OPERATION
Automatic System Test

The UPS performs an automatic system test every seven days to test
the memory, batteries, and inverter. During the system test, the
BATTERY POWER and READY indicators flash. For the results of the
last system test, you can display parameter 26 (see page 37).
Logic Test
First, the UPS checks its memory. If it finds a problem, the UPS sounds
alarm O, Memory Check (– – –). See page 63.
Inverter Test
The inverter converts DC battery power into the AC power your
equipment uses. During the inverter test, the UPS pulses its inverter to
see if it delivers the proper amount of current. If not, the UPS sounds
alarm N, Check Inverter (– S). See page 63.
Although it is testing the inverter, the UPS is not in Inverter On mode.
The UPS continues to condition input power and is ready to provide
battery power if there is a power outage. The BATTERY POWER
indicator flashes during this part of the test.
Battery Test
The UPS also checks its batteries to verify that they can support your
equipment for the minimum specified run time. If not, the UPS sounds
alarm M, Check Battery (– –). See page 63. The READY indicator flashes
during this part of the test.
OPERATION
Parameters
Table 5 shows the first 26 parameters. You can view or reset the
parameters using the control panel or a terminal or computer.
If you plan to view or change parameters from the control panel, see
“Using the Control Panel” on page 29 for instructions.
If you plan to view or change parameters from a terminal or computer
that you have connected to the RS-232 port, see “Entering Commands
from a Terminal or Computer” on page 46. When you use commands to
display or change parameters, identify the parameter with either its
number or name (see Table 5). If you use the name, you can enter the
entire parameter name or just the short form; you can also abbreviate
the parameter name as long as your abbreviation includes the letters in
the short form.
Although you do not need a password to view any of the first
26 parameters, all of them require a password to change (see the
password column in Table 5). See “Entering Passwords” on page 30 or
“Entering Commands from a Terminal or Computer” on page 46 for
password information.
NOTE All changeable parameters except 0 (Time), 10 (Date), and 15 (Unit ID) are set at the

Additional Parameters The microprocessor in the UPS keeps track of more than 100 parameters. Parameters 27 and
above are alarm and operation set points, calibration factors and other settings. You usually do not need access to
these parameters for normal operation of the UPS. If you need information about the full range of UPS parameters, call
your service representative to ask for TIP 407 or TIP 503. TIP 407 describes communication from a control panel.
TIP 503 describes communication through the RS-232 port.
UPS Shutdown
The FERRUPS Rack Mount UPS is designed for many years of
round-the-clock operation. Usually, you do not need to shut down the
UPS, even if your equipment is shut down for several days. Even when
it's not powering your equipment, the UPS monitors its internal
condition and keeps the Time and Date parameters current.
The following situations may require a UPS shutdown:
1. When you do not expect to use it for an extended period of time.
2. When it is being serviced.
3. Before you move it.
4. When it has gone into the Off mode because the batteries have
been discharged during an extended outage.
5. When a system malfunction requires a UPS shutdown.
OPERATION
CAUTION
When AC input voltage is present, the UPS system can provide output voltage even though
its batteries are disconnected. To confirm that there is no UPS output voltage, always
disconnect the AC input source; if the UPS has one or more separate battery cabinets, open
the DC disconnect switch on each battery cabinet or disconnect the battery cabinet from the
UPS.
1. UPSs with no bypass switch: Turn off the protected equipment.

Continue to Step 2.
If you need to use the equipment while the UPS is off, plug the
equipment into standard wall outlets and restart the equipment.
UPSs with a Break-Before-Make (BBM) bypass switch (see the

label on the side of the switch): Shut down the protected
equipment. Turn the bypass switch to the LINE position. Continue
to Step 2.
If you need to use the equipment while the UPS is off, restart the
equipment. The equipment receives direct AC line instead of
conditioned power from the UPS.
UPSs with a Make-Before-Break (MBB) bypass switch (see the

label on the side of the switch): Verify that the AC LINE indicator is
on, the BATTERY POWER indicator is off, and the UPS is providing
output. If all three of these conditions are present, turn the bypass
switch to the LINE position. Your equipment receives direct AC line
instead of conditioned power from the UPS. Continue to Step 2.
If all three of these conditions are not present, follow Steps 2–4
before you turn the bypass switch to the LINE position. This causes
a break in power to your equipment between shutting down the
UPS and turning the bypass switch to the LINE position.
CAUTION
Equipment can be damaged if you change the switch position when line is applied and the
UPS is off or on battery! Refer to TIP 410.
2. Use the FERRUPS key to turn the UPS ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.
3. If the UPS is plugged in, unplug it. For hardwired models, turn the
AC line disconnect switch to the OFF position.
OPERATION
4. For battery cabinets with a battery connector on the rear panel,

