IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS) This manual contains important safety 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. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility. To reduce risk of damage and injury, please use batteries with good quality. Provide adequate ventilation for the battery compartment. The battery enclosure should be designed to prevent accumulation and concentration of hydrogen gas at the top of the compartment. DO NOT expose the UPS to rain, snow, or liquids of any type. The UPS is designed for indoor use only. DO NOT obstruct the ventilation openings. DO NOT connect neutral of the power distribution box on the wall to the output neutral of UPS. Otherwise, the reversed polarity will damage the UPS and the connected equipment.
CAUTION! Risk of electric shock do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. The battery can energize hazardous live parts inside even when the AC input power is disconnected. To avoid electrical shock, turn off the UPS and unplug it from the AC power source before servicing the battery. Servicing the battery can only be performed by trained personnel.
INSTALLING YOUR UPS SYSTEM
UNPACKING
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The box should contain the following:
- UPS Unit x1;
- User Manual x1;
- USB Cable x1(optional);
OVERVIEW
The UPS provides battery backup during power outages. The UPS ensures
consistent power to your computer system and its included software will
automatically save your open files and shut down your computer system during a
utility power loss.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
Before installation, please read and understand the following instructions:
-
Placement
The UPS must be installed in a protected environment away from heat- emitting appliances such as a radiator or heat register. Do not install this product where excessive moisture is present. -
Ventilation
The location should provide adequate air flow around the UPS with 10 cm minimum clearance on all sides for proper ventilation. -
Connect to AC and Charge the Battery
Connect the UPS to a wall outlet. Avoid using extension cords and adapter plugs. Charging the battery for at least 8 hours is recommended to ensure that the battery is fully charged. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into a wall outlet. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS always plugged into an AC outlet. This UPS can be charged even when UPS is not turned on. -
Connect the Load
Connect the equipment to the UPS outlet. Please make sure that the total loads of your equipment are less than the maximum total power load of the UPS. Connect your computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device (Hard drive, Tape drive, etc.) into the outlets only when the UPS is off and unplugged. Do not plug a laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum, paper shredder or other large electrical device into the UPS. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
