IMPORTANT
Before making any connection and switching on the IT Series UPS, please check the following conditions:
• Utility supply is 120 Volts ± 10 % and 50/60Hz ± 5 %, Auto Sensing
• Total power demand of the connected load does not exceed the rated output power of the IT Series UPS (the rear panel nameplate of the
UPS shows the model, and load ratings).
3.2 Installation rules
• The UPS must be powered from a single-phase grounded utility supply. Do not use extension cords.
• Avoid locations that are excessively humid, near water, near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
• The ambient temperature should not exceed 104°F (40°C). Optimal battery lifetime is obtained if the ambient temperature does not exceed
77°F (25°C).
• It is important that ventilation air can move freely around and through the unit. Allow 1-inch (2.5cm) clearance on each side of the IT Series
UPS.
• Do not block the UPS air vent.
• Install the UPS in a protected area free of excessive dust. Do not operate the UPS where temperature and humidity is out of the
specified limits. The unit must be placed in a sufficiently ventilated area; the ambient temperature should not exceed 104°F (40°C).
• The UPS is designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment such as sensitive medical instruments, computers, telecommunication
systems, and industrial equipment from all forms of power interference, including complete power failure.
• This UPS must be installed and connected by personnel that have thoroughly read and understand this manual.
• Verify accurately during Commissioning and Maintenance of the UPS, for the following:
Damaged components, pinched wires and cables, or not correctly inserted plugs.
• This UPS is intended for use in a controlled indoor environment free of conductive contaminants and protected against animal intrusion.
• Avoid spilling liquids on or dropping any foreign object into or onto the UPS.
WARNING High leakage current:
Earth connection is essential before connecting to AC input!
CAUTION
Never connect a laser printer or plotter to the UPS with other computer equipment. A laser printer or
plotter periodically draws significantly more power than when in idle mode, and may overload the UPS.
3.3 Installation procedure
3.3.1 Placement
Install the UPS in a protected area with adequate ventilation and free from excessive dust. Ensure the UPS is placed or mounted to a level surface.
3.3.2 Connecting interface devices
If you do not want to use the communication capabilities of the UPS, please skip this section and proceed.
The UPS is equipped with two standard interface ports: a USB port and a 9-pin RS-232 port, allowing advanced communication between the
UPS and a computer (network). Refer to the communications section of this document for additional information.
Note: Computer interface connection is optional. The UPS works properly without a computer interface connection. Read the installation
instructions provided with computer interface connection and follow accordingly.
CAUTION
Use only GE factory supplied or authorized UPS RS-232 communication cable! The RS-232 port
requires a unique configured communication cable.
NOTE
Connect one (1) communication cable at a time. Do NOT connect (2) two
communication cables simultaneously.
3.3.3 Charge the battery
The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to utility power.
Note: For best results, charge the battery for 4 (four) hours in the initial use.
3.3.4 Connect to utility supply
