ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

NOTE If you have a plug-receptacle unit, continue to “Battery Cabinet Installation” on page 53 to install optional battery cabinets or to the startup section in the Powerware FERRUPS FE/QFE UPS (500 VA–18 kVA) User’s Guide.

W A R N I N G

Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the hardwired installation. Risk of electrical shock.

Before installing your UPS, complete the following information:

From the ID label on the UPS rear panel:

Model number:

Input voltage:

Output voltage:

From the bypass switch label:

Model number:

Internal or External?

Make-Before-Break (MBB) or Break-Before-Make (BBM)?

Verify that the UPS input and output voltages are what is required for your application:

Does the input voltage for the UPS at the AC service panel match the input voltage in Step 1?

Does the output voltage in Step 1 match the output voltage of the equipment you are using with the UPS?

NOTE The FERRUPS provides single-phase power only.

If you answered NO to either question in Step 3, contact your service representative or your local distributor for assistance.
