A_ BATTERY BACK UP SURGE PROTECTION OUTLETS Only data sensitive equipment such as a computer, monitor and external drive should be plugged into these outlets. Battery power is automatically provided in case of a power outage. Power (AC or battery) is not supplied to these outlets when the UPS is switched off. (Do not plug surge protectors or power strips into the battery back up outlets).
Note! During the AVR Mode, the total load that you will be placing on the battery back up outlets should not exceed 80% of the unit’s capacity.
B_ PHONE/FAX/ MODEM PROTECTION
The phone/fax/modem lines are surge protected and provide complete safety for line connection.
C_ INTERFACE PORTS (USB & RS232)
The UPS provides both a USB and RS232 port for use with your computer. NOTE: Choose one port only.
D_ AC INPUT BREAKER (CIRCUIT BREAKER)
The circuit breaker button will be triggered if an overload condition forces the UPS to disconnect itself from utility power. If the button sticks out, disconnect nonessential equipment and depress breaker.
E_ AC INPUT POWER CORD
F_ SITE WIRING FAULT INDICATOR
The Site Wiring Fault LED will illuminate when one of the following conditions exist:
1.Open or
2.Hot and neutral polarity reversal
3.Overloaded neutral circuit

INSTALLATION
Note!
Before installation, please inspect the UPS Upon receipt. Make sure that the UPS is not damaged.
Connect to AC Utility Power
Connect the AC inlet to utility power via the power cord. Check whether the Site Wiring Fault indicator is lit or not. If so, please check the utility wiring.
Charging the Battery
For best results, charge the battery for 8 hours prior to initial use. The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to the utility power.
Plug in Power Devices
Plug your devices into the AC outlets on the rear of the UPS. To use the UPS as a master on/off switch, make sure all of the loads are switched on.
Caution: Never connect a laser printer or scanner to the backup outlets of UPS with other computer equipment. A laser printer or scanner draws significantly more power when in use than when idle. This may overload the UPS.
Turning on the UPS
Turn on your UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test button for approximately 2 seconds until the “ON LINE” Green comes on.
Turning off the UPS
Turn off the UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test button for more than 2 seconds until the “ON LINE” or “ON BATTERY” LED goes off.

Note! This connection is optional but highly suggested as phone/ fax/modem lines often carry dangerous surges and spikes. The UPS works properly without a phone/ fax/ modem connection.
Caution! The phone/ fax/modem protection feature could be rendered inoperable if improperly installed. Make sure that the telephone line from the wall is plugged into the connector marked “IN”, and the device to be protected is plugged into the connector marked “ OUT”.
Connect the Network Protection Lines
Connect the network line from the wall to the connector marked “IN”, then connect the device (Ethernet card) to be protected to the connector marked “OUT”.
*All equipment must be turned off prior to hardware installation.
