Installation

W A R N I N G

SThis UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

SDo not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes the safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.

STo reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). Do not operate near water or excessive humidity (95% max).

STo comply with international standards, the sum of earth leakage current from the load connected to the UPS must not exceed 1.5 mA.

Installing the UPS

The following steps explain how to install the UPS. Figure 2 shows a typical installation only. See “UPS Rear Panels” on page 6 for the rear panel of each model.

1.If you are installing power management software, connect your computer to the UPS communication port using the supplied communication cable.

NOTE If you need to change the factory-set defaults for the output voltage or input voltage range, see “Voltage Configuration” on page 13 before installing the UPS.

2.On 230V models, plug the power cord into the input connector on the UPS rear panel.

Customer-supplied power cords must be correctly rated for the UPS (see “Specifications” on page 23). You can also use the power cord from the largest load if it is correctly rated.
