Introduction  
The Powerware 9315 Parallel Capacity/Redundant online power protection system  
is utilized to prevent loss of valuable electronic information, minimize equipment  
downtime, and/or minimize the adverse effect on equipment production due to  
unexpected power problems.  
The Powerware 9315 Parallel Capacity/Redundant System 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 Parallel Capacity/Redundant System supplies  
clean, consistent power that your sensitive electronic equipment requires for  
reliable operation. And during brownouts, blackouts, and other power  
interruptions, optional battery racks provide emergency power to safeguard  
your operation.  
The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system, using the Powerware  
PowerHandlerPlust Switchboard System Bypass Module (SSBM), allows two to  
eight UPMs to operate in parallel to provide more capacity than a single UPM and  
as backup for each other. The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system can supply up  
to 4000 Amps, depending on the SSBM used. In addition, when one UPM is taken  
out of service for maintenance or is not operating properly, the redundant UPM  
continues to supply uninterrupted power to the critical load. The Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant system refers to the SSBM in conjunction with the UPMs. The  
Parallel Capacity/Redundant system consists of a Switchboard System Bypass  
Module with optional System Maintenance Bypass (SMB), two or more UPMs, and  
battery racks or cabinets. Each UPM may have its own battery rack, or may share  
the same battery rack with the other UPMs. The SSBM has temporary load bank  
tabs to allow full load testing of the UPMs and the SSBM.  
Your UPMs functions automatically and requires very little attention during normal  
operation. However, you should read and understand the procedures described in  
this manual to ensure trouble-free operation. In particular, you should be  
thoroughly familiar with the Emergency UPM Off procedure described in Chapter 7  
of this manual and Emergency Load Off procedure described in the Powerware  
9315 UPS Operation manual provided with the UPM.  
This manual describes how to install and operate your Powerware9315  
Parallel Capacity/Redundant system. The installation section contains instructions  
for installing the Powerware PowerHandlerPlust Switchboard System Bypass  
Module (SSBM). The operation section contains instructions for operating the  
SSBM and UPMs while paralleling for capacity/redundancy. The information you  
use depends on the system you purchased.  
NOTE: The installation procedures of this manual only refer to the SSBM and its  
connection to the UPS modules for parallel capacity/redundancy operation.  
The operation section of this manual refers to the operation for the SSBM  
and the UPMs when paralleling for capacity/redundancy. For full installation  
and operation of the UPMs, refer to the Powerware9315 UPS Installation  
and Powerware9315 UPS Operation manuals provided with the UPMs.  
Each component of your Parallel Capacity/Redundant system is housed in a  
free-standing cabinet. The UPM cabinets line up and match in style and color, and  
have safety shields behind the doors for hazardous voltage protection. Figure 1  
shows a typical Parallel Capacity/Redundant System.

Safety Considerations  
The UPS cabinet and SSBM enclosures are designed for industrial or computer  
room applications, and contain safety shields behind the doors. However, the  
parallel redundant system is a sophisticated power system and should be handled  
with appropriate care, following these guidelines:  
• Keep surroundings clean and free from excess moisture.  
• Do not operate the parallel redundant system close to gas or electric heat  
sources.  
• The system is not intended for outdoor use.  
• The operating environment should be maintained within the parameters  
stated in this manual and the Powerware 9315 Operation manual provided  
with the UPS system.  
• Keep the cabinet doors closed to ensure proper cooling airflow and to  
protect personnel from dangerous voltages inside the unit.  
• The parallel redundant system contains its own power source. Lethal  
voltages are present even when the UPS is disconnected from utility  
power.  
WARNING:  
Only AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL should perform service or  
maintenance on the parallel redundant system.  
If service or routine maintenance is required:  
• Ensure all power is disconnected before performing installation or service.  
• Ensure the area around the parallel redundant system is clean and  
uncluttered.  
• Battery cabinet maintenance or battery replacement should be performed  
only by authorized service personnel.  
• Observe all DANGER, CAUTION, and WARNING notices affixed to the  
inside and outside of the equipment.  
• Refer to the more detailed safety precautions described in the Powerware

1.1  
Installing the UPS  
The Switchboard System Bypass Module (SSBM) and UPMs of the Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant system are shipped on separate pallets. Use a forklift or pallet  
jack to move the packaged cabinets to the installation site, or as close as possible  
to the site, before unloading from the pallet.  
This is the basic sequence of the installation steps:  
1. Create an installation plan for the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system  
(Chapter 1).  
2. Prepare your site for the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system (Chapter 1).  
3. Inspect, unpack, and unload the SSBM (Chapter 1).  
4. Inspect, unpack, and unload the UPMs (refer to the applicable Powerware  
9315 Installation manual provided with the UPM).  
5. Wire the system (refer to Chapter 2 and the applicable Powerware9315  
Installation manual provided with the UPM).  
6. Install features, accessories, and/or options, as applicable (Chapter 3).  
7. Complete the Installation Checklist (Chapter 2).  
8. Have authorized service personnel perform preliminary operational checks and  
startup.  
NOTE: Startup and operational checks should be performed only by authorized  
service personnel. This service is usually offered as part of the sales  
contract for your Parallel Capacity/Redundant system. Contact service in  
advance (usually a two week notice is required) to reserve a preferred  
startup date.  
1.1.1  
Creating an Installation Plan  
Before beginning to install the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system, read and  
understand how this manual applies to the system being installed. Use the  
procedures and illustrations in the following chapters to create a logical plan for  
installing the system. It is important to note that UPM installation procedures are  
contained in the applicable Powerware9315 Installation manual provided with the  
UPMs. First understand how to install the UPMs before installing the SSBM. The  
information in Chapter 2 of this manual provides a guide to installation of the SSBM  
to the UPMs.

1.1.2  
Preparing Your Site  
For your Parallel Capacity/Redundant system to operate at peak efficiency, your  
installation site should meet the environmental parameters outlined in the  
operator’s manual for the SSBM and UPMs. If you intend to operate the system at  
an altitude higher than 1500 meters (5000 feet), contact your local sales or service  
office for important information about high altitude operation. The operating  
environment must meet the size and weight requirements shown in the enclosed  
vendor drawings.  
The basic environmental requirements for operation of the Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant system are:  
Ambient Temperature Range:  
0 --- 25˚C (32---77˚F)  
Recommended Operating Range: 20---25˚C (68 --- 77˚F)  
Maximum Relative Humidity:  
95% noncondensing  
The UPM cabinets use forced air cooling to regulate internal component temperature.  
The SSBM, battery and optional component cabinets use convection cooling to  
regulate internal component temperature. Air inlets are in the front of the cabinet, and  
outlets are in the top. You must allow clearance in front of and above each cabinet for  
proper air circulation.  
1.1.3  
Environment Considerations  
The life of the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system will be adversely affected if the  
installation does not meet the following guidelines:  
1. The system must be installed on a sealed concrete pad or a sealed concrete  
floor.  
2. The system must be installed in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of  
conductive contaminants.  
1.1.4  
Preparing for Wiring the Parallel Capacity/Redundant  
System  
NOTE: The external wiring and conduit sizings described in this manual are only  
provided as a recommended approach. Many design considerations may  
require an external wiring and conduit configuration much different than the  
examples provided in this manual. Applicable local codes and national  
codes must be followed.  
Table A in Appendix A covers SSBM and SMB power cabling for a 3∅ / 3W  
system. Table A is based on the entire 3∅ / 3W system being in a 25_C room  
ambient and the use of 90_C copper wire. The 500kcmil and 600kcmil cables  
are used as examples.  
Table B in Appendix A covers SSBM and SMB power cabling for a 3∅ / 4W  
system. Table B is based on the entire 3∅ / 4W system being in a 25_C room  
ambient, use of 90_C copper wire and a 0.80 derating factor because there are  
more than three current carrying conductors in a raceway (NEC Table 310---16  
and Notes). The 500kcmil and 600kcmil cables are used as examples.

