CHAPTER 1 POWERWARE 3115 – ONE OF THE BEST! The PowerwareR 3115 uninterruptible power system (UPS) protects your sensitive electronic equipment from three basic power problems: power failures, power sags, and power surges. Power outages can occur when you least expect it and power quality can be erratic. These power problems have the potential to corrupt critical data, destroy unsaved work sessions, and damage hardware — causing hours of lost productivity and expensive repairs.

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION This section explains: S Equipment inspection S Safety precautions S UPS installation S UPS rear panels Inspecting the Equipment If any equipment has been damaged during shipment, keep the shipping cartons and packing materials for the carrier or place of purchase and file a claim for shipping damage. If you discover damage after acceptance, file a claim for concealed damage.
Installation WARNING S This UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply. S Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes the safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS. S To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants.
Installation 5. Start the UPS by pressing the button as shown in Figure 2. The Power On indicator illuminates indicating that power is available from the rear receptacles. On/Off Button Power On Indicator Test/Alarm Reset Button Figure 2. Powerware 3115 Front Panel The UPS conducts a self-test and enters Normal mode. If the alarm beeps, consult “Troubleshooting” on page 23. NOTE The UPS charges to 90% in approximately 12 hours.

CHAPTER 3 OPERATION AND CONFIGURATION This section covers: S Turning the UPS on and off S Starting the UPS on battery S Standby mode S How to set DIP switches S Configuring the communication port Turning the UPS On To turn on the UPS, press the button on the front panel (shown in Figure 2 on page 5). After the UPS is turned on, it conducts a self-test and enters Normal mode. The Power On indicator illuminates indicating that power is available from the rear receptacles.
Operation and Configuration Standby Mode When the UPS is turned off and plugged into a wall outlet or other power source, the UPS is in Standby mode. The battery recharges when necessary and the Power On indicator is off, indicating that power is not available from the rear receptacles. How to Set DIP Switches The DIP switches on the rear panel of each unit (see Figure 7) are used to configure the output voltage and utility power range. 1. The UPS must be completely shutdown.
Operation and Configuration Table 1.
Operation and Configuration When the communication cable is installed, power management software can exchange data with the UPS. The software polls the UPS for detailed information on the status of the power environment. If a power emergency occurs, the software initiates the saving of all data and an orderly shutdown of the equipment. 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 Figure 8. Communication Port Table 2.

CHAPTER 4 UPS MAINTENANCE This section explains how to: S Care for the UPS and batteries S Replace the batteries S Test new batteries S Recycle used batteries UPS and Battery Care For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS clean and dust-free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner. For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of 25°C (77°F).
UPS Maintenance Replacing Batteries The following steps explain how to replace the batteries. Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries. WARNING S Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed: 1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects; 2) Use tools with insulated handles; 3) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries. S The battery is not isolated from AC input.

UPS Maintenance Testing New Batteries NOTE It is recommended that the UPS charge for 24 hours before testing the new batteries. Press and hold the button for three seconds to initiate the battery test. The UPS automatically distributes some of the load to the batteries for 15 seconds and tests the battery’s performance. If there is a problem with the battery, the UPS returns to Normal mode and the alarm beeps. For more information, see “Troubleshooting” on page 23.

CHAPTER 6 TROUBLESHOOTING This section explains: S Site wiring fault on 120V models S UPS alarms and conditions S How to silence an alarm S Service and support Site Wiring Fault (120V Models only) The Site Wiring Fault indicator on the rear panel of the UPS illuminates if the ground wire connection does not exist or the line and neutral wires are reversed in the line receptacle. This indicator stays on until the condition is resolved. Have a qualified electrician correct the wiring fault.
Troubleshooting Table 9. Troubleshooting Alarm or Condition Possible Cause Action The Power On indicator is not on; the UPS does not start. The line cord is not connected or not plugged in. Connect the line cord to the UPS and plug the UPS into a working outlet. The wall outlet is dead. Have a qualified electrician test and repair the outlet. The UPS operates in Battery mode only, even though normal AC is present. A circuit breaker or an input fuse on the rear panel is open.
Troubleshooting Alarm or Condition Possible Cause Action The UPS beeps 1 time every 0.5 second. Power requirements exceed UPS capacity (overload is greater than 120%) or the load is defective. Remove some of the equipment from the UPS. You may need to obtain a larger capacity UPS. The UPS beeps continuously. UPS fault condition. Save your work and turn off your equipment. Turn off the UPS. Contact your service representative.
