Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
This User Guide contains important instructions for your PowerRite XT that must be followed
during installation and operation of the UPS.
The installation and use of this product must comply with all national, federal, state, municipal, or
local codes that apply. For assistance, call the Invensys Service or your local Invensys office.
If the PowerRite XT has been damaged during shipment, call your vendor immediately.
If the PowerRite XT is stored, the batteries should be recharged every 6 months. If stored above 25°
Celsius, recharge the batteries more often.
CAUTION!
Whenever the unit’s On/Off switch is “On,” there may be dangerous voltage present at the unit’s outlets. This
is true because the unit’s battery supplies power even if the unit is not plugged into the wall outlet. The unit
contains dangerous voltages.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, install the unit in a temperature-controlled and humidity-controlled indoor
area free of conductive contaminants. Do not allow liquids or other foreign objects to enter the UPS, or place
them near to it.
The power supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. The socket-outlet must be near the
equipment and must be easily accessible.
All servicing of this equipment must be performed by qualified service personnel.
There are no user servicable parts within this UPS.

UPS Features
The PowerRite XT provides protection against power problems, including power outages,
brownouts, and surges. It also provides spike suppression and line noise filtering to protect your
equipment. Use the drawings below to identify features of the unit.
Start Up
1Your PowerRite XT has a removable power cord. Connect the power cord to the back of the unit.
Plug the UPS into a wall outlet.
2Let 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 PowerRite XT is fully loaded.
3To start the unit, press the On/Off switch (located in the centre of the front panel). When the unit
starts, it will beep and light the front panel LED. The green light should remain on. This indicates
normal operation.
4Switch off the equipment you want to protect with battery backup and plug it into the outlets on the
rear of the PowerRite XT. This equipment will continue to operate from the battery when the input
line fails.
5Switch on the protected equipment, one piece at a time. If the UPS beeps an alarm when you start
your equipment, the UPS may be overloaded. See the Troubleshooting section.
6The PowerRite XT UPS is equipped with D.C. Start. To start the UPS when AC power is not
available, simply press the power switch.

Disclaimers
The warranties and guaranties below, together with Powerware's Two-Year Limited Warranty, are exclu-
sive and in lieu of all other express and implied warranties whatsoever, including but not limited to
implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for particular purpose.
Powerware shall not be subject to any disclaims: 1) Any other obligations or liabilities arising out of
breach of contract or of warranty, 2) Any obligations whatsoever arising from tort claims (including neg-
ligence and strict liability) or arising under other theories of law with respect to products sold by
Powerware, or any undertakings, acts or omissions relating thereto, and 3) All consequential, incidental,
and contingent damages whatsoever.
Extended Five-Year Pro-Rated Warranty and
Computer/Load Protection Guarantee
Applies only to original purchasers for end use in Australia &New Zealand who file the
Warranty Registration Card on line within 30 days of purchase.
In addition to its standard Two-Year Limited Warranty and $50,000 Computer/Load Protection Guarantee
below, Powerware further warrants its UPS will have a service life of five years from the date of ship-
ment from Powerware's factory when used in accordance with the storage, handling, installation, opera-
tion, and
maintenance procedures prescribed in the following section of this warranty and in the Operator's
Manual. "Service life" means the UPS' ability to deliver at least 80% of it original rated backup time.
If Powerware finds that any UPS has not provided the five-year warranted service life, Powerware will,
as its sole obligation and the user's sole remedy for breach of this warranty, repair or replace the unit, at
its option, F.O.B. Powerware Corporation's factory, for a charge pro-rated on the following basis. The
user will be allowed a credit against the list price of equivalent equipment at the time of return to
Powerware, in proportion to the percentage of the warranted service life remaining at the time of return
to Powerware Corporation. (In calculating the available credit, the remaining warranted service life will
be rounded up or down to the nearest whole year.) The user will be responsible to pay the balance of the
list price of equivalent equipment; and Powerware reserves the right to require payment prior to delivery
of the repaired or replacement equipment.
Powerware's complete warranty responsibilities are therefore summarized as follows:
Years 1-2 - Unit Repaired or Replaced Free of Charge
Years 3-5 - Credit ($) = Current List Price X Years of Unexpired Life
5 Years of Warranted Life
