Turning On The Main Circuit Breaker; Placing The Ups In Operate Mode; Shutting Down The System; Charging The Batteries - HP R1500 - UPS XR User Manual

Turning on the Main Circuit
Breaker
After a qualified electrician has properly wired the UPS to utility
power and has installed all electronics modules, turn on the AC
mains at the service panel. All LEDs come on for three seconds as
part of the system initialization. Each module turns on in sequence
(with approximately ten seconds between modules), synching up
with the utility power. The Utility LED (1) rapidly flashes green
during this startup process.
After all electronics modules have synchronized, the UPS enters
Standby mode, indicated by the Utility LED (1) slowly flashing
green. The system begins charging the batteries, but does not
assume the load. The UPS will remain in Standby mode
indefinitely until the UPS On command is received.
NOTE: The time required to transition from Startup mode to Standby mode
can range from 45 seconds to several minutes, depending on the charge
status of the batteries.

Charging the Batteries

With the UPS in Standby mode, allow the batteries to charge
before putting the UPS into service.
IMPORTANT: The battery modules will charge to:
•
80% of their capacity within 3 hours
•
100% of their capacity within 48 hours
Charge the batteries for at least 24 hours before supplying backup power to
your devices.
For information on operating the UPS, refer to the Operation
chapter in the user guide. For information on changing the
configuration of the UPS, refer to the Configuration chapter in the
user guide.

Placing the UPS in Operate Mode

NOTE: On initial utility startup, you may receive an Inverter Uncalibrated
alarm. Press the On button to start the autocalibration process, which lasts
approximately 2 to 4 minutes. Until you start this process, the UPS will
remain in Standby mode and continue to sound the alarm.
Press the On button (1), to transfer the system to Operate mode.

Shutting Down the System

To shut down the system:
1. Place the UPS in Standby mode by pressing the Standby button
for three seconds. The load relays open and the Utility LED (1)
begins to flash slowly.
NOTE: Press the Standby button for seven seconds to reboot the UPS.
The UPS recovers to Standby mode.
2. Disconnect the AC mains by opening the switch or circuit
breaker at the utility panel.
