1. Introduction 1.1 Thank you! Thank you for selecting this uninterruptible power source (UPS). It is designed for many years of reliable, maintenance-free service. Important! Please read this manual. It provides safety, installation, and operating instructions that will help you get the fullest performance and service life from your UPS.
1.3 Theory of Operation This high-performance, line-interactive, uninterruptible power source (UPS) provides clean, reliable, AC power to computer systems and other electrical equipment — protecting them from power blackouts, brownouts, swells, sags, surges, and interference. It is designed to provide protection for equipment that operates on 208 volts AC, as well as peripheral equipment requiring 120 volts AC. The UPS requires single phase 208 volts AC input for proper operation.
1.4 Features Intelligent Battery Management The UPS provides visual and audible indications of the battery’s present status including capacity, low battery condition, and replace battery condition. The UPS exercises the battery during its self-test, and detects a weak battery before it is put into service. The UPS normally performs a self-test at power up and every 14 days. Self-tests can also be conducted manually with the on/test button at any time. The UPS features user-replaceable batteries.
2. Safety CAUTION! ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 6 To reduce the risk of electric shock in conditions where load equipment grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the UPS from the AC power outlet before installing a computer interface or accessory slot signal cable. Reconnect the power cord only after all signaling connections are made. Connect the UPS to a two-pole, three-wire grounding AC power outlet. The receptacle must be connected to appropriate branch protection (fuse or circuit breaker).
3. Presentation 3.1 Front panel With the UPS plugged in, press the on/test button to turn on the UPS and power the loads. See Sec. 5.1. On/test also activates the UPS’s self-test and utility line voltage displays. See sections 5.3 and 5.6. The overload LED lights when the loads connected to the UPS exceed the UPS’s capacity. See section 6.2. The battery charge/line voltage display shows the present battery charge as a percentage of battery capacity. See section 5.5.

Use the computer interface port for UPS monitoring and control. See section 7. The configuration button changes the UPS’s sensitivity to utility voltage variations and the low battery warning interval. See sections 5.9 and 5.10. The configuration LED indicates the voltage sensitivity setting and the low battery warning interval. See sections 5.9 and 5.10. The 120 VAC output circuit breaker trips when the connected load exceeds the rated capacity.
4. Installation To obtain warranty coverage fill out and return the warranty registration card now. 4.1 Inspection Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage. The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse or dispose of it properly. 4.2 Placement Tower Models Install the UPS in a protected area with adequate air flow and free of excessive dust. Do not operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity is outside the specified limits. See section 12.
Installing the Support Brackets 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Verify the contents of the kit. It contains: two adjustable-length L-channel supports, eight clip nuts, eight 10-32 x 1/2” flat-head screws, and eight washers. The washers are for use with square rack holes only. If the rack uses threaded holes, drill out the appropriate front rail rack holes with a 7/32” drill bit. This step is not required when mounting in racks with square holes.
4.3 Protection Strategies This UPS provides high performance power line protection to the loads. There are, however, other potential entry points for damaging surges in information systems. These include serial ports (RS232, RS-422, RS-485, etc.), parallel ports, telephone lines, and network connections. These other entry points must be considered in developing a comprehensive system protection strategy.
4.4 Install Accessory (Optional) Some UPS accessories connect to the computer interface (DB-9) port, while others install in the accessory slot. See the literature accompanying the accessory to determine proper installation. The screws holding the slot cover are #2 Phillips head type. To use the computer interface port, connect the accessory to the DB-9 connector and tighten down the connector’s screws.
Completed XL installation with two battery packs. 4.6 Connect to Utility Plug the UPS into an L6-20 receptacle connected to a 208VAC, 20 Amp service. The service may be either 50 or 60 Hz, but it must be equipped with a safety ground. If the service at your location uses a receptacle other than an L6-20, the UPS plug may be replaced with an appropriate plug by a qualified individual. The UPS is not rated for more than 20 Amps and should not be connected to a service that supplies a higher current.
