Connection
Power supply cord / socket
Connect the UPS to the AC-power source through a wall outlet equipped with an
earth connector, using the attached cord for a UPS with FR / DIN sockets or
the supply cord of your computer for a UPS with IEC sockets.
Protected outlets / Backup & Protected outlets
Plug critical equipment (computer, monitor, modem, etc.) to the backup &
protected outlets 2 providing battery backup power and surge protection,
taking care not to exceed the rated current indicated in amperes. Other
devices (printer, scanner, fax, etc.) can be connected to the protected
outlets 1 that provide surge protection only. The protected outlets are not
backed up by battery power in the event of a power outage. Equipment connected
to these outlets is supplied as soon as the AC cord is plugged in. These are
not affected by ON/OFF button 9 .
Tel / xDSL surge protection (optional)
Protect your Tel / xDSL line using a RJ11 cable (not provided) from the wall
phone plug to the Eaton 3S “In”port 7 then connect your device to the Eaton 3S
“Out” port 7.
USB COM port (optional)
Connect the UPS to the computer using the USB cable 14 supplied. Enhance your purchase by downloading the configuration tool software using URL: <http://powerquality.eaton.com/EMEA/support/software-drivers/default.asp
USB charging port (optional)
Connect your device to the USB charging port 10 (2A maximum).
ON/OFF button
Switch on the UPS by pressing ON/OFF button 9 during 1.5 second.

Operation
Battery charge
The UPS charges the battery as soon as it is connected to the AC outlet, whether ON/OFF button 9 is pressed or not. When used for the first time, the battery will only provide its maximum autonomy after it has been charged for 8 hours. It is recommended that the UPS be permanently connected to the AC power supply to ensure the best possible autonomy.
AC-power disturbance
If AC power is disturbed or fails, the UPS continues to operate on battery
power. UPS status LED 3 flashes green. In normal mode, the audio alarm beeps
every five seconds, then every two seconds when the end of battery backup time
is near.
If the power outage lasts longer than the battery backup time, the UPS shuts
down and automatically restarts when power is restored. Following a complete
discharge, 10 hours are required to recharge the battery backto full backup
time.
To save battery power, it is possible to press ON/OFF button 9 to cut the
supply of power to the devices connected to the battery backup outlets.
Protected outlets
All protected outlets 1 provide surge protection, whatever the position of ON/OFF button 9 . The Surge protection LED 6 provide the status of the protection. When the Surge protection LED 6 is OFF your protection is defective, please contact after sales services or local representative.
Equipment Care
For full battery life, keep the equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F). Battery service life is reduced by 50 % for every ten degrees above 25 °C. If the UPS requires any type of transportation, verify that the UPS is turned off.
Battery replacement
For battery replacement follow Eaton instructions provided on www.eaton.eu/BatteryServices.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
- shut down the UPS (ON/OFF button 9 ),
- disconnect the source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals,
- do not wear any metal objects including watches and rings,
- do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries,
- it is imperative to use the same battery type and number.
CAUTION : Batteries present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit current. Observe proper precaution. Batteries may contain HIGH VOLTAGE and CORROSIVE, TOXIC and EXPLOSIVE substances. Because of the battery the output receptacles may carry high voltages even when the AC supply is notconnected to the UPS. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. When exposed to flame, batteries may explode. Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be extremely toxic.
Battery change
Warning : take care not to reverse the polarity + (red) and – (black) when connecting the batteries as this will destroy the device.
