Getting Started
The Harsh Environment (HE) UPS system is shipped as two separate
cabinets (UPS Cabinet and Environmental Cabinet). Each cabinet is shipped
on a wood/foam and steel pallet. Use a forklift or pallet jack to move the packaged
cabinets to the installation site, or as close as possible to the site, before unloading
from the pallets.
This is the basic sequence of the installation steps:
1. Create an installation plan for the UPS and Environmental cabinets.
1. Prepare your site for the UPS system.
2. Inspect, unpack, and unload the cabinets.
3. Wire the cabinets as applicable (Chapter 2).
4. Complete the Installation Checklist (Chapter 2).
5. Have authorized service personnel perform preliminary checks and startup.
After wiring the UPS system to the facility power and critical load(s), be sure to ground
the system according to local and/or national electrical wiring codes, using your own
cabling and conduit.
NOTE: Startup and operational checks should be performed only by authorized
service personnel. This service is usually offered as part of the sales
contract for your UPS system.
Creating an Installation Plan
Before beginning to install your UPS system, you should be sure you understand
the instructions in this manual. Use the procedures and illustrations in the
following sections to create a logical plan for installing the UPS system The
information in this chapter and Chapter 2 will help you plan the installation.
Preparing Your Site
For your UPS system to operate at peak efficiency, your installation site should
meet the environmental parameters outlined in this manual. If you intend to
operate the UPS at an altitude higher than 1500 meters (5000 feet), contact your
local sales or service office for important information about high altitude operation.
The operating environment must meet the size and weight requirements shown in
Table J of Appendix A.
The basic environmental requirements for operation of the UPS system are:
Ambient Temperature Range: 0 --- 50˚ C (32 --- 122˚ F)
Recommended Operating Range: 20 --- 25˚ C (68 --- 77˚ F)
Maximum Relative Humidity: 95%
The UPS and Environmental cabinets use forced air cooling to regulate internal
component temperature. Air inlets are on the right side of the Environmental
Cabinet and outlets are on the top of the UPS cabinet. You must allow clearance in
front of and above each cabinet for proper air circulation.

2. Use a forklift or other material handling equipment to move the cabinets to a
convenient unpacking area. Insert the forklift jacks between the foam cushions
on the bottom of the unit.
CAUTION:
DO NOT tilt cabinets more than 10 degrees from vertical.
3. Set each pallet on a firm, level surface, allowing a minimum clearance of
4.6m (15 ft) on each side for removing the cabinets from the pallets.
4. Cut the steel bands around each cabinet.
5. Remove the protective cardboard covering from the cabinets, cutting where
indicated, using a knife blade no longer than 25 mm (1 in.).
NOTE: Do not discard the packaging material yet. Instructions for unloading the
cabinet from the pallet are printed on the cardboard, and you will need to
refer to them.
6. Remove the plastic bag and foam packing material, and discard or recycle
them in a responsible manner.
Unloading the UPS System From the Pallet
The UPS and Environmental cabinets are each bolted to sheet metal pallets
consisting of four supports secured to foam cushions. The foam cushions act as
shock absorbers for the cabinet during shipment.
WARNING:
UPS cabinets are extremely heavy. If unloading instructions are not closely
followed, the cabinet may tip and cause serious injury.
Turning the jacking bolts unevenly may cause the cabinet to become
unbalanced. To prevent tipping, raise and lower the jacking bolts evenly. The
cabinet should only be raised approximately 3 mm (1/8 in.) above the floor
(just enough to remove foam cushions).
1. Starting with the UPS cabinet, open and remove the cabinet door. Remove the
retaining screw located inside the door at the bottom hinge pivot point, then lift
the door off. Save the retaining screws for reinstallation of the door.
2. Locate the field kit (packed inside of the cabinet or communication panel).
Locate the four ½-in. jacking bolts and install them in the threaded holes in the
front and rear supports. Place a floor protector underneath each jacking bolt,
and screw the bolts down against them. The floor protectors will save the floor
from being marred by the jacking bolts.
3. Loosen, but do not remove the hardware holding the foam cushions to the
front and rear supports (labeled “1” in Figure 3).
4. Turn each jacking bolt consecutively, two full turns, until the foam cushions
clear the floor by approximately 3 mm (1/8 in.).
5. After the foam cushions clear the floor, remove the hardware loosened in
step 3. Pull the foam cushions out from under the cabinet, and discard or
recycle them in a responsible manner.

5. To check the operation of the RMP, ensure that the UPS is supplying the load
via inverter or bypass. If the indicators on the RMP show the appropriate
status, then it is operating correctly.
If the communications link between the UPS and the RMP is not present, the
RMP will self-test (all indicators flash and the horn beeps at one-second
intervals). If this occurs, check all harness connectors and the fuse for proper
seating. If all connections are secure but the RMP continues to self-test,
replace the fuse with the spare included in the hardware kit. If this does not
correct the problem, contact your local field service office for verification that
the RMP is working correctly.
6. To test the indicator lamps, press the horn silence button and hold it for
3 seconds. All lamps should light, and the horn will sound continuously
until you release the button.
7. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 4 through 6 for each RMP you are installing.
8. If you are installing an RIM or SCM in addition to an RMP, proceed to Chapter 5
or 6, respectively; otherwise, secure the UPS cabinet by reversing the steps
contained in procedure “To Prepare the UPS for Wiring to an RMP, RIM, SCM,
or Remote EPO” of Chapter 2.

