CONNECTING POWER AND EQUIPMENT TO THE UPS

1.Plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounding receptacle only. Avoid using extension cords and adapter plugs. Your UPS is not supplied with an input line cord. Three output line cords are supplied for connecting equipment (loads). Additional cords are available from your dealer.

Swap an input cord from another piece of equipment with one of the supplied output cords. The input cord used for the UPS must be three conductor—1.0 mm2, rated 10 Amps. Use this equip- ment cord to connect the UPS to utility power. If your equipment does not have a removable line cord, see your dealer or contact APC to obtain a suitable input line cord.

2.Connect equipment to the UPS.

3.Turn on all connected equipment (loads). To use the UPS as a master ON/OFF switch, be sure all connected loads are switched ON. The loads will not be powered until the UPS is turned on.

4.Add any optional accessories. See the documentation accompanying the accessory for details.

Use the cable provided with your UPS to connect to the Computer Interface Port. DO NOT use a standard serial interface cable since it is incompatible with the UPS connector.

Do not connect a laser printer to the UPS. A laser printer draws significantly more power than other types of equipment and may overload the UPS.

TURNING ON THE UPS

Press and release the button labeled TEST. This will supply power to the connected equipment. Make sure connected loads are switched to their ON position. The UPS performs a self-test at this time.

The UPS charges its battery when it is connected to utility power. The battery charges fully during the first four hours of normal operation. Do not expect full run time 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 Operation Manual for details on changing the default interval.

ACCESSORIES

This UPS is equipped with an accessory slot. See the APC website, www.apcc.com for available accessories.

If a standard accessory (such as an SNMP card) is installed on this UPS, see the Utility CD for user documentation.

For additional computer system security, install PowerChutePlus® Smart-UPS monitoring software. It provides automatic unattended shutdown capabilities on most major network operating systems.
