Powerware 9315 operation manual UPS Standard Features, Monitor Panel

UPS Standard Features

The UPS has many standard features that provide cost-effective and consistently reliable power protection:

Monitor Panel

The Monitor Panel on the front of the UPS contains an LCD screen to display the current status of the UPS. You can view a statistical history and log of UPS events and display a real-time graphic representation of power flowing through the UPS components. Backlit status indicators show the operating mode of the UPS and alert you to system events. The emergency LOAD OFF pushbutton is also located on the monitor panel and is described in Chapter 5, “Using the Monitor Panel.”

Control Panel

The Control Panel inside the right door of the UPS contains the operator controls to start and stop the UPS, change the operating mode, and reset the LOAD OFF pushbutton. The Control Panel is described in “Using the Control Panel” section of Chapter 4.

Communication Panel

Computer Interface

Two serial communications ports are standard on all units, and are electrically isolated from the UPS. You can use these ports to link the UPS to the features described in Chapter 7, “Serial Communications” and Chapter 8, “Remote Notification.”

Summary Alarm Contacts

Alarm contacts are provided for connection to equipment at your facility, such as a light, an audible alarm, or a computer terminal. The equipment you connect to these contacts alerts you to a UPS alarm. This feature is described further in Chapter 6, “Using Features and Options.”

Building Alarm Monitoring

You can connect your facility’s alarm system contacts to six (6) inputs in the UPS. The UPS uses these inputs to monitor your building alarms in addition to the UPS status. This feature is described further in Chapter 6, “Using Features and Options.”

Input Filter

Your unit may be equipped with an input filter. An input filter yields power factor correction that allows you to save on your initial installation and operating costs. The filter also reduces input harmonic current distortion and minimizes upstream interference that can damage sensitive hardware components.

Emergency Load Off

A LOAD OFF pushbutton is provided for situations where you must immediately remove all power to your critical load. The pushbutton is located on the front of the UPS for quick access and is covered with a clear plastic shield to prevent inadvertent operation. The shield must be raised before pressing the pushbutton. The LOAD OFF pushbutton is described in detail in Chapter 12, “Using the LOAD OFF Pushbutton.”

Automatic Battery Charge Current Limit

A preset limit restricts battery charging current to protect batteries from damage due to high current charging. Charging at high currents can overheat and damage batteries.