Understanding UPS Operation
Your UPS functions automatically to supply AC electrical power to your
critical load. The UPS always operates in one of four modes:
• In Normal mode, the critical load is supplied by the inverter, which derives its
power from rectified utility AC power. In this mode, the rectifier also provides
charging current for the battery.
• In Battery mode, the battery cabinet provides DC power, which maintains
inverter operation. The battery supports the critical load.
• In Bypass mode, the critical load is directly supported by the utility through an
isolation transformer.
• In Maintenance Bypass mode, the critical load is directly supported by the utility
through a Maintenance Bypass circuit breaker..
The UPS continually monitors itself and the incoming utility power, and
automatically switches between Normal, Battery, and Bypass modes as required,
with no operator intervention. The Maintenance Bypass mode is a manual
operation needing operator intervention. The sophisticated detection and
switching logic inside the UPS ensures that operating mode changes are automatic
and transparent to the critical load. The UPS switches automatic operating modes
in response to these system events:
• A command is an intervention that is externally initiated by an operator or by
some site action. A command causes the UPS to switch operating modes; it
usually does not require any further action by you.
• A notice is a minor system event that may or may not require your attention.
• An alarm is a system event that requires immediate operator intervention.
System events, alarm horns, and indicator lights are described in Chapter 12 ---
Responding to System Events.

Looking Inside the UPS
The Powerware BPIII HE is a continuous duty, solid-state UPS that supports the
following equipment: process control, data processing, and
telecommunications/PBX. The Powerware BPIII HE maintains power to the critical
loads during commercial electrical power brownout, blackout, overvoltage,
undervoltage, and out-of-tolerance frequency conditions.
In this manual, the power required by your equipment is called the critical load. The
UPS supplies the critical load with conditioned power that is synchronized with your
utility power. Figure 17 shows the main elements of the UPS.

Figure 17. Main Elements of the UPS System
If utility power is interrupted or falls outside the parameters specified in the Product
Specifications section of Chapter 16, the UPS uses a backup supply to sustain
power to the critical load for a specified period of time or until the utility power
returns. For extended power outages, the backup supply allows you to either
transfer to an alternative power system (such as a generator) or shut down your
critical load in an orderly manner.
The operation of the UPS system is described in greater detail in the following
paragraphs. The Product Specifications section of Chapter 16 outlines the storage
and operating specifications for the UPS.

Normal Mode
In Normal mode, utility AC power is supplied to the rectifier. The rectifier supplies
DC power to the inverter, which then supplies the critical load with AC power. The
rectifier also provides charging power to the battery through a DC to DC voltage
converter. The battery charge condition is monitored by the UPS and reported by a
status indicator on the Monitor Panel. The message “System Normal” appears in
the status area of the LCD screen.

Figure 18. Path of Current Through the UPS in Normal Mode
If the utility AC power is interrupted or is out of specification, the UPS automatically
switches to Battery mode to support the critical load with no interruption. When
utility power returns, the UPS returns to Normal mode.
If the UPS system becomes overloaded, the UPS switches to Bypass mode. The
UPS automatically returns to Normal mode when the error condition is cleared and
system operation is restored within specified limits.
If the UPS suffers an internal failure, it switches automatically to Bypass mode and
remains in that mode until the failure is corrected and the UPS is back in service.

Bypass Mode
The UPS automatically switches to Bypass mode if it detects an overload, load
fault, or internal failure. The bypass source supplies the commercial AC power to
the load through an internal switch and an internal transformer.
CAUTION:
The critical load is not protected while the UPS is in Bypass mode.

You can transfer the UPS from Normal mode to Bypass mode manually. However,
the UPS switches automatically to Bypass mode whenever the inverter can no
longer supply the critical load. If the UPS transfers to Bypass mode from Normal
mode due to any reason other than operator intervention, the UPS automatically
attempts to transfer back to Normal mode (up to three times within a 10-minute
period).
Bypass mode is a normal operating mode, and not an alarm condition. However, if
the UPS is unable to return to Normal mode following an automatic transfer to
Bypass mode, an alarm condition will be recorded.

Battery Mode
The UPS transfers to Battery mode automatically if a utility power outage occurs, or
if the utility power does not conform to specified parameters. In Battery mode, the
battery, through the DC to DC voltage converter, provides emergency DC power
that the inverter converts to AC power. When the UPS switches to Battery mode,
the alarm indications depend on the cause and condition of the battery charge.
The length of time the system can operate in Battery mode depends on loading
and the battery supply capacity.

When the discharging battery voltage reaches the lower limit of UPS operation
capability, the critical load transfers to Bypass mode if it is available. If Bypass input
is not available, a “Shutdown Imminent” warning occurs. The warning time before
critical load loss occurs is approximately 2 minutes, depending on battery capacity
and the amount of loading.
If incoming power returns to within specified parameters, the UPS automatically
returns to Normal mode and alarm indications clear. However, the process of returning
to Normal mode is not instantaneous. The rectifier gradually draws increasing power
from the incoming utility until Normal mode is achieved.

