Class B EMC Statements FCC Part 15 NOTE This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
1. Powerware® 5115 — Introduction The Powerware 5115 uninterruptible power system (UPS) protects your sensitive electronic equipment from basic power problems such as power failures, power sags, power surges, brownouts, and line noise. 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.
Special Symbols The following are examples of symbols used on the UPS to alert you to important information: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - Indicates that a risk of electric shock is present and the associated warning should be observed. CAUTION: REFER TO OPERATOR’S MANUAL - Refer to your operator’s manual for additional information, such as important operating and maintenance instructions. SAFETY EARTHING TERMINAL - Indicates the primary safety ground.
2. Installation 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. To file a claim for shipping damage or concealed damage: 1) File with the carrier within 15 days of receipt of the equipment; 2) Send a copy of the damage claim within 15 days to your service representative.
3. Plug the equipment to be protected into the UPS output receptacles. DO NOT protect laser printers with the UPS because of the exceptionally high power requirements of the heating elements. 4. indicator illuminates indicating Start the UPS by pressing the button. The that power is available from the UPS output receptacles. The UPS conducts a self–test and enters Normal mode. If the alarm beeps or a UPS alarm indicator stays on, see Table 3 on page 16.

3. Operation and Configuration Turning the UPS On To turn on the UPS, press the button on the front panel (shown in Figure 4). After the UPS is turned on, it conducts a self–test and enters Normal mode. The indicator illuminates indicating that power is available from the UPS output receptacles. Starting the UPS on Battery To turn on the UPS without using utility power, press and hold the button for two seconds. When the UPS starts on battery, it does not conduct a self–test to conserve battery power.
Initiating the Self–Test Press and hold the button for three seconds to initiate the self–test. If the UPS finds a problem, an LED indicates where the problem is. For more information, see “Troubleshooting” on page 17. NOTE The UPS must not be in Battery mode to perform the self–test. Voltage Configuration The DIP switches on the rear panel of each unit (see Figure 5) are used to configure the output voltage and input voltage range. 1. The UPS must be completely shutdown.
4. Communication Options The UPS is equipped with a USB and a DB-9 communication port. Either the USB port or the DB-9 communication port may be used to monitor the UPS; however, they cannot operate simultaneously. Communication Port To establish communication between the UPS and a computer, connect your computer to the UPS communication port using the supplied communication cable. When the communication cable is installed, power management software can exchange data with the UPS.
USB Port The UPS can communicate with a USB-compliant computer using LanSafe Power Management Software (v4.15 or higher). To establish communication between the UPS and a computer: 1. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the UPS rear panel. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on your computer. Figure 7. The USB Port 2. Install the LanSafe software and USB drivers according to the instructions provided with the Powerware Software Suite CD.
5. UPS Maintenance 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. Storing the UPS and Batteries If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every 6 months by plugging the UPS into a power outlet. The batteries charge to 90% capacity in approximately 3 hours.
Use the following steps to replace the batteries: 1. Pull the top left corner forward and remove the front panel. 2. Slide up and remove the metal battery cover. 3. 500 unit. Disconnect the red battery cable and then disconnect the black battery cable. Pull the battery out onto a flat, stable surface. 4. 750 - 1400 VA units. Disconnect the red battery cable and then pull the battery out onto a flat, stable surface. Disconnect the black battery cable to the UPS as shown. 5. Replace the battery.
