Manual Overview
This user manual has been written to provide basic information about the Falcon XG Series
UPS Plus. XG models are available in nominal power ratings of 1500, 2200 and 3000 VA . The
XG Series is a compact, double conversion, “on-line” UPS. It provides continuous power
conditioning, tight output voltage regulation and a true sinewave output. The XG Series UPS
protects your sensitive electronics equipment against the widest range of power problems,
including power failures, power sags, power surges, brownouts, line noise, high voltage
spikes, frequency variations, switching transients, and harmonic distortion.
This manual also describes unpacking, unit installation, the major features of XG series UPS,
as well as detailing operation, configuration and troubleshooting.
The specifications section states all of the detailed parameters of operation for the Series, and
provides general information on approvals and certifications.
Brief XG Overview
The Falcon XG Series UPS may be installed in either of two formats. Brackets are supplied to
facilitate installation into a standard 2U, 19 inch equipment rack slot, or free-standing on a
table top in a mini-tower tower format.
The XG Series front panel features includes a graphical LCD display to indicate the status of
the operation. The display enables the user or field service engineer to easily monitor and
troubleshoot localized power problems, in addition to UPS operation. UPS control is
accomplished through STANDBY, FUNCTION/TEST and SET/ALARM SILENCE buttons. Two
levels of audible alarms are also provided when the unit is operating on battery.
The XG Series rear panel has an RS-232 port to provide communications between the UPS and
a network server or other computer systems. This port when used along with the supplied
UPSILON software, gives the ability to remotely test the UPS, set UPS parameters, monitor
power status. The software will also automatically save open computer files and initiate an
unattended shutdown, in the event of a loss of utility.