Using the Operating Controls
Although the operating controls appear easy to use, you should read these
instructions and thoroughly understand how the controls work before attempting
to use them. Refer to oneline drawing 164201261---3 in Appendix A to clarify control
functions. Refer to Chapter 9 --- Using the Monitor Panel for instructions on using
the monitor panel.
CAUTION:
Incorrect use of the power controls can cause a loss of power to your
critical load.
The following paragraphs describe the switches on the Control Panel (see Figure 34).:
• The MODE switch is a two-position rotary switch that controls the manual
transfer of the UPS to and from Bypass mode. The MODE switch is used to:
--- Place the critical load in Bypass mode when the UPS is operating in Normal
mode and the bypass source is within acceptable limits. If the transfer does
not occur within 2 seconds, an alarm sounds.
--- Prevent transfer to Normal mode when the UPS is in Bypass mode.
--- Shut dow n the power processing unit (inverter and rectifier) of the UPS.

• The BATTERY switch is a two-position rotary switch that allows you to manually
enable or disable the Battery Breaker CB2. The battery switch is also used to
reset the DC to DC converter if the converter shuts down during normal
operation.
• The PUSH TO RESET pushbutton is described in the “Resetting UPS System
after Emergency Power Off” section of this chapter.

• The START switch activates the power controls on the Control Panel. The
START switch is center-biased (the key will rest only in the upright position). Its
operation is similar to that of an automobile ignition switch. After setting the
operator controls, you turn the START switch to the right momentarily to
activate the controls. When you release it, it returns to the upright position.
The following paragraphs describe the controls and indicators found in the
Environmental cabinet (see Figure 33).
• The circuit breaker (CB1) switch supplies power to the rectifier and inverter. If
CB1 is on (closed), the rectifier turns on when the START switch is activated
and the proper voltage is at the input terminals.
• The circuit breaker (CB2) switch controls the application of battery power to the
UPS. If CB2 is closed, the rectifier charges the battery through the DC to DC
converter during normal operation. If utility power is lost, battery power is
supplied to the inverter through the DC to DC converter.
S
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.
S
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.
S
Bypass Input (BIB) 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.

Operation
The following sections describe how to operate the controls to start, stop, or
change the operating mode of the UPS.
To Place the UPS in Normal Mode:
1. Close BIB circuit breaker.
2. Close CB1 circuit breaker.
3. Turn the BATTERY switch to NORMAL.
4. Turn the MODE switch to NORMAL.
5. Ensure the Emergency Power Off PUSH TO RESET pushbutton is pressed in.
6. Turn the START switch to the right momentarily.
After the rectifier reaches 540 VDC, the DC to DC converter begins to turn on.
After the converter reaches full voltage, the OK To Close CB2 notice is
displayed on the Monitor Panel LCD screen.
7. When the OK To Close CB2 notice is displayed on the Monitor Panel LCD
screen, close circuit breaker CB2.
The inverter begins to turn on. When the inverter reaches full voltage, it turns
on and supplies power to the critical load.
If a bypass source is available when you turn the START switch on, the critical
load is immediately supplied by the bypass source in Bypass mode until the
inverter turns on and the UPS transfers to Normal mode. The status indicators
on the Monitor Panel indicate when the UPS is in Bypass mode and Normal
mode.
To Shut Down the UPS from Normal Mode:
1. Turn the MODE switch to BYPASS.
The UPS switches to Bypass mode. If the bypass source is not available, the
power processor remains on and an alarm sounds.
2. When the transfer is complete (the LCD screen reads On Bypass), move the
CB2 breaker switch to OFF. Then move the CB1 breaker switch to OFF.
The bypass source supplies the critical load and the power processor
de-energizes. The Bypass mode indicator illuminates on the Monitor Panel.

To Start the UPS in Bypass Mode:
If the power processing unit (PPU) of the UPS is not available and you need to
energize your critical load right away, you can energize your critical load without
the benefit of backup. To turn the UPS on in Bypass mode:

The RMP contains a local horn and the following backlit status indicators:
SYSTEM NORMAL
The UPS is energized (either with utility
power or battery backup) and is supplying
conditioned power to the critical load.
NO REDUNDANCY
This indicator applies only to parallel
systems when one cabinet is not
functioning. This feature is not available on
this system.
ON GENERATOR
This alarm means that the UPS input and
bypass are being supplied by the power
from the generator, instead of from the
utility power.
ON BYPASS
The bypass source is supplying the critical
load. Usually this means that the UPS is
not energized. The load is not protected in
Bypass mode, and a horn sounds after 30
seconds.
UPS ALARM
The UPS system is issuing an alarm.
Conditions that affect the current UPS
mode are indicated by the alarm lamps and
horn on the UPS.
ON BATTERY
The UPS battery backup is supplying the
critical load. The utility power is either
interrupted or out of specification. The
SYSTEM NORMAL indicator is also lit.
BYPASS UNAVAILABLE
The UPS system is in Normal mode, but
a bypass source is not within specification.
A horn sounds after 30 seconds.
SHUTDOWN IMMINENT
The UPS is preparing to shut down because the UPS is in Battery mode and the DC
voltage is approaching its low limit.

