DETERMINE THE POWER

REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the UPS does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity (450VA/260W for EC450G, 550VA/330W for EC550G, 750VA/450W for EC750G, 650VA/390W for EC650LCD, and 850VA/510W for EC850LCD). 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.
2. There are many factors that can affect
   the amount of power that your electronic equipment will require. For optimal system performance keep the load below 80% of the unit’s rated capacity.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. 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 fea-ture. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will automatically charge whether the UPS is turned on or turned off.
   Note: This UPS is designed with a safety feature to keep the system from being turned on during shipment. The first time you turn the UPS on, you will need to have it connected to AC power or it will not power up.

2. With the UPS unit turned off and un-plugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any other peripherals requiring battery backup into the battery power supplied outlets. Plug the other peripheral equipment (e.g. printer, scanner, speakers, etc.) into the full-time surge protection outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum cleaner, 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.

3. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire ground-ed receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equip-ment 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 con-junction with the UPS unit.

4. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The Power On indicator light will illuminate green and the unit will “beep” twice.

5. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the unit will emit one 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.

6. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.

7. To store the UPS for an extended period of time, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. While in storage, recharge the bat-tery every three months to ensure optimal battery life.

8. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are locat-ed near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.

2. For the EC650/850LCD, press the Mode switch for approximately 3 seconds to enter setup mode and select the ECO function. When the ECO function is selected, press the Mode switch for 3 seconds to turn the function ON or OFF. Once ON or OFF is selected, wait 8 sec-onds for the setting to be confirmed and the LCD screen will return to status mode. For the EC450/550/750G, press the ECO button for 3 seconds to turn ON or OFF the ECO function.
3. When the ECO function is OFF, utility power from the ECO outlets will always be on. When the ECO function is ON, utility power from the ECO outlets will turn off if the PC connected to the UPS via the USB port is turned off or if there is no PC is connected to the UPS via USB.

ECO Indicator
The LED will blink when the ECO function is turned ON but the PC is either off or not connected. The LED will be solid if the ECO function is turned on and the connected PC is on. The LED is off when the ECO function is disabled. See below table for more information.

DEFINITIONS FOR LED INDICATORS & AUDIBLE ALARMS

DEFINITIONS FOR ILLUMINATED LCD INDICATORS

(EC650LCD and EC850LCD only)

• INPUT voltage meter: This meter measures the AC voltage that the UPS system is receiving from the utility wall outlet. The UPS is designed to continuously supply connected equipment with stable output voltage. In the event of a complete power loss, extended power reduc-tion, or over-voltage, the UPS relies on its inter-nal battery to supply consistent 110/120 output voltage. The INPUT voltage meter can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify poor-quality input power.

• OUTPUT voltage meter: This meter measures, in real time, the AC voltage that the UPS sys-tem is providing to the connected equipment during normal AC/Utility Power mode and battery backup mode.

• ESTIMATED RUNTIME: This displays the run time estimate of the UPS with the current bat-tery capacity and load.

• NORMAL icon: This icon appears when the UPS is working under normal conditions.

• BATTERY icon:

  • During an extended power re-duction or power outage, this icon appears and an alarm sounds (two short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its internal battery. The alarm will continue to sound during a prolonged power reduction or power outage. The BATT.CAPACITY meter will show one 20% capacity segment remaining to indicate the UPS’s battery is nearly out of power. You should save files and turn off your equipment immediately.

  • The LCD display indicates a variety of UPS operational conditions. All descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on or when the UPS is on battery.

• OVER LOAD icon : This icon appears and an alarm sounds to indicate the battery-supplied outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the battery-supplied outlets until the icon turns off and the alarm stops.

• BATTERY CAPACITY meter: This meter dis-plays the approximate charge level of the UPS’s internal battery in 20% increments. During a power outage or extended power reduction, the UPS switches to battery power (the BAT-TERY icon appears) and the battery charge level decreases.

• LOAD CAPACITY meter: This meter displays the approximate output load level of the UPS battery outlets in 20% increments.
