ALARMS

Back Up (Slow Alarm)

When in “BACK UP” on battery mode, the RED LED illuminates and the UPS sounds an audible alarm. The alarm stops when the UPS returns to LINE NORMAL operation.

Low Battery (Rapid Alarm)

In “BACK UP” mode, when the battery energy runs low, the UPS beeps rapidly until the UPS shuts from a depleted battery or returns to LINE NORMAL operation.

Fault (10 Seconds Continuously)

When the output is shorted, the UPS emits a 10 seconds continuously alarm to warn of a short condition. Disconnect the equipment prior to checking the equipment.

1.UPS Outlets (See #1 on Diagram 1)

These outlets are your battery back up outlets. We strongly recommend that only sensitive equipment such as your computer and monitor should be plugged into these outlets. 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 sitting idle. This may overload the UPS.

Should a power outage occur, your battery backup would automatically turn on. Power (utility or battery) is not supplied to these outlets when the UPS is switched off.

Do not plug any surge protectors or power strips into the battery back-up outlets (i.e. daisy chaining).

2.SURGE Protected outlets (See #2 on Diagram 1)

These outlets do not provide power during a power outage.

Equipment such as computer peripherals, printers, fax machine’s, or a desk lamp may be plugged into these outlets. The On/Off button does not control these outlets.

3. The On/Off button has 3 functions:

1. Turns on the UPS. Depress button at least 2 seconds. The green light will come on.

2.	Cold Start function. Assuming the battery is
	charged the UPS will work without it being
	plugged into an outlet. Depress and hold the key
	for at least 2 seconds to turn on the UPS. The
3.	Silence function. During “On Battery Mode”, the	Battery Light
	audible sound can be turned “ON” or “OFF” by
	depressing the switch.

5.Phone/ Fax/ Modem Surge Protection (See #2 on Diagram 2)

The Phone/ Fax/Modem lines are surge protected. There is one input jack and two output jacks. This allows you to split one telephone connection to two separate devices.

6.AC Breaker (Circuit Breaker; See #3 on Diagram 2)

Should a power overload occur, the circuit breaker would trigger the UPS to turn off AC power. In order to restore the power, depress the circuit breaker button to reset, then depress the Power button.

USB Communication Port

7.Your UPS features a USB communication port. Installation of the cable and software is optional. This allows the UPS to connect to you computer. The Sentry Bulldog Software will not work if the UPS is not connected to you computer. This does not mean the battery backup feature will not work without the software and cable installed. The UPS will still provide backup power but you will be unable to utilize the data management capabilities of the software.

the UPS as a master on/off switch, make sure all of the loads are
switched on.

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 idles. This may
overload the UPS.	LaserPrinter

Connect the phone/ fax/ modem lines

Connect a single phone / fax/ modem line into the surge protected sockets on the right of the UPS. The RJ-11 modular sockets accept standard single line telephone connections.

Plug one end of the phone cable you received into your telephone wall jack and plug the other end into the jack marked IN. You may now plug a phone, fax or modem into the two jacks marked OUT. (See Diagram 4)