Responding to System Events
When the UPS system is running in Normal mode, it continually
monitors itself and the incoming utility power. In Battery or Bypass
modes, the UPS may issue alarms to let you know exactly what event caused the
change from Normal mode. System events can be indicated by horns, lights on
the UPS, or both.
Select Active from the Events menu on the LCD screen to look at the Active
System Events screen. This screen shows any currently active alarms, notices,
or commands.
System Event Horns
The system event horn beeps according to the type of event it is signifying:
• When the UPS detects an alarm that requires your attention, the horn beeps at
½-second intervals.
• When a notice occurs, the horn beeps at 2-second intervals.
• If the battery contactor is open and the Bypass mode is unavailable, the horn
beeps every 4 seconds.
System Event Lights
The status indicators on the UPS Monitor Panel work in conjunction with the event
horn to let you know when the UPS is operating in any mode other than Normal.
Only the Normal indicator is visible during normal UPS operation. The others light
to indicate alarms or events. When an alarm occurs, you should first check these
indicators to see what type of event has taken place. For descriptions of the status
indicators, see “Reading the Status Indicators” section of Chapter 9, “Using the
Monitor Panel”.

Mode
The operational mode of the port. Each communications port operates in one of
the following modes:
Terminal mode
Calibration
System events are logged immediately as they occur.
Used only by service personnel.
System Config. Allows you to set building alarms, battery tests, etc.
(Check with your Sales or Service Representative for availability.)
Computer
Provides a proprietary Binary Computer Mode (BCM) Interface.
Remote Monitor Sends all system event information to an RMP, RIM, or
Supervisory Contact Module (SCM). Available for Port 1 only.
Port 1 and Port 2 cannot be in the same mode simultaneously; they must always be
operating in different modes. The modes are described later in this chapter.
Rate
The baud rate of the equipment connected to this port. The baud rate determines
the speed of data transferred between the UPS and the connected equipment. For
Remote Monitor mode, the baud rate must be set to 300. All other modes should
operate at the highest baud rate available with the connected equipment. 300
baud is not recommended for any mode except Remote Monitor.
You can select a baud rate of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19,200.

Data/Stop
The data size and stop bits of the equipment connected to this port. These
settings determine the number of bits transmitted per ASCII character. The data
size and stop bits you specify depend on the configuration of your equipment.
For Port 1, the data size must be set to 8, with 1 or 2 stop bits. Settings of 7 data
bits/1 stop bit and 7 data bits/2 stop bits are available for Port 2.
NOTE: When connecting a computer running a terminal emulation program, you
should set your equipment to NO PARITY.
Handshaking
This setting controls handshaking. You can select XON/XOFF or Disabled for this
setting.
Disabled (No Handshaking)
If handshaking is disabled, the UPS will transmit and receive data via the serial
port, ignoring all inputs from handshaking lines.
XON/XOFF
If handshaking is enabled, the UPS uses special characters (XON and XOFF) to
handshake with the host terminal. The XON character is defined to be ASCII value
11 hex, and the XOFF character is defined to be ASCII value 13 hex. Upon
reception of an XOFF command, the UPS halts transmission until an XON
command is received. In the same way, if the terminal receives an XOFF
command, the UPS expects the terminal to halt transmission until the UPS sends
an XON command.
Save
Set to YES to save any changes to configuration settings upon exit from the Setup
screen. Set to NO if you do not want to save any changes.
Default Settings
The following are the default configuration settings for the serial communications
ports:
Port 1
Port 2
Remote Monitor 300 baud 8/1 Handshaking Disabled
Terminal 9600 baud 8/1 Handshaking Disabled
Each communications port on the UPS operates in one of five modes which you
select when configuring the port using the Setup Port screen.

Optional Remote Notification
NOTE: The optional RS---232 serial communication port is required to use
this feature.
Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and
notices at a remote location. Remote Notification also provides some basic
controls that can be performed remotely on the UPS. Remote Notification operates
through a standard computer modem. Using the Terminal mode, the user calls the
UPS to perform basic monitoring and control. In the event of a UPS alarm or
notice, the user is notified at the remote location. The UPS calls, through the
modem, to the user’s computer or pager and leaves a message.
Remote Notification is an extension of the Terminal mode with the additional
support algorithms necessary to control an external modem (refer to Chapter 13,
“Serial Communications”. Connection to the UPS is made when a user calls the
UPS on the phone. The user has exactly the same capabilities as if using a
terminal connected directly to the optional UPS RS---232 port. Remote Notification
differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition of Call Answer, Call Out, and
Housekeeping functions. The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the
UPS from a remote location and enter Terminal mode. The Call Out function allows
the UPS to be configured to call either a remote computer or numeric paging
service over the phone line. Call Out allows the UPS to call a remote computer and
leave a one-line descriptive message of the alarm or notice condition. Numeric
paging support allows the UPS to call a paging service and send numeric
messages. The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the UPS and
modem.

Remote Notification Features
Remote Notification provides the UPS with the capability to utilize a standard
off-the-shelf PC modem as a telephone interface. The features provided by this
option are as follows:
• Call out to a remote terminal or pager based on programmable events and
alarms.
• Two separate, programmable notification groups (phone numbers).
• Programmable number of redial attempts.
• Programmable time delay between call out attempts.
• Automatic answering (user configurable) for access to the Terminal mode of
the UPS.
• Remote and local ability to clear Call Out alarms and events.
• Error detection and correction for misconfigured and disconnected modems.
• Uses standard modems and cables available at your local computer supply
center.

