Chapter 3 Understanding UPS Operation
The UPS functions automatically to supply AC electrical power to the critical load. The UPS
always operates in one of three modes:
A 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.
A In Bypass mode, the critical load is directly supported by utility power.
A In Battery mode, the battery cabinet provides DC power, which maintains inverter
operation. The battery supports the critical load.
The UPS continually monitors itself and the incoming utility power, and automatically
switches between these modes as required, with no 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 operating
modes in response to these system events:
A 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 A notice is a minor system event that may or may not require your attention.
A An alarm is a system event that requires immediate operator intervention.
to System Events."
3.1 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. 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.

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.

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). The fourth transfer will lock
the critical load on the bypass source and requires operator intervention to transfer.
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 is recorded.

Understanding UPS Operation
3.3 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
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
load configuration and the battery charge.

ꢀShutdown Imminent" warning occurs. The warning time before critical load loss occurs is
approximately two minutes, depending on load configuration and the battery charge.
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.

Starting and Stopping the UPS
A 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 two
seconds, an alarm sounds.
− Prevent transfer to Normal mode when the UPS is in Bypass mode.
− Shut down the power processing unit (inverter and rectifier) of the UPS.
A The BATTERY switch is a two-position rotary switch that allows you to manually shunt
trip the battery breakers in remote cabinets.
A The circuit breaker (CB1) switch controls the operation of 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.
A The PUSH TO RESET button is described in ꢀResetting the UPS System after Load Off" on
A 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 sections describe how to operate these controls to start, stop, or change the

Starting and Stopping the UPS
When the inverter reaches full voltage, it turns on and supplies power to the
critical load. It takes less than one minute for the UPS to achieve Normal mode.
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 or Normal mode as
appropriate.
4.1.2 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 CB1
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.
4.1.3 To Start the UPS in Bypass Mode
If the PPU of the UPS is not available and you need to energize the critical load right away,
you can energize the critical load without the benefit of backup. To turn the UPS on in
Bypass mode:
1. Turn the MODE switch to BYPASS. (The remaining switches can be in any position.)
2. Turn the START switch to the right momentarily.
Power to the critical load is supplied by the bypass source. No backup is available.
4.1.4 To Shut Down Power to the Critical Load While in Bypass Mode

by colored light emitting diodes (LEDs), and they work in conjunction with the alarm horn
to let you know the operating status of the UPS.
Indicator
Symbol
Indicator
Name
Description
Normal
This green symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Normal mode.
The PPU is supplying power to the critical load.
Battery
This yellow symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Battery mode.
Because Battery mode is a normal condition of the UPS, the Normal
indicator also remains lit.
Bypass
Notice
This yellow symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Bypass mode.
The critical load is supported by the bypass source. The Normal
indicator is not lit when the system is in Bypass mode.
This yellow symbol is lit when the system needs attention. The LCD
screen shows all active notices. Some notices may be accompanied by
an audible horn. To silence the horn, press the and buttons
simultaneously. The Notice indicator may be lit along with other

Using Features and Options
6.4 Battery Cabinets
You can enhance the protection time provided by your UPS by adding one or more battery
cabinets. The battery cabinets provided by the UPS manufacturer are equipped with sealed
lead-acid, maintenance-free batteries in a cabinet that matches the UPS. Each battery
cabinet contains a battery circuit breaker. Several battery capacities are available.
The UPS battery cabinets can be paralleled. With this capability, you can increase your
battery backup time by adding battery cabinets to your UPS system. The Powerware 9315
can support up to four battery cabinets.
6.5 External Battery Disconnect
A breaker is located inside each battery cabinet supplied by the UPS manufacturer.
However, due to space limitations, your battery cabinets may not be located in the same
area as your UPS. An optional external DC circuit breaker provides a manual means of
disconnecting a battery that is located remotely from the UPS. The circuit breaker is
enclosed in a wall-mounted box. You can install it anywhere between the remote DC
supply and the UPS, according to national and local codes.
The breaker switch should be set to ON for normal UPS operation when DC power is
available at the UPS. When service personnel are performing maintenance on the UPS or
battery cabinet, the switch should be set to OFF.
NOTE There is no DC disconnect device within the UPS.
NOTE The DC input to the UPS is protected by internal fuses F21 and F22.
NOTE The UPS DC disconnect trip signal from TB4, points 1 and 2 (shunt trip) or TB4,
points 1 and 3 (UV trip) must be connected to the DC source disconnect device(s).

