Turning On the Unit

WARNINGS:
1)
The unit runs warm to the touch. During the first few weeks of operation, a brand new
unit may give off an odor caused by the burning of the lacquer finishing of the trans-
former. This is normal and is not toxic.

2) This unit generates electromagnetic radiation. Keep all sensitive magnetic media
such as floppy disks, recording tape, key cards, bank and credit cards away from it.

Procedure:

1

Switch off:

• All loads connected to the unit.

• The input and battery circuit breakers (Figure 3.1).

2

Switch on the circuit breaker on the utility panel supplying power to the unit.

3

Switch on the Input circuit breaker.

The display panel’s Line Present LED turns on to show the unit is running on line power.

TIP: There is a delay of 5 to 15 seconds before the unit energizes. If it has an SID, the Test
LED flashes. If the unit does not turn on, perform troubleshooting (Sections 3.4, 5.2). Do not
perform a cold start.

4

Switch on the Battery circuit breaker.

5

Do a self test (Section 3.3).

6

One at a time, turn on the loads.

As each load is turned on, look at the load indicator on the control panel to make sure the
unit is not overloaded (Section 3.5, “Output Load”).
