Terminal Mode Configuration

Connect Power and Start Up the UPS

The UPS battery charges when it is connected to utility power and will charge to 90% capacity within three hours. Do not expect full battery run capability from a new bat- tery or after On Battery operation (see “On Battery Operation” on page 7) until the battery recharges.

Note To use the UPS as a master ON/OFF switch, ensure all connected equipment is switched on. The equipment will not be powered until the UPS is turned on.

1.Plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounded receptacle only. Avoid using extension cords.

a.Check to ensure that the Site Wiring Fault LED light on the back of the UPS is NOT illuminated (On position).

b.If the LED light is on, the outlet is incorrectly wired. Check with a licensed electrician to ensure that the outlet is properly wired.

2.To power up the UPS, press the button on the front panel.

3. Turn on all connected equipment.
