3.0 Installation

3.4 Connecting to the utility

The UPS is furnished with two 1.8 meter output power cords for connection to computer equipment having “IEC 320” male appliance couplers at their input. However, due to the variety of plug connectors required for connection to electrical service in countries where the UPS may be operated, an input line cord is not supplied from the factory. In most cases this will not be a problem as the input cord which currently powers your computer equipment may be swapped with one of the supplied output cords. Hence, the swapped out line cord can be used instead as the input line cord for the UPS. If this is not the case, ask your local dealer or the factory about obtaining an input line cord for your application. Extra output power cords are also available from the factory.

The UPS is compatible with all 220, 230 and 240 Vac mains voltages. During a mains failure, the UPS powers your load at a nominal voltage of 225 Vac.

3.5 Battery charging

The UPS is shipped from the factory with its internal battery in a fully charged state. However, the battery may lose some charge during shipping and storage. The battery should be recharged before conducting the followingTest for proper operation (section3.7) and to ensure that the UPS will provide expected run time. The UPS may be used immediately upon receipt, but may not provide expected run time in the event of a utility failure. The battery will recharge to full capacity within 6 hours when the UPS is plugged in and switched on. Once the battery has obtained a full charge, the UPS will maintain the charge as long as the UPS is plugged in, regardless of the position of the power I/0 switch.
