IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions. Please read and follow all instructions carefully during installation and operation of the unit. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate the UPS.
- CAUTION! The UPS must be connected to a grounded AC power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection. DO NOT plug the UPS into an outlet that is not grounded. If you need to power-drain this equipment, turn off and unplug the unit.
- CAUTION! The battery can power hazardous components inside the unit, even when the AC input power is disconnected. CAUTION! The UPS should be placed near the connected equipment and easily accessible.
- CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of conductive contaminants. (Please see specifications for acceptable temperature and humidity range).
- CAUTION! (No User Serviceable Parts): Risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
- CAUTION! (Non-Isolated Battery Supply): Risk of electric shock, battery circuit is not isolated from AC power source; hazardous voltage may exist between battery terminals and ground. Test before touching.
- CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire, connect the UPS to a branch circuit with 10 amperes (850 / 1K / 1.5K) / 16 amperes (2K / 3K) maximum over-current protection in accordance with CE requirement.
- CAUTION! The AC outlet where the UPS is connected should be close to the unit and easily accessible.
- CAUTION! Please use only VDE-tested, CE-marked mains cable, (e.g., the mains cable of your equipment), to connect the UPS to the AC outlet.
- CAUTION! Please use only VDE-tested, CE-marked power cables to connect any equipment to the UPS.
- CAUTION! When installing the equipment, ensure that the sum of the leakage current of the UPS and the connected equipment does not exceed 3.5mA.
- CAUTION! The 1000 / 2000 / 3000 / Battery module models are only qualified maintenance personnel may carry out installations. CAUTION! Do not unplug the unit from AC Power during operation, as this will invalidate the protective ground insulation. CAUTION! To avoid electric shock, turn off and unplug the unit before installing the input/output power cord with a ground wire. Connect the ground wire prior to connecting the line wires!
- CAUTION! Do not use an improper size power cord as it may cause damage to your equipment and cause fire hazards. CAUTION! Wiring must be done by qualified personnel.
- CAUTION! DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT! Under no circumstances this unit should be used for medical applications involving life support equipment and/or patient care.
- CAUTION! DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS! To reduce the risk of fire, do not use with or near aquariums. Condensation from the aquarium can come in contact with metal electrical contacts and cause the machine to short out. CAUTION! Do not dispose of batteries in fire as the battery may explode.
- CAUTION! Do not open or mutilate the battery, released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes.
- CAUTION! A battery can present a risk of electric shock and high short circuit current. The following precaution should be observed when working on batteries
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
- CAUTION! The unit has a dangerous amount of voltage. When the UPS indicators is on, the units may continue to supply power thus the unit’s outlets may have a dangerous amount of voltage even when it’s not plugged in to the wall outlet.
- CAUTION! Make sure everything is turned off and disconnected completely before conducting any maintenance, repairs, or shipment.
- CAUTION! Connect the Protection Earth (PE) safety conductor before any other cable is connected.
- WARNING! (Fuses): To reduce the risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of fuse.
DO NOT INSTALL THE UPS WHERE IT WOULD BE EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR NEAR A STRONG HEAT SOURCE! DO NOT BLOCK OFF VENTILATION OPENINGS AROUND THE HOUSING!
DO NOT CONNECT DOMESTIC APPLIANCES SUCH AS HAIR DRYERS TO UPS OUTPUT SOCKETS!
SERVICING OF BATTERIES SHOULD BE PERFORMED OR SUPERVISED BY PERSONNEL KNOWLEDGE OF BATTERIES AND THE REQUIRED PRECAUTIONS. KEEP UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL AWAY FROM BATTERIES!

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

Warning
__
O/P Overload
| Your equipment requires more power than the UPS can provide. If the UPS is
in Line Mode, then it will transfer to Bypass Mode; if the UPS is in Battery
Mode, it will shut down.| Shut off non-essential equipment. If this solves the
overload problem, the UPS will transfer to normal operation.
Battery Mode| UPS is operating on battery power.| Save your data and perform a
controlled- shutdown.
Battery Low| UPS is operating on battery power and will be shutting down soon
due to extremely low battery
voltage.
| UPS will restart automatically when acceptable utility power returns.
BAT Disconnected/ Battery Replace| Missing battery power.| Check battery
connector when use battery packages.
UPS has failed in Battery Test.| Contact technical support to replace the
battery.
Charger Failure| Charger has failed.| 1. Shut down UPS and turn off AC input.
2. Contact the dealer for repair.
EPO OFF| Missing the EPO connection.| Check the EPO connection.
Fault
__
Over Temperature
| __
High ambient temperature.
| 1. Shut down UPS. Restart UPS to Check the fan for operation and if the ventilation hole has been covered
2. Contact the dealer for repair.
Output Short| Output short circuit.| 1. Shut down UPS
2. Your attached equipment may have problems, please remove them and check again.
High O/P V| Output voltage is too high.| __
1. Shut down UPS
2. Contact the dealer for repair.
Low O/P V| Output voltage is too low.
Bus Fault| Internal DC bus voltage is too high or too low.
Other
__
Startup fail
| __
High temperature, or fan fail, or battery low, or EPO off.
| 1. Restart UPS and press the “▼” button to view the warning event. Then refer to the solution for the warning.
2. Contact the dealer for repair.
INDIVIDUAL OUTLET CONTROL
Method 1: Through LCD setting: Setting item 001-008
Method 2: Through PowerMaster+ Local: [UPS SETTING->CONFIGURATION]
Method 3: Trough SNMP Card 2 Webpage: [UPS->Outlet Action->Outlet Management]
AUTO-PING
The Auto-Ping feature allows the SNMP Card 2 to detect if a target device becomes unresponsive to IP pings and automatically reboot the device. If the device gets back to normal operation after reboot, network connection could be restored at the same time. First add an IP address of the target device and correlate the IP address to specific outlet, which powers the device. The SNMP Card 2 begins to verify its connection to the internet by periodically sending IP pings to the device. If the SNMP Card 2 continuously receives no response from the device, the setting action will be triggered on the outlet. To utilize the function, AutoPing configuration is based on different applications.
Auto Ping setting: [UPS->Outlet Action->Outlet AutoPing]
