Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Esprit "UPS"
from MGE. The Esprit "UPS" will provide many
years of, trouble-free power protection for critical
high availability servers and other devices.
Please read this manual fully, to familiarize your-
self with the safety instructions and Esprit fea-
tures.
MGE UPS Systems
MGE, one of the largest UPS manufacturers in
the world, has a power protection solution for
every power problem. Our product range
includes UPSs from 250 VA to over 4.5 MVA in
single and three phase configurations. Other
products include Power Management Software,
DC to AC inverters, line conditioners and isolation
transformers. Contact your sales representative
today for additional information about MGE’s
other fine products.
Why the Need for Uninterruptible
Power?
Servers and other electronic devices do not store
sufficient energy to overcome the power outages
and short interruptions that occur on a daily basis.
Any interruption of the utility power may stop the
operation of a computer and cause loss of data,
potential hardware damage, and inconvenience.
A "UPS" is an uninterruptible power supply. The
UPS has an internal battery to provide power
back-up if the utility power is lost or a short outage
occurs. In addition, the Esprit UPS provides surge
protection from indirect lightning strikes, power
surges and short high voltage transients (spikes)
created by machinery or other common equip-
ment.
Theory of Operation
Esprit normally operates in the bypass mode.
Surge suppression and filtering are also provided
in this mode.
The UPS instantly transfers the load to the battery
when a power failure occurs. If the power returns
before the battery is exhausted, the operation
returns to normal and the battery is recharged.
The Esprit UPS is comprised of three major
systems: the inverter, the battery/battery charger
and the bypass.
All logic and supervision in the UPS is provided by
a state-of-the-art micro-controller.
Inverter
The inverter is the heart of the UPS and inverts
direct current (DC) from the battery into
alternating current (AC) at 120, 208 or 240 volts.
The DC voltage from the batteries is converted
into a pseudo-sine wave by a pulse width modu-
lated (PWM) inverter. This unique MGE technique,
eliminates all bulky 60 HZ components, reduces
heat, and greatly enhances reliability.
Battery
The battery provides the energy source for back-up
when a power failure occurs. The battery is a
recombinant, sealed, lead acid-type battery which
provides the high current required for UPS use
and long life. It requires no addition of water during
its life.
Battery Charger
The battery charger maintains the battery. The
battery charger converts 120 volt AC utility power
to filtered and regulated DC current specific for
battery charging.
Bypass
The bypass is the electro-mechanical hardware
providing a transfer to or from the inverter. This is
done rapidly and synchronized to the utility power
sine wave in order to provide continuity to the critical
device and not cause a re-boot.

3. Installation
3A. Storing the UPS and Recharging the Battery
Always store the equipment in its original packaging.
The battery is of the sealed lead-acid type. Battery recharge requires that the battery module be
plugged into an energized NEMA 5-15 receptacle for 6-8 hours. The battery may be charged in the
box by pulling the charger cord out of the box through the knockout hole in the back of the box.
Battery storage or prolonged shutdown should never exceed 6 months or 68°F (20°C), for a
battery initially at 100% charge. The battery warranty is void if the 6 month recharge interval
is not adhered to.
3B. Unpacking the UPS
It is recommended that the equipment be unpacked in an area close to its installation location.
Caution:
The battery module weighs 80 pounds. Two people are required to lift the unit.
Remove the Solution-Pac CD, RS232 cable, and USB cable from the box and set aside for later
use. Fold the box flaps outward. Gently rotate the box on its side and slide the unit out of the box.
Gently rotate the unit upright and then remove the packing material. Save packaging for future ship-
ment of UPS to MGE for recycling.
3C. Placement of the UPS
Choose a location out of direct sunlight with adequate ventilation. The operating ambient tempera-
ture range is 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). Temperatures above 77°F (25°C) should be avoided as bat-
tery life is reduced.
Ensure that there is clearance around the intake vents in the front of the enclosure and that the
bottom-rear is unobstructed. Six inches of clearance at the rear of the unit is required. Units may
be placed side by side with zero clearance.
Stacking
The modules are designed to interlock for stacking. It is recommended that the battery modules
be placed below the UPS module for greater stability and easier access to controls. See
Figure 3b.
Caution: Do not stack over three units. To do so may cause instability and result in injury.

