Alpha Technologies CFR 1500, CFR 1500RM - Manual (Page 57)

22
The CFR is designed so that battery backup time can be greatly extended
simply by plugging the EBP 48 External Battery Pack to the back of the UPS.
Battery packs are completely self-contained.
*Battery run times are calculated at typical load (80%) and represent the total time of the CFR internal batteries
and EBP battery pack.
NOTE: ALL rack mount units require an external battery pack. Before
attempting to operate these units without a battery pack, contact Alpha
Technologies for additional information.
1. Switch the CFR's BATTERY circuit breaker OFF.
2. Locate the EXTERNAL battery connector on the rear panel of the UPS
and remove the Phillips screw #1 and loosen Phillips screw #2.
3. Slide the cover plate to the left and insert the battery pack’s connector
into the UPS. Secure the connector to the UPS using the Phillips screw #1.
4. Switch the CFR “BATTERY” breaker ON and test the unit for proper operation.

Shut Off Inverter / Save Battery
This feature requires the USER SECURITY CODE and can only be
activated if unit is in LINE FAILURE mode. The inverter can then be shut off
to preserve battery power if its no longer necessary to back up the load.
Upon return of the line voltage, the unit will then resume operation as normal.
Start-up Inverter From Save Battery
This feature requires the USER SECURITY CODE and can be
activated only if the inverter was shut off from save battery (507). The inverter
then can be restarted to provide power to the load.
Disable Transmission of Unsolicited Alarms
“509 None (xxxx)”; xxxx= “active” or blank; default is “active.”
Setting this option to “active” disables the transmission of all
unsolicited alarm messages. USER SECURITY CODE is required to set this
option.
Transmit IPC-XXX Type Unsolicited Alarms
“IPC-XXX (xxxx)”; xxxx= “active” or blank; default is blank
Setting this option to “active” causes unsolicited alarm messages of
type IPC-XXX to be transmitted whenever the status of the CFR changes.
These are ASCII type messages which are sent on the RS-232 port. The
USER SECURITY CODE is required to activate this option.
The following is a list of the unsolicited alarm messages.
UPS000 - power up
UPS001 - input out of tolerance
UPS002 - input blackout
UPS003 - inverter on
UPS004 - line mode
UPS005 - low battery warning
UPS006 - low battery shutdown
UPS007 - overload
UPS008 - load OK
UPS009 - temperature high
UPS010 - temperature OK
UPS011 - service required
UPS012 - UPS malfunction
UPS013 - self-test (Inv. on)
UPS014 - self-test passed (line mode)
UPS015 - self-test failed
Delay Transmission of Inverter On Unsolicited Alarms
“Inverter on Alarm Delay (xxxxx)”; xxxxx= “off” or “m=min”, where
m specifies 1 to 5 minutes; default setting is “off”.
Transmission of the “inverter on unsolicited message,” (i.e.,UPS003
- inverter on), can be delayed for 1 to 5 minutes to prevent short interruptions
in the input AC line from being displayed. Setting this option to “off” causes
all AC line interruptions to be displayed. USER SECURITY CODE is required
to change this option.
