Connecting Power And Load; Connecting Interface Devices; Connecting Epo - Emergency Power Off - GE Consumer & Industrial VCO1000 User Manual

2.3.3 CONNECTING POWER AND LOAD

1. To connect a VCO1000 or VCO2000 UPS to the mains you can use the original MAINS <-> IEC C13 power cable of
the computer that will be protected by the UPS. For a VCO3000 you will need a MAINS <-> IEC C19 power cable.
These cables are not part of delivery.
2. Connect the power cord (see step 1) to the male input socket (3) at the rear of the UPS and to a working, grounded
AC wall socket outlet. The UPS is in Standby mode now, and though the unit is still switched off it will now start
recharging the battery. On the display the symbols "Charging" and "AC Normal" are lit.
3. For best results, allow the UPS to recharge the batteries during a period of approx. 8 hours. It is acceptable to use
the UPS without first charging the battery, but the runtime may be reduced.
4. Add up the power consumption (in VA) of the appliances that will be protected by the UPS ('the load') and make
sure that the resulting value does not exceed the VA output rating of the UPS. This way you ensure that the UPS is
able to supply the required output and prevent that an overload situation will happen.
5. Plug the load (e.g. computer, monitor, critical data storage device, etc.) into the appliance outlets (5-1 and 5-2) of
the unit. Spread the loads over the appliance outlets as equally as possible. If you use a distribution box to connect
more than one appliance per outlet, please note that
the maximum AC-current rating of each appliance
outlet is 7A for VCO1000 and 10A for VCO2000 &
VCO3000. Outlets 5-1 are always on, outlets 5-2 can
be switched off.
CAUTION!
Do NOT plug LASER PRINTERS or 3-D PRINTERS into any of the appliance outlets. These devices have a
much higher power demand than typical peripherals.
NOTE
The UPS output sockets can be live as soon as the UPS is connected to the main power supply, even if
the UPS has not been switched on via the front panel.

2.3.4 CONNECTING INTERFACE DEVICES

The UPS is equipped with two interface ports: a USB port and an RS232 port, allowing advanced communication between
the UPS and a computer (network). Refer to section 2.5 for more detailed information.

2.3.5 CONNECTING EPO - EMERGENCY POWER OFF

EPO - Emergency Power Off may be created by replacing the link with a switch with the characteristics of a 'power off'
button. Under normal conditions the switch has to be closed, when it opens the UPS will transfer to stand-by mode and
output power is lost.
It is not possible to restart the unit while the EPO switch is open. After closing the EPO switch press 'ON/mute' button for 2
seconds in order to restart the unit.
