Page 6 General The AMETEK Powervar RT Series UPM systems are the most advanced, line interactive, true sinewave UPS products available for your application. Each model is designed to provide total protection for your system from a complete range of power quality problems.
Page 7 This type of activity results in unnecessary strain on the battery and may eventually shorten its life. AMETEK Powervar’s RT Series products feature Voltage Manager – a circuit that constantly monitors the AC source.
Page 8 User Replaceable Battery Eventually every RT requires new batteries. AMETEK Powervar expects the battery in your RT Series to last a minimum of two years – perhaps longer if power outages are short and infrequent. The RT Series makes battery replacement by the user fast and easy.
Page 9: Safety Instructions
Always observe proper precautions. When replacing batteries, use the same quantity, rating and type of batteries used by AMETEK Powervar. The batteries used in this RT Series are sealed lead-acid and are maintenance free. Proper disposal of batteries is required.
Page 10 NOTE: • Do not disassemble the RT. • Do not attempt to power the RT from any receptacle except a properly grounded receptacle that matches the input plug provided with the RT. • Do not place the RT near liquid or in environments of excessive humidity.
Page 11 CAUTION Risk of Energy Hazard, 12 V, 24W battery for ABCEG401. Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings. High energy through conductive materials could cause severe burns. CAUTION Risk of Energy Hazard, 24 V, 24W battery for ABCEG601. Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings.
Page 12: Installation
3.0 INSTALLATION This section explains: • Equipment inspection • Unpacking the unit • Checking the accessory kit • Cabinet installation • Initial startup Inspecting the Equipment If any equipment has been damaged during shipment, keep the shipping cartons and packing materials for the carrier or place of purchase and file a claim for shipping damage: 1.
Page 13 To unpack the unit and accessories: 1. Open the outer carton and remove the accessories packaged with the unit. 2. Carefully lift the unit out of the outer carton. 3. Discard or recycle the packaging in a responsible manner, or store it for future use.
Page 14 Operational Tests Observe the front panel of the RT. The following table shows how the front panel LED should appear upon start-up with output. Indicator Load Voltage Battery LED Over Fault LED Monitor Manager Temperature LED’s Normal Status NOTE: Connect battery plugs, depending on the charge state of the battery, it is possible that the battery LED may be flashing (this is normal).
Page 15 RT battery has had at least six hours to charge. • AMETEK Powervar recommends that you do not plug laser printers into the RT. Laser printers are known to draw large amounts of current when the fuser/heater assembly is energized. Laser printers can easily overload the RT or create a low voltage condition that can interfere with the operation of the Voltage Manager circuit.

4.0 OPERATION NOTE: In order to operate the RT backup, you must first connect the internal battery behind the front panel of the RT. 400VA 600VA A01-00079 Rev D...
Page 17 On/Off Button The On/Off button is a dual function control: • When the AC power is present to the RT input, pressing the On/Off button for more than 3 seconds will turn the RT output on. • Pressing the On/Off button for more than 3 seconds will turn off the RT output, if off.

Page 19 MopUPS Express Port MopUPS Express provides a connection point on the rear panel of the RT (USB ports). Connecting to this port and installing MopUPS Express’s software package (optional), will allow you control over important RT functions and access to operating information from the RT. Using MopUPS Express’s software, you can view such parameters as AC input and output voltage, power line frequency, and battery voltage.
Page 20 NOTE: 1. Pins 1 and 2 are open collector outputs, which must be pulled up to a common referenced supply. Switch rating: +40V, 0.15A non- inductive. 2. Pin 6 should only be connected to ground. Pin 6 is the reference for pin 1, pin 2 and pin 5.
Page 21: Maintenance
5.0 MAINTENANCE Storage The RT may be stored for extended periods in an environment that does not subject the RT to extremes of temperature or humidity. When storing for extended periods, the battery should be disconnected. If the storage location is characterized by above normal temperature, the battery should be recharged every two months.
Page 22 Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. There is a danger of explosion. • Do not dispose of batteries in an environmentally unfriendly manner. Batteries may be returned to AMETEK Powervar for proper disposal. • Do not open or mutilate the batteries. This may release electrolyte that is toxic to the environment and harmful to the skin and eyes.
Page 23 User Replaceable Battery NOTE: Changing the batteries in this RT series is designed to be a safe and simple procedure. Batteries may be replaced while the RT is on AC mode and providing power to the connected load. You should remember, however, that if a power outage occurs after the old batteries are disconnected and before the new batteries are installed, power will be lost to your connected system and components.
Page 24 CAUTION Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. NOTE: If you have read and understood the cautions preceding this section, you may proceed with the following steps. Consult Figures 2 &...
