Quick Installation
Note! Although some installation procedures are common to all models, some procedures vary depending
on whether you are installing a SmartPro model or an OmniSmart model.
For All Models—Plug your UPS
into a 3-wire grounded, 120V AC,
60 Hz utility outlet.
Note: UL2601-1 listed UPS systems only meet UL standard 2601-1
for medical equipment when plugged into a hospital-grade outlet.
For SmartPro Models Only:
After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the
UPS will automatically charge its batteries, but
will not supply power to its outlets until it is
turned ON (see Step 3 below). The BATTERY
CHARGE LED will be the only LED illuminated.
For OmniSmart Models Only:
Your UPS will run a self-test after it is plugged
in. See Basic Operation to understand the results of
its self-test.
For All Models—Plug your
equipment into the UPS.*
* Your UPS is designed to only support computer equipment. You
will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment
you connect exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity (see
Specifications). To find your equipment’s VA ratings, look on their
nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number
of amps by 120 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA).
If you are unsure if you have overloaded the UPS’s outlets, see
“OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description.
For SmartPro Models Only—Turn
the UPS ON.
Press and hold the “POWER” button for one
second. The alarm will beep once briefly after
one second has passed. Release the button.
For OmniSmart Models Only—
Select UPS Operating Mode.*
Press the UPS/STANDBY button to toggle your
UPS between the UPS (“POWER” LED lit) and
the STANDBY (“POWER” LED flashing)
modes. Choose the operating mode based on
your location:
USA, Canada & Western Europe:
• Leave the UPS in the UPS mode at all times.
All Other Countries:
• Put the UPS in the STANDBY mode when
you are not using connected equipment.
(WARNING! When set to “CHARGE ONLY,” the UPS will not
provide battery backup during a blackout or brownout.)
• Put the UPS in the UPS mode when you are
using connected equipment.
*See Basic Operation section for a complete explanation of
each mode.
