CHAPTER 1

POWERWARE 3115 – ONE OF THE BEST!

The Powerware 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.

With the Powerware 3115, you can safely eliminate the effects of power

disturbances and guard the integrity of your equipment. IdealforPCs,

workstations, point-of-sale systems, network nodes, and similar

equipment, the Powerware 3115 provides cost-effective power

protection.

Because an integral part of power protection is power management

software, the Powerware 3115 comes fully equipped with a

communication port,serial cable, and a CD containing both LanSafe III

for networked systems and FailSafe III for standalone systems.

Providing outstanding performance and reliability, the Powerware 3115’s

unique benefits include the following:

Compact design conserves valuable space and makes the UPS easy to

install.

User-replaceable batteries extend the service life of your UPS.

The Site Wiring Fault indicator immediately informs you of wall

outlet wiring problems (available on 120V models only).

Audible alarms alert you of any fault conditions.

Start-on-battery allows you to power up the UPS even if utility power

is not available.

The Powerware 3115 is backed by worldwide agency approvals.

Installing the UPS

The following steps explain how to install the UPS. See “UPS Rear

Panels” on page 6 for the rear panel of each model.

1. If you are installing the power management software, connect

your computer to the UPS communication port using the

supplied communication cable.

NOTE If you need to change the factory-setdefaultsfor outputvoltageor utility

power range,see “How to SetDIP Switches”on page10 before installing the UPS.

2. On 230V models, plug the UPS power cord into the input

connector on the UPS rear panel.

3. Plug the UPS power cord into a wall outlet or other power

source.

4. Plug the equipment to be protected into the UPS output

receptacles.

DO NOT protect laser printers with the UPS because of the

exceptionally highpower requirements of the heating elements.

Communication Port Configuration

To establish communication betweenthe UPS and a computer, connect

your computer to the UPS communication port using the supplied

communicationcable. Use only the factory-supplied cable and software.

See Table 2 for detailed information.

Operation and Configuration

Powerware

3115 User’s Guide www.powerware.com

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.

UPS MAINTENANCE

This section explains how to:

Care for the UPS and batteries

Replace the batteries

Test new batteries

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 anambient temperature of

25°C (77°F).

Storing the UPS and Batteries

If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every six

months by plugging the UPS into a power outlet. The UPS charges to

90% in approximately 12 hours. However, it is recommended that the

UPS charge for 24 hours after long storage.