Description of Operation
The Remote Notification option performs three basic functions: Call Answer into
Terminal mode, Call Out to a remote terminal, and Housekeeping. Remote
Notification also allows access to any functions available in the Terminal mode from
a remote computer or terminal.
Call Answer
To use the Call Answer function, the modem is configured to automatically answer
by having the user program the S0 register of the modem to a non-zero number.
When the modem receives a call, the UPS is alerted to wait for a connect signal
from the modem. When the modem answers and finishes handshaking, the UPS
acknowledges the modem connect signal and allows the caller into the Terminal
mode (refer to Chapter 13, “Serial Communications”). In this mode, the user can
request four items and perform one command:
NOTE: The brackets ([ ]) in the following steps indicate standard keyboard
characters.
• Display all screens (^B, ^M, ^P). Press and hold [CTRL], then press [A].
• Display battery test results by pressing and holding [CTRL], then pressing [B].
• Display meters screen by pressing and holding [CTRL], then pressing [M].
• Display event history by pressing and holding [CTRL], then pressing [P].
• Reset Call Out Alarms by pressing and holding [CTRL], then pressing [R].
The Reset Call Out Alarms command causes the UPS to cease Call Out attempts
on a currently active alarm and resets that alarm call. Refer to the “Call Out”
section of this chapter for more information.
Call Out
The Call Out function contains programmable alarms and status events (refer to
Chapter 12, “Responding to System Events”). The notification groups tell the UPS
to notify a remote computer or pager for each selected event. Refer to the
“Configuring the Modem” section of this chapter for information on the modem
configuration. Refer to the “User-Selected Events” section of this chapter to note
which events are designated as group one or two. These events are selected when
the UPS is purchased. The Call Out function activates as follows:
• A UPS alarm or notice occurs that is programmed to cause a Call Out.
• The UPS takes the modem off the hook and sends a command to the modem
to call the notification groups (phone numbers) required. The command sent to
the modem for group one is “ATDTS0” and “ATDTS1” for group two. This
allows the user to program the phone numbers into the modem.

• The UPS logs a successful notify to the event log when the remote computer or
modem answers and leaves an event message with the following format.
nnn<space>mmm<LF><CR> where:
nnn
=
The telephone number of the UPS (20 characters maximum)
<space> = ASCII space character (0x20)
mmm
<LF>
<CR>
=
=
=
Event message for notice or alarm (40 characters maximum)
ASCII line feed character (0x0A)
ASCII carriage return character (0x0D)
If calling a pager service and the service answers, the UPS delays momentarily and
then dials the pager number. Refer to the “Configuring the Modem to Call a
Numeric Pager” section of this chapter for more information on configuring a
modem to dial a pager.
NOTE: Because the pager service is not a modem, the UPS does not know if its
message got through; therefore, the UPS continues to call the pager service
for a programmed number of times or until a call-in reset is performed.
An unsuccessful notify event is logged into the UPS event log for each
attempted call out.
If the phone number that the UPS is calling does not answer, the UPS delays for a
time period (programmable from 1 to 60 minutes) and then reattempts the call. If
answered, the UPS ceases further attempts to call. Each call group can be
programmed for a separate number of attempts to call and delay between calls.
Each unsuccessful attempt to call causes an unsuccessful notify event to be
logged into the UPS event log.
If both call groups are active, the UPS alternates between calling the groups. The
Call Out process can be terminated at any time by calling into the UPS and
sending the reset command (press and hold [CTRL] and press [R]) or by turning
the key switch on the front of the UPS.
Housekeeping
When the modem is idle, the UPS “pings” (tests for connection) the modem by
sending an “AT” to the modem at five-minute intervals. If the modem does not
respond correctly, by sending either “OK” or “0” to the UPS, the UPS attempts to
re-initialize the modem. After a successful re-initialization, the UPS returns to the
Housekeeping function. If the re-initialization is unsuccessful, two more attempts to
re-initialize the modem are made before the UPS disables all Call Out attempts.
Re-initialization is then attempted every ten minutes or until the communications
mode is changed by the UPS front panel controls (or the modem re-initializes). For
each unsuccessful attempt, the UPS logs a modem failure event into the event log.
When the modem link is confirmed, the UPS communications resume normal
operation and Call Out is enabled.

Configuring the Modem
The modem must be configured by the user before connecting to the UPS. In
addition, the modem must be programmed with the Call Out telephone numbers in
order to operate the Remote Notification option.
To configure the modem, connect the serial port of a standard PC computer to
the modem through the serial cable. Run a terminal emulation program on the
computer. Test the connection to the modem by typing [A], [T] and [ENTER].
The modem should respond with either “OK” or “0” (zero). If the modem does not
respond, consult the modem manufacturer’s manual to confirm your setup. If the
modem still does not respond, then seek technical assistance from your modem
manufacturer.
After connection, perform “Basic Modem Configuration” and the remaining
sections of this chapter.
Basic Modem Configuration
The modem should be a plug and play type. All setup is configured by the UPS.
Only the initial phone number needs to be entered by the user.

