Istallatio PowerView is coected directly to the UPS through a sigle iterface cable (PN 940-0110) icluded with the PowerView uit. Follow the steps below to coect PowerView to the UPS: 1. Coect the modular RJ45 plug o the ed of the iterface cable to the coector at the rear of PowerView. 2. Check the rear of the UPS to determie whether there is a cable already coected to the 9-pi computer iterface coector. If there is a cable already coected to this coector, shut dow ay UPS moitorig software ruig o the host system, the loose the thumb screws ad remove the existig cable. If there is o cable coected, cotiue with Step 3. 3. Coect the male ed of the 940-0110 cable to the computer iterface coector at the rear of the UPS ad secure it with the thumbscrews. 4. If it was ecessary to remove a cable i Step 2, coect the removed cable to the female coector o the 940-0110 cable ad tighte the thumb screws. If o cable was removed, the uused coector may be left ucoected. PowerView may be mouted to the wall with screws usig features o the back or it may be mouted with the supplied hook ad loop fasteers. A template for moutig PowerView to the wall is supplied at the ed of the maual. PowerView will also sit upright o a flat surface by foldig out the wire bail o the rear of the uit.

Cotrol UPS O/Off Do Self Test UPS verifies proper system operatio by briefly powerig the attached load from battery. Simulate Power Fail causes UPS sigalig port to immediately idicate that the AC lie has failed. This may iitiate a orderly server shutdow sequece if the appropriate cable ad software drivers are used. Graceful Reboot iitiates a orderly server shutdow ad restart sequece if the appropriate cable ad software drivers are used. The sequece is: 1. The UPS sigalig port idicates that the AC lie has failed ad that the UPS battery is low. (Server will quickly begi shutdow if so cofigured.) 2. After the Low Battery Duratio time plus the Shutdow Delay time (user settable parameters i Setup:Shutdow) the UPS will tur off for the Retur Delay time (user settable parameter i Setup:Shutdow) the come back o uless: (1) the iput AC lie voltage is out of tolerace or (2) the battery capacity is below the Retur Battery Capacity (user settable parameter i Setup:Shutdow). Graceful Tur Off same as Graceful Reboot above except that the attached load remais off util tured o by the user via the Cotrol:Tur Load ON commad. Start/Stop Rutime Calibratio causes UPS to ru o battery util the battery(s) is(are) discharged to approximately 25% of capacity. Data recorded durig this time improves the accuracy of the Rutime estimate which the UPS reports i the Status scree. Recommeded testig iterval: oce per moth. UPS ito/out of Bypass (Matrix ad Symmetra oly) Whe bypassed, power to the attached load is beig supplied through the UPS s filterig ad surge suppressio circuits directly. The UPS will ot power the loadfrom the battery i the evet of a power failure. This is geerally used durig maiteace o modular UPSs. 7

Failed battery coditio has deteriorated below a reliable level, the battery should be replaced. Setup Trasfer these first three parameters cotrol whe the UPS switches to battery. Ÿ Low Xfer (Lower trasfer voltage) the output voltage at which the UPS switches trasformer taps or oto battery. Ÿ High Xfer (High trasfer voltage) the output voltage at which the UPS switches trasformer taps or oto battery. (If you otice that the iput voltage is geerally close to oe ed of the lower/upper voltage widow, it may be ecessary, depedig o the load s voltage requiremets, to receter the widow by chagig the lower ad/or upper trasfer voltages) Ÿ Sesitivity sudde, small chages i iput voltage will cause the UPS to briefly ru o battery. (If you otice, or the evet log idicates, that the UPS trasfers to battery frequetly, it may be ecessary, depedig o the load s voltage requiremets, to lower the sesitivity oe step at a time. If the UPS still trasfers frequetly, check the lower/upper trasfer voltage widow described above). Ÿ Output (oly o 220/230/240V UPSs) allows selectio of omial output voltage. 9
Shutdow these parameters affect sigalig via the UPS s iterface port. They are geerally used i the cotext of cotrollig a orderly shutdow of a attached server i the evet of a power failure or a user iitiated Graceful Reboot or Graceful Off. Ÿ Low Battery Duratio legth of time betwee low battery sigallig ad shutdow of power to the attached load. (Set this for log eough to allow the server to perform its shutdow process) Ÿ Shutdow The legth of time betwee a shutdow commad (from the computer to the UPS) ad shutdow of power to the attached load. This is to allow a server time to gracefully complete its shutdow process. Ÿ Retur Delay the miimum legth of time that the UPS will wait before restorig power to the attached load after retur of ormal lie voltage. Note: the UPS may wait loger tha this if the battery capacity is less tha the value of Retur Battery Capacity. Ÿ Retur Battery Capacity The miimum percetage of battery capacity required before power is restored to the attached load after retur of ormal lie voltage. Other Ÿ Self Test The UPS ca be cofigured to perform a selftest automatically at selectable time itervals.

This settig has o effect o the operatio of the UPS. Allowable characters are: 0-9,/, space. Ÿ Exteral Battery Packs i SmartUPS which have exteral batteries (havig XL i the model umber), the user must tell the UPS how may exteral battery packs are attached so that the Rutime estimate will be correct. This is importat ot oly for the displayed rutime estimate but also for the Low Battery Duratio time (advace warig of impedig discharged battery). 10

Replacig the Laguage EPROM PowerView ca be cofigured to display text i a laguage other tha the default Eglish by replacig the uit s laguage EPROM with oe of the alterate laguage EPROMs icluded with the uit. Follow these steps to replace the uit s laguage EPROM: Note: The device beig replaced is static sesitive. Do ot remove it from the protective carrier util you are ready to isert it i the uit. 1. Remove the four (4)Phillips screws o the rear of the uit ad separate the frot half of the case from the rear. 2. Idetify the laguage EPROM. This is a 28-pi itegrated circuit located i a socket ad adjacet to the large 40-pi device. The laguage EPROM will have a white label bearig the ame of the laguage for which it is programmed. Note which ed of the EPROM has the semicircular otch (pi 1); the ew EPROM must be istalled with the same orietatio as the origial. 3. To remove the EPROM, isert a small screwdriver or similar tool betwee the EPROM ad its socket. Getly twist the blade to lift the EPROM from the socket. I order to avoid bet pis, the EPROM should be looseed gradually, oe side at a time, util it is free of its socket. 4. Positio the ew EPROM o its socket with the otch i the same relative positio as the origial. Carefully check that all pis are aliged with the socket. Realig if ecessary. Apply eve pressure with figers to the top of the EPROM util it is fully seated i its socket. 5. Replace the rear cover ad re-istall the four (4) Phillips screws. Figure 5 Locatio of Laguage EPROM 15
