Installation and User Manual 2.5 Communication Ports Pulsar MX RT provides 4 communication methods. 1. The RS232 port provides communications using MGE UPS SYSTEMS Serial HID UPS transfer (SHUT) protocol. The SHUT protocol is compatible with the power management applications available on the enclosed Solution-Pac 2 CD-Rom. 2. The Output contacts port is used for basic signaling or for protection of IT systems like IBM iSeries (formerly AS400) and more. 3.
Pulsar MX Remote Power Off communication port (9) Installation of a Remote Power Off function must be carried out in compliance with applicable regulations. In order to fully de-energize Pulsar MX RT with the RPO port, it is necessary to use a two-position switch (Normally Open or Closed contact). Once switch is energized/de-energized, the UPS shuts off the display and the output of the UPS.
Installation and User Manual 2.7 Hardwire Connection of Output Power Cable to UPS ◗ This type of connection must be carried out by qualified electrical personnel. ◗ Before carrying out any connection, check that the battery circuit breaker and the upstream protection device (Normal AC source) is open "0" (off). 1. Remove the top of the terminal box cover (2 screws) with the included screwdriver. 2. Insert the output cable/conduit (provided by others) through the cable knockout (2). 3.

Operation 3.1 Initial Start-Up To ensure that your system is configured in complete accordance with safety regulations and to benefit from the manufacturer’s warranty, please contact Technical Support. 22 1. Check that the battery disconnect switch (60) on top cover is connected (see section 2.2 Internal Battery Connection). 2. Set the upstream circuit breaker (not included) to the on position. The equipment is powered via the Normal AC source, but not protected by the UPS.
Pulsar MX 3.3 Operating Modes Normal mode This is the standard operating mode, set by default in the factory. Under normal condition (Normal AC source available): LED (20) is ON. LEDs (30), (32), (34) are green. The equipment is protected by the UPS. ECO mode The main advantage of the Eco mode (see glossary) is that it reduces the consumption of electrical power. Under normal condition (Normal AC source available): LED (20) is ON. LEDs (33), (34) are green. The equipment is supplied in ECO mode.
Installation and User Manual 3.4 Operation on Battery Power When the Normal AC source is not available, the load continues to be protected by the UPS. Power is supplied by the battery. Transfer to battery power LEDs (20), (21) are ON. LEDs (31), (32), (34) are green. The audible alarm beeps every 10 seconds. The equipment is protected by the UPS and supplied by the battery. The display indicates the battery remaining backup time. Low battery warning LEDs (20), (21) are ON.
Pulsar MX 3.5 Return to Normal AC Source After an outage, the UPS restarts automatically when Normal AC source is restored (unless this function has been disabled via UPS personalization) and the load is supplied again. 3.6 UPS Shutdown When AC Present Before shutdown, please read ALL instructions below: 22 1. Press and hold the "0” (off) button (28) for 3 seconds. The buzzer beeps once. The load is no longer protected by the UPS. It is powered via the Normal AC source (bypass).