NOTE: Two tables in Appendix A cover the cables running from the UPM output  
terminals to the SSBM module input terminals E8 (∅A), E9 (∅B), E10 (∅C),  
and E4 (Neutral)  
Table O covers the recommended wiring and conduit sizing based on the  
applicable Powerware 9315 Installation manual provided with the UPM. Using  
the noted power wiring, Table O shows the number of UPMs that can be  
connectedtoeach SSBM model. This number of UPMs is limitedby thenumber  
of cables connections for the SSBM module input terminals E8, E9, E10, and  
E4 shown in Table C in Appendix A.  
If the parallel capacity/redundant system requires the connection of more  
UPMs to the SSBM than is shown in Table O, refer to Table P. Table P covers  
the recommended wiring and conduit sizing to support connection of the  
maximum number of UPMs (up to eight) for each SSBM model.  
CAUTION:  
The UPM output wiring configurations in Table O in Appendix A do not match  
that shown in the applicable Powerware 9315 UPS Installation manual. Review  
the planned UPM output power cables to ensure the planned cabling is  
compatible with the available number of cable connections at both the UPM  
and SSBM terminals.  
Powerware UPMs are rated for operation in a 40_C room ambient. For this  
reason, Table O and P are based on the entire 3∅ / 3W system being housed  
in a 40_C room ambient, the use of 90_C copper wire and a 0.80 derating factor  
because there are more than three current carrying conductors in a raceway  
(NEC Table 310---16 and Notes).  
Refer to the applicable Powerware 9315 Installation manual provided with the  
UPM for all other UPM power cable requirements (AC input, DC input, and  
grounding)  
NOTE: Review Table C in Appendix A to ensure the planned power cable  
configuration is compatible with the available number of cable connections  
at each SSBM and SBM terminal.  
NOTE: If additional cable connections are required, consider using FCI HYSTACK  
Type ASA---U adapters. HYSTACK P/N ASA250U covers NEMA 2-hole  
terminals for wire sizes from #8 AWG to 250kcmil. HYSTACK P/N ASA800U  
covers NEMA 2-hole terminals for wire sizes from #8 AWG to 800kcmil.  
Care must be taken in HYSTACK adapters to ensure the required  
phase-to-phase clearance of 1 inch and phase-to-ground clearance of  
1 inch (1.5 inches in Canada) is maintained.  
For external wiring, including the recommended minimum AWG size of external  
wiring, see Tables A, B, O, and P in Appendix A. The power wiring connections for  
this equipment are rated at 90˚C. If wire is run in an ambient temperature greater  
than noted above, higher temperature and/or larger size wire may be necessary.  
Control wiring for PowerNet, EPO and optional accessories (such as building  
alarms, monitoring interface and Maintenance Bypass control) should be  
connected at the customer interface panel at the top of the SSBM Powernode  
Panel (A1), which is shown in drawing 164201373---12 in Appendix A.

5. To check the operation of the RMP, ensure that the Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant system is supplying the load via the inverters or bypass.  
If the indicators on the RMP show the appropriate status, then it is operating  
correctly.  
If the communications link between the SSBM and the RMP is not present, the  
RMP will self-test (all indicators flash and the horn beeps at one-second  
intervals). If this occurs, check all harness connectors and the fuse for proper  
seating. If all connections are secure but the RMP continues to self-test,  
replace the fuse with the spare included in the hardware kit. If this does not  
correct the problem, contact your local field service office for verification that  
the RMP is working correctly.  
6. To test the indicator lamps, press the horn silence button and hold it for  
3 seconds. All lamps should light, and the horn will sound continuously  
until you release the button.  
7. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 4 through 6 for each RMP you are installing.  
8. If you are installing an RIM or SCM in addition to an RMP, proceed to Chapter 5  
or 6, respectively; otherwise, secure the SSBM by reversing the steps  
contained in procedure “To Prepare the SSBM for Wiring to an RMP, RIM,  
SCM, or Remote EPO” of Chapter 2.

Understanding Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant System Operation  
7
The Switchboard System Bypass Module (SSBM) supports the normal operation of  
the Powerware9315 Parallel Capacity/Redundant system by offering parallel  
capacity/redundant capability. The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system continues  
to maintain power to the critical loads during commercial electrical power  
brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, and out-of-tolerance frequency  
conditions. Refer to Figure 164201373---3 in Appendix A of this manual for the  
detailed relationship of the SSBM and the UPMs.  
If utility power is interrupted or falls outside the parameters specified in the  
Powerware9315 Operation manual, the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system uses  
a backup battery supply to sustain power to the critical load for a specified period  
of time or until the utility power returns. For extended power outages, the backup  
battery supply allows you to either transfer to an alternate power system (such as a  
generator) or shut down the critical load in an orderly manner. Refer to the  
Powerware9315 Operation manual provided with the UPMs for operation of the  
UPMs.  
7.1  
Looking Inside the Parallel Capacity/Redundant  
System  
The output of the system is normally supplied by several Uninterruptible Power  
Modules (UPMs). Multiple UPMs are connected with their outputs in parallel to  
provide a load level greater than the rating of one UPM and for redundancy. The  
paralleled UPMs supply the output load with protected power as long as the load  
does not exceed the combined rating of the paralleled UPMs.  
The power system is denoted redundant as long as one of the UPMs can be  
disconnected from the output bus and the remaining UPMs can continue to supply  
power to the load without exceeding their ratings.  
The SSBM, contains switchgear and components that allow the the UPMs to be  
paralleled and the source of system output power to be transferred between  
Bypass and the paralleled UPMs.  
When the load is being supplied by the UPMs, the system output bus is  
continuously monitored by the SSBM for an over or under voltage condition. If an  
out of limits condition is detected, the SSBM will transfer the load to bypass using a  
high speed emergency bypass. The transfer will occur in less than 4 milliseconds.  
The emergency bypass consist of a static switch, a wraparound bypass breaker  
(CBP) and a backfeed protection breaker (FBP). The backfeed protection breaker  
is located in series with the static switch. If an SCR shorts, the breaker will open so  
that the UPMs will not backfeed the bypass source, dropping the load when a utility  
outage occurs.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
During maintenance, the output of the system can be supplied power through the  
bypass breakers in the SSBM or the optional System Maintenance Bypass (SMB).  
The bypass input and breaker must be rated for the total system load since it must  
supply all of the system load when on bypass. Manual transfers between the  
bypass source and the paralleled UPMs are verified make before break.  
Operations during transfers to bypass differ depending on the type of transfer:  
Manual or Emergency. Manual and Emergency transfers function as follows:  
Fully Rated Static Switch:  
For Manual transfers to bypass, the static switch is not used. During the transfer,  
CBP is closed and verified and then CBS is opened. For transfers of the load from  
bypass to the UPMs, CBS is closed and verified and then CBP is opened. The  
static switch is armed and ready during both types of transfers.  
For Emergency transfers to bypass, the static switch is turned on. During the  
transfer, CBP is closed and verified and then CBS is opened. The static switch  
turns off after a set time delay which allows the CBP and CBS breakers to complete  
their transfer.  
Communications is required between the SSBM and UPMs in the system for full  
system operation. System level communications and control are accomplished  
using a dual redundant network known as PowerNet. PowerNet consists of two  
independent networks that are connected to each component network node in the  
parallel system.  
Data is always transmitted on both networks simultaneously. Each network node  
monitors both PowerNets. Failure of one of the two will only result in an alarm  
condition. In addition, the applications at each node are designed such that  
messages can be lost on the network without affecting the operation of the system.

7.2  
Standard Modes of Parallel Operation:  
Normal, Battery, and Bypass Modes  
With the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system, the system continues to function  
automatically to supply AC electrical power to the critical load. There are three  
standard operation modes:  
• In Normal mode, Parallel Capacity/Redundant system functions normally,  
suppling clean, filtered power from the UPMs to the load.  
• In Bypass mode, the SSBM bypass input supplies the load and isolates the  
UPMs.  
• In Battery mode, the battery cabinet supplies DC power, which maintains UPM  
operation.  
The following descriptions provide the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system  
operating mode differences.

7.2.1  
Normal Mode  
In Normal mode, utility AC power is supplied to the UPMs. Power from the output  
of the UPMs is then supplied to the SSBM for parallel operation. The SSBM then  
supplies the critical load with clean, filtered AC power. The message “System  
Normal” appears in the status area of the Control Panel LCD screen.  
Figure 7---1 shows the path of electrical power through the Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant system when operating in Normal mode.