unplug the connector between the battery cabinet(s) and the UPS.
NOTE Be sure to reconnect this connector before you restart the UPS.
For battery cabinets without a battery connector, turn the DC

switch to the OFF position.
NOTE The DC switch MUST be turned off to ensure that the batteries will not discharge.
S The DC switch is located under the hinged panel on the top of

the battery cabinet. Remove the bolts that hold the front of the
battery cabinet to the rack. Pull the battery cabinet out slightly;
unscrew the panel screw and lift open the hinged panel. Turn off
the DC switch.
S Close and secure the top panel. Slide the battery cabinet back in
the rack. Reinstall the bolts to secure the battery cabinet to the
front of the rack.
5. If the UPS is turned off for an extended period of time, recharge

the batteries every 90–120 days to prevent battery damage.
To restart the UPS, see “UPS Startup” on page 17.
Extended Power Outages

If the power is out for an extended time, the UPS continues to provide
power for your equipment until it gets near the end of its run time. You
can check the remaining battery run time by reading parameter 9 (see
page 35).
At a preset number of minutes before the end of the run time
(factory-default setting is five minutes), the UPS sounds a Low Runtime
-
alarm ( S S). Shut down your equipment and turn off the UPS to
conserve the remaining battery power (see “UPS Shutdown” on
page 37). When AC input power returns, turn on the UPS to recharge
the batteries.
If your UPS shuts itself down because its battery voltage is too low, shut
down the UPS until the AC input power returns (see “UPS Shutdown”
on page 37).
OPERATION
Chapter 5 Communication
The FERRUPS Rack Mount UPS is capable of full-duplex communication

and can communicate with a computer, a Local Area Network (LAN), or
a multi-user computer system. If your system comes with UPS
monitoring and automatic shutdown software, the FERRUPS Rack
Mount UPS can communicate with that software. If your system does
not have software, you can use the CheckUPSR II Power Management
Software included on the Software Suite CD.
If you do not plan to use CheckUPS II software or other UPS monitoring
software, you can still set up RS-232 communication with the UPS and
use commands and parameters to control UPS operation.
Software Suite CD
Each UPS ships with the Software Suite CD and a communication cable.
To begin installing CheckUPS II software, refer to the instructions
accompanying the Software Suite CD.
CheckUPS II software uses an RS-232 serial link to communicate with
the UPS, and (using MicrosoftR WindowsR) it provides you with
up-to-date graphics of UPS power and system data and power flow. It
also gives you a complete record of critical power events and notifies
you of important UPS or power information. If there is a power outage
and the UPS system battery power becomes low, CheckUPS II software
can automatically shut down your computer system to protect your data
before the UPS Low Battery shutdown occurs.
NOTE You can download the latest software version from www.eaton.com/powerquality.

COMMUNICATION
Connecting a Terminal or Computer to the RS-232 Port

CAUTION
Do not make connections to the RS-232 communication port if the UPS is connected to a
positive ground battery system. The RS-232 ground must be isolated or equipment damage
will result. For help, contact your service representative.
If you are connecting a terminal to the RS-232 port, the terminal must be
capable of serial communication.
If you are connecting a computer, the computer must be running
terminal emulation software (such as HyperTerminalR). Most modem
software packages can emulate a terminal; if you do not have a terminal
emulation program, please contact your service representative for more
information.
1. To connect the FERRUPS Rack Mount UPS DB-25S (female)

RS-232 port to your terminal or computer, you need a cable
designed specifically for this purpose (see Figure 11 and Figure 12).
Eaton offers cables for computers or terminals using 25-pin or 9-pin
serial ports; call your service representative to order one of these
cables. If you would like to build your own cable, follow these
requirements:
S Use a high-quality, shielded cable.

S Do not use a standard 25-conductor straight-through cable;
only include straight-through connections for the pins shown in
Figure 11 and Figure 12.
For RS-232 communication, use Pins 2 (transmit data), 3 (receive

data), and 7 (signal ground). For hardware handshaking (request to
send on Pin 4 and clear to send on Pin 5), contact your service
representative. No other pins should be connected from the UPS
RS-232 port to your terminal or computer.
For more information on pin connections and the function of the

non-serial pins on the RS-232 port, see Table 6 on page 42,
“Remote Monitoring” on page 49, and “Remote Shutdown” on
page 50.

