2 Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS! SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! This User Guide contains important instructions for your Powerware 5125 that must be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. CAUTION! Whenever the Powerware 5125 is “On,” there may be dangerous voltage present at the unit’s outlets. This is true because the unit’s battery supplies power even if the unit is not plugged into the wall outlet. The unit contains dangerous voltages.
3 1.0 Powerware 5125 - One of the Best! The Powerware 5125 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.
4 Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the Powerware 5125’s unique benefits include the following: • Advanced Battery Management Plus (ABM Plus™) doubles battery service life, optimises recharge time and provides a warning before the end of useful battery life. • Buck and Double Boost regulation ensures consistent voltage to your load by correcting voltage fluctuations without using battery power. • Hours of extended runtime with up to four EBMs.
5 2.0 Installation This section explains: • UPS installation • UPS rear panels Installing the UPS The following steps explain how to install the UPS. Figure 2 shows a typical installation only. See “UPS Rear Panels” on Page 7 for the rear panel of each model. NOTE Do not make unauthorised changes to the UPS, otherwise damage may occur to your equipment and void your warranty 1. If installing an optional EBM, continue to Step 2; otherwise skip to Step 4 2.
6 4. If you are installing power management software, connect your computer to the UPS communication port using the supplied communication cable. 5. Plug the detachable UPS power cord into the input connector on the UPS rear panel. 6. Plug the UPS power cord into a power outlet. The front panel indicators cycle through a startup sequence while the UPS conducts a self-test. When the self-test is complete, the indicator flashes, indicating the UPS is in Standby mode with the equipment offline.

8 3.0 Operation This section describes: • Operating modes • Turning the UPS on and off • Starting the UPS on battery • Initiating the self-test Operating Modes Powerware 5125’s front panel indicates the UPS status through the UPS indicators. Figure 5 shows the UPS front panel indicators and controls. Figure 5.
9 Normal Mode During normal mode the indicator illuminates and the front panel displays the percentage of UPS load capacity being used by the protected equipment (see Figure 6). The UPS monitors and charges the batteries as needed and provides power protection to your equipment. Figure 6. Load Level Indicators When all the bar graph indicators and the capacity; see Page 25 for more information.
10 Battery Mode When the UPS is operating during a power outage, the alarm beeps once every four seconds and the indicator illuminates. When the utility power returns, the UPS switches to Normal mode operation while the battery recharges. If battery capacity becomes low while in Battery mode, the indicator flashes and the alarm beeps twice every two seconds. Immediately complete and save your work to prevent data loss and similar difficulties.
11 Turning the UPS Off To turn off the UPS, press and hold the Off button until the long beep ceases (approximately five seconds). The indicator begins to flash and the UPS remains in Standby mode until you unplug the UPS from the power outlet. Initiating the Self-Test NOTE The batteries must be fully charged to perform the self-test. Press and hold the button for three seconds to initiate the self-test. During the test, individual indicators illuminate as various parts of the UPS are checked.
12 4.0 Additional UPS Features This section describes: • X-Slot modules • Network Transient Protector • Load Segments X-Slot Modules X-Slot modules allow the UPS to communicate in a variety of networking environments and with different types of devices.
13 Single-Port Modules The Powerware 5125 is factory installed with a Single-Port Module. To establish communications between the UPS and a computer, connect your computer to the UPS communication port using the supplied communication cable. When the communication cable is installed, power management software can exchange data with the UPS. The software polls the UPS for detailed information on the status of the power environment.
14 Network Transient Protector The Network Transient Protector, shown in Figure 10, is located on the rear panel and has jacks labelled IN and OUT. This feature accommodates a single RJ-45 (10BaseT) network connector. Connect the input connector of the equipment you are protecting in the jack labelled IN. Connect the output connector to the jack labelled OUT. Do not connect or attempt to connect this connector to telephone circuits.
15 Load Segments Load segments are sets of receptacles that can be controlled by power management software, providing an orderly shutdown and startup of your equipment. For example, during a power outage, you can keep key pieces of equipment running while you turn off other equipment. This feature allows you to save battery power. See your power management software manual for details. NOTE If the power management software is not used, the individual load segments cannot be controlled.
16 5.0 UPS Maintenance This section explains how to: • Care for the UPS and batteries • Replace the batteries • Test new batteries • Recycle used batteries UPS and Battery Care For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS clean and dust-free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner. o For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of 25 C.
17 Replacing the Batteries NOTE: DO NOT DISCONNECT the batteries while the UPS is in Battery Mode With the hot-swappable battery feature, UPS batteries can be replaced easily without turning the UPS off or disconnecting the load. If you prefer to remove input power to change the battery: 1. 2. Press and hold the Off button until the long beep ceases (approximately five seconds), then unplug the UPS. Wait 60 seconds while the internal processor shuts down before you disconnect the battery.
18 How to Replace Internal Batteries CAUTION Pull the battery out onto a flat, stable surface. The battery is unsupported when you pull it out of the UPS. Use the following procedure to replace internal batteries: 1. Remove the UPS front panel by pulling the top. 2. Slide up and remove the metal battery cover.
19 3. 1000VA units. Disconnect the red battery cable on the front of the battery. Pull the battery out onto a flat, stable surface. Disconnect the black battery cable on the rear of the battery, then on the front of the battery. Disconnect the red battery cable on the rear of the battery. See “Recycling the Used Battery” on Page 20 for proper disposal. 4. 1500, 2000 and 2200VA units. Pull the battery out onto a flat, stable surface.
20 Testing New Batteries Press and hold the button for three seconds to initiate a self-test. After the test is finished, the indicator should turn off. If the indicator stays on, check the battery connections. Call your service representative if the problem persists.
