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 ensure 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 and off position.
2.If you plan to use the included software, connect either the serial cable or the USB cable to the corresponding port on the UPS and the computer. Note: if the USB port is used the serial port will be disabled. To control multiple computers install PowerPanel® Business Edition Agent on the computer connected with the USB cable and PowerPanel® Business Edition Slave on the remaining computers.
3.With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device (Hard 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 grounded 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. air conditioner, refrigerator, copier, etc.). Avoid using extension cords.
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.Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will automatically recharge.
8.To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
9.To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the battery every three months to ensure battery life.
10.Professional Rack Mount UPS provide one serial port, one dry contact port, and one USB port to allow communication between the UPS and computers or equipment. The dry contact port (Serial Port II) signals information for equipment that can utilize a dry contact UPS. The primary computer, with PowerPanel® Business Edition installed, connected to Serial Port I or the USB port is the computer that you use to control the UPS. When there is a power failure, the primary computer which connects to Serial Port I or the USB port will start to shutdown after a user controlled delay. PowerPanel® Business Edition Agent software will save and close any open files prior to shutting the system down and signal any configured slaves to shutdown.
11.EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port:
The feature is used with EPO controllers. Use the provided gray cable to connect to an EPO contact switch. Follow the appropriate circuit diagram below to wire the cable to match your EPO configuration. EPO remote switch which is a Push-Back button installed computer room outside by a phone line, and not connected any other equipment.

LCD STATUS DEFINITION
INPUT voltage meter: INPUT voltage meter: This meter measures the AC voltage that the UPS system is receiving from the utility wall outlet. The INPUT voltage readout can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify poor-quality input power. The AVR in this UPS continuously conditions the power to a stable 110/120V output to connected equipment. In the event of a complete power loss, severe brownout, or over voltage, the UPS relies on its internal battery back up to supply a consistent 110/120V output.
OUTPUT voltage meter: This meter measures, in real time, the AC voltage that the UPS system is providing to the computer, such as normal line mode, AVR mode and battery back up mode.
Note: The OUTPUT voltage readout displays the status of the battery back up outlets.
ESTIMATE RUN TIME: This displays the run time estimate of the UPS with the current battery capacity and load.
NORMAL icon: This icon appears when the UPS is working under normal conditions.
BATTERY icon: During a severe brownout or blackout, this icon appears and an alarm sounds (two short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its Internal batteries. During an extended brownout or blackout that drains the battery, a continuous alarm will sound (and the BATT. CAPACITY readout will show a single shaded segment, equaling 20% battery capacity remaining) indicating the UPS batteries are nearly out of power. If this occurs, it is recommended that you save your files and manually power down your equipment immediately.
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) icon: This icon appears whenever your UPS is automatically correcting low AC input line voltage without using battery power. This is a normal, automatic operation of your UPS, and no action is required. SILENT MODE icon: This icon appears whenever the UPS is in silent mode. The buzzer does not beep during silent mode until the battery reaches low capacity.
