Connecting Your Equipment

English

Plug the equipment into the output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS. Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs or surge strips on the output of the UPS. Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum output rating of the UPS (refer to the information label or the Electrical Specifications in this manual).

CAUTION! DO NOT connect a laser printer to the output receptacles on the UPS, unless the UPS is rated 2000VA or greater. A laser printer

draws significantly more power when printing than at idle and may overload the UPS.

CONNECTING THE UPS TO AN AC SOURCE

Plug the UPS into a two pole, three wire, grounded receptacle only. Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs, or surge strips.

CHECKING THE SITE WIRING FAULT (120V Models)

After plugging in the UPS, check the Site Wiring Fault (SWF) LED on the front panel of the UPS. If the SWF LED is illuminated, the UPS is plugged into an improperly wired AC outlet. If the UPS indicates a Site Wiring Fault (SWF), have a Qualified Electrician correct the problem.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The UPS will charge the internal batteries whenever the UPS is connected to an AC source and there is an acceptable AC voltage present. NOTE: The input circuit breaker MUST be in the on position for the 208V models. It is recom- mended that the UPS's batteries be charged for a minimum of 4 hours before use. The UPS may be used immediately, however, the “On-Battery” runtime may be less than normally expected. NOTE: If the UPS is going to be out of service or stored for a prolonged period of time, the batteries must be recharged for at least twenty-four hours every ninety days.

COMMUNICATIONS PORT CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)

The Power Monitoring Software and interface cables can be used with the UPS. Use only the interface cables that come with these UPSs. Connect the inter- face cable (Serial or USB) to the appropriate communications port on the rear panel of the UPS. Connect the other end of the cable to the device that will be monitoring/controlling the UPS. NOTE: Connecting to the Communications Port is optional. The UPS works properly without this connection.

NETWORK/PHONE/FAX/MODEM PROTECTION CONNECTION (OPTIONAL) Connect a 10/100 Base-T network, single line phone, Fax or Modem line to the RJ11/45 modular connectors on the rear panel of the UPS. This connection will require another length of telephone or network cable. The cable coming from the telephone service or networked system is connected to the port marked “IN”. The equipment to be protected is connected to the port marked "OUT". NOTE: Connecting to the Network/Phone/Fax/Modem modular connectors is optional. The UPS works properly without this connection.

RJ11 REPO (Remote Emergency Power Off) PORT (OPTIONAL)

Connect one end of the RJ11 cable to the REPO port and the other end of the RJ11 cable to the EPO switch. In the AC or the Battery mode short pin4 to pin5 for approximately 0.5-seconds to shutdown the UPS. The UPS must be turned off and then back on again to restart the UPS. NOTE: Connecting to the REPO port is optional. The UPS works properly without this connection.
