Installation (continued)

2.Charging the battery

The battery charger of the UPS automatically charges the battery whenever the power cord of the UPS is connected to a normal utility power.

When the UPS is running for the first time, charge the UPS for at least six hours to ensure batteries inside are fully charged before operation.

You may immediately use the UPS without having to wait for the batteries to be fully charged. However, it is advisable not to do this as the UPS will have a shorter back-up time than expected if such action is taken.

3.Connecting the load

Calculate the power consumption of your loads to ensure that an overload condition will not happen.

Plug the equipment into the output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS.

Turn on the equipment connected to the UPS. Caution: Do not connect a laser printer to the UPS.

4.Connecting the RS-232/DRY CONTACT

Connect the interface signal cable between the RS-232/DRY Contact port on the rear panel of UPS and COM1 or COM2 of the computer if necessary.

The DB-9 connector can work as a dry contact or RS-232 communication port depending on the type of cable and software used. Refer to section 8 of the communication interface for more information.
