How to install Middle Atlantic UPS Expandable Run Time Unit

To install the UPX-EXPANRUN-10-15, begin with a clear workspace in your equipment room or rack area. Power down and safely shut down any devices connected to the UPS system according to your organization’s shutdown procedures. Unbox the runtime unit and inspect for any shipping damage; if any anomalies are found, contact the supplier before proceeding. With the main UPS powered off, follow the manufacturer’s installation guide to attach the expandable run time module to the UPS chassis, ensuring proper alignment with connectors and mounting points. Connect the detachable C13 to 5-15P power cord as specified to establish the required electrical pathway, and secure the module within its rack or enclosure to prevent movement. After physical installation, power on the UPS and verify that the runtime extension appears in the UPS status indicators. Run a basic load test within safe operating parameters to confirm that the extended runtime operates correctly under simulated outage conditions. If your facility uses centralized management or monitoring software, update the device profile to reflect the expanded runtime capacity so you can accurately track power availability across your network. Always consult the official installation manual for any model-specific steps or precautions.
