is working properly.

5) The LED bar-graph indicators give a quick and complete overview of

For the UPS-16000, a dedicated

AC socket (no other equipment on

the same line) is recommended.

For a more complete and up-to-

date guide to power requirements,

please check the accompanying

insert, “Load Ratings for Typical

Equipment”. Also, you can usually

find the power consumption printed

in the rear of the equipment.

CAUTION: It is recommended that

you not exceed 90% of your UPS’s

maximum output (8 yellow light

segments). This reduces the

likelihood that your equipment will

accidentally trigger the overload

shutoff circuitry of the UPS.

10 130 Vac 56.0 Vdc 110%

6) As a test of your UPS, you can simulate an AC power outage by unplugging the UPS from the AC outlet. As soon as you unplug the UPS, the green AC ON light should go off and the yellow INV ON light should begin to blink, indicating an AC power failure. All your equipment should continue operating normally. Also, if the ALARM switch is in the ENABLE position, the audible alarm should “beep” about once every second. You can turn off the alarm by placing the ALARM switch in the DISABLE position.

7) Plug the UPS’s power cord back into the AC outlet. After about 3 seconds, the AC ON light will turn on, the yellow INV ON light will turn off, and the red BAT CHRG light will turn on. Your equipment should continue operating normally.

8) If the power outage had been real and prolonged, the battery voltage will drop until there is only a few minutes of battery power left (3 or fewer red BATTERY VOLTAGE light segments on.) At this time, the audible alarm will come on as a continuous tone (or if the ALARM switch had been enabled, change from a beep once a second to a continuous tone.) At the same time, a warning will be sent via the alarm ports in the rear of the UPS to a file server or computer to prepare for shutdown.

9) If the AC power outage continues, and the battery drops below 42 Vdc, the UPS will shutoff, and all power to your equipment will be turned off.

The Low Battery Audible Alarm

cannot be turned off. It will

sound regardless of the

position of the ALARM Switch.

Operating Instructions

10) When AC power returns, the UPS will restart automatically, restore power to your equipment, and begin recharging the batteries. As the batteries approach full charge, in about 4 to 6 hours, the red BAT CHRG light will begin to flicker, and eventually turn off after several more hours.

11) In the event of an overload or short-circuit, the UPS will shut off immediately. When this occurs, the overload or short-circuit must be removed, and the POWER switch must be turned off, then on again, in order to re-start the UPS.

If the batteries are fully drained,

it will take longer for the BAT

CHRG light to go off completely,

sometimes as long as 24 hours.

However, when it flickers, that

indicates that the batteries are

more than 90% charged.

Network Alarm Interface & Installation

Your UPS-10000 and UPS-16000 provide UPS alarm reporting for Novell NetWare, UNIX, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, Windows NT, Mac OS & other file servers and workstations. See accompanying insert, “Accessories and Software” for a full listing of currently available UPS monitoring & shutdown software.

LAN connections are made through the ALARM port located in the rear. You should follow the instructions in your network or workstation documentation on attaching a UPS. This ALARM port is a DB-9 female connector which you can adapt for your own hardware and software to monitor the UPS.

The diagram on the left shows the pin-outs of the alarm interface port. Note that some older units may not be equipped with all the functions shown. Please contact TSi Power for more information.

If you wish to use the alarm interface port for custom applications, take into consideration the following limitations.

• Pins 3, 5 & 6 are open-collector transistor outputs, limited to switching 40V and sinking 20mA of current.

• Pins 2 and 7 are RS-232 compatible outputs. They will switch from RS-232 low (about -10V) to high (about +10V), and can drive a 25mA load.

(1) Make the connections to the phone line, your phone and modem (if any) as shown above. The LINE connector of the UPS always connects to the incoming phone line. The MODEM connector of the UPS connects to telephone equipment such as phone, modem or fax.

(2) When you are ready to place your equipment in the remote mode, turn the MODE switch (the rotary key switch) to the REMOTE position.

Caution: the power to your equipment will be immediately removed. Make sure you have saved all your work and were ready to shut off the system before taking this step. The amber light marked REMOTE should flash. Leave the UPS

on. The system is now in the REMOTE mode. (3) When you want to turn on the equipment connected to the UPS at a

later time from another location, simply dial the number of the phone line to which the UPS is connected. After 3 to 5 rings, the UPS will detect the ringing and supply power to the equipment. Also, if the phone line becomes busy—e.g. when a modem establishes connection—the UPS will continue to supply the equipment with power.

(4) When you hang up the phone, the UPS will remove power to the equipment after 30 to 40 seconds. You can redial the number and keep the equipment on within this time.

For example, suppose you wished to access a remote PC from your home. Normally, you would have to keep your remote PC turned on all the time, thus reducing its life and wasting electricity. With your TSi Power UPS, you can keep the remote PC off, and only turn it on when necessary. You would configure the remote PC to run a communications program—such as pcAnywhere or Carbon Copy—upon boot-up, and then place the UPS in the REMOTE mode, turning the remote PC off. At home, when you need to access the remote PC, you would dial the UPS, turn on the remote PC, and let your home modem and remote modem establish a connection. When finished, you can hang up, and power to the PC will be turned off automatically after 30 to 40 seconds. This process can be repeated as many times as necessary.

