HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the battery for at least four hours is
recommended to insure that the battery’s maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur during shipping and
storage. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the on as well as
the off position.
2. If you wish to use the software, connect the enclosed serial interface cable to the serial port on the UPS and an open serial port
on the computer. If you are not going to use the software, you do not need to connect the cable.
3. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device (Zip drive,
Jazz drive, Tape drive, etc…) into the battery power supplied outlets. Plug your peripheral equipment (printer, scanner, speakers)
into the full-time surge protection outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum or other large
electrical device into the UPS. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
4. To protect a fax, phone or modem, connect a telephone cable from the wall jack outlet to the in jack of the UPS. Connect a
telephone cable from the out jack with the CPU icon to the modem port on your computer.
The out jack with the telephone icon can be used to protect a telephone or fax machine.
5. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounding receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or
circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands (e.g. refrigerator, copier, etc…). Avoid using
extension cords. If used, the extension cord must be rated for 15 amps.
6. Depress the power switch to turn the unit on. The power on indicator light will illuminate and the unit will “beep” once.
7. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the unit will emit one long beep. To correct this, turn the UPS off and
unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power supplied outlets. Wait 10 seconds. Make sure the circuit breaker
is depressed and then turn the UPS on.
8. Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will automatically
recharge.
9. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
10. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the battery every three
months to insure battery life.
