CHAPTER 1
POWERWARE 5115 – ONE OF THE BEST!
The Powerware
R
5115 uninterruptible power system (UPS) protects
your sensitive electronic equipment from basic power problems such as
power failures, power sags, power surges, brownouts, and line noise.
Power outages can occur when you least expect it and power quality can
be erratic. These power problems have the potential to corrupt critical
data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and damage hardware — causing
hours of lost productivity and expensive repairs.
With the Powerware 5115, you can safely eliminate the effects of power
disturbances and guard the integrity of your equipment. The Powerware
5115’s flexibility to handle an array of network devices makes it the
perfect choice to protect your LANs, servers, workstations, and other
electrical equipment.

Because an integral part of power protection is power management
software, the Powerware 5115 comes fully equipped with a
communication port, serial cable, and a CD containing both LanSafe III
for networked systems and FailSafe III for standalone systems.
Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the Powerware 5115’s
unique benefits include the following:
S Advanced Battery Management (ABM t ) doubles battery service life,
optimizes recharge time, and provides advanced warning before the
end of battery life.
S Buck and Boost voltage regulation ensures consistent voltage to your
load by correcting voltage fluctuations.
S Hot-swappable batteries simplify maintenance by allowing you to
replace batteries safely without powering down the criticalload.
S Network Transient Protector guards your modem, fax machine, and
other network communications equipment from surges.
S Start-on-battery capability allows you to power up the UPS even if
utility power is not available.
S The Powerware 5115 is backed by worldwide agency approvals.

WARNING
S ThisUPScontainsitsown energysource (batteries).The output receptacles may
carrylive voltage even when the UPSisnot connected to an AC supply.
S Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPSisturned on. This removes
the safetyground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.
S To reduce the risk of fire orelectric shock, installthisUPS in a temperature and
humiditycontrolled,indoorenvironment,freeofconductivecontaminants.Ambient
temperaturemustnotexceed40°C(104°F).Donotoperatenearwaterorexcessive
humidity (95% max).
S To complywith internationalstandards, the sum ofearth leakage current fromthe
load connected to the UPS must not exceed 1.5 mA.
Installing the UPS
The following steps explain how to install the UPS. Figure 2 shows a
typical installation only. See “UPS Rear Panels” on page 6 for the rear
panel of each model.
1. If you are installing power management software, connect your
computer to the UPS communication port using the supplied
communication cable.
NOTE If you need to change the factory-set defaultsfor the output voltage or input
voltage range, see “Voltage Configuration”on page 13 before installing the UPS.
2. On 230V models, plug the power cord into the input connector
on the UPS rear panel.
Customer-supplied power cords must be correctly rated for the
UPS (see “Specifications” on page 23). You can also use the
powercordfromthelargestloadifitiscorrectlyrated.