Configuring the Modem to Call a Remote Computer
To configure the modem to call a remote computer, perform the following
procedure:
NOTE: Perform this procedure only after completing “Basic Modem Configuration”
section of this chapter.
The brackets ([ ]) in the following steps indicate characters that require
keying in prior to pressing [ENTER].
1. Connect the modem to the PC through the serial port as described in the modem
manufacturer’s manual .
2. Key in [A], [T], then press [ENTER].
3. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
NOTE: In steps 4 and 5, the “xxxxxxx” is the phone number of a remote computer.
The phone number should include all local line and long distance access
numbers needed to dial out. This number is limited to 32 characters.
Placing a “T” at the beginning of the number informs the modem to use tone
dialing. For example, use “9” if needed for an outside line, “1” for long
distance + (Area Code) + Number or whatever access codes are needed to
dial the call directly. Add a “,” in the number anywhere that a delay is
needed. This will cause a one-second delay. More than one delay may be
added to the number; for example, enter “AT&Z0=T,9,,1 (Area Code) (Phone
Number)”.
4. To program a group one number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [0] (zero), [=], [T], [,],
[xxxxxxx], then press [ENTER].
5. To program a group two number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [1], [=], [T], [,], [xxxxxxx],
then press [ENTER].
6. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
7. Key in [A], [T], [&], [W], [0] (zero), then press [ENTER].
8. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
9. Connect a telephone line to the modem and test the modem by keying in [A], [T],
[D], [S], [0] (zero), then pressing [ENTER].
10. The modem dials the telephone number stored in step 4 or 5. (The number is
displayed on the terminal screen as it is dialed.) Repeat steps 4 (or 5) through 9
as necessary to modify the telephone number.
11. Confirm that the modem responds with “1” (one) when the connection is made.
NOTE: To set up a group one or group two pager number, refer to “Configuring the
Modem to Call a Numeric Pager” section of this chapter.

Configuring the Modem to Call a Numeric Pager
To configure the modem to call a numeric pager system, perform the following
procedure.
NOTE: Perform this procedure only after completing “Basic Modem Configuration”
section of this chapter.
The brackets ([ ]) in the following steps indicate characters that require
keying in prior to pressing [ENTER].
1. Connect the modem to the PC through the serial port as described in the modem
manufacturer’s manual .
2. Key in [A], [T], then press [ENTER].
3. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
NOTE: In steps 4 and 5 the “xxxxxxx” is the pager system number and “yyyyyyy” is the
numeric message (usually a phone number). The three“[,]” provide a delay while
the pager system computer answers. The “xxxxxxx” entry should include all local
line and long distance access numbers needed to dial out, as well as the pause
necessary between dialing the pager service and sending the pager the numeric
message. This number is limited to 32 characters. Placing a “T” at the beginning
of the number informs the modem to use tone dialing. For example, use “9” if
needed for an outside line, “1” for long distance + (Area Code) + Number or
whatever access codes are needed to dial the call directly. Add a “,” in the number
anywhere that a delay is needed. This causes a one-second delay. More than one
delay may be added to the number; for example, enter “AT&Z0=T,9,,1 (Area Code)
(Phone Number) (Pauses) (Numeric Message)”. For areas with pulse dialing, the
“T” should be inserted before the numeric message to switch to tone dialing. The
numeric message can only be delivered using tone dialing. Keying in the “#”
(pound) character at the end of the numeric message is very important. It
prevents the pager service from picking up on the modem hang-up
commands and sending additional characters.
4. To program a group one number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [0] (zero), [=], [T], [,],
[xxxxxxx], [,], [,], [,], [yyyyyyy], [#], then press [ENTER].
5. To program a group two number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [1], [=], [T], [,], [xxxxxxx],
[,], [,], [,], [yyyyyyy], [#], then press [ENTER].
6. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
7. Key in [A], [T], [&], [W], [0] (zero), then press [ENTER].
8. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
9. Connect a telephone line to the modem and test the modem by keying in [A], [T],
[D], [S], [0] (zero), then pressing [ENTER].
10. The modem dials the telephone number stored in step 4 or step 5. (The number is
displayed on the terminal screen as it is dialed.) Confirm that the pager receives
the message. Repeat steps 4 (or 5) through 9 as required to modify the telephone
number and message.
NOTE: To set up a group one or group two number to call a computer, refer to
“Configuring the Modem to Call a Remote Computer” section of this chapter.

Configuring the Modem to Answer Incoming Calls
To configure the modem to answer incoming calls, perform the following
procedure.
NOTE: Calling into the UPS does not present any type of security risk. There are no
commands that can be executed via the call-in feature except those available
to the Terminal mode.
1. Connect the modem to the PC through the serial port as described in the modem
manufacturer’s manual .
NOTE: The brackets ([ ]) in the following steps indicate characters that require
keying in prior to pressing [ENTER].
2. Key in [A], [T], then press [ENTER].
3. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
4. Key in [A], [T], [S], [0] (zero), [=], [2], then press [ENTER].
5. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
6. Key in [A], [T], [S], [0] (zero), [?], then press [ENTER].
7. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero) and a value of “002”.
8. Connect a telephone line to the modem. Test the modem by using another PC
equipped with a modem to dial the first modem.
9. Confirm that the UPS modem responds with “2” when the phone is ringing, and a
“1” after the UPS modem has answered and the carrier has been detected.
10. Key in [A], [T], [&], [W], [0] (zero), then press [ENTER].
11. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).
Final Modem Configuration
The final step in configuring the PC modem for use with the UPS is to turn off the echo
feature of the modem. This procedure is performed automatically by the UPS.

