3. INSTALLATION
1. Connect a dedicated ground wire from the GROUND lug on the back of
the CFR to an electrical ground point (i.e., wall receptacle gound or a
copper water pipe). The wire size must be at least 12 AWG (3mm
2 ).
NOTE: Most electrical codes require this type of ground connection in
case the AC line power cord is disconnected from the wall. Always
consult your local electrical code to ensure prescribed grounding
practices.
2. Connect the CFR's AC power cord to the wall receptacle.
3. If using an external battery pack, plug its connector into the rear panel of
the UPS (see section 3.3).
4. Start and test the UPS without the load connected (see section 4.1).
After testing, switch the unit OFF before connecting the load.
5. Plug the equipment to be protected into the UPS rear panel receptacles.
NOTE: The load should be switched OFF prior to connection.
The UPS utilizes a transformer to provide excellent isolation and voltage regulation.
During normal operation, the UPS will be warm to the touch, but not hot enough to
burn. The transformers have been coated with a laquer finish which may produce a
slight, nontoxic odor during the first several weeks of operation.
WARNING
The UPS generates EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation). Keep all sensitive magnetic media,
such as credit cards, floppy disks, magnetic key cards, recording tape, etc., away from this
unit.

5.11 Parameter Dump Command (Function 0)
Parameter Dump Command (Function 0)
Function ‘0’ displays all UPS parameters in the following format:
#####,###.#,#####,#####,##.##,###.#,#####,###.#,#####,###.#,#####,#####,##.##,
###.#,###.#,###.#,xxxxx,#####,#####,#####,#,##,##,##,##,##,##,##,##,
###############,############
Where ‘#’ indicates a digit or a blank character and ‘x’ represents a
letter. The string is terminated by a Carriage Return and a Line Feed.
Parameters are separated by a comma (‘,’). Above is the exact format for
the SID option; IID option has slightly different format (less blank charac-
ters). This command lists the CFR parameters in the following order:
1. Input Voltage 17. Charger Status
2. Input Current 18. Battery Temperature
3. Input VA 19. Efficiency
4. Input Watts 20. Capacity
5. Input Power Factor 21. Run Time Remaining
6. Input Frequency 22. Mode Data
7. Output Voltage #1 23. Input Alarms #1
8. Output Current #1 24. Input Alarms #2
9. Output Voltage #2 25. Battery Alarms
10. Output Current #2 26. Output Alarms
11. Output Watts 27. Environmental Alarms
12. Output VA 28. Inverter Alarms
13. Output Power Factor 29. System Alarms
14. Output Frequency 30. IID/Micro Board Serial #
15. Battery Voltage 31. Unit model - config. version
16. Battery Current
Example:
114, 1.22, 133, 38, 0.29, 59.9, 127, 0.31, 222, 0.49, 95, 0, 0.00,
59.9, 55.2, 2.8, ON, 24, 0, 0, 0, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00,

In the above example, 114 represents the Input Voltage, 1.22
represents the Input Current, 133 represents the Input VA, etc.
