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 would like to use USB
interface, please connect the USB adapter with the Serial
Cable then connect the USB to your computer.
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.
DO NOT plug a laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum, paper shredder
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, modem line or network cable, connect a telephone
cable or network cable from the wall jack outlet to the IN jack of the UPS. Then
connect a telephone cable or network cable from the OUT jack on the UPS to the
modem, computer, telephone, fax machine, or network device.
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. 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.
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, unplug at least one piece of equipment, wait 10 seconds, check to
make sure that the circuit breakers are depressed, and turn the unit 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.