If the utility AC power is interrupted or is out of specification, the UPMs  
automatically switch to Battery mode to support the critical load with no  
interruption. When utility power returns, the UPMs return to Normal mode.  
If the UPMs becomes overloaded or unavailable, the SSBM switches to Bypass  
mode. The SSBM automatically returns to Normal mode when the error condition  
is cleared and system operation is restored within specified limits.

7.2.2  
Bypass Mode  
The SSBM automatically switches to Bypass mode if it detects a UPM overload,  
UPMs unavailable, load fault, or internal failure. The bypass source supplies the  
commercial AC power to the load directly.  
CAUTION:  
The critical load is not protected while the SSBM is in Bypass mode.

You can transfer the SSBM from Normal mode to Bypass mode manually.  
However, the SSBM switches automatically to Bypass mode whenever the UPMs  
can no longer supply the critical load. If the SSBM transfers to Bypass mode from  
Normal mode due to an output voltage deviation, the SSBM automatically attempts  
to transfer back to Normal mode (up to three times within a 10-minute period).  
The fourth transfer or an overload condition will lock the critical load on the bypass  
source and requires operator intervention to transfer.  
Bypass mode is a normal operating mode, and not an alarm condition. However, if  
the SSBM is unable to return to Normal mode following an automatic transfer to  
Bypass mode, an alarm condition will be recorded.

7.2.3  
Battery Mode  
The UPMs 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 batteries provide emergency DC power that the inverters convert to AC power.  
When the UPMs switch to Battery mode, the alarm indications depend on the  
cause and condition of the battery charge. The length of time the system can  
operate in Battery mode depends on loading and the battery supply capacity.

When the discharging battery voltage reaches the lower limit of UPM operational  
capability, the critical load is transferred by the SSBM to Bypass mode, if it is  
available. If Bypass input is not available, a “Shutdown Imminent” warning occurs.  
The warning time before critical load loss occurs is approximately 2 minutes,  
depending on battery capacity and the amount of loading.  
If incoming power returns to within specified parameters, the UPMs automatically  
return to Normal mode and alarm indications clear. However, the process of  
returning to Normal mode is not instantaneous. The UPMs gradually draw  
increasing power from the incoming utility until Normal mode is achieved.

Load Bank Mode  
The SSBM and SSBM with SMB are both equipped with Load Bank Tabs for the  
connection of a temporary load bank.  
The Load Bank Tabs allow load testing to be performed on the UPMs or Bypass  
input portion of the SSBM or SSBM with SMB.  
The SSBM comes standard with temporary Load Bank tabs only.  
Figure 7---4 shows the path of electrical power through an SSBM in Load Bank  
Mode with Load Bank tabs connected to a temporary Load Bank. Only UPM1 is  
shown under testing.  
Figure 7---5 shows the path of electrical power through an SSBM with SMB in Load  
Bank mode with Load Bank Tabs when connected to a temporary Load Bank. The  
SMB is in Maintenance Bypass mode carrying the Critical Load while UPM1 is  
shown under testing.  
WARNING:  
During testing, cables connecting the temporary load bank to the load  
bank tabs will have to exit the SSBM or SSBM with SBM via an open  
rear door. With the rear door open, personnel are exposed to  
energized buswork. To prevent injury from electrical shock, temporary  
barriers and warning signs should be established.

Optional Modes of Parallel Operation:  
Maintenance Bypass and Redundant CBP  
There are two optional modes of operation in this Parallel Capacity/Redundant  
system:  
• In Maintenance Bypass mode (optional), the SMB bypass supplies the load and  
isolates the SSBM and UPMs for maintenance purposes.  
• In Redundant CBP mode (optional), if the CBP breaker fails to close during a  
manual or automatic operation, the SSBM automatically closes the MBP  
breaker to maintain power to the critical load.  
The following descriptions provide the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system  
optional operating mode differences.

7.3.1  
Maintenance Bypass Mode (Optional)  
The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system can be manually transferred to  
maintenance bypass if the System Maintenance Bypass (SMB) has been provided.  
Maintenance bypass is used when the system is not operating or is in need of  
service. The maintenance bypass source supplies the commercial AC power to the  
load directly. The SMB is configured with electrical interlocks.  
CAUTION:  
The critical load is not protected while the Parallel Capacity/Redundant  
system is in Maintenance Bypass mode.  
Figure 7---6 shows the path of electrical power through the Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant system when operating in Maintenance Bypass mode.

7.3.2  
Redundant CBP Mode (Optional)  
The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system can be protected against failure of the  
CBP breaker to close if an electrically interlocked System Maintenance Bypass  
(SMB) with Redundant CBP controls has been provided. The Redundant CBP  
controls protect the critical load against power losses caused by CBP close failures  
during manual or automatic operations.  
Redundant CBP operations can be recognized by an alarm condition at the SSBM  
and the following breaker conditions:  
CBP OPEN  
CBS OPEN  
FBP OPEN  
MIS  
CLOSED  
MBP CLOSED  
CAUTION:  
The critical load is not protected while the Parallel Capacity/Redundant  
system is in Maintenance Bypass or Bypass mode.  
Once Redundant CBP operation has occurred, the SSBM must be isolated to allow  
CBP breaker maintenance without impact on the system’s critical load. To achieve  
SSBM isolation, the Redundant CBP controls have been interlocked with the  
System Maintenance Bypass controls. To exit from Redundant CBP operation, the  
SMB control switch must be turned to the TO MAINT position. This action opens  
the UPS system MIS breaker and places the the UPS system fully into Maintenance  
Bypass mode.  
After the CBP breaker has been repaired, the UPS system can be transferred from  
Maintenance Bypass mode to Bypass mode as described above.  
Figure 7---7 shows the path of electrical power through the Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant system when operating in Maintenance Bypass mode.

Operational Controls  
and Features  
8
8.1  
General  
The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system should function automatically and require  
very little attention during normal operation. The controls and indicators identified  
in this section are used during startup, to monitor normal operation and during  
abnormal events.  
Figure 8---1 (sheets 1 thru 4) identify and show the location of the controls and  
indicators on the typical Switchboard System Bypass Module (SSBM) control  
section. The following descriptions provide a brief overview of the SSBM controls,  
and standard and optional features.  
NOTE: Read the Operation section and have thorough knowledge of Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant operation before attempting to operate. For a more  
detailed description of UPS operation, refer to Powerware9315 Operation  
manual supplied with the UPS system.  
8.2  
SSBM Standard Features  
The SSBM has many standard features that provide cost-effective and consistently  
reliable power protection:  
8.2.1  
Control Panel  
The Control Panel on the front of the SSBM control section contains an LCD screen  
to display the current status of the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system. You can  
view a statistical history and log of system events and display a real-time graphic  
representation of power flowing through the system components. Backlit status  
indicators show the operating mode of the SSBM and alert you to system events.  
The SYSTEM MODE switch, also located on this panel, is used to start and stop the  
system and transfer the load between normal UPM operation and bypass operation.  
The EMERGENCY UPM OFF pushbutton is located at the top of the control panel,  
and the PUSH IN TO RESET button for EMERGENCY UPM OFF is located above  
the SYSTEM MODE switch. The Control Panel is described in chapter 9, “Using the  
Control Panel”.  
8.2.2  
SSBM Circuit Breakers  
The SSBM contains three circuit breakers, the System Output Breaker (CBS), the  
System Bypass Breaker (CBP), and the Backfeed Protection Breaker (FBP).  
CBS connects the output of the UPMs to the critical load. CBP is used as the  
bypass supply in the event the output of the UPMs are not available and to supply  
the critical load during maintenance. FBP is used to prevent power from being fed  
back to the UPMs in the event the static switch fails. These breakers are electrically  
controlled by the SSBM and are automatic in operation.

