Operation
3.0 Scope
Provides startup, shutdown, and normal operation of the Galaxy 3000 UPS. Included are pre and post startup safety
checklists.
The Galaxy 3000 system is simple to operate and yet provides a wealth of continuous monitoring and diagnostic
features to insure the proper operation of the unit.
Operators gain access to information in the Galaxy 3000 system through the operator interface. See Figure 3-2.
This display panel and keyboard is conveniently located on the front of the UPS cabinet.
The Galaxy 3000 Operator Interface provides an easy to use method to access and control the Galaxy features.
Through the use of four (4) soft keys and four (4) dedicated purpose keys, the operators can quickly move through
the available displays, and a multitude of displays and menus to provide information about and capabilities to control
the system. See Section 3.3 Operator Interface Screens.
3.1 Preparing for Startup
Before being able to use the operator interface to monitor and control your
Galaxy 3000 system, a number of items
should be verified to insure that all conditions will provide
for safe operation. The following check lists are provided
to aid in the successful pre and post start-up of the Galaxy 3000. They include items to verify prior to applying
power, and then tests that should be performed (when appropriate) after startup to verify the health and function-
ality of all critical modules within the system.
Before starting the Galaxy 3000, read this Installation and Users Manual thoroughly. Be certain that you fully under-
stand the operation of the indicators, controls, and operational sequences. MGE UPS SYSTEMS offers
professional start up services in most countries. It is strongly suggested that before applying power to your Galaxy
3000, you contact MGE Field Services to properly commission your system.
3.1.1 Pre-Start Up Safety Check List
◗ Ensure all power and control wires have been properly connected and securely tightened.
◗ Check to see that the upstream and downstream protective devices are not tripped, and have been sized
properly for the UPS and load requirements.
◗ Check that the input voltage is the same as indicated on the UPS nameplate, located inside the door of the
Galaxy 3000 UPS module.
◗ Make certain that nothing is blocking the air intake underneath and around the front bottom of the UPS
module and that the air exhaust on the top of the UPS module is free of all obstructions.
◗
Verify that the Manual Bypass Switch SR1 is set to the “NORMAL” position.
◗ If present, check to see that the optional maintenance bypass circuit breakers Q3BP and Q5N are in the
OFF (open) position.
◗ Check to see that the battery disconnect circuit breaker QF1 is in the OFF (open) position.
◗ Check to see that the cabinet is resting on its lifting leveler jacks and are not on the 4 casters.
◗ Check that the load-circuit breakers (where applicable) are in the OFF position.