Rack Mounting
Rack kits are available for optional rack mounting. Instructions for their use are included in the rack
kit. See Figure 3b.
Figure 3a. Stacked UPS and Figure 3b. UPS Modules Rack Mounted
Battery Modules with Rack Kit
(three 4.5s shown free-standing) (three 4.5s shown in rack)
3E. Optional Accessories
The following accessories are available for use with your equipment. Refer to each accessories'
manual for full installation, operation and maintenance instructions.
◗Additional batteries (no additional manual necessary)
◗Maintenance Bypass/Power Distribution Unit
◗Multi-slot Communication Interface
◗Rack Kit

3F. Connecting the Battery
Plug the DC battery cable into the UPS module as shown in Figure 3c. The cable plug is keyed,
so make sure to align the plug properly to the receptacle. Do not force the cable on, nor attempt to
reverse the connection. To do so, will damage the equipment and void the warranty.
Figure 3c. Connecting DC Battery to UPS Module
3G. Disconnecting the Battery to Take Out of Service
Turn off the UPS module by depressing the “Off” red button if the “inverter on” or "utility power
present" (bottom LED) is lit. Proceed to the next step. Unplug the AC line cord for the battery
module. Unplug the DC battery cord. Remove the battery module.
3H. Connecting to the Communication Ports
If you plan to utilize Solution-Pac HID ("human interface device" protocol), read the Solution-Pac
HID manual on the Solution-Pac CD for a full description of its features.
To connect to your computer, you will need the RS232 serial port or a USB (Universal Serial Bus)
port. The connection will be made between your computer’s serial or USB port and the serial or
USB port on the rear of the UPS module as shown in Figure 3e. Cables are supplied for this purpose.
A slide switch is provided for either RS232 or USB communication. The slide switch (shown in
Figure 3e) is preset for RS232. Push the switch down for USB communication.
If communication does not operate, check the position of the slide switch.

The RS232 port also contains two low voltage (24 VDC)/low current (5MA) contact closures. See
Figure 3d below. To use these an optional cable is available. These can be used by AS/400
computers or for special uses.

7. ALARM - Contact closure through a transistor
from pin 7 to pin 5 when "low battery".
8. RPO - A logic high will activate an output shutdown.
9. INVO - Contact closure through a transistor from
pin 9 to pin 5 when the unit is on Inverter.
The transistor resistance is 27 ohms and the maximum current allowed is 140mA AC or DC with
ambient temperature of up to 40°C.
In order to get a "logic low" you have to limit the current to: logic low voltage required divided
by 27, logic low voltage = 0.5V. I max = 0.5/27=0.0185A=18mA.
If you intend to use other forms of communication, an optional Multi-slot Communication is available
that will convert the RS232 serial commands into the following formats:
◗Ethernet, SNMP ◗J-Bus/RS422 ◗High voltage/current relay contacts

3I. Connecting the UPS to the Utility
Plug theAC line cord of the UPS module into anAC 2-pole, 3-wire grounded receptacle for models 1.4,
3.1 and 4.5; a 3-pole, 4-wire grounded receptacle for models 6 and 9; or a 4 pole, and hardwired
5 wire grounded service for model 13.5. There should be no other loads on this branch circuit. To
do so may result in a circuit overload. Refer to National Electrical Code (NEC) specifications for
requirements in your area or ask your electrician.

3.1 L5-30 30
4.5 5-50 50
6 L14-30 30
9 14-50 50
13.5 see below
Plug the AC line cord of the battery module into a NEMA 5-15 receptacle as shown in Figure 3f.
The battery charger in each battery module utilizes less than 2 amps so multiple units may be tied
into the same branch circuit. Make sure that the total branch load is not over 80% of the branch
circuit rating. If no other loads are on the branch circuit, up to 6 battery modules may be used on
the same circuit. Refer to NEC specifications for requirements in your area or ask your electrician.
The Model 13.5 requires the use of the MGE input "Phase Leveling Apparatus" or PLA to distribute
3 phase power to three 4.5 UPSs. See figure 3g. Athree phase L1, L2, L3, N, G, 50 amp branch
is required to be hardwired to the input PLA in accordance with National Electrical Codes.

3J. Connecting the Loads
Utilize the receptacles on the rear of the UPS module to connect your critical loads. If you need
more, you may want to consider the addition of MGE's distribution extension.
Caution: Never plug a surge suppressor into the output of a UPS. Most UPSs do not
produce the proper output wave shape for surge suppressor use. Improper use and
resultant damage is not covered by warranty.
