Connection

Note: The output voltage is set at 208/120V~ when the UPS is shipped from the factory. If you need to change the output voltage of the UPS, refer to “Output Voltage Selection” in the “Operation” section. You should select the correct output voltage before connecting equipment to the UPS.

Hardwiring Cautions

•Wiring must be installed by a qualified electrician.

•When making wiring connections, observe the regulations appropriate to your region [National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.] at all times. Be sure to install an easily accessible disconnect switch in your installation wiring so you may cut off the UPS AC input during fires and other emergencies. Ensure that cables are fitted with cable sleeves and are secured by connector clamps. Tighten connections with a torque of not less than 24-28 inch-pounds (2.7-3.2 newton-meters). Make sure that your equipment is properly grounded.

•Using cables of improper size may damage your equipment and cause fire hazards. Choose appropriate cabling and protection circuits to make wiring connections. Ground conductors must be the same size and type as the power conductors used.

•Refer to National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines for proper wire gauge and output protection circuit requirements.

Contacts on Power Module and PDU

WARNING! High Voltage! Risk of electrical shock!

Do not let these contacts touch any surface!

See "Manual Bypass Procedure" section for more information.

1Attach the PDU to the Power Module and Battery Pack.

Align and connect the PDU's power module terminal block with the input/output terminal

block A on the back of the power module. Secure the PDU to the power module with four screws. Before proceeding, ensure that the bypass switch is set to NORMAL. Remove the utility input terminal block cover B .

2Hardwire the PDU to a Utility Power Source.

Pass user-supplied cabling through the knockouts on the top of the PDU C and connect it to the PDU's input terminals D . Replace the terminal block cover. Connect the other end of the cabling to a dedicated utility power circuit of sufficient amperage.

3Connect the Battery Pack to the Power Module.

Consult the owner’s manual that came with the battery pack. Remove the retention brackets E from the power module's battery connector F and one of the battery pack's rear panel connectors G . Attach one end of the detachable battery power cable H to each connector. (Small sparks may occur; this is normal.) Reattach the retention brackets immediately to the right of each connector, using the additional screw holes I provided to

the right of the original bracket position. The brackets will secure the battery power cable connection. Warning: Always use the connector retention brackets to secure the battery pack connection. Do not attempt to operate the UPS system without the connector retention brackets in place. NOTE: the power module does not contain internal batteries and will not start until a battery pack is connected. Allow the battery to charge for at least 12 hours to ensure full battery backup for connected equipment. If you require increased battery backup runtime, an unlimited number of additional external battery packs may be daisy-chained to the primary battery pack. Adding additional external battery packs will increase runtime battery backup runtime, but it will also increase recharge time.

4Turn the UPS On.

Press the “ON” Button J until you hear a beep to begin inverter operation. The UPS will now provide output power through its AC outlets to connected equipment. The UPS will perform a brief self-test and show the results on the LCD Display

Test” in the “Operation” section for the display sequence.

Cold Start: To use the UPS as a stand-alone power source when AC input power is unavailable (i.e. during a blackout), you can cold start the UPS and power connected equipment from the battery. The battery must be at least partially charged for this operation to succeed. Press and hold the “ON” Button until you hear a beep to cold start the UPS. The LCD Display will show “ON BATTERY MODE”. Battery power will begin discharging. Some electronic equipment may draw more amps during startup; when cold starting, consider reducing the initial load on the UPS.

To Turn the UPS System OFF: Press the UPS's “OFF” Button until you hear a beep. The UPS will stop providing output power through its AC outlets. The LCD Display will show “STANDBY MODE.” The UPS will continue to charge its batteries as long as AC input power is present. To completely deactivate the UPS, disconnect the UPS from AC input power when the UPS system is in standby mode.
