HOW TO 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 (450VA/260W for EC450G,
550VA/330W for EC550G, 750VA/450W for EC750G, 650VA/390W for EC650LCD, and 850VA/510W for EC850LCD). 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. our new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, after receiving
Y
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.
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.
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.
Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.

ECO Function
When the ECO function is active the UPS can detect whether the PC that is connected to the USB port is turned on or off. If the PC is
turned off, the UPS will turn off the ECO controlled outlets and cut power to the devices connected to them in order to save power.
Generally, these are peripherals that are not used when the PC is not turned on.
ECO Controlled Outlets
Three of the surge-only outlets are also ECO controlled outlets. When the PC that is connected to the USB port is turned off, the UPS
will turn off the ECO controlled outlets to save energy.

function is turned on and the connected PC is on. The LED is off when the ECO function is disabled. See below table for more
information.
Power ON
INPUT voltage meter: This meter measures the AC voltage that the UPS system is receiving
from the utility wall outlet. The UPS is designed to continuously supply connected equipment
with stable output voltage. 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.
OUTPUT voltage meter: This meter measures, in real time, the AC voltage that the UPS system
is providing to the computer during normal AC/Utility Power mode, and battery backup mode.
ESTIMATE RUN TIME: This displays the run time estimate of the UPS with the current battery
capacity and load.
EC450G / EC550G (8 outlets) NORMAL icon: This icon appears when the UPS is working under normal conditions.
