Connect Equipment and Power to the UPS Startup
1. Connect equipment to the UPS. A laser printer draws significantly more power than other types
of equipment and may overload the UPS.
2. Add optional accessories to the Smart-Slot.
3. Plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounded receptacle only. Avoid using extension
cords.
230 V model: The power cord is supplied in the UPS cable kit. The TVSS ground, located on the
rear panel of the UPS must be connected prior to connecting the utility power.
4. 120 V model: Check the site wiring fault LED located on the rear panel. It will be illuminated
if the UPS is plugged into an improperly wired utility power outlet, (see Troubleshooting).
5. Turn on all connected equipment. To use the UPS as a master on/off switch, be sure all con-
nected equipment is on.
6. Press the button on the front panel to power the UPS.
