Important Safety Warning Please comply with all warnings and operating instructions in this manual. Save this manual and read carefully the following instructions before installing the unit. Do not operate this unit before reading through all safety information and operating instructions. 1.1.
Ensure no fluids or other foreign objects can enter the UPS system. 1.5. 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.
Principles Of Operation. The VFI1000QS is a true online double conversion UPS System providing the highest degree of power protection for your load. 2.1. Protection Features In the event of a power cut, the VFI1000QS will seamlessly transfer to battery power.
Thus, at low loads and temperatures the fans will run at low speeds making the units practically inaudible. This makes the VFI1000QS suitable for applications where the highest degrees of power quality and...

Adjustable rack sliders are available as an option. The VFI1000QS can be positioned horizontally on a desk or similar. Rubber feet have been provided to avoid surface scratching. Position these on the base of the unit toward the corners. Note when in horizontal placement the UPS should be placed off the floor to avoid excessive...
3.5. Tower Installation Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Carefully position the UPS in the Make up the vertical Note the LCD should be support brackets. Pop out the LCD and support brackets at the top. rotate into vertical orientation if required.
The power cord is supplied in the UPS package. In the UK, circuit protection is provided via the plug fuse, in other areas ensure that the circuit feeding the VFI1000QS has over current protection in place not exceeding 16A (e.g. a circuit breaker).

3.7.6. Emergency Power Off (EPO) function The VFI1000QS is equipped with Emergency Power Off (EPO) function. The EPO port is located on the rear panel (refer to section 3.3 Rear Panel) and consists of a plug and socket arrangement. When shipped the factory default is to have the plug fitted with a shorting link and this is inserted and screwed to the socket.
Starting Up the VFI1000QS Apply mains power to the unit. The unit is equipped with ultra quiet cooling fans controlled by Power Inspired’s ASC controller. When power is first applied, in order to ensure proper fan start up, the fans will spin up to full speed and hold for several seconds before reverting to a quiet low speed setting.
3.12. Battery Replacement NOTICE: This UPS is equipped with internal batteries that the user can replace without shutting down the UPS or connected loads (hot-swappable battery design). Replacement is a safe procedure, isolated from electrical hazards. CAUTION!! Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries. Note: Upon battery disconnection, equipment is not protected from power outages.
3.13. Battery Kit Assembly NOTICE: Please assemble battery kit first before installing it inside of UPS. Step 1: Remove adhesive tapes. Step 2: Connect all battery terminals by following below diagram. Tapes Tapes Step 3: Put assembled battery packs on Step 4: Cover the other side of plastic shell as one side of plastic shells.
4. Operations 4.1. Button operation Button Function Turn on the UPS: Press and hold ON/Mute button for at least 2 seconds to turn on the UPS. Mute the alarm: With the UPS in battery mode, press and hold this button for at least 3 seconds to disable or enable the alarm system.
4.2. LCD Panel Display Function Backup time information Indicates the estimated backup time. H: hours, M: minute, S: second. Configuration and fault information Indicates the configuration items, and the configuration items are listed in details in section 4-5. Indicates the warning and fault codes, and the codes are listed in details in section 4-7 and 4-8.
Display Function Indicates charging status Indicates the bypass circuit is working. Indicates the ECO mode is enabled. Indicates the AC to DC circuit is working. Indicates the inverter circuit is working. Indicates the UPS is working in converter mode Indicates the output is working. Battery information Indicates the battery level by 0-24%, 25-49%, 50-74%, and 75-100%.
