Indicators and what they mean

1.Check Battery Indicator - This indicator lights when ReSource® has detected a weak or worn out battery during the self-test which occurs every time the ReSource® is powered on by the master switch. If this indicator lights, you should:

Let the ReSource® charge for at least 12 hours. ReSource® must be plugged in and switched on ("Powered” light must be on) for the battery to charge.

Retest the battery by turning the switch off and then on again. The unit will run a 7-second self-test to determine the strength of the battery.

If the “Check Battery” light stays on at the completion of the self-test, the battery must be replaced. Contact your Belkinsales representative for information and obtaining a replacement battery. Battery Part # F5C500-B, # F5C510-B, # F5C520-B

2.Surge Protected Indicator - This indicator shows the status of your surge protection circuitry. This indicator lights when your ReSource® has full surge protection. If this light is not on, the unit has absorbed a power surge and needs to be replaced. Please contact Belkin Components for a replacement.

3.Wiring OK Indicator - This indicator lights when there is a good ground circuit and correct polarity in the building wiring. If this light does not come on you should consult an electrician to examine the building wiring. Connecting a Belkin ReSource® to an improperly grounded outlet will void all Belkin Components warranties. Do not attempt to use a “3 prong to 2 prong with ground screw adapter” to bypass the ground pin as this will void all Belkin Components warranties as well.

Installing Shutdown Software

Shutdown Software - This software closes all open files and saves them during a power failure. The software is also installation friendly. To install:

Charge ReSource® 2-4 hours before installing software.

Connect RS232 cable to PC.

Turn on ReSource® and boot up your computer.

Insert RUPS CD into CD drive.

Wait for (RUPS for Windows® 95/98 Setup) to appear on screen.

Follow installation commands.

Note: If (Connection error! Please check UPS cable, then restart Windows) appears on screen, check RS232 cable to see whether it is connected securely and properly.

Other Features

1.15 amp Circuit Breaker - Located above the main power switch and recessed for safety. If ReSource® is overloaded it will trigger this circuit breaker and disconnect power. To restore power simply unplug one piece of equipment and push the circuit breaker button in. Your ReSource® should stay powered. If not, consult the Amperage ratings on the connected devices and confirm that they do not exceed 15 amps total. Usually computers are 1-4 amps, fax machines 1-3, and most devices are below 2. You should not have a problem plugging in all your devices.

2.10Base-T Network Protection - Protects against surges coming through the network RJ45 line and damaging your computer. ReSource® will protect 10Base-T lines. A 5 ft. CAT 5 cable is included.

3.Solid State Phone/Fax/Modem Protection - Maximum protection for your RJ11 line. ReSource® uses a solid-state-sidactor which provides maximum protection with twice the clamping speed of an MOV. A 6 ft. phone cord is included.

4.Full Time Surge Suppression - ReSource® provides 1260 Joules of 3 line AC surge protection on all 8 outlets. Surge protection is always there, even if the main power is switched off.

5.Instant Back-Up Power Supply - 4 outlets are labeled as back-up power supply. These outlets will receive 120 volts of power when battery is in use. Do not plug any devices into these outlets that are not critical when utility power is cut. The more devices powered by the battery, the shorter the back-up time. If possible, only plug your monitor and PC into these outlets and save the rest for emergencies.
