Software Options
7.0 Belkin Shutdown Software
Belkin shutdown software receives communication through the
RS232 interface to perform monitoring functions, and also provides
an orderly shutdown of a computer in the event of power failure.
Moreover, Belkin shutdown software displays all of the diagnostic
symptoms on screen, such as Voltage level, Frequency, Battery
level and etc.
The software is available for DOS, Windows ® 3.x, Windows ® 95,
Windows ® 98 and Windows ® NT V3.5 or higher.
7.1 Interface Kits
Each interface kit includes a special interface cable which is required
to convert status signals from the UPS into signals that the individual
operating system can recognize. The interface cable must be con-
nected to the REMOTE PORT on the UPS. The other side of the
interface cable can be either connected to COM 1 or COM 2 of your
PC. For other installation instructions and features, please refer to
the READ.ME file.
Caution: Use only factory supplied or authorized UPS monitoring cable!
6.0 BACK-UP (slow alarm)
When in "BACK-UP" mode, the YELLOW LED illuminates and the
UPS sounds an audible alarm. The alarm stops when the UPS returns
to LINE NORMAL operation.
6.1 LOW BATTERY (rapid alarm)
In "BACK-UP" mode, when the battery energy runs low, the UPS
beeps rapidly until the UPS shuts down from a depleted battery or
returns to LINE NORMAL operation.
6.2 OVERLOAD (continuous alarm)
When the UPS is overloaded (the connected loads exceed the maxi-
mum rated capacity) the UPS emits a continuous alarm to warn of an
overload condition. Disconnect nonessential equipment from UPS to
eliminate the overload.

5.0 Switch On
With the UPS plugged in, press and hold the on/off/test button for
more than 1 second until the "LINE NORMAL" LED lights up to
switch the UPS on. The UPS will perform self-testing each time it is
switched on.
Note: When switched off the UPS maintains the battery
charge and will respond to commands received through
the computer interface port.
5.1 Switch Off
Press and hold the on/off/test/ button for more than 3 seconds until
the "LINE NORMAL" or "BACK-UP" LED goes off.
5.2 SELF-TEST
Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the UPS and the
condition of the battery. In normal utility power, push the on/off/test
button less than 1 second and the UPS performs a self-test function.
During the self-test, the UPS operates in back-up mode.
Note: During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the
loads on-battery (the on-battery LED comes on).
If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to on-line operation. The
on-battery LED goes off and the on-line LED goes on steady. If the
UPS fails the self-test it immediately returns to on-line operation and
lights the replace battery LED. The loads are not affected. Recharge
the battery overnight and perform the self-test again. If the replace
battery LED is still on, the battery will need to be replaced.
5.3 SILENCE
In "BACK-UP" mode, push on/off/test less than 1 second to silence
the audible alarm. (The function is void when under condition of
"LOW BATTERY" or "OVERLOAD").
Note: In back-up mode, the UPS can be automatically
turned off if none of the connected loads are operating.