8.2.3  
SMB Circuit Breakers  
The System Maintenance Bypass (SMB) contains two breakers: the Maintenance  
Bypass Breaker (MBP) and the Maintenance Isolation Breaker (MIS). The MIS  
connects the output of the UPMs to the critical load via CBS. The MBP is used as  
the bypass in the event the output of the SSBM is not available and to supply the  
critical load during SSBM maintenance. These breakers are manually controlled  
through electrical interlocks which include a control switch mounted inside the  
Control Section on the A1 Panel.  
8.2.4  
Fully Rated Static Switch  
The fully rated static switch is connected in series with the FBP and is only gated  
on during emergency transfers from Normal to Bypass mode. The fully rated static  
switch is electrically controlled by the SSBM and is automatic in operation.  
8.2.5  
EMERGENCY UPM OFF  
An EMERGENCY UPM OFF pushbutton is provided for situations where you must  
instantaneously control the UPM and SSBM output. The pushbutton is located on  
the front of the SSBM for quick access and is covered with a clear plastic shield to  
prevent inadvertent operation. The shield must be raised before pressing the  
pushbutton. The EMERGENCY UPM OFF pushbutton is described in detail in  
Chapter 10, “Operating Instructions for the Parallel Capacity/Redundant System.”  
8.2.6  
Customer Interface Panel

Reading the Status Indicators  
The six symbols on the left side of the monitor panel are status indicators. They are  
backlit by colored light emitting diode (LED) lamps, and they work in conjunction  
with the alarm horn to let you know the operating status of the UPS.  
This green symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in  
Normal mode. The power processing unit (PPU) is  
supplying power to the critical load.  
NORMAL  
This yellow symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in  
Battery mode. Because Battery mode is a normal  
condition of the UPS, the Normal indicator also remains lit.  
Battery  
This yellow symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in  
Bypass mode. The critical load is supported by the  
bypass source. The Normal indicator is not lit when the  
system is in Bypass mode.  
Bypass  
Notice  
This yellow symbol is lit when the system needs attention.  
The LCD screen shows all active notices. Some notices  
may be accompanied by an audible horn. To silence the  
horn, press the  
and the  
pushbuttons  
simultaneously. The Notice indicator may be lit along with  
other indicators.  
This red symbol is lit when a situation requires immediate  
attention. The LCD screen shows the highest priority active  
alarms. All alarms are accompanied by an audible horn.  
Alarm  
To silence the horn, press the  
and the  
pushbuttons simultaneously. The Alarm indicator may be  
lit along with other indicators.  
This yellow symbol is lit when electricity is present in the  
PPU of the UPS and the Normal indicator is not lit. During  
normal startup, this indicator illuminates until the the UPS  
transfers to Normal mode, at which point the Normal  
indicator is lit. During normal shutdown, the Standby  
indicator is lit until all energy in the UPS is dissipated and  
shutdown is complete.  
Standby  
For more information about audible horns, refer to the “System Event Horns” section  
of Chapter 12.  
To test the LED lamps behind the status indicators, press the

Using Features and Options  
11.1 General  
11  
The many standard features of your Parallel Capacity/Redundant system Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant system provide consistent, economical, and dependable  
power protection. In addition, you can add available options to enhance the  
performance of your system. This chapter provides descriptions of some of the  
features and options introduced earlier in this manual. Refer to drawings  
164201373---4 and 164201373---13 in Appendix A for location of the customer  
interface panel and for terminal wiring information.  
NOTE: Refer to the applicable Powerware9315 Operation manual provided with  
the UPS for UPS features and options  
11.2 Building Alarm Monitoring  
This standard feature lets you connect the Switchboard System Bypass Module  
(SSBM) to your building alarms, such as smoke detectors or overtemperature  
alarms. The terminals for external connections are located inside the SSBM on the  
customer interface panel.  
Regardless of how you assign the building alarms, they display as Building Alarm 1,  
Building Alarm 2, Building Alarm 3, etc., on the LCD screen of the Monitor Panel. You  
should use twisted pair wires for each alarm input and common.  
If the SSBM is equipped for a Powerware Sync Control, Hot-Tie Control, or  
continuous duty static switch, not all Building Alarms will be available for customer  
use. See Appendix A, Drawing 164201373---4 for affected areas.  
If the SSBM is equipped with an optional System Maintenance Bypass (SMB), not  
all Building Alarms will be available for customer use. See Appendix A, Drawing  
164201373---4 for affected areas.  
11.3 General Purpose Relay Contacts  
Two general purpose relay contacts are provided as a standard feature on the  
SSBM. The alarm contacts (one notice and one alarm) are located inside the  
SSBM on the customer interface panel. Refer to drawings 164201373---4 and  
164201373---13 in Appendix A for location of the customer interface panel and  
for terminal wiring information.  
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 signal  
is issued. You can connect these contacts to equipment at your facility (such as a light  
or an alarm bell) to let you know when an alarm is active on the SSBM. This feature  
is useful if the SSBM is located in a remote area where the SSBM alarm horn may not  
be heard immediately.  
NOTE: In choosing contacts, note that Relay 1 is normally deenergized and is  
only energized for an alarm condition. Relay 2 is normally energized and is  
only deenergized for an alarm condition.  
CAUTION:  
Contacts should not be operated in excess of  
30 VAC or 42.4V peak AC or DC @ 1A maximum.

conditioned power to the critical load.  
NO REDUNDANCY  
This indicator applies only to parallel systems  
when one cabinet is not functioning. This  
feature is not available on this system.  
ON GENERATOR  
This alarm means that the UPS input and  
bypass are being supplied by the power from  
the generator, instead of from the utility power.  
ON BYPASS  
The bypass source is supplying the critical  
load. Usually this means that the UPS is not  
energized. The load is not protected in Bypass  
mode, and a horn sounds after 30 seconds.  
UPS ALARM  
The UPS system is issuing an alarm.  
Conditions that affect the current UPS mode  
are indicated by the alarm lamps and horn on  
the UPS.  
ON BATTERY  
The UPS battery backup is supplying the  
critical load. The utility power is either  
interrupted or out of specification. The  
SYSTEM NORMAL indicator is also lit.  
BYPASS UNAVAILABLE  
The UPS system is in Normal mode, but  
a bypass source is not within specification.  
A horn sounds after 30 seconds.  
SHUTDOWN IMMINENT

11.7 Common Battery Racks  
A Common battery rack can be used to supply the DC input to the Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant system UPS modules. This common rack would be used in  
place of the individual racks for each module. You can enhance the protection time  
provided by your Parallel Capacity/Redundant system by adding one or more  
battery racks. The battery racks should be equipped with sealed lead-acid,  
maintenance-free batteries. An external battery disconnect switch must be used.  
Refer to the applicable Powerware9315 Installation manual provided with the  
UPS for battery requirements and installation instructions.  
11.8 External Battery Disconnect for Common Battery Racks  
An optional external DC circuit breaker provides a manual means of disconnecting  
a battery rack from the UPS modules in the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system.  
The circuit breaker is enclosed in a wall-mounted box. You can install it anywhere  
between the remote DC supply and the UPS, according to national and local  
codes.  
The breaker switch should be set to ON for normal UPS operation when DC power  
is available at the UPS. When service personnel are performing maintenance on  
the UPS or battery cabinet, the switch should be set to OFF.  
Note 1: There is no DC disconnect device within the UPMs.  
Note 2: The DC input to the UPM is protected by internal fuses F21 and F22.  
Note 3: The UPM DC disconnect trip signal from TB4, points 1 and 2 (shunt trip)  
or TB4, points 1 and 3 (UV trip) must be connected to the DC source  
disconnect device(s). Each UPM must have a separate disconnect  
device.  
11.8.1 ModBus Cards  
The Powerware ModBus Card is an optional X---Slot connectivity device that allows  
you to continuously and reliably monitor the UPS system in your Building  
Management System (BMS). See Powerware ModBus Card User Guide  
164201376, and Powerware Expansion Chassis User Guide, 164201336 for details.

