Introduction
1.1.1 UPS Safety Checklist
This Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is to be installed by people trained in
the safe use of high-energy power supplies and their batteries. Also assumed is
knowledge of the local electrical code(s) and their safe application.
DANGER: NEVER let water from rain, a hose, tap or a sprinkler’s output, road
splash or other water sources enter the UPS to prevent accidental shorts,
shocks or electrocutions.
Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.
Read this manual. If you have any questions about safe installation, operation or
maintenance, contact Alpha Technologies’s customer service department.
Carefully unpack the components. Report any shipping or other damage at once.
Always assume electrical connections or conductors are live. Turn off all circuit breakers
and double-check with a voltmeter before performing installation or maintenance.
Before installation, verify the input voltage and current requirements of the load are met by
the UPS’s output (See specications). Verify the line voltage and current meet the UPS’s
input requirements.
Place a warning label on the utility panel to tell emergency personnel a UPS is installed.
Use proper lifting techniques when lifting or moving the UPS or its components.
This UPS has more than one live circuit. AC power may be present at the outputs even if
the UPS is disconnected from line or battery power.
This UPS can be operated to a maximum operating temperature of 55°C. Also see the
specications section for temperature ratings.
At high ambient temperature conditions, the UPS’s surface can be very hot to the touch.
There is a Lithium battery inside the UPS. There is a danger of an explosion if it is
incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the same type or an equivalent battery as
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of the old battery as instructed by the
manufacturer.

Introduction
1.1.2 Battery Safety Checklist
Battery Emergency Procedures
If electrolyte splashes on your skin, immediately wash the affected area with
water. If electrolyte gets into your eyes, wash them for at least 10 minutes with
clean running water or a special neutralizing eye wash solution. Seek medical
attention at once.
Neutralize spilled electrolyte with special neutralizing solutions in a “spill kit”
or a solution of 1 lb. (0.45 kg) of baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) in 1 gallon
(3.9 L) of water.
Battery installation and servicing should be done or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable about batteries and their safety procedures.
Never open or damage the batteries. The electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and
may be toxic as well as being an environmental hazard.
Never let live battery wires touch the UPS, the enclosure or any other metal objects. This
can cause a re or explosion. Never put metal tools on top of the batteries or on their
connectors.
Lead-acid batteries can release Hydrogen gas. Never expose the UPS or enclosure to
open ames or sparks to prevent a re or explosion.
Inspect the batteries once a year for signs of cracks, leaks or swells. Replace as needed.
If you have batteries in storage, charge them at least once every three months for optimum
performance and to extend their lifetime.
Always replace batteries with ones of identical number, type and rating. Never install
old or untested batteries. One sealed lead-acid battery is rated to a maximum voltage of
12VDC.
Before connecting the batteries to the UPS, determine if they are accidentally grounded
and unground the batteries if they are.
Always use insulated tools to prevent accidental shocks. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
Remove all rings, watches, jewellery or other metal items before working inside the
enclosure or doing maintenance on the UPS to prevent accidental shocks.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for battery disposal. Recycling is the best method.
Never burn batteries to dispose of them. They may explode. Follow the manufacturer’s
directions for safe battery disposal.

Introduction
1.3 The FXM Front Panel
The FXM 500 and the FXM 1100/1500/2000 series look different, but all of the front panel
connectors and circuit breakers are the same. All units operate in the same way unless
otherwise stated in this manual. The FXM 500 is a 24VDC unit while the others are
48VDC. Some of the FXM 500’s dry contacts will output 24VDC instead of 48VDC. See the
specications section for more details.

1Battery Circuit Breaker
This circuit breaker provides overcurrent protection and is an on/off switch for battery
power. It must be on for proper UPS operation.
2Battery Connector
This connects the external batteries to the UPS.
3Internal Fan
This microprocessor-controlled fan regulates the UPS’s internal temperature for optimum
performance. It must not be blocked. If the fan fails, an Alarm is generated (See Section
3.6, “Troubleshooting”).
4Ethernet
This optional, factory-installed RJ-45 connector is the UPS’s Ethernet connector.
