Safety instructions
Pulsar Ellipse is a power supply that can work on batteries. It
supplies hazardous voltages at its outlets even if the UPS is
disconnected from the mains.
Pulsar Ellipse contains hazardous voltages; it should only be
opened by a qualified technician, after switching off the UPS (switch
) and disconnecting it from the mains;battery wires should then be
disconnected.
Pulsar Ellipse has been designed to power computers, but not
non-electronic devices (such as home appliances, heating systems,
lights, etc.).
Your safety is ensured only if Pulsar Ellipse is properly earthed
at the mains . Please make sure the sum of the leakage currents of
the UPS and the connected loads does not exceed 2.7mA.by
checking their EC certification.
Do not block air vents completely.
If installed vertically, Pulsar Ellipse must be positioned with the
LEDs at the top to ensure stability (fig 5).
Connecting Pulsar Ellipse
connect input cable
(fig 1) to an easily accessible earthed wall
socket
connect critical applications (computer, monitor, modem, etc.) to
the «battery po wered»/«battery back-up» outlets whilst making sure
that the current is within the indicated limits in Amperes.
other devices (printer, scanner, etc.) can be plugged on the
«filtered»/«surge protected» outlets. Filtered outlets are not powered
in case of mains failure
if you have an Ellipse 1200 with a COM port, use the supplied
software to control the «programmable» connectors
if your Pulsar Ellipse is equipped with international outlets (fig 2),
connect it to the wall receptacle using the input cable of your
computer after checking its good condition (3x0.75 H05VV-F type)
and connect your devices to Pulsar Ellipse using the cables
supplied
if your Pulsar Ellipse is equipped with a COM port, install the
software available from the web site www.mgeups.com (or on the
CD-Rom if supplied), following the on-screen instructions (check
Pulsar Ellipse and the power supplying your computer with our
software)
if your Pulsar Ellipse is equipped with «data line protection»
connectors, you can protect your data line (fax, modem, Ethernet,
etc.) against surges by connecting it using the cable supplied (fig 4)
Using Pulsar Ellipse (see fig 3)
Pulsar Ellipse starts recharging its battery as soon as you
connect it to the mains; at first use, we recommend you recharge
the battery for 8 hours
Devices connected to Pulsar Ellipse battery-powered outlets are
powered as soon as Switch
is turned ON and the green LED lit
Devices connected to Pulsar Ellipse filtered outlets are powered
as soon as input cable in plugged into wall receptacle; switch
does not control them
If there is a mains failure, Pulsar Ellipse keeps on providing
power from its battery:light
is green and the alarm sounds every
10 sec, then every 3 sec when battery autonomy is almost
exhausted
If mains failure is too long, Pulsar Ellipse stops and will start up
again as soon as mains power returns . After complete discharge, a
few hours are required to reach full recharge
If Pulsar Ellipse is used to power inappropriate equipment (too
powerful, not electronic), red LED
overload is excessive, Pulsar Ellipse will stop powering outlets
If Pulsar Ellipse is subject to internal failure, red LED
the alarm sounds; Pulsar Ellipse automatically switches off its
outlets
The overload protection breaker (
Ellipse in the case of excessive overload;unplug excess application
and reset breaker by pressing switch
you can use switch
to switch your computer off and back on
again
you can leave Pulsar Ellipse permanently plugged in or turned
on
all Pulsar Ellipse outlets, battery powered or filtered, are surge-
protected whether switch
is on or off
Using internal battery
Pulsar Ellipse is equipped with a 12V/5Ah lead acid battery,
which must be disposed of according to local regulations. caution:
Battery life is halved for every 10°C above 25°C
These batteries can only be replaced by qualified technicians
(risk of electric shock) and only with batteries recommended by
MGE UPS SYSTEMS to ensure correct Pulsar Ellipse operation.
Warranty
Pulsar Ellipse is guaranteed 2 years by MGE UPS SYSTEMS.

Troubleshooting
outlets are not powered:
- switch is off: press switch and make sure the green LED lit
- o verload protection breaker
is set off due to overload: unplug
excess device from outlet and reset breaker by pressing its switch
- wall socket is not powered and battery is dead:check power at wall
socket and leave UPS battery to recharge for a few hours
- filtered outlets are not powered by battery in case of mains failure
interpreting the LEDs :
- light
is green and the alarm sounds often: Pulsar Ellipse
operates often on battery due to bad line voltage; change wall
receptacle or have a technician inspect your power system
- light
turns red and alarm sounds e very 30 sec: Pulsar Ellipse
is submitted to excess overload; outlets may be still powered if
overload is light; unplug excess device
- light
turns red and alarm sounds every 30 sec: Pulsar Ellipse
is displaying a fault; outlets are not powered
- lights
and
flash and alarm sounds every 30 sec:the battery
power is exhausted