Responding to System Events  
12  
12.1 General  
When the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system is running in Normal mode, it  
continually monitors itself and the incoming utility power. In Battery or Bypass  
modes, the Switchboard System Bypass Module (SSBM) may issue alarms to let  
you know exactly what event caused the change from Normal mode. System  
events on the SSBM can be indicated by horns, lights, messages, or all three.  
Select Active from the Events menu on the LCD screen to look at the Active  
System Events screen. This screen shows any currently active alarms, notices,  
or commands.  
NOTE: Refer to the applicable Powerware9315 UPS Operation manual provided  
with the UPMs, for UPM system events.  
12.2 System Event Horns  
The system event horn beeps according to the type of event it is signifying:  
• When the UPS detects an alarm that requires your attention, the horn beeps at  
½-second intervals.  
• When a notice occurs, the horn beeps at 2-second intervals.  
12.3 System Event Lights  
The status indicators on the SSBM Control Panel work in conjunction with the  
event horn to let you know when the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system is  
operating in any mode other than Normal. Only the Normal indicator is visible  
during normal Parallel Capacity/Redundant system operation. The others light to  
indicate alarms or events. When an alarm occurs, you should first check these  
indicators to see what type of event has taken place. (For descriptions of the  
status indicators, refer to the “Reading the Status Indicators” section of Chapter 9.)

Serial Communications  
13  
13.1 Description  
This chapter describes the serial communications feature of the Powerware  
9315 Switchboard System Bypass Module (SSBM). Two serial communications  
ports on the SSBM allow you to connect equipment to view  
system event information.  
The following sections describe the serial communications feature, and provide  
information about connecting hardware, setting up the ports, changing settings,  
and changing modes.  
13.2 Locating the Communications Panel  
The Customer Interface Panel inside the SSBM contains two serial communications  
ports, one DB---9 and one DB---25. The ports provide a computer interface to a  
Remote Monitor Panel (RMP), Relay Interface Module (RIM), Supervisory Contact  
Module (SCM), or remote terminal and/or printer. The Communications Panel also  
contains terminals (TB1 thru TB7) for connecting your equipment to the SSBM.  
Refer to drawings 164201373---4 and 164201373---13 in Appendix A for location of  
the Customer Interface Panel inside the SSBM.  
13.3 Connecting Equipment to a Serial Port  
The SSBM is designed to accept a wide variety of Data Communication Equipment  
(DCE) such as terminals, printers, and computers to each port. Set up the remote  
equipment using the appropriate parameters for the mode you select. The  
following section provides more information about configuration.  
The cables you use for connection depend on the equipment you are connecting  
to the SSBM. Cables should be no longer than 16m (50 ft). The connectors for  
Port 1 and Port 2 on the Communications Panel in the SSBM are female, so the  
cables into the SSBM should be male. Figure 13---1 shows the pin assignments for  
Port 1, and Table 13---1 describes them. Figure 13---2 shows the pin assignments  
for Port 2, and Table 13---2 describes them.

The operational mode of the port. Each communications port operates in one of  
the following modes:  
Terminal mode  
Calibration  
System events are logged immediately as they occur.  
Used only by service personnel.  
System Config. Allows you to set building alarms, battery tests, etc.  
(Check with your Sales or Service Representative for availability.)  
Computer  
Provides a proprietary Binary Computer Mode (BCM) Interface  
for Powerware facility monitoring or network communication via  
ConnectUPS.  
Remote Monitor Sends all system event information to an RMP, RIM, or SCM.  
Available for Port 1 only.  
Port 1 and Port 2 cannot be in the same mode simultaneously; they must always be  
operating in different modes. The modes are described later in this chapter.  
13.4.2 Rate  
The baud rate of the equipment connected to this port. The baud rate determines  
the speed of data transferred between the SSBM and the connected equipment.  
For Remote Monitor mode, the baud rate must be set to 300. All other modes  
should operate at the highest baud rate available with the connected equipment.  
300 baud is not recommended for any mode except Remote Monitor.  
You can select a baud rate of 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19,200.

13.4.3 Data/Stop  
The data size and stop bits of the equipment connected to this port. These  
settings determine the number of bits transmitted per ASCII character. The data  
size and stop bits you specify depend on the configuration of your equipment.  
For Port 1, the data size must be set to 8, with 1 or 2 stop bits. Settings of 7 data  
bits/1 stop bit and 7 data bits/2 stop bits are available for Port 2.  
NOTE: When connecting a computer running a terminal emulation program, you  
should set your equipment to NO PARITY.  
13.4.4 Handshaking  
This setting controls handshaking. You can select XON/XOFF or Disabled for this  
setting.  
D Disabled (No Handshaking)  
If handshaking is disabled, the SSBM transmits and receives data via the serial  
port, ignoring all inputs from handshaking lines.  
D XON/XOFF  
If handshaking is enabled, the SSBM uses special characters (XON and XOFF) to  
handshake with the host terminal. The XON character is defined to be ASCII value  
11 hex, and the XOFF character is defined to be ASCII value 13 hex. Upon  
reception of an XOFF command, the SSBM halts transmission until an XON  
command is received. In the same way, if the terminal receives an XOFF  
command, the SSBM expects the terminal to halt transmission until the SSBM  
sends an XON command.  
13.4.5 Save  
Set to YES to save any changes to configuration settings upon exit from the Setup  
screen. Set to NO if you do not want to save any changes.  
13.4.6 Default Settings  
The following are the default configuration settings for the serial communications  
ports:  
Port 1  
Port 2  
Remote Monitor 300 baud 8/1 Handshaking Disabled  
Terminal 9600 baud 8/1 Handshaking Disabled  
Each communications port on the SSBM operates in one of five modes which you  
select when configuring the port using the Setup Port screen.

Remote Notification  
14  
14.1 Description  
Remote Notification provides the user with the option of receiving alarms and  
notices at a remote location. Remote Notification operates through a standard  
computer modem. Using the Terminal mode, the user calls the Switchboard  
System Bypass Module (SSBM) to perform basic monitoring. In the event of a  
SSBM alarm or notice, the user is notified at the remote location. The SSBM calls,  
through the modem, to the user’s computer or pager and leaves a message.  
Remote Notification is an extension of the Terminal mode with the additional  
support algorithms necessary to control an external modem (refer to Chapter 13,  
“Serial Communications”). Connection to the SSBM is made when a user calls the  
SSBM on the phone. The user has exactly the same capabilities as if using a  
terminal connected directly to the SSBM RS---232 port. Remote Notification differs  
from the basic Terminal mode with the addition of Call Answer, Call Out, and  
Housekeeping functions. The Call Answer function allows the user to call into the  
SSBM from a remote location and enter Terminal mode. The Call Out function  
allows the SSBM to be configured to call either a remote computer or numeric  
paging service over the phone line. Call Out allows the SSBM to call a remote  
computer and leave a one-line descriptive message of the alarm or notice  
condition. Numeric paging support allows the SSBM to call a paging service and  
send numeric messages. The Housekeeping function maintains the link between  
the SSBM and modem.

14.2 Remote Notification Features  
Remote Notification provides the SSBM with the capability to utilize a standard  
off-the-shelf PC modem as a telephone interface. The features provided by this  
option are as follows:  
• Call out to a remote terminal or pager based on programmable events and  
alarms.  
• Two separate, programmable notification groups (phone numbers).  
• Programmable number of redial attempts.  
• Programmable time delay between call out attempts.  
• Automatic answering (user configurable) for access to the Terminal mode of  
the SSBM.  
• Remote and local ability to clear Call Out alarms and events.  
• Error detection and correction for misconfigured and disconnected modems.  
• Uses standard modems and null modem cables available at your local  
computer supply center.  
NOTE: Programmable functions are to be set by Powerware Corporation authorized  
personnel only.  
14.3 Description of Operation  
The Remote Notification option performs three basic functions: Call Answer into  
Terminal mode, Call Out to a remote terminal, and Housekeeping. Remote  
Notification also allows access to any functions available in the Terminal mode  
from a remote computer or terminal.  
14.3.1 Call Answer  
When the modem receives a call, the SSBM is alerted to wait for a connect signal  
from the modem. When the modem answers and finishes handshaking, the SSBM  
acknowledges the modem connect signal and allows the caller into the Terminal  
mode (refer to Chapter 13, “Serial Communications”). In this mode, the user can  
request four items and perform one command:  
NOTE: The brackets ([ ]) in the following steps indicate standard keyboard  
characters.  
• Display all screens (^B, ^M, ^P). Press and hold [CTRL], then press [A].  
• Display battery test results by pressing and holding [CTRL], then pressing [B].  
• Display meters screen by pressing and holding [CTRL], then pressing [M].  
• Display event history by pressing and holding [CTRL], then pressing [P].  
• Reset Call Out Alarms by pressing and holding [CTRL], then pressing [R].  
The Reset Call Out Alarms command causes the SSBM to cease Call Out attempts  
on a currently active alarm and resets that alarm call. Refer to the “Call Out”  
section of this chapter for more information when calling a pager or if a failed  
connection to a PC terminal.

