(Refer to Troubleshooting Chart if this indicator is illuminated.) DIP Switches Rear of UPS Site Wiring Fault Indicator (Red)
The Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) circuitry compensates for fluctuations in utility power, such as voltage surges and sags. When the PowerSure PSA detects an abnormality, it raises the undervoltage (boost) or lowers the overvoltage (buck) as needed. The AVR operates automatically and maintains the output voltage to the connected criti- cal equipment, without utilizing the batteries.
Battery Mode The UPS switches to Battery mode in the event of an extreme voltage/ frequency condition or complete utility failure. The battery system supplies power through the Bi-Directional Converter to generate power for connected equipment. When the UPS is in Battery mode, the Battery Indicator illuminates green and an alarm sounds every 10 seconds.
MultiLink™ software. The DB-9 is capable of supplying serial communication, on battery and low battery signals. MultiLink, Liebert’s UPS monitoring and shutdown software, is shipped with the UPS, along with a 10 ft. (3m) DB-9 cable required for running MultiLink.
Remote Shutdown Via the DB-9 Connector The PowerSure PSA can be shut down remotely by shorting Pins 5 and 6 or via Pins 4 and 5 of the DB-9 connector. Shutdown Via Pins 5 & 6 When Pin 6 is shorted to Pin 5, the UPS output is shut off regardless of what mode the UPS is operating in.
AINTENANCE The PowerSure PSA UPS requires very little maintenance. Follow these practices to prevent problems. Cleaning the UPS The following will help ensure trouble-free operation for years: • Vacuum dust from the ventilation intake occasionally. • Wipe the cover periodically with a dry cloth.
