Should the battery be switched on when no AC power is available, there could be voltage at the output sockets. Make sure that the AC Utility outlet is correctly grounded. Do not open the case, as there are no serviceable parts inside. Your warranty will be void. Please make sure that the input voltage of the UPS matches the supply voltage. To eliminate any overheating of the UPS, keep all ventilation openings free from obstruction, and do not store "things" on top of the UPS. Keep the UPS 30cm away from the wall. Make sure the UPS is installed within the proper environment as specified (0-40° C and 3090% non-condensing humidity). Do install the UPS in direct sunlight. Install the UPS indoors as it is not designed for installation outdoors. Dusty, corrosive and salty environments can do damage to any UPS. Install the UPS away from objects that give off excessive heat and areas that are excessively wet. The battery will discharge naturally if the system is unused for any length of time. It should be recharged every 2-3 months if unused. When installed and being used, the batteries will be automatically recharged and kept in top condition. Do not install the UPS in an environment with sparks, smoke or gas. Make sure the UPS is completely turned off when moving the UPS from one place to another. It might cause electrical shock if the output is not cut completely. Storage Instructions For extended storage through moderate climate, the batteries should be charged for 12 hours every 3 months by plugging the UPS power cord into the wall receptacle and turn on input breaker on front panel. Repeat this procedure every 2 months under high temperature environment. NXA-UPS1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply 5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 6 NXA-UPS1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply Setting Up The NXA-UPS1500 Setting Up The NXA-UPS1500 Place the UPS Properly The UPS should be placed in a well-ventilated & low humid environment. Unpacking 1. Take the UPS out of the PE foam. 2. Remove the packing materials. 3. Standard Package includes: User's Manual AC Input Power Cord Accessories for Tower and Rack Mount Accessories for Tower and Rack Mount FIG. 3 shows the accessories for tower and rack-mounting the UPS: FIG. 3 Accessories for Tower and Rack Mount This unit may require at least two people to install due to its weight. NXA-UPS1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply 7 Setting Up The NXA-UPS1500 Selecting Installation Position It is necessary to select a proper environment to install the unit, in order to minimize the possibility of damage to the UPS and extend the life of the UPS (FIG. 4). · Keep at least 20cm (8") clearance from the rear panel of the UPS from the wall or other obstructions. · Do not block the air-flow to the ventilation openings of the unit. · Please ensure that the installation site environmental conditions are in accordance with the UPS working specifications to avoid overheat and excessive moisture. · Do not place the UPS in a dusty or corrosive environment or near any flammable objects. · This UPS is not designed for outdoor use. FIG. 4 Selecting Installation Position UPS Setup The UPS offers a flexible form factor enabling integration into a wide variety of environments (FIG. 5). The UPS with space-saving design only occupies 2 RU. FIG. 5 UPS Setup If you are installing the UPS in a tower, continue to the following section, "Tower Setup", otherwise; continue to "Rack-Mount Setup". 8 NXA-UPS1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply Setting Up The NXA-UPS1500 Tower Setup Tower Setup - Step One FIG. 6 Tower Setup - Step 1 Tower Setup - Step Two FIG. 7 Tower Setup - Step 2 NXA-UPS1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply 9 Setting Up The NXA-UPS1500 Rack-Mount Setup Rack-Mount Setup - Step One FIG. 8 Rack-Mounting the UPS. - Step 1 Rack-Mount Setup - Step Two FIG. 9 Rack-Mounting the UPS. - Step 2 10 NXA-UPS1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply Setting Up The NXA-UPS1500 In order to mount the NXA-UPS1500 into an equipment rack, you must use a rack shelf (not included with the UPS), as indicated in FIG. 10, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. Rack-Mount Setup - Step Three Rack shelf required, not included with the UPS FIG. 10 Rack-Mounting the UPS. - Step 3 Rack-Mount Setup - Step Four FIG. 11 Rack-Mounting the UPS. - Step 4 NXA-UPS1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply 11 Setting Up The NXA-UPS1500 Rack-Mount Setup - Step Five FIG. 12 Rack-Mounting the UPS. - Step 5 12 NXA-UPS1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply Installation Installation Connect Utility and Load First, connect the UPS with Utility, then plug the loads into the Outlets on the rear of the UPS (FIG. 13). To use the UPS as a master "On/Off" switch, make sure that all of the loads are switched "on". These UPS outlets provide battery backup and surge protection to the equipment when Utility voltage is out of window. FIG. 13 Plug The Loads Into the UPS Do not connect a laser printer to the UPS outlets! NXA-UPS1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply 13 Installation Connect Network Surge Protection Connect a 10Base-T/100 Base-T network cable to the RJ45 network surge protection "IN" jack on the rear of the UPS. Connect from the "OUT" jack with network equipment (FIG. 14). FIG. 14 Connect Network Surge Protection If using the NXA-UPS1500 as part of a MAX system, do not run the A/V segment of the network through the RJ45 network surge protection jack on the UPS. The A/V segment of a MAX network requires a GB Ethernet switch, and the NXA-UPS1500 only provides a 10/100 connection. You can connect the Control segment of the MAX network to the UPS, since it does not require a GB connection to operate properly. Connect the RS-232 Communication Port Connect the supplied RS-232 interface cable between the RS-232 port on the rear of the UPS and an available RS-232 port on the NetLinx Master (FIG. 15). FIG. 15 Connect RS-232 Communication Port 14 NXA-UPS1500 Uninterruptible Power Supply Installation RS-232 Communication Port Pin Assignment The NXA-UPS1500 provides a DB9F (9-pin female) connector to communicate via RS-232.