14.3.2 Call Out  
The Call Out function contains programmable alarms (setup by service personnel)  
and status events (refer to Chapter 12, “Responding to System Events”). The  
notification groups tell the SSBM to notify a remote computer or pager for each  
selected event. Refer to the “Configuring the Modem” section of this chapter for  
information on the modem configuration. Refer to the “User-Selected Events”  
section of this chapter to note which events are designated as group one or two.  
These events are selected when the SSBM is purchased. The Call Out function  
activates as follows:  
• A SSBM alarm or notice occurs that is programmed to cause a Call Out.  
• The SSBM takes the modem off the hook and sends a command to the modem  
to call the notification groups (phone numbers) required. The phone are stored  
in the modem only. The command sent to the modem for group one is  
“ATDS0” and “ATDS1” for group two. This allows the user to program the  
desired phone numbers into the modem.  
• The SSBM logs a successful notify to the event log when the remote computer  
or modem answers and leaves an event message with the following format.  
nnn<space>mmm<LF><CR> where:  
nnn  
=
UPS_Remote_Notification---Default (40 characters maximum)  
<space> = ASCII space character (0x20)  
mmm  
<LF>  
<CR>  
=
=
=
Event message for notice or alarm (40 characters maximum)  
ASCII line feed character (0x0A)  
ASCII carriage return character (0x0D)  
If calling a pager service and the service answers, the modem can delay  
momentarily and before dialing the pager number. Refer to “Configuring the  
Modem to Call a Numeric Pager” section of this chapter for more information.  
NOTE: Because the pager service is not a modem, the SSBM does not know if its  
message got through; therefore, the SSBM continues to call the pager  
service for a programmed number of times or until a call-in reset is  
performed or the key on the front panel is reset. An unsuccessful notify  
event is logged into the SSBM event log for each attempted call out.  
If the phone number that the SSBM is calling does not answer, the SSBM delays  
for a time period (programmable from 1 to 60 minutes) and then reattempts the  
call. If answered, the SSBM ceases further attempts to call. Each unsuccessful  
attempt to call causes an unsuccessful notify event to be logged into the SSBM  
event log.  
If both call groups are active, the SSBM alternates between calling the groups.  
The Call Out process can be terminated at any time by calling into the SSBM and  
sending the reset command (press and hold [CTRL] and press [R]) or by turning  
the key switch on the front of the SSBM.

14.3.3 Housekeeping  
When the modem is idle, the SSBM “pings” (tests for connection) the modem by  
sending an “AT” to the modem at five-minute intervals. If the modem does not  
respond correctly, by sending either “OK” or “0” to the SSBM, the SSBM attempts  
to re-initialize the modem. After a successful re-initialization, the SSBM returns to  
the Housekeeping function. If the re-initialization is unsuccessful, two more  
attempts to re-initialize the modem are made before the SSBM disables all Call Out  
attempts. Re-initialization is then attempted every ten minutes or until the  
communications mode is changed by the SSBM front panel controls (or the  
modem is successfully re-initialized). For each unsuccessful attempt, the SSBM  
logs a modem failure event into the event log. When the modem link is confirmed,  
the SSBM communications resume normal operation and Call Out is enabled.  
14.4 Hardware Requirements

14.5 Configuring the Modem  
The modem must be programmed with the Call Out telephone numbers in order to  
operate the Remote Notification option.  
To configure the modem, connect the serial port of a standard PC computer to  
the modem through the serial cable. Run a terminal emulation program on the  
computer. Test the connection to the modem by typing [A], [T] and [ENTER].  
The modem should respond with either “OK” or “0” (zero). If the modem does not  
respond, consult the modem manufacturer’s manual to confirm your setup. If the  
modem still does not respond, then seek technical assistance from your modem  
manufacturer.  
After connection, perform “Basic Modem Configuration” and the remaining  
sections of this chapter.  
14.5.1 Basic Modem Configuration  
The basic modem should be a plug and play type. All setup is done by the UPS.  
Only the initial phone number needs to be entered by the user.

14.5.2 Configuring the Modem to Call a Remote Computer  
To configure the modem to call a remote computer, perform the following  
procedure:  
NOTE: The brackets ([ ]) in the following steps indicate characters that require  
keying in prior to pressing [ENTER].  
1. Connect the modem to the PC through the serial port as described in the modem  
manufacturer’s manual .  
2. Key in [A], [T], then press [ENTER].  
3. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).  
NOTE: In steps 4 and 5, the “xxxxxxx” is the phone number of a remote computer.  
The phone number should include all local line and long distance access  
numbers needed to dial out. This number is limited to 32 characters. For  
example, use “9” if needed for an outside line, “1” for long distance + (Area  
Code) + Number or whatever access codes are needed to dial the call  
directly. Add a “,” in the number anywhere that a delay is needed. This will  
cause a one-second delay. More than one delay may be added to the  
number; for example, enter “AT&Z0=T,9,,1 (Area Code) (Phone Number)”.  
4. To program a group one number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [0] (zero), [=], [T], [,],  
[xxxxxxx], then press [ENTER].  
5. To program a group two number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [1], [=], [T], [,], [xxxxxxx],  
then press [ENTER].  
6. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).  
7. Key in [A], [T], [&], [W], [0] (zero), then press [ENTER].  
9. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).  
8. Key in [A], [T], [&], [Y], [0] (zero), then press [ENTER].  
9. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).  
10. Connect a telephone line to the modem and test the modem by keying in [A], [T],  
[D], [S], = [0] (zero), then pressing [ENTER].  
11. The modem dials the telephone number stored in step 4. (The number is  
displayed on the terminal screen as it is dialed.) Repeat steps 4 through 9 as  
necessary to modify the telephone number.  
12. Confirm that the modem responds with “1” (one) or ”Connect” when the  
connection is made.  
NOTE: To set up a group one or group two pager number, refer to “Configuring the  
Modem to Call a Numeric Pager” section of this chapter.

14.5.3 Configuring the Modem to Call a Numeric Pager  
To configure the modem to call a numeric pager system, perform the following  
procedure.  
NOTE: The brackets ([ ]) in the following steps indicate characters that require  
keying in prior to pressing [ENTER].  
1. Connect the modem to the PC through the serial port as described in the modem  
manufacturer’s manual .  
2. Key in [A], [T], then press [ENTER].  
3. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).  
NOTE: In steps 4 and 5 the “xxxxxxx” is the pager system number and “yyyyyyy” is the  
numeric message (usually a phone number). The three“[,]” provide a delay while  
the pager system computer answers. The “xxxxxxx” entry should include all local  
line and long distance access numbers needed to dial out, as well as the pause  
necessary between dialing the pager service and sending the pager the numeric  
message. This number is limited to 32 characters. For example, use “9” if needed  
for an outside line, “1” for long distance + (Area Code) + Number or whatever  
access codes are needed to dial the call directly. Add a “,” in the number  
anywhere that a delay is needed. This causes a one-second delay. More than one  
delay may be added to the number; for example, enter “AT&Z0=T,9,,1 (Area Code)  
(Phone Number) (Pauses) (Numeric Message)”. For areas with pulse dialing, the  
“T” should be inserted before the numeric message to switch to tone dialing. The  
numeric message can only be delivered using tone dialing. Keying in the “#”  
(pound) character at the end of the numeric message is very important. It  
prevents the pager service from picking up on the modem hang-up  
commands and sending additional characters.  
4. To program a group one number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [0] (zero), [=], [T], [,],  
[xxxxxxx], [,], [,], [,], [yyyyyyy], [#], then press [ENTER].  
5. To program a group two number, key in [A], [T], [&], [Z], [1], [=], [T], [,], [xxxxxxx],  
[,], [,], [,], [yyyyyyy], [#], then press [ENTER].  
6. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).  
7. Key in [A], [T], [&], [W], [0] (zero), then press [ENTER].  
6. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).  
7. Key in [A], [T], [&], [W], [0] (zero), then press [ENTER].  
8. Confirm that the modem responds with “OK” or “0” (zero).  
9. Connect a telephone line to the modem and test the modem by keying in [A], [T],  
[D], [S], [0] (zero), then pressing [ENTER].  
10. The modem dials the telephone number stored in step 4 or step 5. (The number is  
displayed on the terminal screen as it is dialed.) Confirm that the pager receives  
the message. Repeat steps 4 (or 5) through 9 as required to modify the telephone  
number and message.  
NOTE: To set up a group one or group two number to call a computer, refer to  
“Configuring the Modem to Call a Remote Computer” section of this chapter.

