ALARMS

Battery BACK UP (Slow Alarm)

When in the UPS is in battery BACK-UP mode, the On Battery (Yellow LED) illuminates and the UPS sounds an audible alarm. The alarm stops when the UPS returns to normal ON LINE operation.

Low Battery (Rapid Alarm)

When the UPS is in battery BACK-UP mode and the battery energy begins to run low, the UPS will beep rapidly until it shuts down from a depleted battery or returns to ON LINE normal operation.

OVERLOAD (Continuous alarm)

When the UPS is overloaded (the connected loads exceed the maximum rated capacity), the UPS emits a continuous alarm to warn of an overload condition. Disconnect nonessential equipment.

from the UPS to eliminate the overload.

FAULT (10 Seconds Continuously)

When the output is shorted, the UPS emits a 10 seconds continuous alarm to warn of a short condition. Disconnect the equipment from the UPS prior to checking the equipment.

Installation

Note!

Before installation, please inspect the UPS Upon receipt. Make sure that the UPS is not damaged.

Connect to AC Utility Power

Connect the AC inlet to utility power via the power cord. Check whether the Site Wiring Fault indicator is lit or not. If so, please check the utility wiring.

Charging the Battery

For best results, charge the battery for 6 hours prior to initial use. The UPS must be turned on to charge. The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to the utility power. Should you see the red battery light come on, the battery may need immediate charging.

Plug in Power Devices

Plug your devices into the AC outlets on the top of the UPS. To use the UPS as a master on/off switch, make sure all of the loads are switched on.

Caution: Never connect a laser printer or scanner to the backup outlets of UPS with other computer equipment. A laser printer or scanner draws significantly more power when in use than when idle. This may overload the UPS.

LaserPrinter

Turning on the UPS

Turn on your UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test button for approximately 3 seconds until the “ON LINE” Green comes on. The

UPS will perform a self-test each time the UPS is switched on.

Note! The UPS maintains the battery charge when in the off position and will respond to commands received through the computer interface port.

Turning off the UPS

Turn off the UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test button for more than 3 seconds until the “ON LINE” or “ON BATTERY” LED goes off.

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 2 seconds 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 on- battery backup power (the on-battery LED comes on). If the UPS passes the self -test, it returns to on-line operation. 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.

To Silence Audible Alarm

While in battery BACK-UP mode, push on/off/test button less than 2 seconds to silence the audible alarm. (This does not work if the UPS is under LOW BATTERY or OVERLOAD condition.

All equipment must be turned off prior to hardware installation.

INTERNET/PHONE/FAX/DSL/NETWORK PROTECTION

The internet/phone/fax/DSL/network lines are surge protected and provide complete safety for line connection.

INTERFACE PORTS

The UPS provides both a USB and RS232 port for you use with your computer. NOTE: Choose one port only.

BATTERY BACK UP OUTLETs

Only data sensitive equipment such as a computer, monitor and external drive should be plugged into these outlets. Battery power is automatically provided in case of a power outage. Power (AC or battery) is not supplied to these outlets when the UPS is switched off. (Do not plug surge protectors or power strips into the battery back up outlets).

SURGE-ONLY PROTECTED OUTLETS

Equipment such as a printer, fax machine, scanner, or a desk lamp can be plugged into these outlets. These outlets do not provide power during a power outage. These outlets are always on (when AC power is available) & are not controlled by the front panel switch.

AC INPUT BREAKER (CIRCUIT BREAKER)

The circuit breaker button will be triggered if an overload condition forces the UPS to disconnect itself from utility power. If the button sticks out, disconnect nonessential equipment and depress breaker.

SITE WIRING FAULT INDICATOR

The Site Wiring Fault LED will illuminate when one of the following conditions exist:

1.Open or high-resistance ground

2.Hot and neutral polarity reversal

3.Overloaded neutral circuit

System Requirements

The UPS can be used without the software and can be used with any computer using upto a 21” monitor or a flat panel screen. Also, you do not have to have the software installed to utilize the battery backup outlets.

To fully utilize the UPS and its software, your computer must be able to operate the following operating systems: 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP & Novell

3.X & Higher and have a Serial or USB port.

Connect the phone/fax/modem/network lines

Connect a single Internet/ phone/ fax/ DSL/network line into the surge- protected sockets on the back of the UPS. The RJ-11/RJ-45 modular sockets accepts standard single line telephone connections. The connection will require another length of telephone cable, which is supplied.

IN OUT

Telephone	Phone
Socket	Modem/ Fax

Note! This connection is optional but highly suggested as Internet/ phone/ fax/modem/ DSL/network lines often carry dangerous surges and spikes. The UPS works properly without a phone/ fax/ modem / DSL connection.

Caution! The Internet/ phone/ fax/modem/ DSL/network protection feature could be rendered inoperable if improperly installed. Make sure that the telephone line from the wall is plugged into the connector marked “IN”, and the device to be protected is plugged into the connect or marked “ OUT”.

Serial or USB Communication Port (Installation Optional)

To fully utilize the Bulldog Shutdown Software; you will need to connect the UPS to your computer.

The communication port will provide the following features:

1.Monitoring charger status

2.Monitoring UPS status

3.Monitoring battery status and condition

4.Monitoring the utility status

5.Use the ON/OFF/TEST UPS power switch function to schedule

6.UPS for power saving

You may connect the UPS to your computer by choosing either the Serial or USB ports. Note: Choose one port only. Do not connect your computer through both ports.
