4. Operation
4.1 Simple test
It is recommended that the user perform a simulation test when using UPS for
the first time or when adding an additional piece of equipment. Conduct a
simulation-test: first, switch on UPS and wait for the power indicator to light up,
then simply unplug UPS to simulate the event of utility failure.
4.2 Check the power requirement of your equipment
4.2.1. Make sure the total power of your equipment does not exceed rating
capacity.

4.2.2. Also make sure the equipment you plugged into the Battery
Power-Supplied outlets does not require total power exceeding the capacity of
the UPS. Otherwise, overload may occur and cause the circuit breaker to trip. If
the power requirement of your equipment differs from VA, convert the
requirement power into VA by doing the calculations below:
4.2.3. If the power requirement of your equipment is listed other than VA,
convert the requirement into VA by doing the calculations below.
Watt (W) X 1.67 = VA, or Amps(A) X 120= VA (For
100-120V model)
Watt (W) X 1.67 = VA, or Amps(A) X 230= VA (For
220-240 model)
4.3 Limited rating power of UPS
When utility failure occurs, the UPS output outlets will supply power to your
equipment from its battery and the alarm will beep every 5 seconds. Be sure
that your equipment is running under the limited rating power. To restore the
utility by plugging UPS back in to the existing power source. Repeat the test a
few times to make sure UPS works properly and to find out the expected
runtime.
5. Software and Computer Interface
5.1 Power Monitoring Software
The UPSMON series software (or other power monitoring software) is applied
via a standard RS-232 interface to perform monitoring functions, and then
provides an orderly shutdown of a computer in the event of power failure.
Moreover, UPSMON displays all the diagnostic symptoms on the monitor, such as
Voltage, Frequency, Battery level and so on. The software is available for DOS,
Windows 3.1x, Windows 95/97/2000/ME/XP, Windows NT or later, Novell Netware,
Linux and others. Call your dealer for more information on computer OS
compatible solutions.
5.2 Interface Kits
A series of interface kits is available allowing UPS monitoring. Each interface kit
includes the special interface cable required to convert status signals from the
UPS into signals which individual operating system recognize. The interface cable
at UPS side must be connected to the REMOTE PORT, at computer side the
connection can be either COM 1 or COM 2. For other installation instructions and
powerful features, please refer to READ.ME file contained within the UPSMON
software.
5.3 The characteristics of the computer interface port
The computer interface port has the following characteristics:
The communication port on the back of the UPS may be connected to host
computer. This port allows the computer to monitor the status of the UPS and
control the operation of the UPS in some cases. Its major functions normally
