Operation
Turning on the Main Circuit Breaker
After a qualified electrician has properly wired the UPS to utility power and has installed all electronics modules, turn on the AC mains at the service panel. All LEDs come on for three seconds as part of the system initialization. Each electronics module turns on in sequence (with approximately 10 seconds between modules), synching up with the utility power. The Utility LED rapidly flashes green during Startup mode.
After all electronics modules have synchronized, the UPS enters Standby mode, indicated by the Utility LED slowly flashing green. The system will begin charging the batteries, but will not assume the load. The system will remain in Standby mode until the UPS On command is received.
NOTE: The time required to transition from Startup mode to Standby mode can range from 45 seconds to several minutes, depending on the state of charge of the batteries.
Charging the Batteries
When the UPS is in Standby mode, allow the batteries to charge before putting the UPS into service. The battery status can be monitored using the LCD display. Refer to the section, “Displaying the Battery Charge Data,” in Chapter 3 for information on how to view current battery charge on the LCD display.
IMPORTANT: The battery modules will charge to:
•80 percent of their capacity within 3 hours.
•100 percent of their capacity within 48 hours.
Charge the batteries for at least 24 hours before supplying backup power to your devices.
