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 panel. 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

15
A01-00055 Rev G
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.
Reference the below UPM fault code chart to identify the status of the UPM.
UPM Status Code Denition
IF Inverter fault
BE Back-Feed fault
HL Unit is off due to a high line
LL Unit is off due to a low line
DB Unit is off due to a low battery
FF Fan fault
SF Site wiring fault
NOTE:
• If the UPM is on continuously, it will perform an auto battery test
every six days.
• If you are utilizing MopUPS Pro software, you can congure the
system to automatically self-test periodically.
• The UPM is shipped with a charged battery, but some discharge
naturally occurs during storage and shipment. You may use the
UPM immediately, but you should realize that backup time may be
less than the stated rating until the UPM battery has had at least
six hours to charge.
• AMETEK-Powervar recommends that you do not plug laser
printers into the UPM. Laser printers are known to draw large
amounts of current when the fuser/heater assembly is energized.
Laser printers can easily overload the UPM or create a low voltage
condition that can interfere with the operation of the Voltage
Manager circuit.

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.

17
A01-00055 Rev G
• 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.
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.

18 A01-00055 Rev G
MopUPS Pro
The AMETEK-Powervar smart communications give you several options
for:
• Protecting data on a computer powered UPM when battery runs low
• Monitoring UPM to allow analysis of site power history and UPM
health.
A DB9 port provides a standard basic-signal interface that works with
legacy and open source UPS monitoring software to trigger automated
computer shutdown on low battery conditions.
The smart USB port links your UPM Series directly in to Windows, Linux
or MAC OS as an HID device -- without need for additional USB device
drivers. Use native OS Power Management utilities for automatic safe
shutdown on low battery.
If you want added functionality including; data and event logging, auto-
run command les before shutdown, access to UPM conguration and
integrated network agent for central monitoring via AMETEK-Powervar
ManageUPS® CIO Server software, download and use AMETEK-
Powervar software MopUPS® Pro (for Window and Linux)
Communication Manager Port
Communication Manager provides a connection point on the rear panel
of the UPM (both DB9 and USB ports). Connecting to this port and
installing MopUPS Pro software package (optional) will allow you control
over important UPM functions and access to operating information from
the UPM. Using software, you can view such parameters as AC input
and output voltage, power line frequency and battery voltage.
To support these functions without the MopUPS Pro software suite, you
will need to either buy or build your own special cable. The following
table describes the pin assignment of the DB9 connector on the rear of
the UPM. Contact your computer supplier to determine the connection

NOTE:
Pin 5 should only be connected to ground.
NOTE:
You may, of course, connect your computer to the UPM without
using software. When power is lost, the UPM will beep and you will
have to manually shut down the computer and UPM.
Start Manager
When AC power is not available, such as in a new installation where
wiring may be incomplete, you can still start the UPM to test its operation
and the operation of your system using Start Manager. With the UPM off,
follow these simple steps:
1. Disconnect the input AC power cable from the AC mains.
2. Ensure that the batteries are connected behind the front panel.
3. Press and hold the On/Off switch on the front panel until the UPM
beeps.
4. The UPM is now running on battery. When you have nished,
press the On/Off switch again. Plug the input AC power cable into
the rear panel of the UPM.

20 A01-00055 Rev G
5.0 MAINTENANCE
Storage
The UPM may be stored for extended periods in an environment that
does not subject the UPM to extremes of temperature or humidity.
When storing for extended periods, the battery should be charged every
six months. If the storage location is characterized by above normal
temperature, the battery should be recharged every two months. The
UPM does not need to be turned on for charging to occur – it only needs
to be plugged in with batteries connected.
NOTE: This product is not designed for continuous use on batteries.
Attention
Important Information
The batteries inside this UPM are a special type called “sealed lead-
acid”. These batteries use a non-liquid electrolyte, which makes it
possible to use them in any physical orientation. The batteries are
designed to last from two to ve years. Their actual life span will depend
on several factors including how often power outages occur, how long
power outages last, and the temperature of the environment in which
the UPM operates. Frequent, long duration power outages will shorten
battery life more than infrequent, short duration outages. Consistent high
temperatures in the area where the UPM is used will also shorten battery
life.
The UPM is equipped with a Low/Replace Battery LED ( ) on the front
panel. If the LED illuminates, you should make sure that the battery has
at least six hours to charge without a power interruption. Inadequate
(much shorter than usual) backup time, premature low battery alarm
sounds, and persistent Low/Replace Battery LED illumination are all
