TURNING ON THE UPS
1. Make sure the battery is connected before turning on the UPS! Press the button on the front
panel to power up the UPS. This will power up connected equipment. Make sure connected
equipment is switched to the ON position.
The UPS charges its battery when it is connected to utility power. The battery charges
fully during the first 24 hours of normal operation. Do not expect full battery run capa-
bility during this initial charge period.
The unit performs a self-test automatically when turned on and every two weeks thereafter (by de-
fault). Refer to the User Configurable Items in Chapter 4, for details on changing the default interval.
2. 120V models: Check the site wiring fault LED located on the rear panel. It lights up if the UPS is
plugged into an improperly wired utility power outlet. Wiring faults detected include missing
ground, hot-neutral polarity reversal, a nd overloaded neutral circuit.
If the UPS indicates a site wiring fault, get a qualified electrician to correct the
building wiring.
