Operation, Alarm, Software Options, Self-Test

Operation

5.0Switch On

With the UPS plugged in, press and hold the on/off/test button for more than 1 second until the "LINE NORMAL" LED lights up to switch the UPS on. The UPS will perform self-testing each time it is switched on.

Note: When switched off the UPS maintains the battery charge and will respond to commands received through the computer interface port.

5.1Switch Off

Press and hold the on/off/test/ button for more than 3 seconds until the "LINE NORMAL" or "BACK-UP" LED goes off.

5.2SELF-TEST

Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the UPS and the condition of the battery. In normal utility power, push the on/off/test button less than 1 second and the UPS performs a self-test function. During the self-test, the UPS operates in back-up mode.

Note: During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the loads on-battery (the on-battery LED comes on).

If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to on-line operation. The on-battery LED goes off and the on-line LED goes on steady. If the UPS fails the self-test it immediately returns to on-line operation and lights the replace battery LED. The loads are not affected. Recharge the battery overnight and perform the self-test again. If the replace battery LED is still on, the battery will need to be replaced.

5.3SILENCE

In "BACK-UP" mode, push on/off/test less than 1 second to silence the audible alarm. (The function is void when under condition of "LOW BATTERY" or "OVERLOAD").

Note: In back-up mode, the UPS can be automatically turned off if none of the connected loads are operating.

Alarm

6.0BACK-UP (slow alarm)

When in "BACK-UP" mode, the YELLOW LED illuminates and the UPS sounds an audible alarm. The alarm stops when the UPS returns to LINE NORMAL operation.

6.1LOW BATTERY (rapid alarm)

In "BACK-UP" mode, when the battery energy runs low, the UPS beeps rapidly until the UPS shuts down from a depleted battery or returns to LINE NORMAL operation.

6.2OVERLOAD (continuous alarm)

When the UPS is overloaded (the connected loads exceed the maxi- mum rated capacity) the UPS emits a continuous alarm to warn of an overload condition. Disconnect nonessential equipment from UPS to eliminate the overload.

Software Options

7.0Belkin Shutdown Software

Belkin shutdown software receives communication through the RS232 interface to perform monitoring functions, and also provides an orderly shutdown of a computer in the event of power failure. Moreover, Belkin shutdown software displays all of the diagnostic symptoms on screen, such as Voltage level, Frequency, Battery level and etc.

The software is available for DOS, Windows® 3.x, Windows® 95, Windows® 98 and Windows® NT V3.5 or higher.

7.1Interface Kits

Each interface kit includes a special interface cable which is required to convert status signals from the UPS into signals that the individual operating system can recognize. The interface cable must be con- nected to the REMOTE PORT on the UPS. The other side of the interface cable can be either connected to COM 1 or COM 2 of your PC. For other installation instructions and features, please refer to the READ.ME file.

Caution: Use only factory supplied or authorized UPS monitoring cable!
