IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ➢ The M359-3 and its Battery Pack should not be tampered with by unauthorized personnel. Tampering with the M359-3 or its Battery Pack, or using them in any other way but their intended application, may result in a severe safety hazard.
MIL-STD-1399 (Section 300) and is specifically designed to meet the harsh military shipboard environment. The high reliability and ruggedness of the M359-3 make it an excellent choice not only for military shipboard applications, but for critical shore-based applications as well.

Prime source that feeds the M359-3. Overloading the UPS output will not result in an overload on the prime AC source that feeds the M359-3. The Control Circuit is a microcontroller-based circuit that provides monitoring of the unit’s status (battery charge, load level, input and output levels, etc.) and supports the...
✓ Before installing the unit, please read carefully the Safety Instructions at the beginning of this manual. ✓ Make sure that all the switches on the M359-3 front panel are in the OFF position. ✓ Verify that the Plug-in Battery Pack is properly installed and secured (see Paragraph 6.3).

Test Mode. These modes are described below. 5.2.1. UPS Mode. This is the normal operating mode of the M359-3. In the UPS Mode all of the UPS functions are enabled and the AC Output is a clean, regulated and protected, 115Vac/60Hz power, generated by the M359-3 DC-to-AC Inverter.
Paragraph 5.1 above, should be installed on J4). Please note that the M359-3 will turn On only if AC Input is available. The M359-3 will remain On (using Battery power) if AC input fails, but it will not start on Battery power alone.
5.4. Remote Control (Using the Remote Switches). In order to control the M359-3 by the remote switch (via the connector J4 on the rear panel), the three front panel switches (2, 7 and 8) should be in the upper position. The recommended connection of the remote switches is described in Para.

5.5.4. LOW BATT Warning LED (14) When the M359-3 is operating in the UPS mode, and the Battery Charge level drops below 35%, the yellow LOW BATT Warning LED (14) will start blinking, warning the user that the Battery Level is low.
Note: When this button if depressed for more than 10 seconds will set the Batt Charge Level Indicator to 20% (used during the Manufacturer’s In-Process testing). Due to the On-line topology of the M359-3 (see figure 1), the output voltage is always generated by the DC-to-AC Inverter, regardless of the prime power source. Hence, the transition between AC Input to Battery Power and backward, is seamless.
The Overload Protection circuit of the M359-3 monitors the real output power into the load (in Watts). If the output power exceeds the rating of the M359-3 (2KW) a timer is started and if the Overload condition persists, the UPS output will shut down. The allowed overload duration before the UPS Outputs shuts down depend on the depth of the overload.

UPS Response to Overtemperature Condition When the internal hot-spot temperature of the UPS exceeds a preset level (+94 C), the yellow O. TEMP Warning LED (23) will start blinking and an audible alarm will sound at one second intervals, 50% duty cycle.
Charge-Discharge Cycles 6.2.1. Temperature The battery used in the M359-3 is sealed and does not “dry up” or lose gasses, but its end of service life is brought about by the gradual corrosion of the electrodes. This process is highly accelerated by high operating temperatures. Every 10°C rise above 20°C will reduce the battery service life by half.
Battery life. 6.3. Replacing the Battery Pack The M359-3 uses a Plug-in, Hot-swap, Battery Pack (MPS P/N M359380-1 or -5) that may be ordered separately. Caution! The Battery Pack is an integral part of the M359-3 structure. Unless the M359-3 is in storage, it should never be left for more than a few minutes without a Battery Pack properly installed.
7. Communication and Remote Control 7.1. Ethernet SNMP (Optional) An optional Ethernet SNMP port is available through the J4 (37) connector on the M359-3 back panel. If this option is used, then the RS-232 Connector (J5) serves only as Consol and is a DCE (the Standard UPS RS-232 is a DTE).

Battery Voltage Low UPS On Input Power Loss, Battery operation Notes: Pin 1 will be shorted to pin 2 when any one of the following conditions occurs: an Over Temperature Condition, a Battery Failure, a Charger Failure, an Internal UPS Controller Failure.
When Pin 8 (the remote PWR ON/OFF pin) is connected to the Common Signals Return, the M359-3 is enabled. Opening Pin 8 will disable the M359-3 (opening all internal relays and removing power from the Output) regardless of any other control or switch.
