CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION SETUP This chapter explains how to setup and install the Powerware 9170 cabinets: Unpacking and setup, including clearances and location requirements Caster cart installation Stabilizer bracket installation (for 12-slot cabinets with non-isolated output) Rack-mount installation Floor anchor kit installation Moving the cabinets Equipment Clearances All cabinet sizes require the following clearances to allow for servicing and adequate ventilation: From the side panels:
Installation Setup Location Requirements Install the Powerware 9170 UPS as close as possible to the equipment or the load distribution panel it will protect. If this distance is more than 25 ft (7.6m), transient noise can reappear in the electrical distribution system. If additional Powerware 9170 system batteries are in a separate cabinet, the external battery cabinet should be located as close as possible to the Powerware 9170 UPS.
Installation Setup 4. If an optional caster cart is included for cabinet mobility, see Caster Cart Installation" on page 10 for information about mounting the cabinet on the cart and stabilizing it using the cart foot pads. 5. After placing the cabinet in its intended operating location, cut the lifting straps or slip them off the cabinet base tabs. 6. If you are installing an external battery cabinet, continue to Battery Cabinet Installation" on page 17.
Installation Setup NOTE If the floor is uneven and the cabinet is tilted or unstable, you may need to place a thin steel plate under a corner. Do not use the caster bolts to level the cabinet. 7. If you are installing an external battery cabinet, continue to Battery Cabinet Installation" on page 17. If you do not have an external battery cabinet, continue to UPS Startup" on page 49 for plug-receptacle units or to Electrical Installation" on page 23 for hardwired units.
Installation Setup The cart requires no bolts or other hardware to fasten it to the UPS cabinet. It is shaped to fit securely under the cabinet, ensuring proper alignment after placing the cabinet on the cart. Four foot pads under the cart keep the cart from rolling when it is in its intended location. Turn each threaded foot to lower it to the floor. When the foot is tight against the floor, turn the lock nut on the threaded foot up tight against the bottom of the cart to keep the foot from rotating.
Installation Setup Stabilizer Bracket Figure 8. Stabilizer Bracket Installation Rack-Mount Installation The 3- and 6-slot UPS cabinets may be installed in an EIA-standard 19 (48.3-cm) equipment rack. An optional rack-mounting kit (ASY-0547), containing brackets and required hardware, is available for such an installation. For each 3-slot section, use the following mounting procedure to convert the UPS cabinet and install it in the equipment rack: NOTE The UPS cabinet is heavy.

CHAPTER 6 UPS STARTUP This section provides step-by-step instructions for starting your Powerware 9170 system. Follow these procedures closely to avoid potential damage to your equipment or the UPS and to protect yourself and others from hazardous operating conditions. CAUTION This UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry hazardous voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
UPS Startup Power and Battery Module Installation Use the following procedure to install the power and battery modules into the Powerware 9170 cabinet: 1. Remove the front cover(s) of the cabinet. The covers have spring latches on the left and right sides that hold them in place. NOTE Place battery modules below all power modules in the UPS cabinet. Two battery modules (side-by-side) are required to complete each battery string. 2. Insert the battery modules into the cabinet.
UPS Startup Figure 41. Inserting the Modules 5. If you installed an optional battery cabinet, repeat Steps 1 and 2 to install the battery modules. 6. Reinstall the front covers. 7. Continue to the following section, Startup for Plug-Receptacle Units" if your cabinet has a power cord already attached. If you hardwired the UPS, skip to Startup for Hardwired Units" on page 53. Startup for Plug-Receptacle Units To start a plug-receptacle unit, use the following steps: 1.
UPS Startup 3. If you are installing power management software, connect your computer to the UPS communication port using the supplied communication cable. DB-9 Connector for Computer Cable Figure 42. Communication Port 4. The UPS front panel display automatically turns on whenever input power is present and at least one power module is installed. Set up the initial operating parameters through the front panel display (see Initial Startup Parameters" on page 56).
UPS Startup Startup for Hardwired Units To start a hardwired unit, use the following steps: 1. Confirm that an electrician has completed and tested the connection to the proper power source. 2. Check the cable connections between the UPS and any external battery cabinets. 3. Ensure that all power modules are properly installed and latched into the UPS cabinet. 4. If you are installing power management software, connect your computer to the UPS communication port using the supplied communication cable.
UPS Startup 9. Use an AC voltmeter to measure voltages on the terminal block inside the bypass switch cabinet. See Figure 22 on page 32, which shows the terminal numbering for input and output UPS connections. Record your measurements in the following chart. The voltages in the first column should be nearly equal to the voltages in the second column. If the values differ by more than a few volts, check the terminal block connections and correct any wiring problems.
UPS Startup 15. Reinstall all UPS cover panels. 16. If the UPS will not be operated immediately, switch the bypass switch to SERVICE and push the DC disconnect switch on the back panel of the external battery cabinet closest to the UPS. When starting the UPS, apply input power to the UPS by closing the service circuit breaker or turning the bypass switch to the LINE position. If an external battery cabinet is connected, unlock and pull out the DC disconnect switch on its back panel. 17.
UPS Startup Initial Startup Parameters The first time the UPS is turned on, you must set or verify certain operating parameters before placing the UPS into operation. Use the following procedure to set these initial configuration parameters. 1. Enter the correct user security password: 0377. Move left and right by pressing the buttons below the <- and -> on the display. To change the value of the selected digit, press the and buttons. When the password shows 0377, press the button.
UPS Startup 4. The output voltage is the most important operating parameter you must set as part of the initial configuration screens. Select the desired UPS output voltage using the and buttons. Possible selections are 200, 208, 220, 230, and 240 Vac. (Low voltages are derived from these voltages, as listed in Table 5 on page 35 and Table 6 on page 43.) Press the button when the desired output value is displayed. 5.
UPS Startup 7. To password-protect the UPS On/Off function, press the or button to make your selection; then press the button. If a password is required, the UPS On and Off functions are accessible only after first entering the correct password value (0377). ON OFF Password? No ESC 8. The UPS is now ready to operate, and displays the normal On/Off function screen. These configuration parameters are accessible during normal UPS operation by pressing the Config button through the front panel display.
CHAPTER OPERATION 7 The Powerware 9170 UPS operates in several different modes. Normally it operates under internal control, called Auto mode, to automatically protect loads connected to it. It also functions under operator control to enable manual override should servicing or testing be required. Figure 45 is an illustration of the operating modes. In Auto mode, the UPS automatically switches between modes depending on line and load conditions.
Operation The High Efficiency (H.E.) mode is a user-programmable automatic mode of operation. This mode allows power to flow through the internal UPS bypass path for as long as AC input stays within the user-defined setpoints. If the input voltage or frequency deviates beyond these setpoints, the Powerware 9170 system transfers to the Double Conversion mode of operation. Complete loss of input voltage causes the UPS to transfer to Battery mode. While in H.E.
Operation Removing Input Power Always put the Powerware 9170 UPS into the Off mode before removing input power. Powerware 9170 system batteries will discharge if the input line voltage is disconnected or turned off without first turning off the Powerware 9170 UPS. If the input power source will be disconnected or turned off for more than a day or two, you should put the UPS into Sleep mode.

