5.
For SG800VA - SG1kVA and 208-240V models, connect the power cord to the UPS
inlet located on the UPS rear panel. On SG1.5K - SG3K 120V models the line cord is
permanently attached to the UPS.
6.
Select a suitable location for the UPS, near enough to the computer or equipment to
to be protected. Connect the power cord(s) for the equipment to be protected to the
UPS output receptacles.
VERIFY THE TABLE OR SURFACE SUPPORTING THE UPS WILL SUPPORT THE
WEIGHT OF THE UPS AND ANY OPTIONAL EXTENDED BATTERY BANKS.
800VA-1KVA UPS MODELS = 33 lbs. (14.9 kg)
1.5KVA- 2KVA UPS MODELS = 68.4 lbs. (31 kg)
3KVA UPS MODELS = 81.4 lbs. (37 kg)
2 & 3kVA-1TX, -1TXI, -2TX & -2TXI models = 150 lbs. (68 kg)
MINI-TOWER EXTENDED BATTERY BANKS = 123 lbs. (55.8 kg) MAX. (EACH BANK)
FLOOR STANDING EXTENDED BATTERY BANKS = 363 lbs. (165 kg) MAX. (EACH BANK)
7.
If extended battery banks are to be connected to the UPS, please refer to page 8 for
further instructions.
8.
If unattended computer shutdown and monitoring are desired, connect the green
UPS/Computer cable to the DB-9 connector located on the UPS rear panel. Then
install the shutdown and monitoring software provided with the UPS. For your
reference, UNIX shutdown and monitoring software is available from Falcon Electric
at an additional cost.
9.
Verify the location selected has adequate ventilation to allow for the proper cooling of
the UPS.
DO NOT BLOCK UPS FANS OR AIR VENTS. THE UPS MUST NOT BE
INSTALLED IN AN ENCLOSED AREA
.
10.
Plug the UPS power cord into the nearest grounded wall outlet. SG1K-2T 208-240V
models will automatically turn on since they do not have an input circuit breaker. For
all other SG models, go to step 12.
11.
Turn the input circuit breaker located on the UPS rear panel to the “on” position. The
internal UPS fan and front panel "line" indicator should turn on, followed by the
"bypass" LED, and after several seconds, the "inverter" LED.
12.
Turn on the connected equipment and verify the UPS does not go into overload by
observing the front panel load indicator LEDs.
13.
The UPS, optional external battery bank(s) and additional chargers should be plugged
in and turned on for 24 hours to charge the batteries. During this initial 24 hour
charging period, battery backup time may be substantially reduced.
TO TURN OFF THE UPS, SWITCH OFF THE INPUT CIRCUIT BREAKER
LOCATED ON THE UPS REAR PANEL AND PRESS THE ON/OFF
BUTTON LOCATED ON THE UPS FRONT PANEL UNTIL THE UPS BEEPS.
THE UPS WILL RUN FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND SHUTDOWN. DO NOT
PRESS THE ON/OFF BUTTON OR TURN THE CIRCUIT BREAKER ON AGAIN
DURING THE SHUTDOWN PROCESS OR THE UPS WILL GO TO AN ALARM
CONDITION, WARNING THAT THE UPS WAS NOT SHUTDOWN PROPERLY.
SHOULD THIS OCCUR, TURN OFF THE INPUT CIRCUIT BREAKER AGAIN AND
WAIT UNTIL THE UPS SHUTS DOWN.
