Check the Site Wiring Fault Indicator
Location: Top right corner of UPS back panel.
Caution: If the site wiring fault indicator lights, get a qualified electrician to correct the building wiring.
Connect the Loads
Plug the loads into the output connectors on the rear of the UPS. To use the UPS as a master “On/Off” switch, make sure that all of the loads are switched “On”.
Caution: Do not connect a laser printer to the Battery Backup Outlets.
Battery Backup Outlets: These UPS outlets provide battery power and surge protection to equipment when utility voltage is outside acceptable limits. Data sensitive equipment such as a computer, monitor, or external drive are connected to these outlets.
The loads are not affected by a failed test. Recharge the battery overnight and perform the

Overload
When loads exceed the UPS’s capacity,
the overload LED illuminates and the UPS emits a sustained tone. The alarm
remains “On” until the overload is removed. Disconnect nonessential load equipment from the battery backup outlets, to eliminate the overload.
If the overload is severe, the input circuit breaker may trip (the resettable center plunger of the circuit breaker pops out), as well. Disconnect nonessential load equipment from the UPS to eliminate the overload and press the plunger back in to restart the UPS.
If there is AC power and the circuit breaker does not trip during overload, the loads are still powered. If the circuit breaker trips or the UPS attempts to transfer to battery, the loads’ power will be shut “Off”. Turn the UPS “Off” then back “On” to repower the loads.

Shutdown Mode
If there is no power, the host connected to the computer interface port can command the UPS to shut down. This is normally done to preserve battery capacity after a controlled shutdown of the protected system. In shutdown mode the UPS stops supplying power to the load. The on- line and overload LED indicators flash alternately or, if the UPS has shutdown due to a low battery, the UPS will beep once every 4 seconds for approximately 16 seconds. When line power is restored, the UPS will return to
Cold Start
Note: Cold start is not a normal operating condition.
When the UPS is “Off” and there is no utility power, it is possible to cold start the UPS to power the loads from the UPS’s battery.
• Press and hold the On/Off/Test button until the UPS begins beeping.
•Release the On/Off/Test button during the beeping to start the UPS.
