Introduction
This Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is designed to prevent blackouts, brownouts, sags and surges from reaching your computer and other valuable electronic equipment. This UPS also filters out small utility line fluctuations and isolates your equipment from large disturbances by internally disconnecting from the utility line, while supplying power from its internal batteries until the utility line returns to safe levels.
While running on battery, an internal alarm will sound (periodic beeps). The on/test button may be pressed to silence the UPS alarm.
If the utility power does not return, the UPS will continue supplying power to the connected equipment until exhausted. A continuous beeping will sound two minutes before the UPS’s final low battery shutdown. If using a computer, you must manually save your files and power down before the UPS turns itself off, unless you are using PowerChute interface software that provides automatic, unattended shutdown.
Unpacking
Inspection
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is damage. The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse or dispose of it properly.
Contents
The shipping package contains the UPS, its batteries, and, for rack mount units, rails to hold the UPS in a rack. The 5000 VA unit ships with the batteries separate from the UPS case.
How to Unpack the SU 5000 UPS
Move the UPS, in its shipping package, as close to the desired location as possible. Then follow these instructions:
Use scissors or a knife to cut the plastic straps and open the package.
Unpack the box containing the mounting rails.
Lift off the cardboard box that covers the top and sides of the package. The bottom of the box is formed by a wooden pallet.
Lift the UPS up and out of the box.
Read this User’s Manual for safety information and installation instructions.
Remove the foam spacers.
Pull the plastic bag down to expose the UPS.
Remove the batteries from the pallet.
Caution:
The UPS (without batteries installed) requires two people to install due to its weight.
