The Powerware 9315 UPS continually monitors incoming electrical power and removes the surges, spikes, sags, and other irregularities that are inherent in commercial utility power. Working with your building’s electrical system, the UPS supplies clean, consistent power that your sensitive electronic equipment requires for reliable operation.
1.2 For More Information Refer to the Powerware 9315 UPS (200–300 kVA) Installation Manual for the following additional information: How to prepare your site and plan for installation Detailed step-by-step procedures for installing each component of your system Detailed illustrations of cabinets and optional accessories, including dimensions and...
Chapter 2 Getting Started 2.1 Safety Warnings This manual contains important instructions that you should follow during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Please read all instructions before operating the equipment and save this manual for future reference. This UPS contains LETHAL VOLTAGES.
Powerware 9315 UPS system. Cabinet Figure 2-1. Typical Powerware 9315 UPS System Each cabinet of the UPS system is shipped separately. As shown in Figure 2-1, you can combine a UPS with any of the options described in this manual to meet your system needs.
2.3 Looking Inside the UPS The Powerware 9315 is a continuous-duty, solid-state UPS that supports the following equipment: process control, data processing, telecommunications/PBX, research, and medical. The Powerware 9315 maintains power to the critical loads during commercial electrical power brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, and out-of-tolerance frequency conditions.
2.4 UPS Standard Features The UPS has many standard features that provide cost-effective and consistently reliable power protection: 2.4.1 Monitor Panel The Monitor Panel on the front of the UPS contains an LCD screen to display the current status of the UPS. You can view a statistical history and log of UPS events and display a real-time graphic representation of power flowing through the UPS components.
Several battery capacities are available. The UPS battery cabinets can be paralleled; you can increase the battery backup time by adding battery cabinets to your UPS system. The Powerware 9315 can support up to four battery cabinets. 2.5.2 External Battery Disconnect An optional DC circuit breaker, enclosed in a wall-mounted box adjacent to the UPS, provides a manual means of disconnecting a battery that is located remotely from the UPS.
2.5.3 Power Distribution Module (LV models only) An optional output Power Distribution Module (PDM) is available to distribute the output power of the UPS to the critical load. The PDM cabinet has one or two panels, each containing up to 42 poles for breaker switches. This arrangement provides flexibility for the needs of your facility.
2.5.9 Output Transformer An optional 480/208 Vac output auto transformer provides a 208 Vac output for applications that require 208 Vac. The transformer is contained in a separate cabinet. 2.5.10 Modem An optional modem is available for use with the UPS Remote Notification feature described in “Remote Notification”...
2.6 Symbols, Controls, and Indicators These symbols may appear on the UPS system or on labels inside the UPS. They are accepted by most international safety agents. Everyone in your organization who works with your UPS should understand the meaning of these symbols: ON - The principal power switch is in the On position.
Chapter 3 Understanding UPS Operation The UPS functions automatically to supply AC electrical power to the critical load. The UPS always operates in one of three modes: In Normal mode, the critical load is supplied by the inverter, which derives its power from rectified utility AC power.
Bypass Input Rectifier Input Path of electrical power Figure 3-1. Path of Current Through the UPS in Normal Mode If the utility AC power is interrupted or is out of specification, the UPS automatically switches to Battery mode to support the critical load with no interruption. When utility power returns, the UPS returns to Normal mode.
3.2 Bypass Mode The UPS automatically switches to Bypass mode if it detects an overload, load fault, or internal failure. The bypass source supplies the commercial AC power to the load directly. The critical load is not protected while the UPS is in Bypass mode. Figure 3-2 shows the path of electrical power through the UPS system when the UPS is operating in Bypass mode.
3.3 Battery Mode The UPS transfers to Battery mode automatically if a utility power outage occurs, or if the utility power does not conform to specified parameters. In Battery mode, the battery provides emergency DC power that the inverter converts to AC power. When the UPS switches to Battery mode, the alarm indications depend on the cause and condition of the battery charge.
Understanding UPS Operation 3.4 Monitoring and Controlling UPS Operation After you start the UPS, no operator intervention is necessary except for periodic checks of the UPS status. Manual operation is required only during routine maintenance or service. Use the Monitor Panel and the Control Panel to monitor and control the UPS. Figure 3-4 shows the location of these two panels on the front of the UPS.

Chapter 4 Starting and Stopping the UPS This chapter describes how to use the Control Panel to start and stop the UPS. NOTE Before starting the UPS, ensure all installation tasks are complete and a preliminary startup has been performed by authorized service personnel. The preliminary startup verifies all electrical interconnections to ensure the installation was successful and the UPS system operates properly.
The following describes the switches on the Control Panel (see Figure 4-1): The MODE switch is a two-position rotary switch that controls the manual transfer of the UPS to and from Bypass mode. The MODE switch is used to: - Place the critical load in Bypass mode when the UPS is operating in Normal mode and the bypass source is within acceptable limits.
When the inverter reaches full voltage, it turns on and supplies power to the critical load. It takes less than one minute for the UPS to achieve Normal mode. If a bypass source is available when you turn the START switch on, the critical load is immediately supplied by the bypass source in Bypass mode until the inverter turns on and the UPS transfers to Normal mode.

Chapter 6 Using Features and Options You can add available options and accessories to enhance the performance of your UPS system. This chapter provides detailed descriptions of some of the features and options introduced earlier in this manual. 6.1 Building Alarm Monitoring This standard feature lets you connect the UPS to your building alarms, such as smoke detectors or overtemperature alarms.
6.2 Summary Alarm Contacts Two summary alarm contacts are provided as a standard feature on the UPS. The alarm contacts (one notice and one alarm) are located inside the UPS on the customer interface panel (see Figure 6-2). You can specify that each contact be either normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO). If the state of the contact changes from the state you specify as normal, an alarm is issued.
Using Features and Options 6.3 Remote Monitor Panel As an option, you can install RMPs to monitor the operation of the UPS system from virtually any location within your facility, up to 500 ft from the UPS. Each RMP contains backlit status indicators and a local horn.
