American Power Conversion SYMINIF, SYMSTRF-PD Powering the Loads, Review Status Conditions

Chapter 7 - Configuring & Operating the SymmetraTM

Step 2: Powering the Loads

1.Use the sequence in figure 7-2 on the PowerView interface to enter the “Turn Load On” command.

Fig 7-2“Turn Load On” Command Sequence

2.The Power Array has now been instructed to power up the load equipment. It conducts a self diagnosis, and determines if the conditions are appropriate to power the load. Depend- ing on the diagnostics, the Power Array will either power the load, or one of several startup over-ride messages will ap- pear. A startup over-ride message indicates an exceptional condition exists, and gives the option to proceed or abort. An example startup over-ride message is displayed below:

Fig 7-3Sample Startup Over-Ride Message

For this initial sequence, select “start now” for any startup over-ride message that may appear.

Note: If an alarm sounds, and a “fault message” appears, see chapter 9 for the cause, and the corrective action.

3.When the load has been successfully powered, the green “LOAD ON” LED will glow, and the message “UPS LOAD IS ON” will appear on the screen.

Note: The yellow "ON BATT" LED will glow momentarily, while the system is conducting the self test.

4.Press the Escape key and return to the startup screen. Note: The output voltage now registers on the display, and the load percentage and run time are now based on the actual load.

Step 3: Review Status Conditions

In this step, the status conditions of the Power Array are ac- cessed with the PowerView. Status information is used as “reference” information about the condition of the Power Array, and the modular components. Review the following status screens for content. Status information is accessed via the “Status” menu item on the top level menu.

Position the arrow cursor next to the “Status” menu item on the top level menu screen. Press enter. The voltage status screen appears.

The voltage status screen displays the following information: Input Voltage - the actual input voltage from the utility source.

Output Voltage - the actual output voltage. Load Current - the amperage drawn by the load.

After the voltage status screen has been reviewed, press the enter key. The load with redundancy status screen appears.
