3.0 Installation
3.4 Connecting to the utility
Your PowerCell is furnished with a 6 foot line cord terminated with a standard
NEMA 5-15P three pronged plug. The UPS must be plugged into a 2 pole, 3 wire
grounding receptacle. If an extension cord must be used between the UPS and
the nearest wall outlet, use a 3 wire grounding type rated for at least 10 Amps.
Your PowerCell is provided with a rear SITE WIRING FAULT indicator. Once
loads are connected, the indicator illuminates when the UPS is turned on and
connected to an outlet whose wiring is improper or inadequate. This could mean
that the “hot” and “neutral” wires at the wall receptacle are reversed, the ground
wiring is missing, or the “neutral” wiring is overloaded.
Note: If your PowerCell indicates a site wiring fault, a qualified electrician should be
summoned to correct the service wiring.
3.5 Battery charging
Your PowerCell is shipped from the factory with its internal battery in a fully
charged state. However, the battery may lose some charge during shipping and
storage. The battery should be recharged before conducting the following Test
for proper operation (section 3.7) and to ensure that your PowerCell will provide
expected run time. The battery is automatically charged by the UPS whenever
the PowerCell is plugged in (the power I/O switch does not have to be on). You
can be sure that the battery is fully recharged if the PowerCell is left plugged in
for at least 6 hours. Your PowerCell may be used immediately upon receipt, but
may not provide expected run time in the event of a utility power failure.
