1Introduction
This UPS protects your sensitive electronic equipment from most common power problems, including
power failures, power sags, power surges, brownouts, line noise, high voltage spikes, frequency
variations, switching transients, and harmonic distortion.
Power outages might occur unexpectedly and power quality can be erratic. These power problems
have potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and damage hardware —
causing hours of lost productivity and expensive repairs.
With the UPS, you can safely eliminate the effects of power disturbances and guard the integrity of
your equipment. Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the UPS's unique benefits
include:
True online double-conversion technology with high power density, utility frequency
independence, and generator compatibility. Output power factor up to 0.9.
Three segment charging mode to increase battery service life, optimize recharge time.
Selectable High Efficiency mode of operation.
Cold start function to startup the UPS without utility.
Standard communication options: one RS-232 communication port, one USB communication
port, and relay output contacts or SNMP card.
Power Shedding function may turn off uncritical load in battery backup to make longer backup
time for critical load.
Extended runtime with up to four Extended Battery Modules (EBPs) per UPS.
Emergency shutdown control through the Remote Emergency Power-off (EPO) port.
The content displayed on the interface is rich. The capacity of the loads and the battery can be
seen directly and the FLASH pictures and fan rotating icon can be displayed while charging.
Enhance, it is easy to know its operation status. When UPS fails, it can show the fault code;
therefore, the UPS can be repaired as soon as possible by inquiring fault code table.
NOTICE: In the manual, RT is short for Rack-Tower conversion
Rack/Tower convertible LCD design. No matter what angle required, only pressing the key slightly
to reach your perspective needs.
For RT model, it is equipped with hot swappable battery feature needed for 19”rack solution.
RT models in a space-optimizing 2U size fits any standard 19”rack.

2Safety Warnings
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.
DANGER
The UPS contains LETHAL VOLTAGES. All repairs and service should be performed
by AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. There are NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS inside the UPS.
WARNING
The UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The UPS output may carry
live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install the 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 (90% maximum).
To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with branch circuit
overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC),
ANSI/NFPA 70.
Output overcurrent protection and disconnect switch must be provided by
others.
To comply with international standards and wiring regulations, the sum of the
leakage current of the UPS and the total equipment connected to the output of
the UPS must not have an earth leakage current greater than 3.5 milliamperes.
If installing optional rackmount EBP(s), install the EBP(s) directly below the UPS
so that all wiring between the cabinets is installed behind the front covers and is
inaccessible to users. The maximum number of EBP(s) per UPS is four.
If the UPS requires any type of transportation, verify that the UPS is unplugged
and turned off and then disconnect the UPS internal battery connector.
CAUTION
Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short-circuit
current. Observe proper precautions. Servicing should be performed by
qualified service personnel knowledgeable of batteries and required
precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements.
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to
flame.

UPS Initial Startup
To start up the UPS:
NOTE Verify that the total equipment ratings do not exceed the UPS capacity to
prevent an overload alarm.
1. If optional EBPs are installed, verify that the EBPs are connected to the UPS.
2. Plug the equipment to be protected into the UPS, but do not turn on the
protected equipment.
3. Make any necessary provisions for cord retention and strain relief.
4. Plug the detachable UPS power cord into the input connector on the UPS rear
cover.
5. Plug the UPS power cord into a power outlet. The UPS front cover display
illuminates.
6. The ＵＰＳ will do self-test when power on. After that, the charger will charge
the battery. If the output displayed on LCD is “0”, there is no output. If you
need the UPS output the utility without starting the UPS when plug into the
utility，you need to set bPS option to “ON”on the setting mode, refer to
Page 26.
7. Press the combination start up buttons on the UPS front cover for at least half a
second. The UPS will start up and the LED will turn on and off sequentially.
8. Check the UPS front cover display for active alarms or notices. Resolve any active
alarms before continuing. See Troubleshooting” on page 49. If the
indicator is on, do not proceed until all alarms are clear. Check the UPS
status from the front cover to view the active alarms. Correct the alarms and
restart if necessary.

SPIRIT G XL 1-3KVA PF.09 - UPS www.visionups.com

9. Verify that the indicator illuminates solid, indicating that the UPS is
operating normally and any loads are powered.
10. If optional EBPs are installed, see “Configuring Battery settings”on page 28
to set the number of installed EBPs.
11. To change any other factory-set defaults, see “User settings” on page 25.
NOTE : At initial startup, the UPS sets system frequency according to input line
frequency (input frequency auto-sensing is enabled by default).
NOTE : At initial startup，please set the output voltage needed before start up the
UPS，After the subsequent startup，the UPS will output the setting voltage.
12. If you installed an optional EPO, test the EPO function: Activate the external
EPO switch. Verify the status change on the UPS display. Deactivate the
external EPO switch and restart the UPS.
NOTE ：The internal batteries charge to 80% capacity in less than 5 hours. However,
we recommend that the batteries should be charged for 48 hours after installation
or long-term storage. If optional EBPs are installed, see the recharge times listed in
Table 21 on page 48.
