3.6 CONNECTIONS
3.6.1 Connecting interface devices
.
If you do not want to use the communication capabilities of the UPS, please skip this section and proceed with 3.5.2.
The UPS is equipped with two interface ports: a USB port and an RJ11 port, allowing advanced communication between the
UPS and a computer (network). Refer to section 5 for more detailed information.
3.6.2 Connecting power and load
NOTE
The UPS output sockets can be live as soon as the UPS is connected to the main power supply, even if
the UPS has not been switched on via the front panel.
1 Switch off your computer, and unplug it from the socket-outlet.
Fig. 3.5.2: Connecting power and load
NOTE
Grid supply is 120 Volt, 50/60 Hz,
fused (see section 3.2)
2 Disconnect the power cord from the computer (see note
below) and connect this cord to the male input socket (1, fig.
3.4a/b) at the rear of the UPS.
3 Add up the power consumption (in VA) of the appliances that
will be protected by the UPS (‘the load’) and make sure that the
resulting value does not exceed the VA output rating of the
UPS. This way you ensure that the UPS is able to supply the
required output and prevent that an overload situation will
happen.
4. Using the output cords (see note below) connect the load to
the appliance outlets (3, fig. 3.4a/b) of the unit. Spread the
loads over the appliance outlets as equally as possible. If you
use a distribution box to connect more than one appliance per
outlet, please note that the maximum AC-current rating of each
appliance outlet is 20A (3, outlets on fig. 3.4a/b).
5 Connect the mains cord of the UPS to a working, grounded AC
wall socket outlet. The green LED ‘operation’ will blink now:
mains power is available and the batteries are charging. If the
LED does not blink but illuminates continuously instead, press
keypad ‘0’ for one second.
If both LEDs ‘operation’ and ‘alarm’ blink and the beeper
sounds 1/2secs, phase and neutral are reversed at the input
of the UPS. Please read 4.4.12 and take appropriate measures.
For best results, allow the UPS to recharge the batteries during a
period of approx. 2 hours. It is acceptable to use the UPS without
first charging the battery, but the runtime may be reduced.
NOTE:
To connect UPS and loads use Cables meeting the below requirements:
Detachable UL Listed, SJT Type flexible cord with grounding type plug, maximum 14.76 ft. (4.5m) long.
