NOTE
This manual provides instructions for the 3U
1.Verify that the 3U POD input cord, UPS input cord and receptacle for the UPS have the same type of configuration.
2.If you already have a UPS installed, turn off any connected loads and unplug them from the UPS. Turn off the UPS and disconnect the UPS input cord.
3.Make sure the 3U POD rotary switch is in the UTILITY position. Plug the 3U POD input cord (labeled “UTILITY”) into the utility outlet (wall receptacle).

7.Turn ON the loads and ensure all are up and operating according to specification.
8.Start the UPS according to its specific user manual.
9.Verify that the UPS lamp (green) on the 3U POD is illuminated. If so, transfer the rotary switch from UTILITY to UPS. The load is now being supplied with conditioned power through the UPS.
