3. Electrical Connections
Connect the UPS to a dedicated electrical circuit. Ensure the input voltage matches the UPS requirements (208V nominal). Connect your equipment to the output receptacles of the UPS and the 208V to 120V step-down transformers as needed.
- Input Power: Connect the UPS input power cord to a properly grounded 208V AC outlet.
- Output Power: Connect critical equipment to the UPS output receptacles. For 120V loads, connect them to the output receptacles of the 208V to 120V 5KVA Step-Down Transformers.
- Battery Connection: Ensure all internal and external battery connections are secure.
4. Initial Power-Up
After all connections are made, press the power button on the front panel to turn on the UPS. The UPS will perform a self-test and then enter online mode.
Operation
1. Front Panel Display (LCD)
The LCD display provides real-time information about the UPS status, load, battery charge, and various settings. Use the navigation buttons (ESC, OK, Up, Down) to browse menus and adjust settings.
- Status Screen: Displays current output voltage, load percentage, battery status, and operational mode (Online, On Battery, Bypass).
- Configuration Menu: Allows adjustment of settings such as output voltage, alarm thresholds, and network parameters.
2. Basic Operation
- Turning On: Press and hold the power button until the display illuminates.
- Turning Off: Press and hold the power button until the UPS initiates shutdown.
3. Understanding Status Indicators
The UPS uses various indicators (LEDs and LCD messages) to communicate its operational status and any potential issues. Refer to the troubleshooting section for specific error codes.
Maintenance
1. Battery Replacement
The UPS batteries are user-replaceable. Replace batteries when indicated by the UPS or after their service life (typically 3-5 years). Use only APC-approved replacement battery cartridges.
- Safety First: Disconnect the UPS from AC power and turn it off before attempting battery replacement.
- Procedure: Follow the specific instructions provided with the replacement battery cartridge for safe removal and installation.
