  • Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
  • Only set the UPS upright on a sturdy flat surface. Do not block fans or ventilation holes, as this will seriously inhibit the unit’s internal cooling and cause product damage not covered under warranty.

UPS Connection Warnings

  • Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS.
  • Do not modify the UPS plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS ground connection.
  • Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.
  • If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
  • The mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be easily accessible and located near the UPS.

Equipment Connection Warnings

  • Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards ANSI/NFPA 70 and Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
  • Short-circuit backup protection and overcurrent protection is provided by the building installation.
  • To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1. The plug on the power supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. Be sure that the socket-outlet is installed near the equipment and is made easily accessible.
  • Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
  • Do not connect surge protectors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the UPS and may affect the surge protector and UPS warranties.
  • Connect the UPS to an outlet that is adequately protected against excess currents, short circuits and earth faults as part of the building installation.

Installation and Operation

STEP 1: Plug the UPS into a properly grounded outlet.Once the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet, the battery charger will engage as necessary and the SURGE ONLY outlets will begin passing power.

STEP 2: Turn the UPS on.

STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS.There are two sets of outlets on your UPS. Outlets marked SURGE ONLY do not provide battery backup power during power outages. Connect common desktop items like printers, scanners and other accessories not requiring battery support to these outlets. Outlets marked BATTERY BACKUP offer UPS battery backup support during power failures. Connect your vital computer equipment into these outlets.

Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment connected to the BATTERY BACKUP outlets exceed the UPS output capacity. To find your equipment’s VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps (A), multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA. For example: 1A × 120 = 120VA.

 

LED Indicators

* UPS goes to Overload Fault Status (Line Mode) when load levels of 125% or greater occur for a duration of 10 minutes and 20 seconds.** UPS remains silent in Battery Backup Mode until low-battery notification occurs.*** UPS goes to Overload Shutdown (Battery Mode) with load levels of 110% or greater; Shutdown occurs within 36 seconds.

Alarm Configuration Note: The alarm is factory configured to remain silent in battery mode until the low-battery threshold occurs.

To configure the alarm to sound immediately in response to a power failure, press and hold the POWER BUTTON until a single beep is heard, then release. The alarm will now be configured to sound immediately when a power failure occurs.

IMPORTANT! The Power Button must be released immediately after the first beep in order to change the alarm off/on status. Holding the switch down until the second beep will immediately power off the UPS. Alarm OFF/ON status can be changed as the UPS runs in AC or Battery mode. Changing alarm status activates a UPS preset that automatically remains in place until the next reset.