UPS Setup Configuration
Connect the modem to the UPS by connecting one end of the serial cable to the
optional UPS Port 2 DB---25F connector and the other to the modem (refer to
Chapter 13, “Serial Communications”). If using a standard serial cable, a null
modem adapter is required for the connection to the modem.
The Powerware BP III HE UPS can only use optional serial Port 2, DB---25F, for the
Remote Notification option. This connection is located in the serial
communications panel at the base of the UPS cabinet, behind the front door.
The modem operates at only one baud rate because there is no handshaking
between the modem and the UPS. Select the lowest common baud rate (less than
or equal to 2400 baud) compatible with the capability of the UPS interface
equipment. For example, if the computer only has a 2400 baud modem, then the
UPS should be set for 2400 baud. Remember, the remote computer modem can
always slow down to the UPS baud rate, e.g., a 14400 baud modem can run at
2400 baud, but a 2400 baud modem cannot run at 14400 baud.
Following the instructions in Chapter 9, “Using the Monitor Panel” and Chapter 13,
“Serial Communications”, use the LCD screen and pushbuttons on the Monitor
Panel to access the setup screen and configure Port 2 as follows.
NOTE: The modem should be connected to the UPS as described in the modem
manufacturer’s manual before configuring the UPS communications port.
<MODE>
<RATE>
Remote Notify
The baud rate at which the modem will communicate
to other modems, 2400 baud maximum.
<DATA/STOP>
<HANDSHAKING>
<SAVE>
8 1 Standard 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.
Disabled
Yes. To save new configuration.
The handshaking feature listed is for UPS-to-terminal handshaking, not
UPS-to-modem handshaking. Setting the handshaking to “modem” has no effect.
If the remote terminal has buffering problems because of excessive data transfer
rate from the UPS, XON/XOFF handshaking can be selected to resolve this issue.
The user must make sure that the modem (not the remote terminal) at the remote
terminal end of the connection is configured for either hardware handshaking or
none at all. This is required so that the modem does not attempt to trap the
XON/XOFF characters and prevent them from being transmitted to the UPS.

Maintaining the UPS System
The components inside the UPS cabinet are secured to a
sturdy metal frame that is supported by the UPS magnetics. This
design allows authorized service personnel to remove repairable components with
very little disassembly. All repairable parts and assemblies are located in the front
of the UPS, allowing all routine maintenance and servicing to be performed with
front panel access.
You must schedule periodic performance checks of your UPS to keep it running
properly. Regular routine checks of operation and system parameters will enable
your UPS system to function efficiently for many trouble-free years.
Important Safety Instructions
Remember that your UPS is designed to supply power EVEN WHEN
DISCONNECTED FROM THE UTILITY POWER. The UPS interior is unsafe until the
DC power source is disconnected and the electrolytic capacitors are discharged.
After disconnecting the utility power and the DC power, authorized service
personnel should wait at least 5 minutes before attempting internal access to the
UPS system.
WARNING:
LETHAL VOLTAGE PRESENT. This unit should not be operated with the cabinet
doors open or protective panels removed. Do not make any assumptions about
the electrical state of any cabinet in the UPS system.
WARNING:
Battery maintenance or battery replacement should be performed by
authorized service personnel only. Keep unauthorized personnel away from
battery room.

Performing Preventive Maintenance
The UPS requires very little preventive maintenance. However, the UPS should be
inspected periodically to verify that the unit is operating normally.
Perform the following checks DAILY:
• Check the area surrounding the UPS and environmental cabinet. Ensure the
area is not cluttered, allowing free access to the unit.
• Ensure the air intakes (filters on right side of Environmental Cabinet) and
exhaust openings (on top of the UPS cabinet) are not blocked.
• Ensure there is at least six inches of clearance behind the unit for proper air
circulation.
• Ensure the operating environment is within the parameters specified in the
Product Specifications section of Chapter 16.
• Ensure the UPS is in Normal mode (Normal status indicator is lit). If an alarm
lamp is lit or the Normal status indicator is not lit, contact Customer Support.
Perform the following checks MONTHLY:
• Ensure all status indicator lamps are operative. (Press the
and
pushbuttons simultaneously to test the lamps.)
• Monitor system parameters as described in Chapter 9, “Using the Monitor
Panel”.
• Record the results of your checks and any corrective actions in a suitable log.
ANNUAL maintenance:
Annual preventive maintenance should be performed only by authorized service
personnel familiar with maintenance and servicing of the UPS system. Contact
your nearest field service office for more information about service offerings.
FILTER maintenance:
Pleated disposable filters, installed inside of three filter assemblies located on the
right side of the Environmental cabinet, eliminate particles from the air which is
used to cool the UPS system. Filters should be checked or replaced at least every
thirty days in a clean environment, and at least every seven days in a dirty
environment. The replaceable filter size is 20 inches x 20 inches x 1 inch with an
ASHRAE rating of 52.2. An AmAir 62 Plus meet these requirements. To remove
filters:
1. Loosen captive screw at left side of filter grill.
2. Open grill.
3. Remove and replace filter.
4. Close filter grill and secure with captive screw.

