IMPORTANT NOTICE ON BATTERY WARRANTY
The warranty policy stated in Section 8 is not valid for applications in
which the UPM is regularly and intentionally disconnected from AC
mains power. AMETEK Powervar’s two year battery warranty applies
only to products that are properly installed and consistently connected
to AC mains power, except during utility outages.
Products regularly and intentionally disconnected from AC mains
power will experience substantially reduced battery life. AMETEK
Powervar’s standard warranty term does not apply in these cases
and is supplanted by a 90-day warranty from time of shipment from

General
The AMETEK-Powervar Security II UPM (hereafter refered to as “UPM”)
systems are the most advanced, line interactive, true sinewave UPS prod-
ucts available for your application. Each model is designed to provide total
protection for your system from a complete range of power quality problems.
UPM systems will protect your installation from normal mode voltage im-
pulses, electrical noise, sags, surges, brownouts, and blackouts. Each UPM
contains a low impedance isolation transformer, it completely eliminates
common-mode (neutral-to-ground) voltages that are a constant threat to
the reliable operation of microprocessor-based systems. When AC power is
present, UPM constantly lters and conditions the power supply. When AC
power fails, the UPM uses its internal, maintenance-free battery to supply
reserved power to your computer system. Regardless of whether or not
commercial power is present, the UPM is consistently on the job. Ensuring a
fully conditioned, safely managed interface between your computer system
and its electrical power supply. Figure 1 illustrates the basic operation of the
UPM.

4.0 OPERATION
NOTE:
In order to operate the UPM, you must rst plug the battery enable
plug(s) into the battery enable socket(s) behind the front panel of the
UPM.
On/Off Button
The On/Off button is a dual function control:
• When the UPM is off and AC power is present to the UPM input,
pressing the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds will turn the UPM
output on.
• If battery is connected, pressing the On/Off switch for 2 seconds or
more will “cold-start” the UPM on its internal battery with no incoming
AC present.
• When the UPM is on, pressing the On/Off button for more than 2
seconds will turn off the UPM output power.
Test/Silence Button
The Test/Silence button is a dual function control:
• Pressing the Test/Silence button when AC power is present and the
UPM is operating causes the UPM to enter a self test mode in which
it tests both battery and inverter for a few seconds before returning to
the AC supply. We recommend you close all open les before initiating
self-test.
• When AC power fails, the UPM warns you with an audible alarm. The
Test/Silence button is used to silence the alarm. When battery power
begins to run low, the audible alarm will automatically return and beep
at a faster rate.

18 A01-00071 Rev Fwww.powervar.com
Load Monitor
The Load Monitor is a six-segment LED display that shows the current load
percentage. The rst 5 LED’s each indicate approximately 20% load, with the
6th red LED showing the UPM is overloaded.
Battery Charge Monitor
The Battery Charge Monitor is a ve-segment LED display that shows the
charge capacity of the internal battery from zero to 100%. Each LED indicates
approximately 20% of full charge.
Site Wiring Fault Indicator – (120 VAC models only)
The “SF” symbol will be displayed on the front panel of the UPM if it is
connected to an improperly wired AC receptacle. This is to indicate a missing
safety ground wire or a reversal in phase and neutral wiring. If the “SF”
is displayed on the front panel you should contact a qualied electrician
immediately.
NOTE:
Do not operate the UPM if the Site Wiring Fault LED is illuminated.
When lit, the LED is indicating a wiring condition, which may represent
a hazard of re or electrocution. In addition, improper wiring may create
reliability problems for both the UPM and the connected system. Never
use a 3-blade to 2-blade adapter (often called a “cheater”) to power UPM.
These devices remove the safety ground connection to the UPM and will
cause the Site Wiring Fault LED to illuminate.

Example:
UPM display showing normal operation
(Fully charged batteries with 60% load shown)
UPM display showing in battery backup operation
(Batteries 80% charged with 60% load shown)
UPM display showing an overload condition (Batteries 100%
charged and greater than 100% load shown)
UPM display showing over-temperature condition
(Batteries 80% charged with 80% load shown)
UPM display showing a bad battery condition
(Inspect or replace battery unit loaded to 60%)
NOTE:
Depending on the charge state of the battery, it is possible that the
battery charge level LEDs may be ashing (this is normal).
Initial Startup
With the connected equipment powered off, perform an initial test of the
UPM backup function by pressing the Test/Silence button on the front pan-
el. During this test, the Battery LED ( ) on the front panel should briey
illuminate. It is also possible to test the backup function by unplugging the
UPM input power cord. If you choose to test the UPM in this manner, you
will note that the UPM will beep every few seconds while the power cord is
unplugged. The Battery LED ( ) will also illuminate constantly.
Once you have performed an initial test of the UPM backup function, turn on
the connected computer equipment. Verify that the unit is not overloaded. If
the unit is overloaded all load LED’s will be on the fault LED ( ) will ash,
remove the least critical devices from the UPM one by one until the overload
LED is extinguished. With the connected loads powered up, perform the
backup test once again by pressing the Test/Silence button or unplugging the
UPM. When this nal test is completed, the UPM will be ready to use.
