CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The Powerware FERRUPS uninterruptible power system (UPS) is
available in plug-receptacle or hardwired models. The plug-receptacle
models have an input plug and receptacles on the rear panel. The
hardwired models have terminal strips that an electrician has to wire to
AC input.
See the following sections for steps on how to use this manual for your
UPS installation.
Plug-Receptacle Installation
Only a few sections in this manual are required for installing
plug-receptacle models:
:
Be sure to read all safety warnings before installing the UPS as stated
in Chapter 2, “Safety Warnings.”
:
Complete Chapter 3, “Setup” for setting up the location of the UPS.
:
If you purchased an external battery cabinet, an electrician must wire
the battery to the UPS as described in Chapter 7, “Battery Cabinet
Installation.”
:
Continue to the startup section in the Powerware FERRUPS FE/QFE
UPS (500 VA–18kVA) User’s Guide.
Hardwired Installation
Most of the sections in this manual are required for the electrician to
install the hardwired models:
:
Be sure to read all safety warnings before installing the UPS as stated
in Chapter 2, “Safety Warnings.”
:
Complete Chapter 3, “Setup” for setting up the location of the UPS.
:
Chapter 4, “Electrical Installation” describes the electrical
requirements for hardwiring the UPS.
:
Continue to either Chapter 5, “External Bypass Switch Installation”
or Chapter 6, “Internal Bypass Switch Installation” depending on the
thetypeofbypassswitchbeinginstalled.

CHAPTER 2
SAFETY WARNINGS
Read the following precautions before you install the UPS.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important instructions that you
should follow during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Please
read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for future
reference.
DANGER
This UPS contains LETHAL VOLTAGES. All repairs and service should be performed
by AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. There are NO USER
SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the UPS.
WARNING
: 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.
: 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.
: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and
humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient
temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). Do not operate near water or
excessive humidity (95% max).
: To comply with international standards and wiring regulations, the total equipment
connected to the output of this UPS must not have an earth leakage current
greater than 1.5 milliamperes.

CAUTION
: Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short-circuit
current. Observe proper precautions. Servicing should be performed by qualified
service personnel knowledgeable of batteries and required precautions. Keep
unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
: Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements.
: Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to flame.

SIKKERHEDSANVISNINGER
FARE
Denne UPS indeholder LIVSFARLIG HØJSPÆNDING. Alle reparationer og
vedligeholdelse bør kun udføres af en AUTORISERET SERVICETEKNIKER. Ingen af
UPS’ens indvendige dele kan repareres af brugeren.
ADVARSEL!
: Denne UPS indeholder egen energiforsyning (batterier). Udgangsnetstikkene kan
lede strøm, selv når UPS’en ikke er tilsat en AC-energikilde.
: Netledningen må ikke fjernes og stikket må ikke trækkes ud, mens UPS’en er
tændt. Dette fjerner sikkerhedsjorden fra UPS’en og fra det udstyr, der er sat til.
: Installér denne UPS i et temperatur- og fugtighedskontrolleret indendørsmiljø, frit
for ledende forureningsstoffer for at formindske risikoen for brand og elektrisk
stød. Rumtemperaturen må ikke overstige 40°C. UPS’en bør ikke betjenes nær
vand eller høj fugtighed (maksimalt 95%).
: I overensstemmelse med internationale normer og bestemmelser for el-installation
må det udstyr, der er forbundet til udgangen af denne UPS, tilsammen ikke
overskride en jordafdelingsspænding på mere end 1,5 milliampere.

Figure 4. Installation and Service Clearances
Location Requirements
Install the FERRUPS as close as possible to the equipment to be
protected. If the UPS is more than 25 ft (7.6m) from the equipment,
transient noise can reappear in the electrical distribution system. The
UPS should be well ventilated and away from direct sunlight or other
heat source.
The environment can affect the reliability and performance of both the
UPS and the batteries. Verify the storage and operating environmental
requirements on page 21.
If additional FERRUPS system batteries are in a separate external battery
cabinet, the cabinet should be located as close as possible to the
FERRUPS UPS. If the batteries will be further from the unit than the
standard cables allow, contact your service representative or your local
distributor for assistance.

FERRUPS FE/QFE UPS (500 VA–18 kVA) Installation Guide : Rev A www.powerware.com
Storage and Operating Environment
Storage Temperature: Store the batteries (in the UPS or external battery
cabinet) at
-20° to +40°C(-4° to +104°F). Batteries will have a longer
shelf life if they are kept below 25°C(77°F). The UPS or external battery
cabinet without batteries may be stored at
-20° to +60°C(-4° to
+140°F).
Ventilation: The air around the UPS must be clean and free of dust,
corrosive chemicals, and other contaminants. The air must be free to
circulate around the UPS and battery cabinet(s).
NOTE Do not place the UPS or batteries in a sealed room or container.
Operating Temperature: The UPS can operate from 0° to +40°C(+32° to
+104°F). Do not operate near water or excessive humidity (95% max).
For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of 25°C
(77°F).
High Altitude Operation: The maximum operating temperature drops 1°C
per 300m (2°F per 1000 ft) above sea level. Maximum elevation is
3000m (10,000 ft).

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
NOTE If you have a plug-receptacle unit, continue to “Battery Cabinet Installation” on
page 53 to install optional battery cabinets or to the startup section in the
Powerware
FERRUPS FE/QFE UPS (500 VA–18 kVA) User’s Guide
.
WARNING
Only qualified service personnel (such as a licensed electrician) should perform the
hardwired installation. Risk of electrical shock.
Before installing your UPS, complete the following information:
1. From the ID label on the UPS rear panel:
Model number:
Input voltage:
Output voltage:
2. From the bypass switch label:
Model number:
Internal or External?
Make-Before-Break (MBB) or Break-Before-Make (BBM)?
3. Verify that the UPS input and output voltages are what is
required for your application:
Does the input voltage for the UPS at the AC service panel
match the input voltage in Step 1?
Does the output voltage in Step 1 match the output voltage of
the equipment you are using with the UPS?
NOTE The FERRUPS provides single-phase power only.
4. If you answered NO to either question in Step 3, contact your
service representative or your local distributor for assistance.

Bypass Switches
Bypass switches are available in two types: external (a separate cabinet
that is wall-mounted) or internal (attached to the back of the UPS). The
bypass switch has three positions as described in Table 6.
Table 6. Bypass Switch Positions
Switch Position Description
LINE Connects the load directly to AC input power and disconnects UPS output.
AC input power is still connected to the UPS input.
OFF Disconnects the load from the UPS output power and AC input power.
UPS Connects the UPS output to the load.
NOTE In all three positions, AC input power is still connected to the input terminals
inside the UPS (once the UPS is installed). Use the AC disconnect switch (located on
the right side of the bypass switch) to disconnect AC input power during maintenance
or service.
Bypass switches may be MBB or BBM.
An MBB switch makes a new connection before it breaks the original
connection. For example, if you turn an MBB switch from UPS to LINE,
the bypass switch connects the load to AC input power before
disconnecting the load from UPS output power.
NOTE MBB switches are not for use with 208 Vac.
A BBM switch breaks the original connection before it makes a new one.
If you turn a BBM switch from UPS to LINE, the switch disconnects the
load from UPS output power before connecting the load to AC input
power.
