Minuteman UPS user manual Connecting the UPS to AN AC Source, Checking the Site Wiring Fault

English

CONNECTING THE UPS TO AN AC SOURCE

Plug the UPS into a two pole, three wire, grounded receptacle only. Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs, power strips or surge strips.

CHECKING THE SITE WIRING FAULT

After plugging in the UPS, check the Site Wiring Fault (SWF) LED on the front panel of the UPS. If the LED is illuminated, the UPS is plugged into an improperly wired AC outlet.

CAUTION! If the UPS indicates a Site Wiring Fault, have a Qualified Electrician correct the problem.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The SmartSine UPS will charge the internal batteries whenever the UPS is connected to an AC source. It is recommended that the UPS's batteries be charged for a minimum of 4 hours before use. The UPS may be used immediately, however, the “ON Battery” runtime may be less than normally expected.

NOTE: If the UPS is going to be out of service or stored for a prolonged period of time, the batteries must be recharged for at least twenty-four hours every ninety days.

COMMUNICATIONS PORT CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)

MINUTEMAN Power Management software and interface cables kits can be used with the SmartSine UPS. Use only MINUTEMAN or MINUTEMAN approved interface cables with these UPSs. Connect the interface cable to the 9 pin communications port on the rear panel of the UPS. Secure the connector to the UPS via the screws on the connector housing. Connect the other end of the cable to the device that will be monitoring/controlling the UPS.

NOTE: Connecting to the Communications Port is optional. The UPS works properly without a connection.

TELEPHONE/NETWORK SURGE PROTECTION CONNECTION (OPTIONAL) Connect a single line telephone or a 10 Base-T network line to the protection sockets on the rear panel of the UPS. This connection will require another length of telephone or network cable. The cable coming from the telephone service or networked system is connected to the port marked “IN”. The equipment to be protected is connected to the port marked "OUT".

NOTE: Connecting to the telephone/network surge protection connection is optional. The UPS works properly without a connection.
