CAUTION: Safety of persons The UPS has its own internal power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized even if the UPS is disconnected from the AC-power source. Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. It should be opened exclusively by qualified service personnel. The UPS must be properly earthed.

2.3 Connecting the protected equipment A Pulsar Evolution 1500 tower UPS has been used below to illustrate the instructions. The principle is the same for all the other tower and rack models. Check that the indications on the rating plate on the back of the UPS correspond to your AC-power system and to the actual electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the UPS.
21 or 22 to the RS232 2 or USB 1 communications port on the UPS. The UPS can now communicate with all MGE UPS SYSTEMS supervision, set-up or safety software. The data-line protection function on the UPS eliminates overvoltages flowing on the com- puter-network lines.

3. Operation 3.1 Start-up Note: The battery is charged as soon as the UPS is connected to the AC-power source, even if button 10 is in the OFF position. 3.2 Shift to booster or fader mode (during voltage variations in the AC-input power) Page 18 - 3400723200/AC Press the ON / OFF button 10 .
3.3 Operation on battery power (following failure of AC-input power) Transfer to battery power Threshold for the low-battery warning The UPS automatically restarts when power returns. If the UPS does not restart, check that the “automatic restart when power returns” function has not been disabled (see sec- tion 3.4 Personalization).
3. Operation 3.4 Personalization (optional) Function Personalization parameters can be set and modified using the UPS Driver software installed on a computer that is connect- ed to the UPS (see section 2.4 Connection to the RS232 or USB communications port). Check that the RS232 21 communications cable is connected.

4.2 Replacement of the battery module Tower models Safety rules Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries. Batteries constitute a danger (electrical shock, burns). The short-circuit current may be very high. Precautions must be taken for all handling: remove all watches, rings, bracelets and any other metal objects;...
