1.6 Battery extension
Pulsar MX Frame offers a standard backup time of 5 minutes at full load.
To increase backup time up to 62 minutes (at full load), it is possible to connect Pulsar MX EXB RT modules to the UPSs.
Battery extensions for Pulsar MX Frame
Pulsar MX EXB RT (optional battery module)
Battery Integration System
Battery extension cable (1,8 m / 6 ft)
This extended battery cable will be used instead of the standard battery cable when battery modules are distant from each
other (located in two different enclosures, for instance).
(1) Connectors for automatic detection of
battery module(s)
(2) Battery circuit breaker
(3) Connectors for battery modules (to the
UPS or to the other battery modules)
The Battery Integration System is intended
for extended backup time configurations to
conveniently stack and secure up to 8
modules on the same cart (swivel wheels with
brakes, leveling feet, seismic side panels,
plates to lock modules and screws included).

2.3 Mounting sub-modules
A dangerous voltage is present inside the power module and the battery module. Any operations to be carried out
on these modules must be done by qualified staff.
You must mount the modules from the lowest level to the highest level.
All the sub-modules must be mounted.
Always keep 150 mm free space behind
the UPS rear panel.
1 - Remove the 6 fixing screws to free the
front panel as shown.
Modules must be mounted from the
lowest level (1) to the highest level (4).
2 - Remove the 4 fixing screws of the
mounting screws to free the power sub-
module space.
Repeat the operation 2 for the battery sub-
module space.
3 - Insert the power sub-module and attach
the 4 mounting screws on each side of the
power sub-module
Caution! the battery is heavy:
approx. 30 kg/65 lbs
4 - Insert the battery sub-module and attach
the 4 mounting screws on each side of the
battery sub-module.
5 - Reattach the front panel
◗Caution: a battery can cause electrocution and high short circuit currents.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The battery may explode
Do no open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.

2.4 Communication ports
Pulsar MX RT provides 3 communication methods that can be used simultaneously:
◗2 COM ports provide RS232 or USB communications using MGE UPS SYSTEMS SHUT protocol. Compatible with most
power management software applications available into the enclosed Solution Pac CD-Rom. Please, note that both ports
cannot be used at the same time.
◗The output contact port is used for basic signaling or for protection of IT systems like IBM iSeries (formerly AS400) and more.
◗The two slots are compatible with any MGE UPS SYSTEMS communication card (check www.mgeups.com web site for
the complete list of compatible cards).
Connection to the RS 232 communication port
Connection to the communication port by relays
1 - Connect the RS232 (1) communications
cable to the serial port on the computer
equipment.
2 - Connect the other end of the
communication cable (1) to the RS232 (2)
communications port on the UPS.
The UPS can now communicate with various
MGE UPS SYSTEMS power management
application software. Please note that the
configuration software is included with
Personal Solution Pac for Windows.
(1) Communication port by relay
◗Pin 1: major alarm
◗Pin 2: battery fault
◗Pin 3: remote shutdown from external power (5 to 27 V DC/10 mA max).
◗Pin 4: normal operation, not on battery, contact ( 48 V DC/2 A max)
◗Pin 5: common
◗Pin 6: operation on bypass,
◗Pin 7: low battery warning
◗Pin 8: load powered
◗Pin 9: operation on battery
When the status is active, the contact between the common (Pin 5) and the relevant information pin is closed.

Installation of communication card
Remote Power Off communication port
It is not necessary to shutdown the UPS
before installing a communications card.
1 - Remove the slot cover (1) secured by two
screws.
2 - Insert the communication card (2) in the
slot.
3 - Secure the card with both screws.
(1) Remote Power Off communication port (RPO).
Installation of a Remote Power Off function must be carried out in compliance with applicable regulations.
In order to fully de-energize devices and Pulsar MX Frame with the RPO port, it is necessary:
◗to use a two-position switch (Normally Open or Closed contact should be held more than 1 second to be taken into account).
◗to connect to this RPO switch a device that allows to trip all breaker(s) located upstream(1) and downstream(2) Pulsar MX
RT. This can be achieved by means of a shunt trip.
(1) : If not, the output devices could be powered again through static switch when the two-position switch is released.
(2) : If not, the output devices will remain powered several seconds after the RPO activation.
Please, notice that the internal batteries will remain connected to the power sub-module after RPO activation.
The cable is not included.
Remote power off contact normally open Remote power off contact normally closed
◗Signal:
- activation voltage: 5 V DC to 27 V DC.