The Powerware 9170 system is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. Its internal control system checks the batteries and inverter periodically to ensure reliable operation. In fact, you'll probably find that your Powerware 9170 system requires less maintenance than any of your other computer peripherals.
Maintenance Storage Temperature Store the Powerware 9170 battery modules (in the unit or battery cabinet) at 20 to +40°C ( 4 to +104°F). Batteries will have a longer shelf life if they are kept below +25°C (+77°F). The Powerware 9170 UPS or battery cabinet without batteries may be stored at 40 to +60°C ( 40 to +140°F). External Bypass Switch (Make-Before-Break Only) Operation Before turning the Powerware MBB bypass switch, you must press the red button located next to the handle.
Maintenance 4. Press down on the secondary stop release, pull the module out further, and support the module weight with your second hand as you remove the module from the cabinet. Remove the battery module beside the first in a similar manner. 5. After removing a pair (one string) of battery modules, install a replacement pair. Replacements may be installed in empty cabinet slots before removing original battery modules. 6.
Maintenance 4. Insert a replacement module by sliding it carefully into the cabinet. Lower the front down slightly and lift the rear edge over the safety stop on the center support rail. Keep the module handle extended until the module is fully inserted. 5. Push the module in firmly. Raise the power module handle to secure the module into the cabinet. Be sure the handle latch snaps into place. Tighten the thumbscrew on the handle.

CHAPTER 11 TROUBLESHOOTING The following questions provide a few quick-to-find answers to commonly asked questions. Table 17. Frequently Asked Questions Question: How do I... " Answer Turn the UPS on? Verify that all power modules are securely plugged into the cabinet, and each module handle is latched. Also confirm that the DC disconnect button on the back of the external battery cabinet is closed (pulled out). Turn the optional external bypass switch to the LINE or UPS position.
Troubleshooting Question: How do I... " Answer Check the condition of the batteries? The results of the most recent battery test are stored at menu 6-2. To run a test of battery condition, go to menu 10-1 and press the button. When the test is complete, the results are again stored in menu 6 parameters. Change the battery low-voltage alarm threshold? (or any other alarm or operating limit?) This is one of the parameters that require a trained person, knowing the correct password, to perform.
Troubleshooting Alarms Figure 51 shows a typical alarm display. Alarms are annunciated by a constant Alarm LED and a constant beep. During alarm display, button (A) silences the audible alarm, button (B) clears the alarm display, and button (C) performs the normal Escape function to exit from the alarm display. The button enables you to scroll through all alarms, and the and buttons scroll through any other parameters related to the displayed alarm.
Troubleshooting Table 18 contains descriptions of critical alarm codes. Critical alarms require immediate operator attention and corrective action. Table 18. Critical Alarm Messages Alarm Message What It Means What to Do Low Battery (A) The UPS has shut down after running on battery and discharging the batteries. Wait for AC input power to be restored. When AC input power returns, the UPS begins recharging batteries and applies power to the load.
Troubleshooting Table 19 contains descriptions of non-critical alarm messages. Non-critical alarms are not as urgent as critical alarms, but should be attended to as soon as convenient to avoid the problem becoming critical. Table 19. Non-Critical Alarm Messages Alarm Message What It Means What to Do Near Low Battery (B) The battery voltage has reached the Near Low Battery setpoint. If the voltage increases, the alarm clears automatically. If it drops further, it will cause a Low Battery alarm.
Troubleshooting Alarm Reason Codes Some alarms have a reason code as well as the alarm code. These reason codes may help you to interpret and isolate the cause of an alarm. Table 20 contains a listing of all reason codes along with the associated alarm codes. It also gives an interpretation of the reason, and a suggested corrective action. Table 20.
