HOW THE CONTINUOUS POWER SERIES PROTECTS YOUR SYSTEM

The Continuous Power Series UPS has two basic functions:

� Prevent AC line interruptions from disrupting your load (computernetwork, workstations, etc.)

� Condition poor quality AC power before it disrupts your load

AC power disturbances come in many forms, from full blackouts to radiotransmissions on a factory floor. The Continuous Power Series is designed torespond to these power problems before they affect the operation of yoursensitive electrical equipment. Various types of AC power disturbances in-clude:

� No voltage (blackout)

� Low voltage (brownout)

� High voltage

� Slow voltage fluctuation (voltage sag)

� Frequency variations

� Common mode noise

� Normal mode noise

� Transients caused by switching and faults

Electrical disturbances can damage software, hardware, and cause equipmentto operate erratically. The Continuous Power Series protects equipment bymaintaining a constant output voltage and by conditioning poor quality ACpower before it reaches sensitive electric equipment. Because the ContinuousPower Series is a true online UPS, it also provides instantaneous backuppower during a power failure with no interruption to your load(s). The blockdiagram in Figure 1-2 illustrates how the Continuous Power Series UPS isconnected to AC power and loads.

USING COMMUNICATION INTERFACES AND REAR PANEL CONTROLS

The Continuous Power Series has several communication interfaces that allowthe user to monitor and control UPS functions through either remote monitor-ing devices or through a host computer. The Continuous Power Series alsohas several rear panel controls that are explained in this section.


Relay Interface Port

RS-232

REPO Port

Start-On-Battery

Figure 4-4. The UPS Communication Ports

REMOTE EMERGENCY POWER OFFThe Continuous Power Series has a dedicated port for a Remote EmergencyPower Off (REPO) device. A REPO device, shown in Figure 4-4, is designedto shutdown the UPS from a remote location by opening a normally closedswitch. When the REPO switch is activated, power is turned off to the terminalblocks or receptacles at the back of the unit. For details about installing andoperating a REPO device, see the instructions that accompany the device.

W A R N I N G

REPO wiring should also trip the input breaker to the UPS tocompletely turn off the UPS.

RELAY INTERFACE PORTSThe relay interface port provides alarm signals on dry contacts. Table 4-2 andFigure 4-5 show the pin locations for each alarm. Alarms include a summaryalarm, bypass indicator, line failure indicator, and an impending low batteryindicator. For details about how to use the various remote status devices, readthe instructions that come with those devices.

REAR PANEL CIRCUIT BREAKERSThe Minuteman Continuous Power Series has two types of output circuitbreakers on the rear panel. The push-button type circuit breaker protects eachstandard 5-15R duplex. When the push-button circuit breaker trips, it popsouts and a green ring appears. Push it in to reset.

C A U T I O N

Pushing in the push-button circuit breaker when it is nottripped, causes the circuit to open and your load to drop.

CAUTION!

Section 4 Operation

The branch-type circuit breaker protects both 5-15R duplexes. When thebreaker trips a red flag appears in the small window on the switch. To reset,move the switch to the OFF position then to the ON position.

USING OPTIONS

Your UPS may have several options including a second RS-232 port, trans-former, external batteries, a start-on-battery switch, and a manual bypassswitch. Each option is explained below.

SECOND RS-232 PORT WITH MODEM BOARD

The second RS-232 port on the rear panel of the UPS is used in conjunctionwith a modem board. The modem board allows the UPS to communicatepossible problems to a service center over the telephone lines. A modemboard allows both RS-232 ports to operate.

EXTERNAL BATTERY PACKS (RESERVE PACKS)Battery packs contain maintenance free batteries and have no user operations.External battery packs can be daisy chained together. See section 3, Installa-tion, for instruction on installing external battery packs.

START-ON-BATTERYThe start-on-battery switch option, shown in Figure 4-4, allows the user to turnon loads from the UPS during a power outage, provided that enough batterybackup is available. The switch is located at the rear panel of the UPS. To startthe UPS on battery, press and hold the start-on-battery switch for 20 secondsor until the UPS turns on.

MANUAL BYPASS SWITCHThe manual bypass switch (MBS) is on the rear panel of the UPS at thebottom as shown in Figure 4-6. Only use the manual bypass switch when thebypass mode LED is on. See Operation Mode under, �Off Button� earlier in thissection for instructions about how to place UPS in bypass mode. When theUPS is on bypass, AC input bypasses the UPS and goes directly to the load. Ifa power problem occurs while the UPS is on bypass, the unit does not switchto battery power.

C A U T I O N

Do not use the manual bypass switch unless the UPS is inbypass mode. When the UPS is in bypass mode, the bypassLED is on.

CAUTION!


Figure 4-6. The Optional Manual Bypass Switch

OUTPUT CIRCUIT BREAKER PLATEThe output circuit breaker, shown in Figure 4-7, trips when the load circuit isoverloaded. To reset the load circuit breaker, move the switch to the Onposition.

N O T E

If the breaker trips repeatedly, check connected loads. Dis-connect defective loads.

M A I N T E N A N C E

This section explains UPS care and maintenance including preventive mainte-nance, battery care, and UPS storage.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

You can expect long, trouble-free operation from the Continuous Power SeriesUPS by taking a few preventive maintenance measures. Keep the area aroundthe UPS clean and relatively dust free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, cleanthe outside of the system periodically with a vacuum cleaner.

BATTERY LIFE

By keeping the UPS at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F), full battery lifecan be achieved, providing that battery usage is not abnormal.

BATTERY RECHARGING

While the UPS is on, the batteries are automatically recharged when powerreturns after a power failure. Complete recharging can take up to 24 hours.However, most charging is done in less than 8 hours. The battery does nothave to be fully charged to protect your system. The Continuous Power Seriesis designed to provide protection through multiple power outages as long asbattery power is available.

STORING THE UPSIf you plan to store the UPS, follow the guidelines below to protect thebatteries:

� Fully charge the batteries before you store the UPS.

� Turn the UPS OFF whenever it is being stored.

� Avoid storage temperatures above 27°C (80°F). The preferred storagetemperature is 21°C (70°F).

� Every 180 days, connect the UPS to an AC source, or plug the UPSinto an AC outlet (plug and play models), and operate the UPS for 12hours to charge the batteries. The batteries may suffer damage if notcharged every 180 days during storage.

� When moving, storing, or operating the UPS, you must keep it upright.
