Important Safety Warning

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules, operation is subject to the following two conditions:

This device may not cause harmful interference and
this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The lead acid battery may cause a chemical hazard, the battery presents a risk energy hazard.
This manual contains important safety instructions. Please read and follow all instructions carefully during the installation and operation of the unit. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate your UPS.

To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a temperature and humidity-controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants. (See the specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity range.)
To reduce the risk of overheating the UPS, do not cover the UPS’ cooling vents and avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight or installing the unit near heat-emitting appliances such as space heaters or furnaces.
Do not attach non-computer-related items, such as medical equipment, life-support equipment, microwave ovens, or vacuum cleaners to UPS.
Do not plug the UPS input into its own output
Do not allow liquids or any foreign object to enter the UPS. Do not place beverages or any other liquid-containing vessels on or near the unit.
In the event of an emergency, press the OFF button and disconnect the power cord from the AC power

Transportation

Please transport the UPS system only in the original package to protect against shock and impact.

Preparation

Condensation may occur if the UPS system is moved directly from a cold to a warm environment. The UPS system must be absolutely dry before being installed. Please allow at least two hours for the UPS system to acclimate to the environment.
Do not install the UPS system near water or in moist environments.
Do not install the UPS system where it would be exposed to direct sunlight or near the heater.
Do not block ventilation holes in the UPS housing

Installation

How to determine the power requirements of your equipment

Ensure that the equipment plugged into the battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity. If rated unit capacities are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or the fuse to blow.
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, recharging the battery for at least 8 hours is recommended to ensure that the battery’s maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur during shipping and storage. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the on and off positions.
With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect the computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device.
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.
Depress the power switch to turn the unit on. The LCD indicator light will illuminate and the unit will “beep”.
To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store it with the battery fully charged. Recharge the battery every three months to ensure battery life.

Maintenance, Service, and Faults

The UPS system operates with hazardous voltages. Repairs may be carried out only by qualified maintenance personnel.
Caution – risk of electric shock. Even after the unit is disconnected from the mains (building wiring outlet), components inside the UPS system are still connected to the battery and electrically live and dangerous.
Before carrying out any kind of service and/or maintenance, disconnect the batteries and verify that no current is present and no hazardous voltage exists in the terminals of high capability capacitor such as BUS-capacitors.
To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before servicing the battery.
Only persons who are adequately familiar with batteries and with the required precautionary measures may replace batteries and supervise operations. Unauthorized persons must be kept well away from the batteries.
Caution – risk of electric shock. The battery circuit is not isolated from the input voltage. Hazardous voltages may occur between the battery terminals and the ground. Before touching, please verify that no voltage is present!
Batteries may cause electric shock and have a high short-circuit current. Please take the precautionary measures specified below and any other measures necessary when working with batteries:
- Remove wristwatches, rings and other metal objects
- Use only tools with insulated grips and handles.
When changing batteries, install the same number and same type of batteries.
Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them. This could cause battery explosion.
Do not open or destroy batteries. Escaping electrolyte can cause injury to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs.
Do not dismantle the UPS system.
A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
- Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
- Use tools with insulated handles.
- Wear rubber gloves and boots.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
- Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
- Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove a source from the ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

Storage

First, turn off your UPS and disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet. Disconnect all cables connected to the UPS to avoid battery drain.
The UPS should be stored in a cool dry location.
Make sure the battery is fully charged before the UPS is stored.
For extended storage in moderate climates, the battery should be charged for 12 hours every 3 months by plugging the power cord into the wall receptacle and turning on the main switch. Repeat it every 2 months in high-temperature locations

Battery Installation and Replacement

Shep 1: Remove the front panel. Remove t.hc retaining screws from the battery bracket and then remove the cover itself. undraw the connectors.

Step 2; Pull the battery tray out slowly, Put the new battery tray back into the compartment after that,

Step, 3: Fasten the battery bracket and then insert the connector. place the connector in the bracket.

Step 4: Tighten the screws of the battery bracket front panel.
