Description

Basic Operation

Battery and Surge Protected Outlets
- The unit has three battery and surge protected outlets to ensure temporary uninterrupted operation of your equipment during a power failure. (Do not plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum, sump pump or other large electrical device into the “Battery and Surge Protected Outlets.” The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.).
Full-Time Surge Protection Outlets
- The unit has three surge suppression outlets to provide surge and line noise protection.
Power Switch
- To turn the UPS on, press the power button for approximately 2 seconds you will hear a constant tone (1 second) – and release after a short beep.

- “When the alarm is turned off, no audible notification when the UPS reaches a (low) battery state.
Power On Indicator (green)
- This LED is illuminated when the utility power is normal and the UPS outlets are providing power, free of surges and spikes. When In the event of a complete power loss, severe brownout, or over-voltage, the UPS will turn to battery mode and the LED will flash. Please refer to the following “Definitions for Illumination LED Indicators” for more information.
Circuit Breaker

Installing Your UPS System

Unpacking
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The box should contain the following: UPS unit User’s manual

How To Determine The Power Requirements Of Your Equipment

Ensure that the equipment plugged into the UPS does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity (400 VA/255 If the rated capacities of the unit are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or the circuit breaker to trip.
There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. For optimal system performance, keep the load below 80% of the unit’s rated capacity.

Hardware Installation Guide

Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, after receiving a new UPS, to ensure the battery’s maximum charge capacity, it is recommended that you charge the battery for at least 8 hours. Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will automatically charge whenever the UPS is turned on or turned off.
With the UPS unit turned off and unplugged, connect your equipment requiring battery backup into the battery power supplied outlets. Plug the other peripheral equipment (printer, scanner, speakers) into the full-time surge protection outlets. Do not plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum, sump pump or other large electrical device into the “Battery and Surge Protected Outlets”. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not
service equipment with large electrical demands (e.g. air conditioner, refrigerator, copier, etc … ). The warranty prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet strips, and surge strips in conjunction with the UPS
Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The Power On indicator will illuminate green and the unit will “beep” twice.
If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will be sounded and the unit will emit long beep. To correct this, turn the UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power supplied outlets. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the UPS on.
To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
To store the UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. While in storage, recharge the battery every three months to ensure battery life.
For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Do not lie or mount the UPS down on its side to ensure the battery life.
