It features a large cooling fan at the top, along with communication ports including a USB port and a SmartSlot for optional network management cards. Below these are two banks of output receptacles: eight NEMA 5-15R outlets and two NEMA 5-20R outlets. The main input power connector, a NEMA L5-30P, is located at the bottom left, alongside a resettable circuit breaker.

4. Configuració i instal·lació

1. Desembalatge i col·locació: Carefully unpack the UPS. Due to its significant weight (approximately 143 lbs), ensure you have assistance for safe handling. Place the unit on a stable, level surface in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment.
2. Connexió de la bateria: The UPS typically ships with the internal batteries disconnected for safety. Refer to the included quick start guide or the full installation manual for instructions on connecting the internal batteries.
3. Connexió d'alimentació d'entrada: Connect the UPS input power cord (NEMA L5-30P) to a dedicated 120V, 30A circuit. This connection requires a specific type of outlet and may necessitate professional electrical installation.
4. Equip de connexió: Plug your critical equipment into the UPS output receptacles. The SMT3000VA provides eight NEMA 5-15R outlets and two NEMA 5-20R outlets. Ensure the total load does not exceed the UPS's capacity (2700W / 3000VA).
5. Engegada inicial: Press the power button on the front panel to turn on the UPS. The LCD display will illuminate, and the unit will perform a self-test. Allow the batteries to charge for at least 3 hours before relying on the UPS for extended backup time.
6. Ports de comunicació: For advanced monitoring and management, connect the UPS to a computer via the USB or serial (DB-9 RS-232) port. An optional SmartSlot card can be installed for network management.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

• LCD Display and Control Console: The multi-function LCD provides real-time status, configuration options, and diagnostic information. Use the navigation keys to browse menus and adjust settings.
• Mode verd: The UPS features a patent-pending operating mode that bypasses unused electrical components under good power conditions. This achieves very high operating efficiency without compromising protection.
• Sortida d'ona sinusoïdal pura: The SMT3000VA provides a pure sine wave output when operating on battery power, ensuring compatibility with all connected equipment, especially those with active PFC power supplies.
• Grup de punts de venda canviat: A single outlet group can be controlled independently from the main UPS. This allows for discrete rebooting of hung devices, sequenced power-on/off, or non-critical load shedding to extend battery runtime.
• Capacitat d'arrencada en fred: The UPS can be powered on and provide temporary battery power even when utility power is unavailable.
• Alarmes sonores: The unit provides audible alarms to notify users of changing utility power conditions, UPS status, and low battery warnings. These alarms can often be configured for delays or silenced via the LCD.
• Volum automàtictage Regulació (AVR): The Boost and Trim AVR feature automatically corrects low and high input voltages without switching to battery power, preserving battery life.
• Gestió de la xarxa: The UPS can be managed remotely via serial, USB, or an optional Ethernet connection (SmartSlot card required).

6. Manteniment

• Recàrrega de la bateria: The typical recharge time for the maintenance-free sealed Lead-Acid battery is 3 hours.
• Predictive Battery Replacement: The UPS provides a predictive battery replacement date, indicating the month and year when battery replacement is recommended.
• Autoprova automàtica: El SAI realitza autoproves periòdiques de la bateria per garantir la detecció precoç d'una bateria que cal substituir.
• Hot-Swappable and User-Replaceable Batteries: Batteries can be replaced without powering down connected equipment, ensuring continuous power. Trained users can perform battery upgrades and replacements.
• Temperature-Compensated Charging: This feature prolongs battery life by regulating the charge voltage basat en la temperatura de la bateria.
• Neteja: Keep the ventilation openings clear of dust and debris to ensure proper airflow and cooling.

7. Solució De Problemes

• Alarmes sonores: If the UPS emits continuous or intermittent alarms, consult the LCD display for specific error messages. Common alarms include low battery, overload, or internal fault.
• Sense potència de sortida: Check the input power connection and ensure the UPS is turned on. Verify that the resettable circuit breakers on the rear panel have not tripped.
• Notificació de bateria desconnectada: If this alarm occurs, ensure the internal batteries are properly connected.
• Parades inesperades: Ensure the connected load does not exceed the UPS capacity. Check for configurable settings related to load shedding or automatic shutdowns after a certain period on battery power, which can be adjusted via the LCD or management software.
• La bateria no es carrega: Verify the UPS is connected to a live utility power source. If the issue persists, the battery may need replacement.
