SECTION 1 Introduction Overview The FirstLine P Maintenance Bypass Switch Cabinet for 160 kVA, 200 kVA, 250 kVA with 480 V Input and Output is a steel cabinet that attaches to the side of the UPS cabinet, thereby extending the cabinet, and providing the maintenance bypass function. The cabinet has conduit attachment points at the top and the bottom for maximum flexibility in wiring the source and load power connections.
Applicability This equipment can be applied to UPS models FLU-160-00, FLU-200-00, and FLU-250-00. These UPS models operate at 480 V, 60 Hz and can be wired as delta in and delta out (3 wire plus ground) or wye in and wye out (4 wire plus ground).
SECTION 2 SAFETY WARNINGS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • Do not use outdoors. • Do not route wiring across or near hot surfaces. • Do not install near gas or electric heaters. •...
CAUTION The UPS associated with this equipment contains batteries. Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit current. Observe proper precautions. Servicing should only be performed by qualified service personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries. Read, understand, and follow all instructions in the ups manual before attempting any operations involving the battery.
SECTION 3 Cabinet Setup This SECTION describes: Equipment inspection Floor loading and clearances Removing and replacing the cabinet panels Unloading the cabinet(s) Attaching the cabinet to the UPS Inspecting the Equipment If any equipment has been damaged during shipment, keep the shipping and packing materials for the carrier or place of purchase and file a claim for shipping damage.
Unloading the Cabinet(s) The following tools are required for unloading the cabinet(s): Wrenches for 3/8” lag bolts. Forklift or pallet jack CAUTION The cabinets are heavy (see Table 2). Unloading the cabinets requires at least two people to safely remove the cabinets from the pallet. To remove the Maintenance Bypass Switch cabinet from the ship pallet: Make sure the forklift is rated for the cabinet weight.
Attaching the Cabinet to the UPS The Maintenance Bypass Switch cabinet was constructed so that it can be mounted to the side of the UPS cabinet if desired. To attach the Maintenance Bypass Switch Cabinet to the UPS Cabinet: 1. Remove right side panel of UPS and save hardware. 2.
SECTION 4 Electrical Installation Overview Each of the pieces of equipment covered by this manual has four sets of power connections: 1. Input from the power source, typically, from the electric utility. 2. Power routed to the input of the UPS. If the bypass and rectifier inputs are powered from separate sources, the bypass input must be fed from the MBS.

Wiring Installation 1. Switch off utility power to the distribution point where the UPS will be connected. Be absolutely sure that there are no hazardous voltages present. Use lockout/tagout procedures to assure safety. 2. Remove as many panels as needed for adequate access for wiring the cabinet. Open the front door of the MBS Cabinet.
Control Connections Four control connections must be made between the Maintenance Bypass Switch Cabinet (MBS) and the UPS in order to provide backfeed protection, a required safety feature The wiring to these low voltage (“ELV”) connections must be kept separated from the higher voltage wiring.
SECTION 5 Operation Refer to the User's Manual for the UPS for instructions on operating the UPS part of the system. If the UPS is part of a parallel system, special operating instructions apply. Maintenance Bypass Switch (MBS) The purpose of the Maintenance Bypass Switch (MBS) is to facilitate servicing the UPS without removing power from the load.

SECTION 6 Maintenance There are no wear items in the MBS that require periodic replacement. However, regular care will assure maximum availability of power. Keep the ventilation openings in the cabinet free of dust and debris. Wipe the cabinet exterior with a soft cloth, slightly dampened with water, to remove dust. Consider performing periodic infrared temperature measurements on the circuit breaker terminations.
