UPS. • Do not use extension cords when connecting the UPS to the utility power supply. • The AC output of the UPS needs a disconnecting switch such as a breaker, which has to be provided by others.
Batteries • NOTE: Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries. • When replacing the batteries, use only the same number, type and size battery: GP1272-F2 (CSB) or NP7-12(YUASA), LC-R127R2P(PANASONIC), BP7-12(BB) or HR1234W F2(CSB) or BP7-12(BB)GS7R2, HR9-12(BB).

Installation The unit should be installed by service personnel. IMPORTANT: Before making any connection and switching on the UPS, please check the following conditions: • Mains supply is 100/110/120 Volts and 50/60Hz, • Total power demand of the connected equipment does not exceed the rated output power of the UPS (indicated on the rating label).
2.4.3 Connecting an external battery pack 1. Before installation, check whether the nominal voltage of battery pack is suitable for the UPS. The voltages mentioned on the battery connectors should match. 2. Utilize the battery connection cable that came with the battery pack to connect the battery pack to the UPS as shown in fig.
2.4.6 Connecting to the utility power supply 1000/1500VA: Use a suitable power cord, and plug it into the input socket (see fig. 2.6) 2200/3000VA: The UPS is equipped with a fixed input power cord. 1. Plug the input power cord into a working three wire, grounded AC wall outlet. Do not use extension cords.
Operation Panel Fig. 3.1 Operating panel Switch ‘I/TEST’ - Switches on the UPS - In ‘ON-LINE’ mode it starts the battery test - In ‘ON BATTERY’ mode it mutes the buzzer Off switch Switches off the UPS LED ‘Bypass’ The UPS is in ‘BYPASS’ mode: the incoming utility power is channeled directly to the load.
Use: Normal Operation 3.3.1 Normal operation conditions: • The utility power supply is present and within allowable tolerances, • The load does not exceed the nominal rating of the UPS and • The operating temperature is below alarm level • The UPS is on, 3.3.2...
3.3.4 Silencing the buzzer When the UPS is in ‘ON BATTERY’ mode the buzzer can be turned on or off by pressing the ‘I/TEST’-button (1). 3.3.5 Switching off 1 To switch off the UPS push the OFF-button (2) until a short beep is heard. Release the button after the beep.
3.4.4 Bypass operation If the UPS is unable to deliver the demanded output power due to overload or over-temperature, the load is switched directly to the utility supply. The LED ‘Bypass’ will light, and the buzzer will sound continuously. The UPS will switch back to ‘ON LINE’ mode (normal operation) when the load and/or temperature conditions returned to normal.
UPS monitoring software. For specific information on GE Digital Energy connectivity products please contact your local dealer @ 1-800-637-1738. The dry contacts (4.3) and (optional) SNMP plug-in card (4.4) can be connected at the same time.
RS232 The RS-232 communication port provides the following functions: 1 - Monitoring charger status 2 - Monitoring battery status and condition 3 - Monitoring inverter status 4 - Monitoring UPS status 5 - Monitoring the AC utility power status 6 - Turn on/off UPS on schedule for power saving 7 - Adjust transfer voltage Pin Assignment: Pin 2...
SNMP Plug-in Card (optional) SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the most popular protocol in the network. Via NMS (Network Management Station) you can detect the status of all facilities in the network. An SNMP Interface Card can be plugged into the built-in SNMP slot on rear panel of the UPS (please refer to fig.
5 - Optional Features Apart from the SNMP-option described in 4.4 the following options are possible: Extended Runtime Extended runtime can be obtained by connecting a separate battery extension module to the UPS. The additional batteries increase the runtime and recharging time for the unit, all other operational information is the same as for standard models.
Fig. 6.4 Recycling the UPS at the end of service life GE Digital Energy, in compliance with environment protection recommends that the UPS equipment, at the end of its service life, must be recycled conforming to the local applicable regulations.
7 - Troubleshooting Whenever a malfunction occurs, first check external factors (e.g. connections, temperature, humidity or load) to determine whether the problem is caused by the unit itself or by its environment. Subsequently check the thermal circuit breaker: it may be tripped. If so: reset it and be sure that the UPS is not overloaded.
