OVERVIEW
The LX1100G-FC/LX1325GU-FC/LX1500GU-FC provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent. The
LX1100G-FC/LX1325GU-FC/LX1500GU-FC features 890 Joules of surge protection. The unit provides long lasting battery backup during
power outages with maintenance free batteries. The LX1100G-FC/LX1325GU-FC/LX1500GU-FC ensures consistent power to your computer
system and includes software that will automatically save your open files and shutdown your computer system during a utility power loss.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The LX1100G-FC/LX1325GU-FC/LX1500GU-FC stabilizes inconsistent utility power voltage to nominal levels that
are safe for equipment. Inconsistent incoming utility power may be damaging to important data files and hard-
ware, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), damaging voltage levels are corrected to safe levels. AVR
automatically increases low utility power or decreases high utility power to a consistent and safe 110/120 volts.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS's rated capacity (1100VA/660W
for LX1100G-FC, 1325VA/810W for LX1325GU-FC, 1500VA/900W for LX1500GU-FC). If the rated capacity of the unit is exceeded, an
overload condition may occur and cause the UPS to shut down or the circuit breaker to trip.
2. There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. It is suggested that the load placed
on the battery outlets not exceed 80% of the unit's 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 off.
2. Note: This UPS is designed with a safety feature to keep the system from being turned on during
shipment. The first time you turn the UPS on, you will need to have it connected to AC power or it will not
power up.
3. 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. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum, sump pump
or other large electrical devices into the "Battery and Surge Protected Outlets". The power demands of these devices may overload
and damage the UPS.
4. 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, copier, etc...). The
warranty prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet strips, and surge strips.
5. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The Power On indicator light will illuminate and the unit will "beep".
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, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. While in storage, recharge the battery every
three months to ensure battery life.
8. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.

DEFINITIONS FOR ILLUMINATED LCD INDICATORS
1. INPUT voltage meter:
This meter measures the AC voltage that the UPS system is receiving from the utility wall outlet. The UPS is designed, through the use
of automatic voltage regulation, to continuously correct output voltage to connected equipment to a safe 110/120 voltage output range. In
the event of a complete power loss, severe brownout, or over-voltage, the UPS relies on its internal battery to supply consistent 110/120
output voltage. The INPUT voltage meter can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify poor-quality input power.
2. OUTPUT voltage meter:
This meter measures, in real time, the AC voltage that the UPS system is providing to the computer, such as normal line mode, AVR
mode, and battery backup mode. (Note: The OUTPUT voltage meter shows the status of the battery backup outlets.)
3. ESTIMATED RUNTIME:
This displays the run time estimate of the UPS with current battery capacity and load.
4. NORMAL icon:
This icon appears when the UPS is working under normal conditions.
5. BATTERY icon:
During a severe brownout or blackout, this icon appears and an alarm sounds (two short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS
is operating from its internal batteries. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, the alarm will sound continuously to indicate the UPS's
batteries are nearly out of power. You should save files and turn off your equipment immediately or allow the software to shut the system
down.
6. AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) icon:
This icon appears whenever your UPS is automatically correcting low AC line voltage without using battery power. This is a normal, auto-
matic operation of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
7. SILENT MODE icon:
This icon appears whenever the UPS is in silent mode. The buzzer does not beep during silent mode until the battery
reaches low capacity.
8. OVER LOAD icon:
This icon appears and an alarm sounds to indicate the battery-supplied outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your
equipment from the battery-supplied outlets until the icon turns off and the alarm stops.
