Introduction

The Powerware® 9315 uninterruptible power supply (UPS) online power protection prevents loss of valuable electronic information, minimizes equipment downtime, and/or minimizes the adverse effect on equipment production due to unexpected power problems.

The Powerware 9315 UPS continually monitors incoming electrical power and removes the surges, spikes, sags, and other irregularities that are inherent in commercial utility power. Working with your building’s electrical system, the UPS supplies clean, consistent power that your sensitive electronic equipment requires for reliable operation. During brownouts, blackouts, and other power interruptions, one or more optional battery cabinets can provide emergency power to safeguard your operation.

The UPS functions automatically and require very little attention during normal operation. However, you should read and understand the procedures described in this manual to ensure trouble-free operation. In particular, you should be thoroughly familiar with the Load Off procedure described in Chapter 11,
