Connection
Your UPS is fitted with a standard RS232 interface, which can be used in conjunction with a computer in order to
access data relating to the operation of the UPS and its log. This function must be used together with the interface
programme for WINDOWS environments available from our website
www.metasystem.it
without charge. A RS232
cable is required to connect a serial port on your PC to the interface outlet [6] located on the rear of the UPS.
Switching on
1) Switch the UPS on with the appropriate button (1).
The UPS initially supplies the output directly with mains power using its bypass (signalled by the yellow Status
Indicator) (2) and after a few seconds switches over to its inverter and enters its normal operation mode (the
green Status Indicator [2] is on).
2) Switch the connected loads on and, after any bypass intervention, check that normal operation is resumed: at this
point the green Status Indicator [2] is on. Should the connected loads be too large, the bypass will remain active
and the red Status Indicator [2] will flash fastly.
3) A few moments after switching on, the UPS will automatically test its batteries to check if they are operating
correctly (refer to the section on the ‘Battery Test’).
