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.
