NOTE TO USERS
To ensure correct operation of the UPS, please read this instruction
manual carefully. Please keep this manual handy for future reference.
This UPS has dangerously high voltages on both its Input
and output connections. Contact with these voltages may
be life threatening. Please follow the operating instructions
carefully. Please give close attention to the warnings in
this manual and those posted on the UPS.There are no
user serviceable parts inside the UPS. Disassembly and/or
maintenance should only be done by authorized personnel.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR USERS OF
THIS UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY
1. Before operating the UPS or connecting any load equipment, please
ensure the UPS is connected to a properly grounded electrical
supply.
2. This UPS has dangerously high voltages on both its input and
output connections. Contact with these voltages may be life
threatening.
3. Please do not disassemble the covers. There is a risk of electric
shock.
4. In an emergency, immediately turn off the circuit breaker for the
circuit supplying power to the UPS. Also immediately turn off the
battery circuit breaker.
5. This UPS has two power sources. One is the circuit supplying the
UPS with input power. The other is the UPS battery. Prior to any
maintenance, both of these power sources must be disconnected
to ensure that the UPS is de-energized. If only the input power
is disconnected, the UPS can still operate from the battery, and
hazardous voltages may still exist.

7A01-00119 Rev. B
6. To prevent damage or a safety hazard, keep the UPS away from
open flame and any other devices that may cause sparks.
7. Do not open or damage individual battery cases as spillage of
caustic electrolyte may occur resulting in danger to life, safety, and
the environment.
8. The charging characteristics of UPS batteries vary by both brand
and type. For this reason, replacement batteries should be of the
same brand and type as those specified by the manufacturer.
Using batteries other than the brand and type specified by the
manufacturer may affect the performance of the UPS. Before
installing batteries of different brand or type, please consult with the
manufacturer.
9. The UPS has an internal EMI filter for purposes of enhancing
electromagnetic compatibility with the input mains supply. This
filter produces leakage current to earth on the input mains. When
selecting a circuit breaker for the branch circuit supplying power
to the UPS, ensure that the breaker selected is not an ELCB type
circuit breaker that detects earth leakage current.
10. Please contact the manufacturer or an authorized distributor for any
assistance with troubleshooting.
11. The UPS should only be serviced or maintained by a factory
authorized service technician.
12. This UPS meets FCC Class A electromagnetic compatibility
requirements.
13. Depleted batteries must be disposed of in a proper manner.
Contact your local recycling or hazardous waste center or the UPS
manufacturer for instructions concerning proper disposal.

1.0 INSTALLATION
This chapter deals with the installation of the UPS, including unpacking
and checking for shipping damage, installation environment, installation
tools, selection of input & output conductors, installation procedure,
installation preparations, mechanical installation, battery cabinet
installation, etc. Before installing, please become familiar with the
safety standards in the installation illustration.
Unpacking and Checking
Unpack the UPS and conduct the following items:
• Inspect the UPS for shipping damage. If any shipping damage has
occurred, report it to the carrier and your Powervar Representative
immediately. Please provide photos of the UPS damage and we
will be happy to take the appropriate action. Be sure and save all
shipping paperwork
• Check the packing list to ensure that all peripherals are accounted
for and correct for the application. If there is any discrepancy,
make notations and contact your Powervar Representative
immediately.
Environment
The final UPS installation location should meet the following requirements:
• The temperature and humidity should be within the range of
0–40°C and 0%–95% respectively.
• Do not install the UPS in a location where the working
environment has metal conductive dust.
• Don’t install UPS outdoors or in the open air. UPS installation
should be within the specification of the UPS.
• Install the UPS in a climate-controlled environment that with good
ventilation and free of dust, volatile gases, salt, and corrosive
materials. Keep the UPS away from water, any heat source,
flammable and explosive substances. Avoid direct sunlight.

CAUTION
To avoid electric shock, the use of insulated tools is
suggested.
Installation Clearance
The recommended UPS installation clearance should meet the following
requirements:
• Maintain a clearance of at least 3’ from the front panel to the
wall or adjacent equipment, and at last 3’ from the top of the
UPS to the ceiling, this will ensure good ventilation, as shown in
Figure1-1.
Note:
If allowable, it is suggested to maintain a minimal distance of 4”
from the rear panel to wall or adjacent equipment.
Figure 1-1 Installation clearance

11A01-00119 Rev. B
• To prevent internal UPS temperature rise, and thereby possibly
shortening the effective life of the UPS, keep the air inlets at the
front panel and rear panel of the UPS unobstructed.
Selection of Input and Output Conductors
For the sizing of input/output & battery cabinet connection conductors,
please refer to Table1-1 and Table1-2.

Do not attempt to dismantle the battery, as its internal electrolyte is
harmful to skin and eyes. When replacing the battery, please adhere to
the following preventive measures to avoid the risk of electric shock and
short-circuit.
• Do not wear watches, rings or other metal jewelry.
• Use insulated tools.
• Do not place tools or metal objects on the battery.
• Keep the battery away from fire. No smoking in vicinity of
batteries.
1.1.3 Installation
CAUTION
The installation and maintenance of the external battery
cabinet(s), should only be performed by factory authorized
service technicians.
The installation steps for the external battery cabinet(s) are as follows.
Step 1 Install the missing cable (removed for shipping) per battery
cabinet manufacturer instructions.
CAUTION
Before making any connections, please make sure main
breaker of the batter cabinet is open.
Step 2 After opening the battery breaker, connect the external battery
cabinet to the UPS using customer supplied conductors in
accordance with all manufacturers recommendations and the
NEC. Use extreme care to ensure proper polarity.

15A01-00119 Rev. B
Step 3 Start the mains switch. After the UPS working normally,
measure the voltage of battery switch.
Step 4 Ensure that the UPS and battery polarity are right and accord
with the technical specifications of UPS. Close the switch
between the UPS and battery group, and then the UPS start
to charge for battery group.
After finishing the assembling and testing, then it can be put in use.
1.1.4 DC Disconnects
If the external battery cabinet is greater than 50’ from the UPS or the
user has specific safety requirements, an additional DC disconnect may
be required. Please consult Powervar for recommended sizing of this
equipment.
