MCP 3000i Rear Panel INSTALLATION PLACEMENT The safe and continuous operation of the UPS depends partially on the care taken by the user. Please note the following precautions: · Install the UPS in a temperature controlled, indoor environment that is free of conductive contaminants. · Select a location that will provide good air circulation for the UPS at all times. · Avoid locations near heating devices, water, or excessive humidity, or where the UPS may be exposed to direct sunlight.
COMPUTER INTERFACE CONNECTIONS Minuteman Power Management software and interface cables kits are used with these ports (software and cables are optional and available from Minuteman). Use only Minuteman or Minuteman approved interface cables with these UPS’s. Connect the interface cable to the DB-9 connector on the rear of the UPS (either RS-232 or Dry Contact). Secure the connector to the UPS via the screws on the connector housing.
NOTE: For hardwire I/O configurations for the MCP 2000(i) and the MCP 3000(i), units are considered fixed. When connecting equipment to hardwire I/O configurations ensure use of proper size gauge wires for all connections. CAUTION! DO NOT CONNECT A LASER PRINTER TO THE UPS UNLESS THE UPS IS RATED 2000VA OR GREATER. A LASER PRINTER DRAWS SIGNIFICANTLY MORE POWER WHEN PRINTING THAN AT IDLE AND MAY OVERLOAD THE UPS.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART 14 Symtom Possible Cause What To Do UPS not on Power switch is in Off position. No incoming utility. Press On button. Check utility power. On Battery LED is illuminated even though there is normal AC present Input AC breaker is tripped. No incoming utility. Reset circuit breaker. Check input power connection. Fault LED is illuminated UPS has detected an internal fault. Turn UPS off, then on again. If Fault LED remains on contact Minuteman Technical Support.
REPLACING THE BATTERIES WARNING! This uninterruptible power source contains potentially hazardous voltages. It is recommended that you turn the UPS off and disconnect the input power cord from the receptacles prior to connecting or disconnecting the battery terminals. Only UPS’s that have external battery packs can be changed “HOT”, that is with your AC power connected to the unit, and while supplying power to your equipment.
· · · · · · · · If electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it off immediately with water. If electrolyte contacts the eyes, flush thoroughly and immediately with water. Seek medical attention. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source of ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electric shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.
IF THE UPS REQUIRES SERVICE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Use the TROUBLESHOOTING chart section 5 to eliminate obvious causes. Verify that no circuit breakers are tripped.
