220/230/240 Vac versions

The 220/230/240 Vac version UPS is not furnished with an input line cord. Instead, two output cords are supplied. However, in most installations it will not be necessary to purchase a UPS input power cord. Simply swap the line cords from your equipment with the furnished output cords. Plug in the UPS using one of the swapped out equipment cords. The UPS's input cord must be three conductor, each 1.0 mm2, rated to 10 Amps.

In the event your equipment does not have a removable line cord, the provided rewireable plug may be installed on the line cord. Additional output cords and adapter plugs are available from your dealer and from the factory.

The UPS may be configured to operate where 240 Vac, 50 Hz service is provided. When Option switch 2 is set to the on position, the UPS's transfer and on-battery output voltages are adjusted for proper operation on 240 Vac service. See section 5.6.

4.4.2 Enable UPS

Move the UPS Enable switch to the on ( I ) position. When shipped, this switch is in the off position to prevent accidental activation of the UPS. The batteries will not appreciably dis- charge if this switch is left on.

Allow the UPS to charge its battery for at least 8 hours before use. The UPS recharges its battery whenever the utility voltage is normal and UPS Enable switch is ON. While the UPS was shipped from the factory with the batteries in a fully charged state, the batteries may lose some charge during shipping and storage. You may use the UPS immediately without charging, but the Low Battery indicator may illuminate and the UPS may have reduced backup time until the battery has had an opportunity to charge.
