CHARGING THE BATTERY
The SmartSine UPS will charge the internal batteries whenever the UPS is
connected to an AC source. It is recommended that the UPS's batteries be
charged for a minimum of 4 hours before use. The UPS may be used
immediately, however, the “ON Battery” runtime may be less than normally
expected.
CAUTION! If the UPS indicates a Site Wiring Fault, have a Qualified
Electrician correct the problem.
Connecting to the telephone/network surge protection connection is
optional. The UPS works properly without a connection. NOTE:
Connecting to the Communications Port is optional. The UPS works
properly without a connection. NOTE:
CHECKING THE SITE WIRING FAULT
After plugging in the UPS, check the Site Wiring Fault (SWF) LED on the front
panel of the UPS. If the LED is illuminated, the UPS is plugged into an
improperly wired AC outlet.
COMMUNICATIONS PORT CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)
MINUTEMAN Power Management software and interface cables kits can be
used with the SmartSine UPS. Use only MINUTEMAN or MINUTEMAN
approved interface cables with these UPSs. Connect the interface cable to the
9 pin communications port on the rear panel of the UPS. Secure the connector
to the UPS via the screws on the connector housing. Connect the other end of
the cable to the device that will be monitoring/controlling the UPS.
TELEPHONE/NETWORK SURGE PROTECTION CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)
Connect a single line telephone or a 10 Base-T network line to the protection
sockets on the rear panel of the UPS. This connection will require another
length of telephone or network cable. The cable coming from the telephone
service or networked system is connected to the port marked “IN”.
The equipment to be protected is connected to the port marked "OUT".
CONNECTING THE UPS TO AN AC SOURCE
Plug the UPS into a two pole, three wire, grounded receptacle only. Do not use
extension cords, adapter plugs, power strips or surge strips.
NOTE: If the UPS is going to be out of service or stored for a prolonged period
of time, the batteries must be recharged for at least twenty-four hours
every ninety days.