Remote Monitoring
Alarm Signal Contacts: These are relay contacts (rated at 25 Vac/Vdc
and 250 mA) that change status on any alarm condition or when the UPS
is turned off. Contacts that close on an alarm are available between
Pins 23 and 24. Contacts that open on an alarm are available between
Pins 24 and 25.
Inverter On Signal Contacts: These are relay contacts (rated at
25 Vac/Vdc and 250 mA) that change status when the inverter turns on.
Contacts that close on inverter operation are available between Pins 12
and 13. Contacts that open on inverter operation are available between
Pins 11 and 13.
COMMUNICATION
Remote Shutdown
The FERRUPS Rack Mount UPS can be connected to a remote
shutdown switch to shut off output from the UPS to your protected
equipment. The shutdown switch must have a set of contacts that can
apply the UPS's +12 Vdc on Pin 6 to the UPS's Pin 21. (You can use
Pin 18 instead of Pin 6; do not use Pin 14.) Use a single twisted-pair
shielded cable to connect the switch to the UPS pins. A connection
between Pins 6 and 21 (or 18 and 21) shuts down UPS output power to
the protected equipment.
When the UPS Remote Shutdown feature has been activated, the UPS
is in the Off mode and the Emergency Power Off alarm sounds. A
control panel or a terminal connected to the UPS displays Emergency
PwrOff.
To restart the UPS, break the connection between Pins 6 and 21 (or
between Pins 18 and 21) at the UPS's RS-232 port. Then, follow the
steps for your model in “UPS Startup” on page 17. Note that the 12V
level on Pin 6 or Pin 18 is only available when the UPS is operating.
You can change the type of signal that the UPS responds to and how
quickly it responds. You can also set up the UPS to restart automatically
when the shutdown signal stops. See TIP 503 or contact your service
representative for more information.

OPTIONS
Chapter 7 Maintenance
NOTE Technicians must observe important safety precautions while performing these
checks.
The FERRUPS Rack Mount UPS is designed to provide years of

trouble-free operation. Its internal control system checks the batteries
and inverter periodically to ensure reliable operation. In fact, you'll
probably find that your FERRUPS Rack Mount system requires less
maintenance than any of your other computer peripherals.
Nevertheless, the FERRUPS Rack Mount UPS and optional external
battery cabinets do require some attention to assure continued reliable
service. Eaton recommends that you schedule preventive maintenance
checks at least every six months. At these checks, the service
technician should follow Eaton's recommended maintenance schedule,
which includes the following items:
S Check operating environment for clean, cool, dry conditions.
S Inspect and clean the unit.
S View and record the alarm and inverter logs.
S Check the batteries.
S Check the AC and DC meter functions and recalibrate if necessary.
S Perform an outage test.
S Check and record the values of the first 19 parameters while the UPS
is online and on battery.
For more information on preventive maintenance checks, contact your
service representative.

Alarm and Inverter Logs

Your FERRUPS Rack Mount UPS makes an entry in its logs every time it
sounds an alarm or switches to inverter (battery power). This information
can be helpful in diagnosing problems.
You can view the Alarm and Inverter Logs from either the UPS control
panel or a terminal or computer that you have connected to the RS-232
port (see “Connecting a Terminal or Computer to the RS-232 Port” on
page 43).
Reading the Alarm Log from a Control Panel

The Alarm Log is parameter 25. To display the Alarm Log from a control
panel, follow these steps:

[DISPLAY] Display:

[ENTER] 25 Alarm Log
The display scrolls through the 20 most recent entries in the Alarm Log.
If you have not had 20 alarm conditions, the display scrolls through the
entries FERRUPS Rack Mount has recorded. You can use the number
keys as you view this scrolling display:
Use this key: To do this:

[0] Pause the scrolling and start it again.
[1] through [9] Go to the next log entry.
Each log entry consists of four pieces of information: the alarm code,
the date (month/day) of the alarm, the time (in 24-hour time) and the
duration (in hours and minutes).
For instance, one entry might look like this:
B 0205 1017 0005

In this example, “B” means the alarm was “Near Low Battery” (see
Table 17 on page 62); if alarm B was active, there would be an
asterisk (*) after “B.” “0205” means the alarm occurred on
February 5 (2/5). “1017” means the alarm occurred at 10:17 a.m.
“0005” means the alarm condition lasted for 0 hours and 5 minutes.
