1. Checking
When you receive your equipment, open the packaging and check that your UPS has not
been damaged. Packaging includes: UPS unit, and a user guide. In the event of damage,
please submit a standard claim to the after-sales service department.
2. Charging the batteries
This unit is shipped from the factory with its internal battery fully charged, however, some
charge may be lost during shipping and the battery should be recharged prior to use. Plug
the unit into an appropriate power supply and allow the UPS to charge fully by leaving it
plugged-in, with no load, for at least 16 hours.
The UPS will automatically recharge its own batteries whenever the switch is in the "ON"
position ("ON LINE" green LED on). You may use the UPS immediately, however backup
power capacity may be lower than the nominal value required.
3. Placement & storage conditions
The UPS has been designed to operate in a protected environment, at temperatures
between 0°C and 40°C and at a humidity level ranging between 0% and 90% (no
condensation).
Do not obstruct the ventilation slots. Install the unit in an environment which is free from
dust, chemical vapours and conductors. Moreover, in order to avoid any interference, keep
the UPS at least 20cm away from the CPU (central processing unit).
4. Connection
Check the identification plate at the back of the UPS to make sure that the power supply is
compatible with network voltage and that the device is powerful enough to protect the given
load.
5. On/Off
Press the UPS On/Off switch for 1 second and the UPS comes on in normal run mode (the
green light is on and the beeper is off). The UPS then performs a self-diagnosis (the beeper
and the red and green indicator lights are on) for several seconds. The user may now turn
on the PC and other connected loads. Press the UPS On/Off switch for 1 second to turn it
off.
Note: 1 - For maintenance purposes, please turn the UPS on before the PC and other loads,
and turn it off after the connected loads are turned off.
2 – We recommend you leave the UPS on the rest of the time with the battery charging
(even if the loads are turned off). This will help extend the battery's useful life.
6. DC Start
HERO units are equipped with an integrated DC start function. To start the UPS in the
absence of a power supply and with a full battery, simply press the button.
7. Power Saving Function
If no load is connected to the UPS or if a very small load is connected, the UPS will
automatically shut down after 30 minutes.
8 . B A T T E R Y
The battery is the only UPS component which is not in permanent use. It has a useful life of
approximately 3 to 5 years. However, frequent major discharges or exposure to
temperatures over 20C will shorten its life span. We therefore recommend that users
recharge the battery once every 3 months when the unit is not in use in order to compensate
for natural discharging. UPS backup time will depend on the powered load, as well as the
age and condition of the batteries.
