1.0 INTRODUCTION
Manual Overview
This user manual has been written to provide basic information about Falcon FN Series -2TXI models. The
FN Series is a rugged, double conversion, "on-line" UPS. It has galvanic output isolation configured for a
split-phase (3 wire plus ground) 120/240Vac output. The FN Series provides continuous power conditioning
and accepts a wide range input voltage, while providing tight output voltage regulation, with a true sinewave
output. The FN Series UPS is specifically designed to protect sensitive computers and equipment against the
widest range of power problems. These problems include power failures, voltage sags, voltage surges,
brownouts, utility line noise, high voltage spikes, frequency variations, common mode noise, switching
transients, and harmonic distortion.
This manual also details unpacking, unit installation and the major features of the FN Series UPS, in addition
to detailed UPS operation, configuration and troubleshooting information.
The specifications section at the end of this manual provides detailed operating parameters and general
information on approvals and certifications.
FN UPS Overview
The Falcon FN Series UPS is designed to be easily installed in a floor standing configuration.
The FN Series front panel features a graphical LCD display, providing detailed operational information at a
glance. The display enables the user or field service engineer to easily monitor and troubleshoot localized
power problems, in addition to UPS operation. UPS control and programming are easily accessed using
push buttons located adjacent to the LCD display.
All FN -2TXI model rear panels have the following features and functions:
a. Two input Circuit Breakers. Bypass and UPS input circuit breakers are provided as supplemental
protection devices. The UPS circuit breaker acts as the main on/off switchs for the UPS. It may be
turned off to simulate a utility power loss or for performing battery runtime testing. The UPS can be
completely shutdown when both the UPS and bypass circuit breakers are turned off, and the “Off”
push button is depressed.
b. Single-phase 208-240Vac, 2 wire plus ground, hardwire input on a common terminal block.
c. Split-phase 120/240Vac, 3 wire plus ground, hardwire output on a common terminal block.
d. RS-232 Port
-
This port may be used to provide communications between the UPS and a network server
or other computer system. When used in conjunction with the supplied UPSilon software, remote UPS
monitoring and control are facilitated. The software will automatically save all open computer files and initiate
an unattended, orderly operating system shutdown in the event of a utility power outage. UPSilon supports
most MS Windows and Linux operating systems. An optional UNIX version is available through Falcon at an
additional cost.
e. Two Communications Option Board Expansion Slots
-
The slots support the installation of an
optional SNMP/HTTP Agent or contact closure interface boards. The SNMP/HTTP Agent board is a TCP-IP
addressable solution to remote UPS monitoring and management via LAN, WAN or the Internet. The agent
board is supplied with client software that will remotely shut down multiple servers or computers through the
Ethernet LAN. A CD containing software clients and a SNMP MIB II compliant MIB is provided that supports
most popular operations systems.
f. Two RJ45 connectors for connection of UPS parallel operation or remote maintenance
bypass interface cables.
Used when (2) or more FN -2TXI units are connected in parallel.
WARNING: Only FN models of identical power ratings may be connected in parallel. For example, a
FN3K-2TXI may only be connected in parallel with another FN3K-2TXI unit. The FN5K-2TXI may only be
connected in parallel with another FN5K-2TXI. The same is true for the FN6K-2TXI model.