16. Battery voltage is computed at 2 volts per cell as defined by Article 480 of the NEC. Rated
battery current is computed at 1.8 volts per cell.
17. The battery wiring used between the battery and the UPS should not allow a voltage drop
of more than 1% of nominal DC voltage at rated battery current.
18. A battery disconnect switch is recommended, and may be required by NEC or local codes
when batteries are remotely located. The battery disconnect switch may be supplied as an
accessory, and should be installed between the battery and the UPS.

20. Source protection for AC input should be treated as if supplying a three phase transformer
with a rating 1.4 times the UPS kVA rating, to allow for transformer magnetization inrush
current.
21. The input breaker (CB1) has a trip rating of 150 amps AT for the 400, 480 and 600 volt input
UPS and 320 amps AT for the 208 volt input UPS.
22. The bypass feed into this equipment utilizes either three or four wires. The rectifier feed
into this equipment utilizes three wires. However, the phases must be symmetrical about
ground (i.e., from a Wye source) for proper equipment operation. Failure to follow these
instructions will void the product warranty.
23. The line-to-line unbalanced output capability of the UPS is limited by the full load per phase
current values for AC output to critical load shown in Tables A through C. The
recommended line-to-line load unbalance is 50% or less.

LIMITED FACTORY WARRANTY FOR THREE-PHASE POWERWARE PRODUCTS
Subject to the conditions herein, Powerware (Powerware) warrants solely, to the original end-user, the electronics (the “Unit”),
and Powerware built battery cabinets, against defects in material and workmanship for the warranty period of 12 months, from
the date of equipment start up, or 18 months from date of shipment, whichever occurs first. Should service be necessary, this
warranty covers:
USA only:
The Powerware 9315, 9320, 9330, 9335, BPIII, and BPIV three-phase UPS products are sold with a
standard factory warranty (described below), start up, and extended labor service.
All three-phase UPS installations will have an authorized Powerware Service Engineer perform startup or
the factory warranty and extended labor service will be void. The included first year extended labor service
provides for a complete 12 months of onsite labor for your UPS purchase.
Worldwide:
All parts requiring replacement for the Factory Warranty period.
If, in the opinion of Powerware, the Unit fails to meet published specifications and the defect is within the terms of this warranty,
the Unit will be repaired or replaced at the option of Powerware with no charge for replacement parts. Labor required, to make
upgrades, repairs or replacement installation, is not included under the terms of this Limited Warranty, except for labor and
travel costs required during the first 90 days of this warranty (USA only), provided that startup of the unit onsite, has been
performed by Powerware (in USA) or its agent (outside of USA). Equipment sold, but not manufactured by Powerware, and
only the manufacturer of such equipment shall warrant this equipment and is not included as part of this warranty agreement.
Equipment repaired or replaced pursuant to this warranty will be warranted for the remaining portion of the original warranty
subject to all the terms thereof.
This warranty is not valid unless an authorized Powerware Service Engineer (in USA) or Agent (outside USA) performs startup
and commissioning. This warranty does not apply to any Unit that has been subject to neglect, accident, abuse, misuse,
misapplication, incorrect installation, or that has been subject to repair or alteration, not authorized in writing by Powerware
personnel or performed by an authorized Powerware Service Engineer or Agent. Purchaser shall be invoiced for, and shall pay
for, all services not expressly provided for by the terms hereof, including, without limitation, site calls involving an inspection
that determines no corrective maintenance is required. THIS WARRANTY IS THE PURCHASER’S (USER’S) SOLE REMEDY
AND IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF, AND THERE ARE NOT OTHER, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES
(INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMED). In no case will Powerware’s liability under this Warranty exceed the replacement value of the Unit warranted.
Invensys Powerware’s obligation, under said warranty, is expressly conditioned upon receipt by Powerware of all payments due
it (including interest charges, if any). During such time as Powerware has not received payment of any amount due it, in
accordance with the Contract terms under which the equipment is sold, Powerware shall have no obligation, under said
warranty; also during this time, the period of said warranty shall continue to run and the expiration of said warranty shall not
be extended upon payment of the overdue amount. These limitations, to said warranty, apply even in the event that the
equipment is sold initially by Powerware for resale to an ultimate end-user.
In no event shall Powerware be liable for any indirect, incidental special or consequential damages of any kind or type
whatsoever, or based on any claim or cause of action, however denominated. Powerware shall not be responsible for failure
to provide service or parts due to causes beyond Powerware’s reasonable control. This limited warranty applies only to the
original end user of the unit.
This factory warranty will not be in effect if the End-User does not properly store the equipment, including the “trickle charge”
of batteries no later than the date indicated on the packaging, before installation and does not cover shipping damages if FOB
Factory. Cost for replacement equipment, installation, material freight charges travel expenses and labor of Powerware
representatives will be borne by the Purchaser (user). Any advice furnished the Purchaser before or after delivery in regard to
use or application of Powerware equipment is furnished without charge and on the basis that it represents Powerware’s best
judgment under the circumstances. The use of any such advice by the Purchaser is solely and entirely at its own risk. Any other
agreements, such as Service contracts or Sales Concessions are not means to annul this Factory Warranty.
For comment or questions, about this Limited Factory Warranty, write to the Customer Quality Representative, 3301 Spring Forest Road, Raleigh, NC
27601, or call (919) 872---3020
