Dynex TE685AVR User Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY [NSTRUCTIONS
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
This manual contains important safety instructions. Please read and follow all instructions carefully before and during installation and operation of unit. Read this manual thoroughly
before attempting to install or operate.
CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of conductive contaminants.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover secured by star shaped screws. No user serviceable parts are inside except for the battery. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel.
CAUT10NI The battery can er^ergize hazardous live parts inside even when the AC input power is disconnected.
CAUTION! UPS must be connected to an AC power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection. Oo not plug into an outlet that is not grounded.
\l
you need to de -energize this
equipment, turn off and unplug Ihe unit.
CAUTION! To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before servicing the battery or installing a computer component.
DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT! Dynex does not sell products for life support or medical applications or fcr use in any circumstance that would affect
operation or safety of any medical for life support or medical applications or patient care.
DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS! To reduce the risk of fire, do not use with or near aquariums. Condensation from the aquarium can cause the unit to short out.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code^
ANSI/NFPA 70.
description
1. Power Switch: Can be used as the masfcer on/off switch for computer equipment connected to the batteiy power supplied outlets.
2. Power On Indicator; This LED is illuminated when the utility condition is normal and the UPS oullete are providing 'clean power," free of any
surges or spikes,
3. Electrical Wiring Fault Indicator: This LED indicator will Illuminate to warn the user that a wiring, problem exists, such as bad ground, missed
ground, or reversed wiring. If this is illumlnaled, user is advised to disconnect all electrical equipment from the outlet and have an electrician check he
outlet to insure proper ground.
4. Battery/ Surge Outlets: Provides batlery-powered/ surge outlets for the connected equipment and insures uninterrupted operation of your
equipment during a power failure.
5. Surge Only Outlets: Provides surge protection for non-critical equipmertl.
6, Serial Port to PC: The UPS communicates its status through the serial connection to the PC.
7. Communication Protection Ports: The communication protection ports are designed to protect siandard modem, fax, telephone or network line.
S. Circuit Breaker: Located on the side of the unit, the circuit breaker serves to provide circuit overload and fault protection. Under normal conditions, the circuit breaker is flush with the unit.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Make sure that the total Volt-Amp (VA) requirements of your computer, monitor and peripheral equipment does not exceed 685VA tor TE685AVR / 975VA for TE975AVR/USB,
2. Insure that the equipment plugged into the three battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit's rated capacity (685VA/360W for TE685AVR, 975VA/540W for TE975AVRAJSB). If rated unit
capacities are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or the circuit breaker to trip.
3. It the power requirements of your equipment are listed in units other than Volt-Amps (VA), convert Watt^ (W) or Amps (A) into VA by doing the calculations below. Note: The below equation only calculates the
maximum amount of VA that the equipment can use, not what is typically used by the equipment at any one time. Users should expect usage requirements to be approximately 80% of below value.

Add the totals up for all pieces of equipment and multiply this total by .6 to caicuiate actual requirements There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. The
total load ihai you will be placing on ihe battery-powered outlets should not exceed 80% of Ihe unit'scapaciiy.
