2. Installation 2.2 Rack mounting Wheels removal The battery sub-modules and power sub-modules must no be mounted yet. It is not allowed to install the UPS or battery module in a hermetically closed environment without any exchange of air. 1 - Use packaging as shown. 2 - Place Pulsar MX Frame on its side.
Follow steps 1 to 4 for rack mounting the UPS onto the rails. The rails and the necessary mounting hardware are supplied by MGE UPS SYSTEMS. Note for step 1: it is possible to adjust the position of both front mounting ears.
2. Installation 2.3 Mounting sub-modules A dangerous voltage is present inside the power module and the battery module. Any operations to be carried out on these modules must be done by qualified staff. You must mount the modules from the lowest level to the highest level. All the sub-modules must be mounted.
Pulsar MX RT provides 3 communication methods that can be used simultaneously: 2 COM ports provide RS232 or USB communications using MGE UPS SYSTEMS SHUT protocol. Compatible with most power management software applications available into the enclosed Solution Pac CD-Rom. Please, note that both ports cannot be used at the same time.
2. Installation Installation of communication card It is not necessary to shutdown the UPS before installing a communications card. 1 - Remove the slot cover (1) secured by two screws. 2 - Insert the communication card (2) in the slot. 3 - Secure the card with both screws.
2. Installation 2.5 Required protective devices and cable cross-sections Recommended upstream protection UPS power rating Upstream circuit breaker The indicated protection ensures discrimination for each output circuit 15000/20000 RT D curve - 125 A downstream of the UPS. If these recommendations are not followed, protection discrimination is not achieved and may result in a potential power interruption to the connected devices.
