This symbol indicates "Direct Current Supply" This symbol indicates "Equipment Grounding Conductor" CAUTION! Connect the UPS to a two pole, three wire grounding AC wall outlet. The receptacle must be connected to the appropriate branch protection (circuit breaker or fuse). Connection to any other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard and violate local electrical codes.
NOTICE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A and/or Class B computing device in accordance with the specifi- cations in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules and the Class A and/or Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Life Support Policy As a general policy, we do not recommend the use of any of our products in life support applications where failure or malfunction of the product can be reason- ably expected to cause failure of the life support device or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness.
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS CONTROL PANEL The ONLINE (green) LED illuminates in a steady state when the UPS is on and the inverter is providing the output power. The ONLINE LED will extinguish when oper- ating in the Battery mode. The LINE (green) LED illuminates in a steady state when the UPS is connected to Utility Power and there is an acceptable AC voltage present.

The ON BATT (green) LED illuminates in a steady state when the UPS is oper- ating in the Battery mode. The ON BATT LED will extinguish when operating in the On-Line and the Bypass modes. The BATT LOW (yellow) LED illuminates in a steady state when the UPS reaches a low battery condition.
REAR PANEL 1. The input power cord (120V models). 2. The input circuit breaker will trip in the event the load exceeds the UPS’s power rating. 3. The option slot is for option cards. 4. The Battery Backup output power receptacles. The output receptacles are electrically wir- ed into two segments to support the "Load Shedding Function".
INSTALLATION INSTALLATION PLACEMENT This UPS series is intended to be install in a temperature controlled environ- ment that is free of conductive contaminants. Select a location which will provide good air circulation for the UPS at all times. Avoid locations near heat- ing devices, water or excessive humidity, or where the UPS is exposed to direct sunlight.
RACKMOUNT CONFIGURATION The UPS comes with mounting brackets for the standard 19" (46.5cm) rack. The mounting brackets to fit a 23" (59.2cm) standard rack are also available. The screws for mounting the UPS to the rack are not included (screw size varies with rack size).
CONNECTING YOUR EQUIPMENT Plug the equipment into the output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS. Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs or surge strips on the output of the UPS. Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum output rating of the UPS (refer to the information label on the UPS or the Electrical Specifications in this manual).
OPERATION SYSTEM OVERVIEW This On-Line UPS protects computers, servers, internetworking, and telecom- munications equipment from blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, and surges. This On-Line UPS converts the input AC to DC and then back to a True Sine Wave AC output. The True Sine Wave output is regulated within 2% of the nominal output voltage.
OFF Button Press the OFF button for 1-beep (2-seconds) to turn the UPS off. SELF TEST The self test feature is useful to verify the correct operation of the UPS and the condition of the batteries. With the UPS in the AC normal mode, press the ON/ Test/Alarm Silencer Button for 1-beep (2-seconds) to perform a battery test.
RJ11 REPO (Remote Emergency Power Off) PORT In the AC or the Battery mode short pin4 to pin5 for approximately 0.5-seconds to shutdown the UPS. The UPS must be turned off and then back on again to restart the UPS. POWER MONITORING SOFTWARE The UPS comes with a Power Monitoring Software CD.
