Charge the battery
The battery in the UPS will lose some charge during shipping and storage. It will
recharge completely after approximately 8 hours of normal operation. Do not expect
full battery runtime during this initial recharge period.
Connect the loads
Plug the loads into the output connectors on the rear of the UPS.
Caution: Never connect a laser printer or plotter to the UPS with other computer
equipment. A laser printer or plotter periodically draws significantly more power than
when idle, and may overload the UPS.
Operation
Switch On
With the UPS plugged in, press and hold the POWER button over 4 seconds until you
hear one beep sound to switch the UPS on. The UPS will perform a self-test each time
it's switched on.
Switch Off
By pressing and holding the POWER button over 4 seconds until you hear one beep
sound.
Self-Test
In normal utility power, push the POWER button less than 1 second and the UPS
performs a self-test on the battery capacity. During the self-test, the UPS operates in
backup mode, the BATTERY and FAULT icon stay on.
Backup (slow alarm)
When in Backup mode, the BATTERY and FAULT icon illuminate and the UPS sounds
a beep every four seconds. The alarms stops when the UPS returns to the utility power
operation. Press the POWER button to stop the beep.
Low Battery (rapid alarm)
In Backup mode, when the battery energy runs low, the UPS beeps rapidly until the
UPS shuts down from battery exhaustion or returns to utility power operation.
Overload (continuous alarm)
When the UPS is overloaded, the OVERLOAD icon illuminates and the UPS emits
a continuous alarm for 30 seconds to warn about an overload status. Disconnect
nonessential load equipment from UPS to eliminate the overload.
Maintenance
1. During normal use, an UPS battery will last three to six years depending on the
number of discharges and temperature. Replacement and servicing the battery
should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and
their precautions. Keep unauthorized persons away.
2. Charge the UPS's battery every 3 months during extended storage.
3. Disconnect the power during extended storage to avoid overcharge of the battery.
4. Avoid overload or short circuit even though the UPS has built-in overload and short
circuit protecting function.
