IMPORTANT NOTICE ON BATTERY WARRANTY
The UPM can be used in two different applications:
1. Typical “UPS” Use – used as automatic emergency power
to provide continuous AC power to protect critical systems
from either momentary or extended AC mains power failures
that originate either inside or outside of a building.
2. Portable Power Support – used as a source of AC power to
critical systems on wheeled carts to continue to power a
system while moving from place to place within a building.
NOTE:
• The standard length of the battery warranty (Section 8 of
this manual) is only valid for “Typical UPS” applications.
• In Portable Power Support applications, the length of the
battery warranty is limited to 90 days from the date the
UPM is shipped from AMETEK Powervar.
Difference Explained:
• All batteries loose capacity over time as the internal
materials age.
• When batteries are charged and discharged often, aging
accelerates.
• In Portable Power Support applications where UPMs
are intentionally disconnected and reconnected to AC
mains power several times a day, or week, the useful life
of the battery could be limited to as short as 3-9 months
depending on actual use, and how long the UPM is left
disconnected from AC mains with battery fully or partially
discharged.
Reference the full warranty statement in Section 8, for further
details.

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 for 5 seconds. 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/

16 A01-00055 Rev N
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 or the iSitePRO network
adapter, 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
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.
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

18 A01-00055 Rev N
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.
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.

5.0 MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
A charged battery, disconnected from a UPM or load, can maintain ideal
voltage for approximately six months before recharge is necessary.
A discharged battery needs to be recharged within 72 hours of the
discharge to avoid permanent battery damage. Storing a UPM with the
battery connected can cause permanent battery damage and therefore,
the battery must always be disconnected when storing the UPS.
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 77℉
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. Batteries must be
disconnected when changing cycle is complete and UPM is returned to
storage.
NOTE:
This product is not designed for continuous use on batteries. UPM
should always be plugged in to AC mains voltage when not being
used in battery back-up mode to avoid damaging internal batteries,
resulting in the battery not operating correctly (i.e. overheating or
inability to retain a charge).
The UPM rmware in this unit provides an additional warning and
alarm to help prevent and detect this condition.
1. Battery Connected Warning – helps prevent the UPM from being
stored with the battery connected. This will cause the display to
ash the pattern below and sound the audible alarm indicating to
disconnect the battery. This will occur when:
