ALARMS

BATTERY BACK UP (Slow Alarm)
When in the UPS is in battery BACK-UP mode, the On Battery
(Yellow LED) illuminates and the UPS sounds an audible alarm. The
alarm stops when the UPS returns to normal ON LINE operation.
LOW BATTERY (Rapid Alarm)
When the UPS is in battery BACK-UP mode and the battery energy
begins to run low, the UPS will beep rapidly until it shuts down from
a depleted battery or returns to ON LINE normal operation.
OVERLOAD (Continuous alarm)
When the UPS is overloaded (the connected loads exceed the
maximum rated capacity), the UPS emits a continuous alarm to
warn of an overload condition. Disconnect nonessential equipment.
from the UPS to eliminate the overload.
FAULT (10 Seconds Continuously)
When the UPS occur fault, the UPS emits a 10 seconds continuous
alarm to warn of a fault condition. Disconnect the equipment from
the UPS prior to checking the equipment.

TOP & REAR PANEL
















TOP PANEL REAR PANEL

A SURGE-ONLY PROTECTED OUTLETS

Equipment such as a printer, fax machine, scanner, or a desk
lamp can be plugged into these outlets. These outlets do not
provide power during a power outage. These outlets are always
on (when AC power is available) & are not controlled by the
front panel switch.

B BATTERY BACK UP OUTLETS

Only data sensitive equipment such as a computer, monitor and
external drive should be plugged into these outlets. Battery
power is automatically provided in case of a power outage.
Power (AC or battery) is not supplied to these outlets when the
UPS is switched off. (Do not plug surge protectors or power
strips into the battery back up outlets).

C PHONE/FAX/ MODEM PROTECTION

The phone/fax/modem lines are surge protected and provide
complete safety for line connection.

D INTERFACE PORTS

The UPS provides a USB port for you use with your computer.

E AC INPUT BREAKER (CIRCUIT BREAKER)

The circuit breaker button will be triggered if an overload
condition forces the UPS to disconnect itself from utility power.
If the button sticks out, disconnect nonessential equipment and
depress breaker.

F AC INPUT POWER CORD

G SITE WIRING FAULT INDICATOR

The Site Wiring Fault LED will illuminate when one of the
following conditions exist:
1.

Open or high-resistance ground

2.

Hot and neutral polarity reversal

3.

Overloaded neutral circuit

INSTALLATION

Note!
Before installation, please inspect the UPS Upon
receipt. Make sure that the UPS is not damaged.

Connect to AC Utility Power
Connect the AC inlet to utility power via the power cord.
Check whether the Site Wiring Fault indicator is lit or not.
If so, please check the utility wiring.

Charging the Battery
For best results, charge the battery for 8 hours prior to initial use.

The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to the
utility power.

Plug in Power Devices
Plug your devices into the AC outlets on the top of the UPS. To

use the UPS as a master on/off switch, make sure all of the

loads are switched on.

Caution: Never connect a laser printer or

scanner to the backup outlets of UPS with

other computer equipment. A laser printer

or scanner draws significantly more power

when in use than when idle. This may

overload the UPS.

Turning on the UPS
Turn on your UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test

button for approximately 2 seconds until the “ON LINE” Green

comes on.

Turning off the UPS
Turn off the UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test
button for more than 2 seconds until the “ON LINE” or “ON
BATTERY” LED goes off.

To Conduct a 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 1.5 seconds 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 on-

battery backup power (the on-battery LED comes on). If

the UPS passes the self -test, it returns to on-line

operation. 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.

To Silence Audible Alarm
While in battery BACK-UP mode, push on/off/test button less

than 1.5 seconds to silence the audible alarm. (This does not

work if the UPS is under LOW BATTERY or OVERLOAD

condition.
All equipment must be turned off prior to hardware installation.

Connect the phone/ fax/ modem/ lines
Connect a single phone/ fax/ modem line into the
surge-protected sockets on the back of the UPS. The RJ-11
modular sockets accepts standard single line telephone
connections. The connection will require another length of
telephone cable, which is supplied.







Note!
This connection is optional but highly suggested as
phone/ fax/modem lines often carry dangerous surges and
spikes. The UPS works properly without a phone/ fax/ modem
connection.
Caution! The phone/ fax/modem protection feature could be
rendered inoperable if improperly installed. Make sure that the
telephone line from the wall is plugged into the connector
marked “IN”, and the device to be protected is plugged into the
connector marked “ OUT”.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

Replacement requires removing the battery cover plate on the

back or bottom of the UPS. No tools are needed. To replace

the batteries:

1. Press fastener to remove the battery cover plate on the

back of the UPS (Fig. 1).

2. Disconnect the insulated connectors from the battery

terminals (Fig. 2)

3. Remove the battery then insert a new battery pack, and

push the connectors onto the battery terminals (black to

black & red to red)(Fig. 3)
NOTE: There may be a small spark at the battery

terminals when reconnecting the connectors. This is

normal and will not harm you or the UPS.

4. Close the battery cover (Fig. 1).
