Safety Important Safety Instructions. Save These Instructions. This manual contains important safety instructions for the Esprit Models 3 and 4 that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and Batteries. Caution: Risk of electric shock, even with the unit disconnected from the AC power source. Hazardous voltages still may be present through operation from the battery.
Caution: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. A battery can present a risk of electric shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working with batteries: ◗ Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. ◗ Use tools with insulated handles. ◗ Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

3. Installation 3A. Storing the UPS and Recharging the Battery Always store the equipment in its original packaging. The battery is of the sealed lead-acid type. Battery recharge requires that the battery module be plugged into an energized NEMA 5-15 receptacle for 6-8 hours. The battery may be charged in the box by pulling the AC cord out through the bottom. Battery storage or prolonged shutdown should never exceed 6 months or 68°F (20°C), for a battery initially at 100% charge.
3E. Connecting the Optional Extended Battery Plug the DC battery cable into the UPS module as shown in Figure 2a. The cable plug is keyed, so make sure to align the plug properly to the receptacle. Do not force the cable on, nor attempt to reverse the connection. To do so, will damage the equipment and void the warranty. Plug the AC line cord into an AC line receptacle. See Figure 3f. 3F.
The transistor resistance is 27 ohms and the maximum current allowed is 140mA AC or DC with ambient temperature of up to 40°C. In order to get a "logic low" you have to limit the current to: logic low voltage required divided by 27, logic low voltage = 0.5V. I max = 0.5/27=0.0185A=18mA.
Caution: Connect only computer-type loads to the Esprit UPS. Warranty is void if noncomputer-type loads are connected to the UPS. 3J. Solution-Pac Software Solution Pac software allows you to interface your computer with the UPS. The software is loaded on your computer and through the communication port, can access and react to status information from the UPS. Refer to the Solution Pac manual on the CD for a full description of its operation.
4. Startup and Shutdown 4A. UPS Startup You are ready to start the equipment after installing the UPS module, optional battery module(s), any options, and the communication cable (if used). Follow these simple steps: 1. Connect your computer equipment. 2. Depress the green "ON" button. You will hear an audible beep, and the “Utility Power Present” LED " " will be green. See Figure 4a. 3. Turn on any computer equipment.
If desired, the UPS can be set up to operate at a known, fixed frequency regardless of the detected utility frequency. Fixed-frequency operation is often desirable in installations that make use of cold-start capability. Discussion on this is in the Advanced Configuration Section (section 6) of this manual. If utility power is present and within specifications, your UPS will start up in bypass mode. Power will be supplied to your computer loads and will be protected from a utility loss.
1. Fault Detected (yellow) Off Flashing On The UPS is operating normally. No faults have been detected. The UPS has detected a new operating fault. The FAULT indicator will continue to flash until the fault has been acknowledged by pressing the grey silence alarm button. The UPS has detected an operating fault that has been acknowledged by the user. ! 2. Replace Battery (red) The UPS battery is O.K. 3.
The "Fault Detected" LED turns on and acts as described above for ANY system alarm, including those that have their own status indicators (e.g. overload, replace battery). Button Operation There are 3 buttons present on the front panel: ◗ The grey, " " top button controls the audible alarm and alarm/fault handling. ◗ The green, " " center button turns the UPS on. ◗ The red " ", bottom button turns the UPS off.
Although six button states are detectable, not every button combination has an assigned task. button states/combinations that have no assigned task will simply be ignored. The “Utility Power Present” does NOT reflect the state of the UPS output. If, for example, the UPS has shut down due to an output overload, the Utility Power Present LED may be solidly ON but the UPS output could be turned off (due to the overload). 4F.

6. Advanced Configuration890-=qwertyuio Esprit Front Panel Configuration Mode Usage and Instructions For advanced users only! The Esprit UPS is shipped from the factory with a configuration that is suitable for most applications. However, there are some circumstances where modification of the UPS operating parameters is required. A special configuration mode, accessible from the front panel, has been provided for this purpose.
It is possible to cycle backward through the configuration options by pressing and holding the top button. A given option setting can be forced to its factory default state by pressing and holding the bottom button. The middle (Power ON) button is not used in configuration mode. To leave configuration mode, simultaneously depress and hold in both the top and bottom buttons until the buzzer sounds and the AC PRESENT indicator stops flashing.
Options 0, 1, 2 – Extended Battery Configuration These three option switches should be changed as shown in the table below when new battery cabinet(s) are added to the UPS. The standard setting for these options are all OFF, selecting the single/internal battery module option.
Options 5, 6 – Input Voltage Tolerance Use these two option switches to select the Esprit’s sensitivity to low/high input voltage conditions. The Esprit will switch to battery power when the utility voltage falls outside the range selected. The percentages shown in the table below are subtracted/added to the nominal voltage setting as set by options 4, 5. The factory setting is 5=OFF, 6=OFF which selects the –15/+10% range.
Option 10 – Automatic UPS restart after Low Battery shutdown The factory setting for this option is ON, which allows the UPS to automatically turn its output back on following a Low Battery shutdown once input AC is present. This setting is the usual one for applications where the UPS is connected to automated or unattended equipment that is capable of restarting itself without direct human intervention.
Option 15 – Power-On Inverter Test (POIT) When this option is set to the factory default ON setting, the Esprit will perform a short battery/inverter test shortly after it is turned on. This test is only performed only if the UPS is able to power up the load from utility power first. If the POIT is enabled, the UPS will power up the load from utility power, then briefly switch to battery power approximately 5-7 seconds after it is powered up.
7. Service & Maintenance 7A. Maintenance Clean the UPS with a dry cloth after turning off all power to the UPS and switching off the power switch. The UPS performs monthly automatic battery tests. However, it is recommended that a 6 month test be performed on the UPS for battery condition. Perform all tests off peak hours with applications shut down. 1. Turn off power to the UPS via the branch circuit breaker to the UPS.
7B. Recycling Your UPS In USA or Canada, call 1-714-557-1636, M - F, 6:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. PST. Ask for a return goods authorization for free UPS or battery recycling. MGE does not cover return freight charges for recycling and will not accept items without a return goods authorization number.
8. Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause Required User Action ◗ UPS does not turn on. ◗ UPS is not plugged in. ◗ Wall socket is dead. ◗ UPS has not been activated. ◗ Plug UPS into a working outlet. ◗ Test wall socket, repair as required. ◗ Press Output ON (1) button for one second, then release. ◗ There is no power to the computer load. ◗ Confirm that the UPS is on. ◗ Output circuit breaker is tripped. ◗ Load plugs are not seated properly. ◗ See above. ◗ Disconnect load and check.
