Introduction
This Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags and surges from reaching
your computer and other valuable electronic equipment. This UPS also filters out small utility line fluctuations and
isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from the utility line, while supplying power
from its internal batteries until the utility line returns to safe levels.
While running on battery, an internal alarm will sound (periodic beeps). The on/test button may be pressed to silence the
UPS alarm.
If the utility power does not return, the UPS will continue supplying power to the connected equipment until exhausted. A
continuous beeping will sound two minutes before the UPS’s final low battery shutdown. If using a computer, you must
manually save your files and power down before the UPS turns itself off, unless you are using PowerChute interface
software that provides automatic, unattended shutdown.
Unpacking
Inspection
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage. The packaging is recyclable; save it for
reuse or dispose of it properly.
Contents
The shipping package contains the UPS, its batteries, and, for some rack mount units, rails to hold the UPS in a rack. The
5000 VA unit ships with the batteries separate from the UPS case.
How to Unpack the SU 5000 UPS
Move the UPS, in its shipping package, as close to the desired location as possible. Then follow these instructions:
Use scissors or a knife to cut
the plastic straps and open the
package.
Read this User’s Manual for safety
information and installation
instructions.
Unpack the box containing the
mounting rails.
Remove the foam spacers.
Lift off the cardboard box that
covers the top and sides of the
package. The bottom of the
box is formed by a wooden
pallet.
Pull the plastic bag down to expose the
UPS.
Lift the UPS up and out of the
box.
Remove the batteries from the pallet.
Caution:
The 5000 VA models (without batteries installed) require two people to lift due to their weight.
