3. INSTALLATION

3.2.1 Terminal Block Input and Output Wiring

1. Connect a dedicated ground wire from the GROUND lug on the back of the CFR

to an electrical ground point (i.e., wall receptacle gound or a copper water pipe).
The wire size must be at least 14 AWG (2.0 mm

2

) , be rated 75

O

C minimum,

and have green insulation provided with one or more yellow stripes.

NOTE: Most electrical codes require this type of ground connection in
case the AC Line power cord is disconnected from the wall. Always consult
your local electrical code to ensure prescribed grounding practices.

2. Connect the input wires to the terminal blocks as indicated in Table 3.2.2. Refer

to table 3.2.1 for recommended wire sizes and tightening torques.

3. If using an external battery pack, plug its connector into the rear panel of the

UPS (see section 3.3).

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.

4. Start and test the UPS without the load connected (see section 4.1). After

testing, switch the unit OFF before connecting the load.

5. Connect the output wires to the terminal blocks as indicated in Table 3.2.3.

Refer to table 3.2.1 for recommended wire sizes and tightening torques.

NOTE: The load should be switched OFF prior to connection.

The CFR UPS utilizes a transformer to provide excellent isolation and

voltage regulation. During normal operation, the CFR UPS will be warm to the
touch, but not hot enough to burn. The transformers have been coated with a
lacquer finish which may produce a slight, nontoxic odor during the first several
weeks of operation.

WARNING

The CFR UPS generates EMR (Electromagnetic Radiation). Keep all
sensitive magnetic media such as credit cards, floppy disks, magnetic key
cards, recording tape, etc., away from this unit.

5. TERMINAL COMMUNICATION

5.10 External Modem Parameters,

continued

Each digit in “11111111” represents the action for one alarm group starting

from group 1 and up to group 8. The default action, “11111111,” means all alarm
groups are set to DIAL1.

Using this menu, you can specify an action for each alarm group. For

example, if we want the modem to call DIAL2 when the output shuts down due to
low battery and/or a fault and to send no alarm messages for self-test events, then
we should set alarm groups 4 and 6 to DIAL2 and alarm group 7 to NONE. This
setting is represented by “11121201”).

UPS018 - output shutdown
UPS019 - output restored

CFR defines 20 different power events which are grouped in 8 alarm groups:

Set Alarm Actions:

0= None, 1= DIAL1, 2= DIAL2, (Default value is “11111111”)

Use this menu to specify what actions the CFR should take when various
power events take place. The three possible actions are:

— None: Ignore the event; do not take any action
— DIAL1: Call the DIAL1 phone number and report the event
— DIAL2: Call the DIAL2 phone number and report the event
