Place your unit in the desired location for use. Connect all equipment power cords to the receptacles on the rear of the UPS. Please insure you confirm total power requirements and do not overload the units.

Press and release the main power switch on the front of the unit to turn on the unit. Press and release again to turn off the unit. Some models have a circuit breaker on the rear panel that must be turned ON first and then press the front panel switch to turn the unit ON.

The unit will turn on, perform a self diagnostic test, switch to bypass mode and then turn on to full inverter mode automatically.

ALARMS

ON BATTERY

When the UPS is operating in the battery mode, the Battery Mode Icon will illuminate and the audible alarm will sound every 10 seconds. The alarm will stop and the Battery Mode Icon will extinquish once the UPS returns to AC normal operation.

UPS FAULT

When the UPS detects a fault, the Unit Fault Icon will illuminate and the UPS will emit a sustained tone. The unit will also display a failure code if available. (see section 5 Trouble- shooting for failure code definition)

OVERLOAD

When the amount of load attached to the UPS exceeds its power rating, the Unit Overload Icon will illuminate and the UPS will emit a sustained tone. This alarm will remain on until the excess load is removed or the UPS’s self protection circuit takes control. If the unit self protection circuit takes control, the unit will switch to bypass mode until the overload is removed. If the load is excessive, the input circuit breaker will open and the unit will shut down.

REPLACE BATTERY

The UPS automatically tests the battery’s condition and will illuminate the Unit Battery Icon and emit a short beep. This tone will be repeated every hour until the batteries passes a self test. It is recommended that the UPS be allowed to charge overnight before performing a battery test to confirm a Weak/Bad Battery condition.

LOW BATTERY WARNING

The UPS will emit two consecutive beeps every five seconds when the battery reserve runs low. This continues until AC returns or the UPS shuts down from battery exhaustion.
