UPS Maintenance

Using the UPS-Mounted Maintenance Bypass Switch

The UPS-mounted Maintenance Bypass switch is part of the optional Maintenance Bypass Module or Power Distribution Module and is located on the back of the UPS (see Figure 41).

Figure 41. Maintenance Bypass Switch (PDM Shown)

 

 

The UPS-mounted bypass switch has three positions as described in

 

 

 

 

Table 14.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE In the UPS or SERVICE position, AC input power is still

 

 

 

 

connected to the input terminals inside the UPS.

Switch Position

 

Description

 

 

UPS

Connects the UPS output to the load.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SERVICE

Connects the load directly to AC input power and disconnects UPS output. AC input

 

 

 

power is still connected to the UPS input.

 

 

BYPASS

Like the SERVICE position, BYPASS connects the load directly to AC input power and

 

 

 

disconnects UPS output. However, because BYPASS also disconnects AC input

 

 

 

from the UPS, this is the appropriate position for UPS maintenance or repair.
