Installing Your Ups System

AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR(AVR)

The PR5000LCDRTXL5U/ PR6000LCDRTXL5U stabilizes damaging inconsistent utility power. The Automatic Voltage Regulator automatically regulates low or high voltages to keep equipment working at safe AC power levels (208/240V) without switching to battery. Your equipment operates normally when power problems, such as, shout brownouts and blackouts. The unit’s powerful sealed lead-acid batteries will provide power during the incoming voltage drops below 131V or increases above 268V.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE

1.Battery charge loss may occur during shipping and storage. Before using the UPS, it’s strongly recommended to charge batteries for four hours typically to ensure that the batteries’ maximum charge capacity is met. To recharge the batteries, simply plug the UPS into an AC outlet.

2.When using the included software, connect either the serial or the USB cable between the computer and the corresponding port on the UPS. Note: If the USB port is used, the serial port will be disabled. They cannot be used simultaneously. The computer with the PowerPanel® Business Edition Agent software connects to the USB port or the Serial port on the UPS. It can control the operating schedule, battery test, outlet, etc. and obtain information on the UPS status. However, other computers with PowerPanel® Business Edition Client software can only obtain UPS status information via a LAN connection.

3.With the UPS off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device (Hard drive, Tape drive, etc.) into the outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum, paper shredder or other large electrical device into the UPS. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.

4.To protect a fax, telephone, modem line or network cable, connect the telephone or network cable from the wall jack outlet to the jack marked “IN” of the UPS. Then, connect a telephone cable or network cable from the jack marked “OUT” on the UPS to the modem, computer, telephone, fax machine, or network device.

5.Press the power switch to turn the UPS on. The Power-On indicator light will illuminate. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the UPS will emit one long beep. In order to reset it, turn the unit off and unplug some equipment from outlets. Make sure your equipment carry a load current within the unit’s safe range, (refer to the technical specifications), and then turn the unit on.

6.Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will automatically charge, even when the unit is switched off.

7.To maintain an optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.

8.Before storing the UPS for an extended period of time, turn the unit OFF. Then cover it and store it with the batteries fully charged. Recharge the batteries every three months to ensure good battery capacity and long battery life. Maintaining a good battery charge will help prevent possible damage to the unit from battery leakage.

9.The unit has one Primary Serial Port (I), one Secondary Serial Port (II), and one USB port, (paired with the Primary Serial Port), to allow connection and communication between the unit and any attached computers. The Primary Serial Port (I) as well as its paired USB port allow for bi-directional communication among the UPS and the primary connected computer running the PowerPanel® Business Edition Agent software. The UPS can control the computer’s shutdown in case of an emergency, and at the same time, the computer can monitor the UPS and alter its various programmable parameters. On the other hand, secondary Serial Port II, only allows the UPS to initiate the connected computer’s graceful shutdown in case of an emergency.

10.EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port:

Use the provided gray cable to connect to a special EPO contact switch. Follow the appropriate circuit diagram below to wire the cable to your EPO configuration. The EPO remote switch is a switch installed in an outside area, connected to the unit via an ordinary RJ-11 phone line. In case of an emergency, it can be used to immediately cut off power from the UPS unit.

11.To avoid electrical shock, before hardwiring the UPS (in/out power cord), turn the unit OFF and disconnect the unit from utility power. The in/out power cord MUST be grounded.
