Introduction & Important Safety Instructions Dear Customer, Thank you for selecting a Marathon Power Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). You can rest assured that you have purchased a product consistent with our reputation for quality and reliability. It will provide you with years of protection against disruptive and costly powerdisturbances. As future needs arise, we hope you will consider other products of ours.
1. Overview For use in the most critical applications, these models are true on-line, double conversion designs that provide a continuous, true sine-wave output with less than 3% total harmonic distortion (THD). They allow for a wide input voltage range of +-27% and also feature power factor correction and dual microprocessors for control of all functions.
EMC Statements FCC Part 15 NOTICE: Pursuant to section 15 of the FCC rules, this product has been tested and thereby complies with the conditions of a Class B (700-2000VA) and Class A (3000VA) digital device, which have been established for offering sufficient protection against dangerous interference for installation in a residential area.

5. Operation 5.1 Turn-ON With the UPS connected to an A/C power source, press the ON/TEST button more than 2 seconds to energize the UPS. It will perform a self-test each time it is switched ON. Where applicable verify the circuit breaker on rear panel is ON.
5.8 Manual Bypass Mode The UPS can be 'forced' into manual bypass by simultaneously pressing the ON and OFF buttons for 3 seconds. The UPS will then be in bypass mode and the load will be connected directly to the source. The Bypass icon on the LCD display will be illuminated.
8. Care & Maintenance 1. Keep the unit clean and vacuum the ventilation intake periodically. 2. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. 3. Check for loose and/or bad connections monthly. 4. Never leave the unit on an uneven surface. 5. Position the unit to allow at least 1/2” (1.3 cm) clearance between the rear panel and the wall. 6.
• Use tools with insulated handles. Marathon Power recommends that you contact our tech support for assistance with battery replacement. To change the batteries for the Tower units: 1. Unplug the UPS unit from the AC power source and disconnect all connected equipment.
UPS‘s battery every 6 months. During extended storage in environments where the ambient temperature is +86 to +113°F (+30 to +45°C), charge the UPS‘s battery every 3 months. 12.
