Fig. 2.5 Stand-by mode
Though the batteries (the internal energy reserve) were fully charged when the UPS left
the factory, they might have lost some energy during transport and/or storage. It is
recommended to allow the UPS to recharge the batteries for at least 6 hours. This way
you ensure that the UPS can provide sufficient runtime in case of a utility power failure.
2.4.6 Checking the site wiring fault LED
When the UPS is still in ‘STAND-BY’ mode, check the site-wiring fault LED. If the UPS
is plugged into an improperly wired AC utility power outlet, this LED flashes as shown in
Fig 2.6.
Fig. 2.6 Site wiring fault
The detection of site wiring faults includes a missing ground, phase-neutral polarity
reversal and an overloaded neutral circuit. If the LED flashes, unplug the UPS and have
the site wiring checked by a qualified electrician.
This step completes the installation procedure.

5 - Optional Features
Apart from the SNMP-option described in 4.4 the following options are possible:
5.1 Extended Runtime
Extended runtime can be obtained by connecting a separate battery extension module to the
UPS. The additional batteries increase the runtime and recharging time for the unit, all other
operational information is the same as for standard models.
5.2 TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor)
RJ-45/RJ-11 Surge Protector.
To prevent damage caused by surges, noise and spikes traveling over the telephone line or
network line.
6 - Maintenance
6.1 General Maintenance
Apart from battery servicing, the UPS is virtually maintenance free. Take care of proper
environmental conditions and keep air inlets/outlets free of dust. Please read 1.3.
6.2 Batteries - General
The service life of the battery is from 3 to 6 years, depending on the operating conditions
(mainly temperature and number of discharge cycles).
As a healthy battery is critical to the performance of the UPS, it is advised to regularly perform
a battery test to ensure failsafe operation (see section 3.3.3). When the condition of the battery
is critical, a 'replace battery'alarm will be activated (see 3.4.5). Have the batteries replaced as
soon as possible. See 6.3.
6.3 Batteries - Replacement
·
·
WARNING: first read the safety rules in sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.4.
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized
personnel away from batteries.
6.4 Recycling the UPS at the end of service life
GE Digital Energy, in compliance with environment protection recommends that the
UPS equipment, at the end of its service life, must be recycled conforming to the local
applicable regulations.

7 - Troubleshooting
Whenever a malfunction occurs, first check external factors (e.g. connections, temperature,
humidity or load) to determine whether the problem is caused by the unit itself or by its
environment. Subsequently check the thermal circuit breaker: it may be tripped. If so: reset it
and be sure that the UPS is not overloaded.
The following chart is a simple troubleshooting checklist only. If the suggested solution does
not succeed, or if the information is insufficient to solve the problem, please contact your dealer