Many other applications are possible, to make the UPS an integral part of your computer system.

Serial RS-232 Communications (UPS-10000S & UPS-16000S only)

In the models equipped with the “S”-option, there is an additional way to communicate between the computer and the UPS. Using the RS-232 protocol for serial communications, these models can exchange information via the serial port, at rates of 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 baud. The baud rate is set by the DIP switches marked BAUD RATE, next to the serial connector, as shown.

The cable connection is made through the female DB-9 connector marked RS-232 INTERFACE, located in the rear of the UPS. Cables that link the UPS with the computer are available as an option. If you wish to make your own cable, the table below shows the pinouts of the serial ports of the UPS and typical IBM compatible PC’s.

The communications format is: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. To communicate with the UPS, the computer can send any character (byte) over the serial line. The UPS will respond within 50 ms with two bytes, containing information about the status of the UPS. Furthermore, when the status of the UPS changes—e.g. a power outage occurs—the UPS will transmit the new status to the computer automatically. The characters corresponding to the UPS status are:

AC Battery Characters Status Status Transmitted (HEX)

Fail Low 0C 0D Fail Normal 0D 0D Normal Low 0E 0D

Normal Normal 0F 0D

In a typical cycle the sequence of events may go something like this:

1) In response to a query, the UPS will respond with 0F 0D, corresponding to normal AC and battery conditions.

2) When a power outage occurs, the UPS transmits 0D 0D.

3) As the power outage continues and the battery level drops, the UPS will transmit 0C 0D.

4) When AC power returns, the UPS will transmit 0E 0D, then later as the battery becomes recharged, 0F 0D.

You can test the operation of the

serial port with the appropriate

cable and modem software.

See accompanying list of

accessories for information

about ordering cables.

Serial RS-232 Communications

Some applications may require longer backup times than available with a standalone UPS. An easy and cost effective way to extend backup time is through TSi ’s EXT-8000 Batter y Extension Units. Connecting just one EXT-8000 to an UPS-16000 will increase total backup time to about 23 minutes at full load. Additional EXT-8000’s can be daisy-chained for even longer backup times. The chart below shows backup times possible with various combinations of UPS-10000, UPS-16000 and EXT-8000.

UPS and Battery Extension Unit Connection

EXT-8000 Battery Extension Units Installation

EXT-8000 Battery Extension Units

If you need to place the Battery

Extension Units further away from

the UPS, you can purchase a 6 ft

long battery extension cable (TSi

Part # CA-8000A).

Note: The maximum load rating of

your UPS has not increased—only

the length of time it can back up

that load. So you cannot hook up

more equipment to your UPS,

above the maximum power rating,

just by adding EXT-8000’s. For

that, you need to use a larger UPS.

Trouble-shooting & Maintenance

Possible Causes

AC fuse has blown. Bad AC outlet or faulty ground wiring Overload.

Excessive inrush current. Overload or Overtemperature. Low Battery Voltage. Overtemperature.

Faulty cooling fan. Batteries getting old.

†

Improper circuit breaker rating. Overload.

Problem

Green AC ON light does not turn on.

UPS keeps shutting off.

No power to equipment when AC power outage occurs.

UPS becomes hot and shuts off.

Insufficient holdup time. Circuit breaker in the

building’s AC panel keeps tripping.

Suggested Solutions

Replace with same type & rating of fuse. Use another outlet or repair faulty wiring. Reduce load, then reset UPS (turn power switch off/

on. Reduce load during startup. Reduce load, then restart UPS. Wait for normal AC power to return to recharge. Check that the cooling fan in the rear is working

properly. Make sure air flow is not blocked. Return UPS to factory for repair.* Return UPS to factory for battery replacement.* Make sure the breaker is rated 20A or higher. Remove other equipment from the same circuit

served by the circuit breaker.

WARNING: Please do not open the case and attempt to repair the UPS. High voltages are present and there are no user servicable parts inside. Repairs can be performed only at the factory or at an authorized repair centers by qualified personnel with protective equipment. When you encounter difficulties with your UPS, please consult the relevant sections of this manual and check the trouble-shooting guide below. If you still have problems, please call TSi Power’s Customer Service at (770) 263-6063.

* Please call your dealer or TSi Power for before returning the UPS.

†

WARNING

• Do not place any equipment heavier than 30 lbs (14 kg) on top of a

rack-mounted UPS-10000, UPS-16000 or EXT-8000.

• It is strongly recommended that the UPS-10000, UPS-16000 or EXT-

8000 unit is placed on top of a weight-bearing shelf capable of supporting a minimum of 200 lbs (90 kg). Use the MK-8000A or MK-8000B (with MK-8000D for 24" racks) only to prevent front-to-back or sideto-side movements.

CAUTION

• Because the units are very heavy (80 to 130 lbs, or 36 to 60 kg), exercise

extreme caution when lifting or turning over the units. Never try to handle the unit alone. Hydraulic jack or other safe and secure means of keeping the unit in placd should be used during installation. For a safe and secure lifting, moving or positioning, 4 strong adult assistants may be required.
