CHAPTER 1 POWERWARE 5115 – ONE OF THE BEST! The PowerwareR 5115 uninterruptible power system (UPS) protects your sensitive electronic equipment from basic power problems such as power failures, power sags, power surges, brownouts, and line noise. Power outages can occur when you least expect it and power quality can be erratic. These power problems have the potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and damage hardware — causing hours of lost productivity and expensive repairs.
Powerware 5115 – ONE OF THE BEST! Because an integral part of power protection is power management software, the Powerware 5115 comes fully equipped with a communication port, serial cable, and a CD containing both LanSafe III for networked systems and FailSafe III for standalone systems.
CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION This section explains: S Equipment inspection S Safety precautions S UPS installation S UPS rear panels Inspecting the Equipment If any equipment has been damaged during shipment, keep the shipping cartons and packing materials for the carrier or place of purchase and file a claim for shipping damage. If you discover damage after acceptance, file a claim for concealed damage.
Installation WARNING S This UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply. S Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes the safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS. S To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants.

Troubleshooting Indicator Legend Unlit Lit Flashing Table 9. Troubleshooting µ Alarm or Condition Possible Cause Action The indicator is not on; the UPS does not start. The power cord is not connected. Check the power cord connections. The wall outlet is faulty. Have a qualified electrician test and repair the outlet. The UPS operates in Battery mode only, even though normal utility power is present. The input overcurrent protector is open. Save your work and turn off your equipment.
Troubleshooting Alarm or Condition Possible Cause Action 1 beep every 2 seconds. The UPS is running on battery power because the input voltage is too high or too low. Correct the input voltage, if possible. The UPS continues to operate on battery until the condition is corrected or the battery is completely discharged. If the condition persists, the input voltage in your area may differ from the UPS nominal.
Troubleshooting Alarm or Condition 30 Possible Cause Action 3 beeps every 10 seconds. Failed attempt to start the UPS on battery. Plug the UPS into a power outlet for 24 hours to charge the battery. After charging the battery, press and hold the button for 3 seconds; then check the indicator. If the indicator still flashes, see “UPS Maintenance” on page 17 to replace the battery.
