Controls and Features

UPS Controls

The UPS has three primary control areas as described in the following paragraphs.

Control Panel

The

Control Panel on the front of the UPS (see Figure 22) contains the operator

controls to start and stop the UPS and change the operating mode. The Control

Panel is described in

Using the Operating Controls section of Chapter 10.

Monitor Panel

The

Monitor Panel on the front of the UPS (see Figure 22) contains an LCD screen

to display the current status of the UPS. You can view a statistical history and log

of UPS events and display a real-time graphic representation of power flowing

through the UPS components. Backlit status indicators show the operating mode

of the UPS and alert you to system events.

Maintenance Bypass

Maintenance Bypass (MBP) Circuit Breaker

This breaker is normally open. When closed, it feeds utility power to the critical load

when the MIS breaker is opened.

Maintenance Isolation (MIS) Circuit Breaker

This circuit breaker is normally closed, feeding UPS power to the critical load. This

breaker is opened to isolate the UPS after the MBP breaker is closed.

Maintenance Bypass (MBP) Circuit Breaker

This circuit breaker is normally closed feeding bypass power to the UPS internal

bypass circuit. This breaker is opened to isolate the UPS bypass after the load is

transferred to maintenance bypass.

UPS Standard Features

The UPS has many standard features that provide cost-effective and consistently

reliable power protection:

Communication Panel

Computer Interface

One combination RS---232/RS---485

serial communication port is standard on all units,

and is electrically isolated from the UPS. An additional RS---232

serial communication

port is available (as an option), and is also electrically isolated from the UPS.

Summary Alarm Contacts

Alarm contacts are provided for connection to equipment at your facility, such as a

light, an audible alarm, or a computer terminal. The equipment you connect to these

contacts alerts you to a UPS alarm.

Input Filter

Your unit may be equipped with an

input filter. An input filter yields power factor

correction that allows you to save on your initial installation and operating costs.

The filter also reduces input harmonic current distortion and minimizes upstream

interference that can damage sensitive hardware components.