14.6 SSBM Setup Configuration  
Connect the modem to the SSBM by connecting one end of the serial cable to the  
UPS Port 2 DB---25F connector and the other to the modem (refer to Chapter 13,  
“Serial Communications”). If using a standard serial cable, a null modem adapter  
is required for the connection to the modem.  
The Powerware 9315 SSBM can only use serial Port 2, DB---25F, for the Remote  
Notification option. This connection is located on the Customer interface Panel at  
the top right of the SSBM cabinet.  
The remote modem operates at only 2400 baud.  
Following the instructions in Chapter 9, “Using the Control Panel” and Chapter 13,  
“Serial Communications”, use the LCD screen and pushbuttons on the Monitor  
Panel to access the setup screen and configure Port 2 as follows.  
NOTE: The modem should be connected to the SSBM as described in the modem  
manufacturer’s manual before configuring the SSBM communications port.  
<MODE>  
<RATE>  
Remote Notify  
The baud rate at which the modem will communicate  
to other modems, 2400 baud.  
<DATA/STOP>  
<HANDSHAKING>  
<SAVE>  
8 1 Standard 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.  
Disabled  
Yes. To save new configuration.  
The handshaking feature listed is for SSBM-to-terminal handshaking, not  
SSBM-to-modem handshaking. Setting the handshaking to “modem” has no  
effect. If the remote terminal has buffering problems because of excessive data  
transfer rate from the SSBM, XON/XOFF handshaking can be selected to resolve  
this issue. The user must make sure that the modem (not the remote terminal) at  
the remote terminal end of the connection is configured for either hardware  
handshaking or none at all. This is required so that the modem does not attempt  
to trap the XON/XOFF characters and prevent them from being transmitted to the  
SSBM.

Maintaining the Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant System  
15  
15.1 General  
You must schedule periodic performance checks of your Parallel Capacity/Redundant  
system to keep it running properly. Regular routine checks of operation and system  
parameters will enable your system to function efficiently for many trouble-free years.  
NOTE: Refer to the applicable Powerware9315 Operation manual provided with  
the UPS for UPS maintenance.  
15.2 Important Safety Instructions  
Remember that your Parallel Capacity/Redundant system is designed to supply  
power EVEN WHEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE UTILITY POWER. The UPS  
module interiors are unsafe until the DC power source is disconnected and the  
electrolytic capacitors are discharged. The SSBM is unsafe until the UPS modules  
have been powered down and bypass power has been removed. After  
disconnecting the utility power and the DC power, authorized service personnel  
should wait at least 5 minutes before attempting internal access to the UPS  
module.  
WARNING:  
Servicing and maintenance should be performed by  
qualified service personnel only.  
WARNING: LETHAL VOLTAGE PRESENT.  
This unit should not be operated with the cabinet doors open or protective  
panels removed. Do not make any assumptions about the electrical state of any  
cabinet in the UPS system.  
Since each battery rack is an energy source in itself, opening the Battery Circuit  
Breaker does not de-energize the voltage within the battery rack. DO NOT  
ATTEMPT TO ACCESS ANY INTERNAL AREA OF THE BATTERY RACK  
YOURSELF. VOLTAGES ARE ALWAYS PRESENT IN THE BATTERY RACK.  
If you suspect that a battery rack needs service, you should contact your local  
Powerware field service office.  
If the rack requires service, refer to the battery rack manufacturer’s operating  
manual for instructions on battery rack maintenance, or contact your local  
Powerware field service office.

Observe these precautions when working on or around battery racks:  
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.  
• Use tools with insulated handles.  
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.  
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries or battery cabinets.  
• Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting terminals.  
• Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If it is, remove the source of  
the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical  
shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are  
removed during installation and maintenance.  
• When replacing batteries, use the same number of sealed, lead-acid batteries.  
• Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal  
requirements.  
WARNING: HAZARDOUS WASTE.  
Do not incinerate or dispose of batteries  
indiscriminately. Observe local and national codes.  
WARNING:  
Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode.  
Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is  
harmful to the skin and eyes, and may be toxic.  
A battery can cause electrical shock, burn from high short-circuit current, or  
fire. Observe proper precautions.  
ATTENTION:  
Une batterie peut prêsenter un risque de choc êlectrique, de brulure, ou  
d’incendie. Suivre les précautions qui s’imposent.  
• Pour le remplacement, utiliser le même nombre et modéle des batteries.  
• L’élimination des batteries est règlementée. Consulter les codes locaux à cet  
effet.

15.3 Performing Preventive Maintenance  
The Parallel Capacity/Redundant system requires very little preventive  
maintenance. However, the system should be inspected periodically to verify that  
the units are operating normally and that the batteries are in good condition.  
Perform the following checks DAILY:  
• Check the area surrounding the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system. Ensure  
the area is not cluttered, allowing free access to the unit.  
• Ensure the air intakes (vents on the front doors) and exhaust opening  
(on top of the UPS cabinet and SSBM) are not blocked.  
• Ensure there is at least six inches of clearance behind the unit for proper air  
circulation.  
• Ensure the operating environment is within the parameters specified in  
Chapter 16, “Product Specifications.”  
• Ensure the SSBM and UPS modules are in Normal mode (Normal status  
indicator is lit). If alarm lamps are lit or the Normal status indicators are not lit,  
contact Powerware Customer Support.  
Perform the following checks MONTHLY:  
• Ensure all status indicator lamps are operative. (Press the  
and  
pushbuttons simultaneously to test the lamps.)  
• Monitor system parameters as described in Chapter 9, “Using the Control  
Panel.”  
• Check the air filters in UPS modules (located behind the front doors) and  
replace them as necessary. The filter size is 16 in. x 20 in. x 1 in.  
• Record the results of your checks and any corrective actions in a suitable log.  
ANNUAL maintenance:  
Annual preventive maintenance should be performed only by authorized service  
personnel familiar with maintenance and servicing of the Parallel  
Capacity/Redundant system. Contact your nearest Powerware field service office  
for more information about service offerings.  
BATTERY maintenance:  
Contact your nearest Powerware field service office for battery maintenance.  
Battery replacement and maintenance should be performed only by authorized  
service personnel.

