Connect Power and Equipment to the UPS

Hardwiring should be performed by a qualified electrician. Use appropriate size wires.

1. The UPS features a transient voltage surge-suppression (TVSS) screw located on the front panel. The

TVSS screw is used for connecting the ground lead on surge suppression devices such as telephone and network line protectors.

Prior to connecting the grounding cable, ensure that the UPS is NOT connected to AC or battery power.

2. Hardwire the UPS.

– In 230 V applications the UPS must be protected with a circuit breaker that complies with

European standards for branch rated protection per the country of installation.

120 V models

– In 208 V applications, the SUA500PDRI must be protected by a dual pole, 10 A branch rated circuit breaker with UL489 rating.

– The 120 V SUA500PDR has supplementary circuit breaker protection. The unit should be protected by a single pole, 15 A branch rated circuit breaker with a UL489 rating. Ensure that the branch circuit breaker is off prior to wiring the unit.

3. Connect equipment to the UPS.

4. Add optional accessories to the SmartSlot located on the front panel.

5. Turn on all connected equipment. To use the UPS as a master on/off switch, be sure all connected equipment is switched on.

6. Press the Test button on the front panel to start the UPS.

– The battery charges to 90% capacity during the first four hours of normal operation.

– Do not expect full battery run capability during this initial charge period.

Emergency Power Off

The emergency power off (EPO) feature is user configurable. EPO provides immediate de-energizing of connected equipment from a remote location, without switching to battery operation.

Use a normally-open contact to connect the EPO COM terminal to the EPO terminal.

The EPO interface is a Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuit. Connect it only to other SELV circuits. The EPO interface monitors circuits that have no determined voltage potential. Such closure circuits may be provided by a switch or relay properly isolated from the AC power source. To avoid damage to the UPS, do not connect the EPO interface to any circuit other than a closure type circuit.

Use one of the following cable types to connect the UPS to the EPO switch.

• CL2: Class 2 cable for general use.

• CL2P: Plenum cable for use in ducts, plenums, and other spaces used for environmental air.

• CL2R: Riser cable for use in a vertical run in a floor-to-floor shaft.

• CLEX: Limited use cable for use in dwellings and for use in raceways.

• For installation in Canada: Use only CSA certified, type ELC (extra-low voltage control cable).

• For installation in other countries: Use standard low-voltage cable in accordance with national and local regulations.
