IT IS ADVISED TO READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND TO KEEP IT !
Thank you for choosing NILOX UPS EASY . This UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) provides a perfect
protection to all feeding devices.
This manual is a guide which enables you to correctly install and use your UPS. This manual includes
important SAFETY instructions for the operator, for the UPS correct installation, and gives useful advice on
the product and battery maintenance. For any type of problem, please refer to this manual before calling the
customer service.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Only properly trained personnel must use the UPS. To ensure correct and safety
●
operations, it is necessary that operators and maintenance personnel observe the general
Safety Standards as well as the specific instructions included in this manual.
Electric Shock risk: do not remove the cover. The UPS contains internal parts at high
●
voltage which are potentially dangerous, capable of causing injury or death by electric
shock.
In the UPS there are no parts which are subject to user's maintenance. Any type of
●
maintenance and repair must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technical personnel
authorised. Any type of responsibility is declined if this warning is disregarded.
It is compulsory to ground the UPS according to Safety Standards in force.
●
When the UPS is ON there are risks of electric shock at the output sockets.
●
There are risks of electric shock at the output sockets if the unit is connected to the
●
AC utility line.
Do not lean any object on top of the UPS; do not keep liquids, flammable gases or
●
corrosive substances near the UPS.
Install the UPS indoors, in a protected, clean and moisture free environment.

INTRODUCTION
UPS EASY is a Line Interactive UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) specifically designed to protect your
computer from any type of irregularities in the AC line (such as black-outs, over voltages, low voltage, micro-
interruptions) which often cause damage to your Hardware and Software.
Under normal AC line condition, UPS EASY filters electrical disturbances (such as transients, spikes,
interferences, etc.) frequently present on the electrical line, thus protecting all devices connected to the
outlets, and recharging the batteries in an ideal way.
In case of anomaly to the AC line, the UPS continues feeding properly the connected devices.
The UPS general characteristics are:
All functions are controlled by a microprocessor, giving full guarantee on high reliability.
●
Overload protection both in normal functioning and in battery mode.
●
High performance battery charger which extends the battery medium life ensuring an optimal
●
recharge.
Starts up even if the electrical network is not available.
●
Adapts automatically to 50 or 60 Hz input frequency.
●
Visual and acoustic signals indicating operating mode and alarm conditions.
●
Compact dimension and smart design.

INSTALLATION
INSPECTION AND PLACEMENT CHOICE
Carefully remove the UPS from its packaging, and carry out a meticulous inspection. We recommend keeping
the original packaging in case you need to send the UPS for maintenance purposes.
We recommend to pay attention to the below points in order to choose a correct placement for your UPS:
Place UPS EASY as close as possible both to the input electrical line and to the equipment to be
●
supplied.
UPS EASY is designed to operate in protected environments (for example: offices). We therefore
●
recommend to install it in a place with no humidity, dust, or smoke. However, for the environmental
requirements please refer to the "Specifications" chapter, and check that the selected place meets with
such specifications.
It is necessary to leave at least 20 cm of space all around UPS EASY in order to permit reasonable
●
ventilation.
Do not place any object on top of the UPS.
●
Do not keep liquids, flammable gases, or corrosive substances near the unit.
●
INSTALLATION
For a correct installation please carry out the following points:
1. Switch your PC off.
2. Unplug the PC feeding cable and use it to connect the UPS to an AC line outlet. It is mandatory
to ground the outlet according to the Safety Standards. Carefully check the grounding, make
sure that the utility power is available, and that its range falls within the UPS specifications (refer to the
"Specifications" chapter).
3. Turn the UPS ON (by pressing the front panel button) and leave it in ON for at least 8 hours in
order to completely re-charge the battery.
4. Switch the UPS OFF (by pressing again the front panel button).
5. Connect the devices to the UPS output socket by using the supplied output cables and turn all the
switches ON.
6. Restart the UPS; check that the power up performance takes place properly and that the UPS
does not give any warning signals. Make sure that all devices are turned ON accordingly.
SWITCH ON AND FUNCTIONING
In order to switch the UPS on, simply connect it to the electrical line using the supplied cable, and keep the
front ON/OFF button pressed for about 2 seconds. The UPS emits a brief acoustic signal, the 2 Leds on the
front panel flash and the green LINE/BATTERY led switches on. PC PROTECTOR begins working in "LINE"
mode. In "LINE" mode the green LINE/BATTERY led is always switched on.
ATTENTION: UPS EASY automatically switches to the BATTERY ("BATTERY" mode) whenever the
●
Mains voltage amplitude is out of the safety limit (due to: black-out /surge /over/under voltage).
ATTENTION: never power a laser printer or plotter on to your UPS: the laser printer or the plotter
●
absorb a higher power than the one absorbed in waiting mode, and this may over charge your UPS.
SWITCH OFF
To switch your UPS EASY OFF, it is enough to keep the ON/OFF button pressed for about 2 seconds.
"BATTERY" mode (slow alarm)
When UPS EASY works in "BATTERY" mode, it emits a sustained acoustic signal. The alarm stops as soon as
the UPS returns to a normal "LINE" mode functioning.
ATTENTION: in "BATTERY" mode, the UPS emits an acoustic alarm signal every 4 seconds and
●
simultaneously the LINE/BATTERY led flashes.
"LOW BATTERY" CONDITIONS (fast alarm)
When the UPS operates in "BATTERY" mode and the remaining autonomy of the battery is around 20%
~30%, the UPS emits a sustained acoustic signal. If the AC utility line is not restored, the UPS continues
working in "LOW BATTERY" condition, until it switches off due to battery exhaustion of energy.
ATTENTION: in "LOW BATTERY" condition, the UPS emits an acoustic alarm signal every 1 second
●
and simultaneously the led LINE/BATTERY flashes.
"OVERLOAD" CONDITIONS
In case of "OVERLOAD", the UPS may automatically switch off, protecting itself from this anomalous situation.
In this case, the user must reduce power within the specifications by disconnecting the appliances which
cause the overload (please refer to the "Specifications" chapter).
