4.8 Start-Up

To start the UPS, follow the instructions listed below.

4.8.1If a UPS monitoring signal cable is to be installed, connect it to the Electronic Unit’s Computer Interface Port. For more details on the computer interface port, see the manual section entitled UPS Monitoring.

4.8.2Plug the UPS’s input plug into a twist- lock L6-30R two-pole, three wire grounding outlet.

Note: See section 4.9 if the UPS’s plug is not compatible with the available wall outlet.

4.8.3Plug all loads to be protected into the UPS. Do not exceed the UPS’s maximum capacity as listed in the Specifications section of this manual. The total load capacity is continuously monitored by the UPS and is displayed once the UPS is switched on.

4.8.4Power the UPS by switching On the input circuit breaker.

Note: The UPS may make a "bump" noise when first switched on. This is normal. The UPS will not make this sound again.

Note: If the input circuit breaker is rapidly switched On - Off - On, the UPS may be caused to operate in the bypass mode. Follow the display prompts to return to normal on-line operation.

4.8.6The UPS should display its status as "On-Line." When first turned on, the UPS may adjust the on-line output voltage. Soft "clicking" sounds may be heard when this is accomplished. This is normal.

Note: See the Difficulty section of this manual if the UPS displays a fault message.

4.8.7Switch on the protected loads and check the UPS’s display. Total load capacity is displayed as a percent of the UPS’s full rated capacity. It should read below 100%. If above 100%, the UPS