Chapter 7 Communication
This chapter describes the communication features of the Powerware 9315 UPS and
provides information about connecting hardware and using Terminal mode.
7.1 Locating the Communication Bays
The Communication Panel inside the UPS contains a DB−9 and DB−25 serial port. The DB−9
port provides a computer interface to a Remote Monitor Panel, Relay Interface Module, or
Supervisory Contact Module. The Communication Panel also contains terminals (TB1 and
TB2) for connecting your equipment to the UPS.
The X−Slot communication bay, used for optional X−Slot cards, allows the UPS to
communicate in a variety of networking environments and with different types of devices.

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.
7.5.2 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.

7.5.3 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.
7.5.4 Handshaking
This setting controls handshaking. You can select XON/XOFF or Disabled for this setting.
7.5.4.1 Disabled (No Handshaking)
If handshaking is disabled, the UPS transmits and receives data via the serial port, ignoring
all inputs from handshaking lines.
7.5.4.2 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 receiving 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.
7.5.5 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.

NOTE The X−Slot communication bay is connected internally to the DB−25 port by
default; the DB−25 is disabled for other uses. Contact your Eaton service representative
to purchase, install, and set up an external modem or an internal X−Slot Modem Card.
NOTE Refer to the service documentation for detailed Remote Notification information.
For connection and setup of a modem or to enable Remote Notify features within the UPS,
Remote Notification provides the UPS with the capability to use a standard off-the-shelf PC
modem as a telephone interface. The features provided by this option are as follows:
A Call a remote terminal or pager based on programmable events and alarms.
A Four separate, programmable notification groups (phone numbers).
A Automatic answering (user−configurable) for access to the Terminal mode of the UPS.
A Remote and local ability to clear Call Out alarms and events.
A Error detection and correction for misconfigured and disconnected modems.
Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and notices at a
remote location. Using the Terminal mode, the user calls the UPS to perform basic
monitoring. 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. 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 UPS RS−232 port.
Remote Notification differs from the basic Terminal mode with the addition the following
functions:
A Call Answer – The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the UPS from a
remote location and enter Terminal mode.
A Call Out – 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.
A Housekeeping – The Housekeeping function maintains the link between the UPS and
modem.

Chapter 8 Maintaining the UPS System
WARNING
Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the battery
installation and maintenance. Risk of electrical shock.
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.
8.1 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 five minutes before
attempting internal access to the UPS system.
WARNING
A Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short−circuit current. The
following precautions should be observed: 1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal
objects; 2) Use tools with insulated handles; 3) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of
batteries.
A ELECTRIC ENERGY HAZARD. Do not attempt to alter any battery wiring or connectors.
Attempting to alter wiring can cause injury.
A Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the
UPS.
A LETHAL VOLTAGE PRESENT. This UPS 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.
A If the battery cabinet requiring service was not provided by the UPS manufacturer, refer to
the battery cabinet manufacturer’s operating manual for instructions on battery cabinet
installation and maintenance, or contact your Eaton service representative.

Chapter 10 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.
10.1 System Event Horns
The system event horn beeps according to the type of event it is signifying:
A When the UPS detects an alarm that requires your attention, the horn beeps at
½-second intervals.
A When a notice occurs, the horn beeps at 2-second intervals.
10.2 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
10.3 System Event Messages
When a system event occurs, a message is added to the Event History Log. A message may
also appear on the Monitor Panel of the UPS. The Event History Log contains all system
event messages, whether or not they were displayed on the Monitor Panel.

Chapter 11 Using the LOAD OFF Button
Load Off is initiated by the covered, red LOAD OFF button on the Monitor Panel. This
button is protected by a clear plastic shield to prevent accidental activation. In an
emergency, you can press this button to instantaneously open the input breaker and
interrupt UPS output. The UPS is cut off from utility power, and the critical load is
de-energized. All power to the critical load is lost. The UPS (including Bypass) remains
locked off until you reset the LOAD OFF button.
WARNING
All power to the critical load is lost when you press this button. You should use this feature
only in an emergency or when you want to de-energize the critical load.
To restart the UPS after pressing the LOAD OFF button, follow the procedure ꢀResetting