15.4 Short Circuits  
Normally, the overcurrent protective device on the circuit will prevent any electrical  
damage except at the actual point of short-circuit. A thorough inspection of the  
entire system after any large fault current should be made to ensure that there has  
been no mechanical damage to conductors, insulation, or equipment.  
In addition, the individual overcurrent protective device or devices which performed  
the short-circuit interruption must be inspected for possible arcing damage to  
contacts, arc chutes and/or insulation.  
15.5 Circuit Breakers  
Refer to General Electric Document GEH---6271, Installation Instructions for  
PowerBreakII Circuit Breakers/DrawOut 800---4000 Ampere Frames, for  
recommended circuit breaker maintenance.  
15.6 Maintenance Training  
A basic training course, available from Powerware Corporation, gives you a  
competent working knowledge of the Parallel Capacity/Redundant system  
operation and teaches you how to perform first level corrective maintenance.  
For more information about training and other services, contact the Powerware  
Corporation Training Coordinator in Raleigh, North Carolina, or call Powerware

Read and understand the following notes while planning your installation:  
1. Refer to national and local electrical codes for acceptable external wiring practices.  
2. Material and labor for external wiring requirements are to be provided by designated  
personnel.  
3. For external wiring, use 90°C copper wire.  
See the appropriate column in Tables A, B, and O.  
4. Refer to the appropriate UPS installation manual for UPS module and optional equipment  
installation notes.  
5. A bypass neutral feeder must be installed when the output neutral is used. If no bypass  
neutral is installed, the output neutral is to be bonded to the chassis in the SSBM through  
a minimum size copper conductor listed in Table H on Sheet 3 of Drawing 164201373---3.  
In either case, fully rated neutral conductors are to be run from the output of each UPM to  
the neutral buss bar inside the SSBM.  
NOTE: The required neutral conductors must be spread evenly as possible between  
the available neutral runbacks.  
6. External overcurrent protection is not provided by this product, but is required by codes.  
Refer to Tables A, B, and O for wiring requirements. If an output lockable disconnect is  
required, it is to be supplied by designated personnel.  
7. Terminals E1 through E17 are 2-hole bus bar mountings for standard NEMA 2-hole barrel  
lugs. The Frame Ground is a single hole bus bar mounting for NEMA 1-hole barrel lugs.  
Refer to Table C for power cable terminations. Refer to drawing 164201373---13 for the  
location of the power cable terminals inside the SSBM.  
8. The system supports either a single common battery shared by all UPS modules or a  
separate battery for each UPS module. The system supports either valve regulated lead  
acid batteries or flooded (wet cell) batteries.  
9.The rectifier inputs and bypass input three phase feeds should be symmetrical about ground,  
due to the existence of voltage surge protection devices.  
10. The line-to-line unbalanced output capability of the UPS is limited only by the full load per  
phase current values for AC output to critical load. The recommended line-to-line load  
unbalance is 50% or less.  
11. The SSBM can be equipped for separate input feeds for the SSBM Bypass input and the  
SMB Bypass input or for a single input feed for both the SSBM Bypass Input and the SMB  
Bypass Input.

1. Two redundant PowerNet control networks connect UPM module to UPM module and  
UPM module to the SSBM. Each network requires only one shielded twisted pair of wires.  
2. Refer to drawing 164201373---13 for location of the Customer Interface panel (A1).  
3. Use Class 1 wiring methods (as defined by the NEC) for control wiring. Install the control  
wiring in separate conduits from the power wiring. Install the twisted pair of each  
redundant PowerNet network in separate conduits. The wire should be rated at 24 volts,  
1 amp minimum. The recommended wire for the PowerNet network is shielded 20 gauge  
twisted pair Belden 8762 (Powerware Part Number 175090703) or equivalent. The  
recommended wire for the optional Network Power Supply panel (A13) for Powerware  
9315---625/750 UPMs is 14 gauge twisted pair.  
4. Control wiring run may not exceed 100 meters.  
5. Refer to sheet 2 for typical control wiring routing. Use Arrangement C for a more robust  
network.  
6. Connect control wiring and terminating resistor (if applicable ) to the removable portion of  
the terminal block.  
7. Terminate each redundant PowerNet network at the end modules in the system. Use a  
120 ohm, 1/4 watt, 5% resistor (Powerware Part Number 141202041). Refer to sheet 2 for  
typical termination points.  
8. If SSBM is to be terminated, install terminating resistors onto terminal block TB1. Refer to  
sheet 3 for terminal location. Connect each resistor across terminals 1 and 2 and 6 and 7.  
9. Refer to Tables I, J, and K, and to applicable chapters for information about installing  
control wiring.

wiring in separate conduits from the power wiring. Install the twisted pair of each  
redundant PowerNet network in separate conduits. The wire should be rated at 24 volts,  
1 amp minimum. The recommended wire for the PowerNet network is shielded 22 gauge  
twisted pair Belden 8761 or equivalent.  
4. Control wiring run may not exceed 100 meters.  
5. Connect control wiring and terminating resistor (if applicable) to the removable portion of  
the terminal block.  
6. Terminate each redundant PowerNet network at the end modules in the system. Use a  
120 ohm, 1/4 watt, 5% resistor (Powerware Part Number 141202041). Refer to drawing  
164201373---4, sheet 2 for typical termination points.  
7. Install terminating resistors onto appropriate UPM PowerNet Interface Panel terminal block.

1. The Remote EPO feature shuts down the UPS modules, opens all breakers in the  
Switchboard System Bypass Module and isolates power from your critical load. Local  
electrical codes may also require tripping upstream protective devices to the UPS  
modules.  
2. To open all UPM breakers, a separate twisted pair of wires and an EPO Kit (sold  
separately) must be installed to the modules from the SSBM.  
3. Use Class 1 wiring methods (as defined by the NEC) for control wiring. Install the control  
wiring in separate conduit from the power wiring. The wire should be rated at 24 volts,  
1 amp minimum.  
4. Refer to Table N of this drawing and to applicable chapters for information about installing  
control remote EPO.  
5. Refer to drawings 164201373---4 and 164201373---13 for location of the Customer Interface

LIMITED FACTORY WARRANTY FOR THREE-PHASE POWERWARE PRODUCTS  
This Warranty applies only to units installed in the Fifty (50) United States of America. Subject  
to the conditions herein, Powerware Corporation (Powerware) warrants solely to the initial  
end---user the electronics (the “Unit”) against defects in material and workmanship for a period  
of 12 months from the date of equipment start up or 18 months from date of receipt by end-user,  
whichever occurs first.  
If, in the opinion of Powerware, the Unit fails to meet published specifications and the defect is  
within the terms of this warranty, the Unit will be repaired or replaced at the option of Powerware  
with no charge for replacement parts. Labor required, to make the repairs or replacement  
installation, and travel costs incurred by Powerware’s representatives, is not included under the  
terms of this Limited Warranty, except for labor required during the first 90 days after the date  
of delivery, provided that startup, of the unit onsite, has been performed by Powerware.  
Equipment sold, but not manufactured, by Powerware, e.g., batteries and only the manufacturer  
of such equipment shall warrant battery racks. Equipment repaired or replaced pursuant to this  
warranty will be warranted for the remaining portion of the original warranty subject to all the  
terms thereof.  
This warranty does not apply to any Unit that has been subject to neglect, accident, abuse,  
misuse, misapplication, incorrect installation, or that has been subject to repair or alteration, not  
authorized in writing by Powerware’ personnel, Purchaser shall be invoiced for, and shall pay  
for, all services not expressly provided for by the terms hereof, including, without limitation, site  
calls involving an inspection which determines no corrective maintenance is required. THIS  
WARRANTY IS THE PURCHASER’S (USER’S) SOLE REMEDY AND IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF,  
AND THERE ARE NOT OTHER, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES  
(INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY  
PURPOSE, WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED). In no case will Powerware’s’ liability under  
this Warranty exceed the replacement value of the Unit warranted.  
Powerware’s obligation, under said warranty, is expressly conditioned upon receipt by  
Powerware of all payments due it (including interest charges, if any). During such time as  
Powerware has not received payment of any amount due to Powerware, in accordance with the  
Contract terms under which the equipment is sold, Powerware shall have no obligation, under  
said warranty; also during this time, the period of said warranty shall continue to run and the  
expiration of said warranty shall not be extended upon payment of the overdue amount. These  
limitations, to said warranty, apply even in the event that the equipment is sold initially by  
Powerware for resale to an ultimate end-user.  
In no event shall Powerware be liable for any indirect, incidental special or consequential  
damages of any kind or type whatsoever, or based on any claim or cause of action, however  
denominated. Powerware shall not be responsible for failure to provide service or parts due to  
causes beyond Powerware’s’ reasonable control. This limited warranty applies only to the  
original end user of the unit.  
Cost for replacement equipment, installation, material freight charges travel expenses and labor  
of Powerware representatives will be borne by the Purchaser (user). Any advice furnished the  
Purchaser before or after delivery in regard to use or application of Powerware equipment is  
furnished without charge and on the basis that it represents Powerware’s best judgment under  
the circumstances. The use of any such advice by the Purchaser is solely and entirely at its own  
risk.
