2. Installation
2.6 Connections
Check that the indications on the rating plate on the back of the PS correspond to your AC-power system and to
the actual electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the PS.
1 - Remove the power cord supplying the
equipment to be protected.
2 - Pulsar EXtreme 2200C: connect the
power cord (1) just removed from the
equipment to the AC-power socket 7 and
then to the AC-power wall outlet.
- Pulsar EXtreme 3200C: connect the
supplied power cord 28 (250 V, 16 A) to the
AC-power socket 7 and then to the AC-
power wall outlet.
3 - Connect the protected equipment to the
UPS using the two cords 29 . It is advised to
connect priority loads to the four outlets 4
and any non-priority loads to the two
programmable outlets 5 (If the UPS is
connected to a computer running GE UPS
SYSTE S communications software, it is
possible to program the interruption of power
to the two programmable outlets 5 during
operation on battery power, thus reserving
backup power for the priority loads).
4 - Lock the connections using the securing
system 33 .
As soon as the UPS is energised,
the battery begins charging. Eight
hours are required to charge to the
full rated backup time.
(1) ake sure the cord has the following
characteristics: 250 V, 10 A, cross-sectional
area 1 mm2, type HO5.

The protected equipment connected to the UPS can be energised, whether AC input power is available or not.
3. Operation
3. Start-up
Caution: the AC input power source must be present when energising
for the first time.
Press the ON / OFF button 16 .
The buzzer beeps and all the LEDs go ON.
The buzzer beeps twice, then:
◗ If AC input power is available, LED 18 goes ON, indicating operation
in ON-LINE mode.
◗ If AC input power is not available and the UPS is configured for
automatic restart mode, the buzzer beeps three times and LED 17 goes
ON, signalling operation on battery power.
All connected equipment is energised.
If LEDs 17 or 18 do not go ON or if LEDs 25 to 27 flash, there is a
fault (see section 4.1).
3.2 Bargraph indications
LEDs 24 to 27 provide three
different indications:
1 - Remaining backup time in percent
(during normal operation).
2 - Percent load drawn by the protected
equipment, when button 23 is pressed.
3 - Operating faults (flashing LED and
beeps):
27 Overload.
26 UPS fault.
25 Battery fault or end-of-life warning.
Status LEDs 20 and 21 for programmable outlets 1 and 2:
◗ LEDs OFF: the outlets are not supplied with power.
◗ LEDs flashing: status change in progress.
◗ LEDs ON: the outlets are supplied with power.
Outlets 1 and 2 can be remotely programmed and controlled. They may
be used for sequential start-up of the protected applications, shedding of
non-priority applications during operation on battery power, and priority
management at the end of battery backup time to reserve the longest
possible backup time for the most sensitive applications. These outlets
are programmed using Solution Pac software.

3. Operation
3.3 Operation on battery power (following failure of C input power)
Transfer to battery power
The AC-power source is outside tolerances, LED 17 is ON, the buzzer
beeps three times.
The equipment connected to the PS is supplied by the battery.
Threshold for the low-battery warning
The low-battery warning threshold can be set by the user, with the PS
Driver software (see section 3.4).
LED 17 flashes.
The buzzer beeps every three seconds.
There is very little remaining battery backup time. Close all
applications because PS automatic shutdown is imminent.
End of backup time
The buzzer sounds continuously.
Press button 22 to turn the buzzer OFF.
The equipment is no longer supplied with power.
The UPS goes to sleep mode at the end of the battery backup time until complete shutdown due to tripping of the battery-
protection function against deep discharge.
Return of AC input power:
If, in spite of the return of AC input power, the PS does not restart, check that the automatic-restart function
(activated by return of AC input power) has not been disabled (see section 3.4).

3. Operation
3.6 UPS remote power off
Pulsar EXtreme C is equipped with a remote power off function (RPO) that can cut power to all the devices connected to
the UPS using a remote user-operated contact.
The function is implemented by opening a contact connected to the two terminals of connector 12 on the back of the UPS.
Installation and test of the remote power off function
1 - Check that the UPS is shut off and disconnected to the AC-power source.
2 - Remove the RPO connector 12 by undoing the screws 37 .
3 - Connect an insulated dry contact (NC, 60 V DC, 30 V AC max., 20 mA max., cable size 0.75 mm2) to the two terminals
of the RPO connector 38 .
4 - Put the RPO connector 12 back in place on the back of the UPS.
5 - Connect the UPS to the AC-power source and restart it as indicated previously.
6 - Activate the RPO external contact to test the function.
7 - To return to normal operation, deactivate the RPO external contact and restart the UPS using button 16 (press OFF,
then ON).

reversal.
Correction
Check the power drawn by the
equipment and disconnect any non-
priority devices.
◗ Check that the battery connector is
fully pushed in.
◗ Replace battery module (see the
aintenance section).
◗ Reset the alarm by pressing
buttons 22 and 23 simultaneously
for 3 seconds.
◗ It is advised to replace the battery.
See the section on maintenance.
Directly earthed neutral type
networks: to correct cabling, unplug
and turn the network socket, of the
DIN-SCHUKO type, by 180 degrees
