INSTALLING YOUR UPS SYSTEM
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 turned
off.
*Battery recharges 72 hours to 100% capacity
based on CEC, Energy Star efficiency test
standard.
2. With the UPS unit turned off and unplugged,
connect your equipment requiring battery backup
into the battery and surge protected outlets. Plug
the other peripheral equipment (printer, scanner,
speakers) into the full-time surge protection
outlets.
(DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder,
copier, space heater, vacuum, 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.
BASIC OPERATION
1. Power On Switch
To turn the UPS on, press the power button
for approximately 2 seconds - you will hear a
constant tone (1 second) - and release after a
short beep.
To turn the UPS off, press the power button
for approximately 2 seconds - you will hear a
constant tone (1 second) - and release after two
short beeps.
Alarm setting: If you need to switch the buzzer
mode, double-click the power button.

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.
8. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located
near the equipment being attached for proper
accessibility.
9. Lay the UPS horizontally or use the key-hole
mounting slots to affix the UPS to the wall in the
proper orientation.
2. Power On Indicator
The LED indicator will illuminate green when the
utility power is normal and the UPS outlets are
providing power, free of surges and spikes.
3. Battery and Surge Protected Outlets
The unit has five battery powered and surge
protected outlets to ensure temporary
uninterrupted operation of your equipment during
a power failure.
(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.)
4. Full-Time Surge Protection Outlets
The unit has two surge suppression outlets.
5. USB Charging Ports
USB-C Output : 5Vdc, 3A
USB-A Output : 5Vdc, 2.4A

DETERMINE THE POWER
REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the
outlet does not exceed the UPS unit's rated
capacity. 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.
