NOTE **** Extended replacement barrel adapter kits can be ordered through customer service.

Connecting the Power Supply Cord

Attach the supplied NEMA 5–15P line cord to the UPS input socket on the back of the UPS, then plug the NEMA 5–15P into a three-wire grounded NEMA 5–15 receptacle.

NOTE Initial power-on requires that the UPS is plugged to mains input first.

Connecting the Load Equipment

To connect the load equipment to the UPS:

1. Select the correct barrel adapter and clip it on the UPS output connector.
2. Plug in the load equipment.
3. The load equipment is now ready to be backed-up and protected.

Operation
