5.0 Operation

5.2.6 UPS Setup (continued)

“30s dely”—The on-battery audible alarm is disabled for the first 30 seconds of on-battery operation.

“Low Batt”—The audible alarm is disabled during on- battery operation until low-battery conditions are reached.

“Disable”—The audible alarm is disabled during on- battery operation and low-battery conditions.

For computer networks that are unable to issue UPS shutdown commands during the last part of a shutdown routine, the UPS provides a settable shutdown delay interval to allow the network to finish its shutdown routine.

Shutdown delay choices are 20, 180, 300, and 600 seconds.

You may set a delay interval for energizing the output after return of normal mains voltage, or after a scheduled shutdown. This is useful in applications that require staggered power up of equipment connected at various sources.

Load power delay choices are 0, 60, 180, and 300 seconds.

The user may select the UPS’s nominal output voltage to values of 220, 225, 230, or 240 Vac.

The UPS’s nominal output voltage can be changed to

208V using optional power distribution plates (also called “PDUs,” contact your dealer or the factory) regardless of whether the input is configured for 208V or 240V service. When an optional PDU is installed, the UPS must be set to report the correct output voltage. When the “Auto” function is chosen, the reported nominal output voltage is scaled according to the input tap selected.

American Power Conversion 5000, 3000 manual Operation

3000, 5000 specifications

American Power Conversion (APC) has long been a leader in the manufacturing of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and among its range of products, the APC 5000 and 3000 series stand out for their robust performance and reliability. These UPS systems are designed to ensure a continuous flow of power, protecting sensitive electronic equipment from fluctuations and outages.

The APC 5000 and 3000 models boast a range of key features that make them suitable for both commercial and residential applications. One of the primary characteristics is their high power capacity. The 5000 model provides a substantial 5000VA/4500W output, while the 3000 variant offers 3000VA/2700W. This enables users to connect multiple devices and critical loads without the risk of overload.

Both models utilize advanced double conversion technology, which ensures that the output power is consistently clean and stable. This technology is crucial for sensitive electronics, as it filters out voltage irregularities, providing pure sine wave output. This characteristic is particularly important for equipment like servers, data centers, and networking hardware, as it enhances their longevity and operational efficiency.

Another notable feature is their extended battery runtime capability. The APC 5000 and 3000 units are designed with hot-swappable batteries, allowing for easy replacement without interrupting the power supply. This enhances the overall reliability of the system, ensuring that even during maintenance, equipment remains operational.

In terms of connectivity, both models come equipped with multiple outlets for various plug types, as well as USB and network ports for monitoring and management. The integration with APC's PowerChute software allows users to manage power preferences, monitor battery health, and receive alerts when attention is needed. This level of monitoring is essential for facilities management teams, allowing them to ensure continuous operations without power-related disruptions.

The APC 5000 and 3000 also feature robust thermal management systems. With built-in fans, these units ensure efficient airflow and heat dissipation, protecting internal components from damage due to overheating.

In conclusion, the APC 5000 and 3000 series represent a powerful solution for those seeking reliable power protection. With their advanced technologies, multiple connectivity options, and serviceability features, these UPS systems stand out as trusted components in any power management strategy. Whether in a data center or a home office, the reliability and efficiency of these models make them invaluable in today’s power-dependent environment.
