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, telephone or modem line, connect a telephone cable from the wall jack outlet to the in jack of the UPS. Connect a telephone
cable the out-jack on the UPS with the CPU icon to the modem port of the computer. The out-jack with the telephone icon can be used to protect
a telephone or fax machine line.
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.
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.
