2.3—Power Flow
In the INTegral Line-Interactive UPS, AC utility power flows through two (2) main loops: the AC loop and the battery
charging loop (Figure 1).
2.3.1—Normal Power Mode
When functioning normally, the system will charge batteries to operate when utility power is unstable. Battery
charging from the utility supply provides a cost-effective means of providing reliable, uninterruptible power and
increasing UPS efficiency—saving you money.
In the AC loop, the power comes from AC utility input such as a wall outlet and passes through a static switch to
support power to the load, so long as power is clean and reliable.
In the battery charging loop (Figure 2), an AC/DC converter changes AC utility input voltage into DC power, which
charges the unit’s batteries.
Figure 1: UPS Power Flow Diagram
Figure 2: Power Flow in Normal Mode

2.3.2—Battery Backup Mode
In Battery Backup Mode, the AC output come from the battery. Battery voltage is boosted and converted to create a
clean, stable AC sine wave to power even the most sensitive equipment.
Power will pass from the battery through the DC/DC converter, DC/AC interver, and static switch to provide output for
the full length of the battery charge.
Actual backup time will vary, depending upon initial battery charge and current load percentage.
Manual Helps
See 6—Specifications for backup time estimates.

2—Receiving and Transporting Systems
Because the UPS supplies power, it must be handled carefully. For better product performance and to avoid injury, follow
the guidelines below.
2.1—Receiving
Inspect the packaging carton and its contents for damage. If the contents have been damaged, notify your reseller
immediately.
After removing the system, keep its packaging in a safe place for future use.
Caution
It would be best not to discard packaging materials, since it is recommended that the unit be
packaged in its original packaging for future shipping and transport.
2.2—Transporting
Disconnect all power cables and power down the unit before moving it.
While moving the unit, handle it carefully. The combined weight of the unit and its batteries can be significant.
It is recommended that the system be transported only in the original packaging.
ELECTRICAL WARNING
Do not transport the unit while power cables are attached. Failure to heed this warning could
cause accidental injury or death from electrical shock.
Cautions
Save the original packaging and use it for transport. Using the correct packaging will prevent
unnecessary harm to the unit.

3—Installing Units
3.1—Selecting an Operating Environment
To avoid damage or accidental injury, place the unit right-side up in a clean, dry location far from environmental
contaminants and heat sources.
Never place this unit:
Upside down or on an incline.
In direct sunlight or weather.
Near any source of natural or artificial heat.
With less than 1” of ventilation space on all sides
with visible ventilation holes.
Avoid locations where the unit:
Could be exposed to flammable gases or
corrosive liquids.
Will be cooler than 32°F (0°C) or hotter than 104°F (50°C).
Will be exposed to clutter or objects that could block ventilation openings.
Cannot ventilate.
Caution
Not following the placing recommendations listed above could lead to system overheating or injury.
3.2—Placing by Configuration Type
Each unit is designed to operate in one of three configurations: exclusively as a tower unit, as a convertible unit (operates
either as a tower or rack mount), or exclusively as a rack mount unit.
Since the letter following this model number is a T, this model is meant to operate exclusively in tower configuration. To
correctly place a tower unit, set it on its vertical bottom end.

3.3—Connecting Units
For product keys showing the socket locations and other interface connection options located on the casing, see 1.1—
Key Features.
1Connect the UPS input to an AC utility source such as a standard wall outlet. Be sure that the outlet has
the appropriate power capacity.
Caution
When connecting to the input, please note the listed current of the utility source.
Ensure that the incoming feeder is isolated and secured to prevent it from being switched
back ON again.
Connect the UPS only to a grounded wall outlet.
2Connect the unit to the device it will be powering by plugging one (1) end of the device’s power cord into
the INTegral output socket.
Note
The output slot connects only to socket-type cords.
3Connect the other end of the device’s power cord into the device to be powered.
Caution
Do not connect domestic appliances (hair dryers, etc.) or office equipment (laser
printers, etc.) to UPS output sockets. Connecting them will overload the system.
4 Connect the monitoring UPQsoft cord to the USB port or install the UPQNet-Agent9 Mini.
After the hardware has been connected to the port, the monitoring software is ready to be connected to a
computer and configured.

INTegral Line-Interactive Uninterruptible Power Supply Unit—2kVA-T Power Innovations 9
Additional Manual
Connect the unit to the computer to monitor it. If UPQsoft or UPQNet-Agent9 has been
ordered, another manual will be included.
ELECTRICAL WARNING
Always be careful while handling the UPS. Batteries in the unit may emit electricity even when
the unit is disconnected.
3.4—Prestart Checklist
The UPS is positioned correctly.
The input cord is secured.
The devices to be powered are OFF.
The rated input voltage from the wall socket falls within the unit’s safe operating range.
Connected cables are placed carefully to prevent stepping/tripping hazards.

4—Operating the Unit
4.1—Operating Cautions
While operating the unit, be sure that it has adequate ventilation space. Be sure the operating area is left free of clutter or
other objects that may block ventilation slots. Do not block off ventilation openings in the casing.
Avoid placing liquids or flammable gases near the unit during operation.
Keep the unit far away from sources of natural or artificial heat, and make sure that the system is not overloaded.
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
Do not expose the UPS to flammable gases or corrosive liquids.
Ensure that no liquids of any kind enter the UPS unit.
Caution
Do not disconnect the main cable or unplug the unit from the wall outlet unless all breakers have
been turned OFF. Doing so will cause the system to switch to backup mode and drain the batteries.
Do not block ventilation openings in the casing.
Keep objects from within four (4) inches on all visible ventilation holes in the UPS. The added space
helps the unit ventilate.
Keep the UPS far away from sources of heat (for example, heaters or direct sunlight).
Keep the load within the correct operating range.

4.5—RS-232 Computer Interface Port
The communication interface (DB9) port on the back of the UPS may be connected to a host computer. The port provides
RS-232 communication for monitoring software.
The UPS communicates with the computer by sending out RS-232 data streams to one (1) of the serial ports. Computer
interfaces can be used to monitor the following:
Input Voltage
Indicates the present input voltage to the UPS unit when
AC power is present.
Output Voltage
Indicates the present output voltage of the UPS.
AC Frequency
Indicates the actual output frequency of the UPS.
Battery Voltage
Indicates the present DC voltage of the UPS battery.
Temperature
Indicates the actual temperature inside the UPS.
To interface with a computer, plug the computer’s DB9 cord into the socket on the back of the UPS. If the other end is
plugged into a computer, the computer will begin monitoring the status of the UPS.
