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. 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
feature. When the UPS is plugged into an
AC outlet, the battery will automatically
charge whether the UPS is turned on or
turned off.
2. With the UPS unit turned off and
unplugged, 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
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 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 battery every three months to ensure
optimal battery life.
8. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located
near the equipment being attached for
proper accessibility.
9. Lay the UPS horizontally or use the keyhole
mounting slots to affix the UPS to the wall
in the proper orientation. DO NOT stand
the UPS up vertically.
