SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions for Models EX7/EX10/EX15/EXB10/EXB15 that should be
followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS batteries.
c This equipment can be operated by any
individual, with no previous training;
c CAUTION: Risk of electric shock, even
with unit disconnected from AC power
source. Hazardous voltage still may be
present through operation from battery.
The battery supply should be disconnected
at the plus and minus terminals using the
quick disconnect connectors of the battery
when maintenance or service work inside
the UPS is necessary.
c the AC power receptacle should be near
the equipment and easily accessible. To
isolate Pulsar from AC input, remove the
input power cord from the AC power
receptacle;
c if Pulsar is to be stored for a long time, it
is recommended to recharge the batteries
(by connecting AC power source to Pulsar,
switch "ON" or "OFF"), once a month for 24
hours to avoid a full batteries discharge;

electric shock and high short circuit current.
The following precautions should be
observed when working with batteries:
v remove watches, rings or other metal
objects,
c The UPS contains voltages which are
potentially hazardous. All repairs should
be performed by qualified service
personnel only;
v use tools with insulated handles,

introduction
other interconnection devices that are
sensitive to electrical disturbances.
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 add fault-
tolerance to the utility supplying your
sensitive equipment.
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 are designed
as compact units and feature very silent
operation. They can be installed under a
desk, and can also be installed in a rack
(see "options").
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 provide a
stable supply of clean power, long back-up
time during a utility outage (see table) and
vast information and control possibilities
according to the configuration selected.
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 On-Line
technology provides maximum protection
and availability of your workstations, server,
and network communication devices.
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 offer many
functions and characteristics designed to
simplify power management:
In critical situations, count on MGE UPS
SYSTEMS Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Their
protection keeps your data intact and
accessible.
of Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 using the
EX Tuner configuration module. This module
adapts Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 to user
preferences (battery test frequency, startup
and shutdown sequences, setting of battery
thresholds, etc.). Operation and monitoring
are ensured by the UPS Manager 3.1
module operating under Windows 3.1.
EX Driver connects to the RS 232 port on
the Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 (see
"communication" section for further details);
c Solution-PacTM is a CD-ROM which
contains all the tools needed to supervise
your UPS.
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 UPSs ensure
top quality power around the clock, and
continue operations during power failures.
An intelligent microprocessor detects any
operating anomalies of the UPS and triggers
an alarm if corrective action is necessary.
In addition to the high-technology aspect of
these UPSs, you can count on backup from
our staff, a team of specialists, around the
corner from you, throughout the world. It’s
no accident that MGE UPS SYSTEMS is the
world leader in UPS protection.
application of Pulsar EX7, EX10
and EX15:
Network servers and interconnection
devices are very sensitive to electrical
disturbances of all types, including outages,
voltage sags, brownouts, spikes, etc. The
origins of the disturbances also vary, ranging
from atmospheric phenomena, to nearby
devices generating interference such as
elevators, photocopy machines and machine
tools, not to mention human errors, like the
accidental pulling out of power cords or
tripping of circuit breakers. The
c automatic battery test carried out
periodically. In the event of a fault, a LED
provides advance warning for battery
replacement;
c front panel LEDs signal all types of faults
and alarms;
c Bar graph continuously indicates the
battery charge level or the critical load
power level;
c Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 are
environment friendly: all components are
recyclable and an electronic power-saver
device reduces power consumption if the
UPS is not active for a period exceeding 5
minutes while on battery back-up;
c EX Driver software provides rapid startup
consequences of these disturbances on
computer systems range from data losses to
hardware damage (power supplies, hard
disks).
Pulsar EX7, EX10 and EX15 are specially
designed to protect network servers and all

events in a log file,
associated with a UPS:
v graphic display of the UPS,
v remote control of the UPS and output
receptacles,
v during long-term power outages,
automatic shutdown of the system and of
the UPS, followed by automatic restart of the
UPS (system reboot) on return of utility
power,
c EX-Driver software for Windows (on 3.5"
v user alarm of problems,
diskettes);
v recording of events in log files,
v automatic system shutdown and restart,
v local or remote supervision of UPSs and
ancillary devices,
c Solution-PacTM network software (on CD-

alarms to any SNMP supervisor.
communication with the UPS from a simple
Windows workstation. EX-Driver is
compatible with Windows 3.1x and Windows
95, for communication with the UPS via a
serial connection for various needs:
c personalization of the UPS operating
mode: the EX-Tuner utility, can be used to
change certain UPS operating parameters if
the standard factory settings are not ideal for
the operating conditions.
It is possible to modify the output voltage,
battery-test frequency, startup and shutdown
sequences, operation of automatic by-pass,
etc.;
c UPS monitoring from a Windows
workstation and system safety:
EX-Driver, UPS Manager 3 software, can
display the UPS status, warn the user if a
problem arises, and provide automatic
shutdown.
Protection by UPS is only complete and
effective if combined with powerful software
functions which warn users and the operator
of any power supply problem, automate
system shutdown, supervise and remotely
control the UPSs. MGE UPS SYSTEMS
created Solution-PacTM for this purpose.
Solution-PacTM combines all these functions
in a single CD-ROM, usable in local or
remote mode (SNMP), and covering the
main network environments.
Solution-PacTM is the ideal solution for
protecting networks and multistation
systems.
Solution-PacTM on a single CD-ROM
contains everything needed to safeguard
one or more systems and to supervise one
or more UPSs from a local or remote station.
Solution-PacTM includes SNMP UM-Agent,
UM-Client system shutdown software, and
UM-Console supervision software.
Solution-PacTM is a powerful and upgradable
software tool which provides all the
supervision, control and safety functions
The many possibilities available include:
v supervision of operating parameters
through a graphic interface (display of
battery charge level, remaining battery time
and UPS load level). These values can be
recorded periodically in a log file,
v messages to the user in case of power