4.6 Charge the Battery The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to utility power. For best results, charge the battery for 2.5 hours before use. It is acceptable to use the UPS without first charging the battery, but on-battery run time may be reduced until the battery charges. 4.7 Connect the Loads Plug the loads into the output connectors on the rear of the UPS. To use the UPS as a master on/ off switch, make sure that all of the loads are switched on.
5. Operation 5.1 Switch On With the UPS plugged in, press the on/test (upper) button to supply power to the loads. The loads are immediately powered while the UPS beeps and performs a self-test. See section 5.3. 5.2 Switch Off To switch off the UPS’s output power, press the off (lower) button. It may be convenient to use the on and off buttons of the UPS as a master on/off switch for the protected equipment.
5.3 Self-test Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the UPS and the condition of the battery. With the UPS plugged in to normal utility power, activate the self-test by pressing the on/test button until the UPS beeps and the on-line LED flashes. Note: By default the UPS performs a self-test at power up and once every two weeks. During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the loads on-battery (the on-battery LED comes on). If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to on-line operation.
5.5 Battery Charge Bar Graph The 5-LED display on the right of the front panel shows the present charge of the UPS’s battery as a percentage of the battery’s capacity. When all five LEDs light, the battery is fully charged. When the lowest LED is flashing, the battery can supply less than two minutes of run time for the load. 5.6 Utility Voltage Bar Graph This UPS has a diagnostic feature that displays the utility voltage.
The SmartBoost LED comes on to indicate that the UPS is compensating for a low voltage condition. SmartTrim and SmartBoost indications are advisory. No user action is required. To check the utility voltage use the utility voltage display. See section 5.6. 5.8 Cold Start When the UPS is off and there is no utility power, use the cold start feature to apply power to the loads from the UPS’s battery. Press the on/test button until the UPS beeps.
under such conditions, battery capacity and service life may be conserved by reducing the sensitivity of the UPS. To reduce UPS sensitivity, press the configuration button on the rear panel. Use a pointed object such as a pen to press the button. Press it once to set the UPS’s sensitivity to reduced. Press it again to set the sensitivity to low. Press the button again to reset normal sensitivity. When the UPS is set to normal sensitivity, the configuration LED is brightly lit.
6. Alarms 6.1 On Battery In on-battery operation, the on-battery LED comes on and the UPS sounds an audible alarm consisting of four beeps every 30 seconds. The alarm stops when the UPS returns to on-line operation. Press the on/test button during on-battery alarms to stop the beeping. This works for the current alarm only — the next on-battery alarm will have the audible indication. Shutting off the audible alarm in this way does not affect alarm reporting through the computer interface or accessory slot.
7. Options 7.1 Overview This UPS has several options that support advanced operation. Advanced operations include graceful shutdown of a protected computer, and several communication and command functions. Computer systems require time to perform an orderly shutdown, without corrupting or losing data. In an extended power failure, a computer system protected by a UPS eventually will lose power when the battery is exhausted.
8. Troubleshooting Problem UPS will not turn on. UPS will not turn on or off. Possible Cause Solution On/test button not pushed. Press the on/test button to power the UPS and the load UPS input circuit breaker tripped. Reduce the load on the UPS by unplugging equipment and reset the circuit breaker by pressing the plunger back in. Very low or no utility voltage. Check the AC power supply to the UPS. Computer interface or accessory problem. Disconnect the computer interface or accessory.
Problem Low battery light is on and the on-line light is off. The replace battery light is lit. Possible Cause The UPS is shut down and the battery is discharged from an extended power outage. Solution None. The UPS will return to normal operation when the power is restored and the battery has a sufficient charge. Weak batteries. Allow the batteries to recharge for at least four hours. If the problem persists after recharging, replace the batteries. See section 10.
10. Replacing the Battery This UPS has a replaceable battery.
