Rackmount Solutions E1000RM1U, E700RM1U, E1500RM1U manual Connecting Your Equipment

CONNECTING YOUR EQUIPMENT

Plug the equipment into the output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS. Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs or surge strips on the output of the UPS. Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum output rating of the UPS (refer to the information label on the UPS or the Electrical Specifications in this manual).

CAUTION! DO NOT connect a laser printer to the output receptacles on the UPS, unless the UPS is rated 2000VA or greater. A laser printer draws significantly more power when printing than at idle and

may overload the UPS.

CONNECTING THE UPS TO AN AC SOURCE

Plug the UPS into a two pole, three wire, grounded receptacle only. Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs, or surge strips.

CHECKING THE SITE WIRING FAULT

After plugging in the UPS, check the Site Wiring Fault (SWF) LED on the control panel of the UPS. If the SWF LED is illuminated, the UPS is plugged into an improperly wired AC outlet. If the UPS indicates a Site Wiring Fault (SWF), have a Qualified Electrician correct the problem.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The Enterprise 1U Rackmount Series UPS will charge the internal batteries whenever the UPS is connected to an AC source. It is recommended that the UPS's batteries be charged for a minimum of 4 hours before use. The UPS may be used immediately, however, the “On-Battery” runtime may be less than normally expected. NOTE: If the UPS is going to be out of service or stored for a prolonged period of time, the batteries must be recharged for at least twenty- four hours every ninety days.

COMMUNICATIONS PORT CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)

MINUTEMAN Power Monitoring Software and interface cables kits can be used with the Enterprise 1U Rackmount Series UPS. Use only MINUTEMAN or MINUTEMAN approved interface cables with these UPSs. Connect the inter- face cable (Serial or USB) to the appropriate communications port on the rear panel of the UPS. Connect the other end of the cable to the device that will be monitoring/controlling the UPS. NOTE: Connecting to the Communications Port is optional. The UPS works properly without this connection.

NETWORK/PHONE/FAX/MODEM PROTECTION CONNECTION (OPTIONAL) Connect a 10/100 Base-T network, single line phone, Fax or Modem line to the RJ11/45 protection sockets on the rear panel of the UPS. This connection will require another length of telephone or network cable. The cable coming from the telephone service or networked system is connected to the port marked “IN”. The equipment to be protected is connected to the port marked "OUT". NOTE: Connecting to the Network/Phone/Fax/Modem protection socket con- nection is optional. The UPS works properly without this connection.
