INSTALLATION
This section explains:
SEquipment inspection
SSafety precautions
SUPS installation
SUPS top and side panels
Inspecting the Equipment
If any equipment has been damaged during shipment, keep the shipping
cartons and packing materials for the carrier or place of purchase and
file a claim for shipping damage. If you discover damage after
acceptance, file a claim for concealed damage.
To file a claim for shipping damage or concealed damage: 1) File with
the carrier within 15 days of receipt of the equipment; 2) Send a copy of
the damage claim within 15 days to your service representative.
Safety Precautions
Read the following precautions before you install the UPS.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions that you
should follow during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Please
read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for future
reference.
WARNING
SThis UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may
carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
SDo not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes
the safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.

Installation
2Powerware®3110 User’s Guide SRev B www.powerware.com
STo reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and
humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient
temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). Do not operate near water or
excessive humidity (95% max).
SWith the exception of the user-replaceable battery, all servicing of this equipment
must be performed by qualified service personnel.
SBefore maintenance or repair, all connections must be removed. Before
maintenance, repair, or shipment, the unit must be completely switched off and
unplugged or disconnected.
CAUTION
SImportant Notice The UPS ground (earth) conductor carries leakage current from
the loads in addition to any leakage current generated by the UPS. This UPS
generates no more than 0.5 mA of current (120V model), or 1 mA of current (230V
model).
STo limit the total leakage current to 3.5 mA, the load leakage must be limited to
3 mA on the 120V model and 2.5 mA on the 230V model.
SIf you do not know the load leakage current, replace the UPS power cord (230V
model only) with a power cord that uses a locking plug with a minimum rating of
10A (such as IEC 309).
SIf you do not have a matching receptacle, consult an electrician to install the
proper receptacle.
SThe three-wire receptacle that you plug the UPS into must have a good
(low-impedance) ground (protective earth) connection to provide a safe path for
leakage current.
Quick Startup
The PowerwareR3110 provides protection against many power
problems, including power outages. It also provides spike suppression
and line noise filtering to protect your equipment.
1. On 230V models, plug the UPS power cord into the input
connector on the UPS side panel.
2. Plug the equipment to be protected into the UPS output
receptacles.
DO NOT protect laser printers with the UPS because of the
exceptionally high power requirements of the heating elements.

Installation
3
Powerware®3110 User’s Guide SRev B www.powerware.com
3. Start the UPS by pressing the switch as shown in Figure 2
or Figure 4 on page 4. The µindicator illuminates indicating
that power is available from the UPS output receptacles.
The unit beeps and the front panel LEDs illuminate several
times. The µindicator remains on, indicating normal
operation.
If the unit continues to beep, or if the µindicator is off even
though input power is available from the wall outlet, see
“Troubleshooting” on page 15.
NOTE Let the unit charge the battery for at least 3 hours. You may use the unit while
the battery charges, but the battery backup runtime will be reduced until the battery is
fully charged. This will take up to 8 hours after a full discharge while the UPS is fully
loaded.

FEATURES
This section covers:
SUsing the USB or DB-9 communication port
SStarting the UPS on battery
Communication Options
The UPS is equipped with a USB and a DB-9 communication port. Either
the USB port or the DB-9 communication port may be used to monitor
the UPS; however, they cannot operate simultaneously.
USB Port
The UPS can communicate with a USB-compliant computer using
LanSafe Power Management Software (v4.15 or higher).
To establish communication between the UPS and a computer:
1. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the UPS rear panel.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on your
computer.
2. Install the LanSafe software and USB drivers according to the
instructions provided with the Powerware Software Suite CD.

Features
6Powerware®3110 User’s Guide SRev B www.powerware.com
DB-9 Communication Port
Powerware offers an accessory interface kit that allows you to connect
many types of computer systems to the UPS communication port. For
specific information on Powerware interface kits, call your service
representative.
Contacts consist of open collector circuits capable of switching up to
+30 Vdc, 6 mA resistive load.
Table 1. Communication Port Pin Assignment
Pin Signal Type Function
1RS-232 Level Shutdown +12 Vdc signal held for 5 seconds on this pin shuts the UPS down
120 seconds later. The UPS restarts after 15 seconds when utility
power returns.

Powerware®3110 User’s Guide SRev B www.powerware.com
Battery Start Feature
The Battery Start feature allows you to turn on the UPS when utility
power is not available. The battery-start range is up to about 40% of
nominal input; otherwise, the UPS displays an input voltage fault and
the alarm beeps.
RJ-11 or RJ-45 Surge Protectors
The RJ-11 or RJ-45 surge protectors are located on the side panel and
are labeled IN and OUT. This feature accommodates an RJ-11 connector
that provides protection for modems, fax machines, or other
telecommunications equipment. As with most modem equipment, it is
not advisable to use this jack in digital PBX (Private Branch Exchange)
environments.
Low voltage models can also accommodate a single RJ-45 (10BaseT)
network connector.
NOTE DO NOT connect any network equipment to the 230V models; only telephone or
fax/modem protection is available for 230V models.
1. Connect the input connector of the equipment you are
protecting to the jack labeled IN.
2. Connect the output connector to the jack labeled OUT.

UPS MAINTENANCE
This section explains how to:
SCare for the UPS and batteries
SReplace the batteries
SRecycle used batteries
UPS and Battery Care
For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS
clean and dust-free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of
the system with a vacuum cleaner.
For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of
25°C(77°F).
Storing the UPS
If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every
6 months by plugging the UPS into a power outlet.
Replacing Batteries
Before replacing the battery, make sure that you read the safety
information below.
WARNING
SBatteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit
current. The following precautions should be observed: 1) Remove watches, rings,
or other metal objects; 2) Use tools with insulated handles; 3) Do not lay tools or
metal parts on top of batteries.
SELECTRIC ENERGY HAZARD. Do not attempt to alter any battery wiring or
connectors. Attempting to alter wiring can cause injury.
SReplace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally
installed in the UPS.
SDO NOT DISCONNECT the batteries while the UPS is in Battery mode.

UPS Maintenance
10 Powerware®3110 User’s Guide SRev B www.powerware.com
CAUTION
The 230V models require replacement by qualified service personnel.
1. Contact your service representative to order a replacement
battery. It must be the same type and rating as the original
battery (see Table 3 on page 14).
2. Switch off and unplug the protected equipment from the UPS.
3. Turn off the UPS and disconnect the power cord.
4. Turn the UPS upside down.

What to DoPossible CauseAlarm or Condition
1 beep every half second.
Power requirements exceed the
UPS capacity. Remove some of the equipment from the UPS. You may need to obtain a larger capacity UPS.
Output short circuit. Turn off or unplug the equipment connected to the UPS.
Input voltage is out of range
when the UPS is turned on. Turn off the UPS until acceptable input voltage restored.
Continuous beep. UPS fault. Contact your service representative.
