HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1.Make sure that the total Volt-Amp (VA) requirements of your computer, monitor, and peripheral equipment does not exceed 1500VA (950 Watts).

2.If the power requirements of your equipment are listed in units other than Volt-Amps (VA), convert Watts (W) or Amps (A) into VA by doing the calculations below. Note: The below equation only calculates the maximum amount of VA that the equipment can use, not what is typically used by

the equipment at one time. Users should expect usage requirements to be approximately 80% of below value to estimate power requirements:

Watts (W) x 1.60= VA or Amps(A) x 125= VA

Add the totals up for all pieces of equipment and multiply this total by 0.8 to calculate the actual power requirements.

There are many factors that can effect the amount of power that your computer system will require. The total load that you will be placing on the battery-powered outlets should not exceed 80% of the unit’s capacity.

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 either the on or 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. Use of the software is optional. If you are not going to use the software, you do not need to connect the cable.

3.With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device (Tape drive, Zip Drive, etc...) into the battery powered outlets. Items such as copiers, laser printers, vacuums, space heaters, or other large electrical devices should not be connected

to the UPS. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the UPS.

4.To protect your modem, phone or fax, connect a phone cable to the phone jack on the wall and the “IN” port on the UPS. Connect another phone cable to the “OUT” port on the UPS and your phone, fax, or modem device.
