ALARMS (cont.)

OVERLOAD (Continuous Alarm)

When the UPS is overloaded (the connected loads exceed the maximum rated capacity), the UPS emits a continuous alarm to warn of an overload condition. Disconnect nonessential equipment from the UPS to eliminate the overload.

REAR PANEL

INTERNET/PHONE/FAX/DSL/NETWORK PROTECTION

The Internet/phone/fax/DSL/network lines are surge- protected and provide complete safety for line connection.

ON/OFF Master Switch

(“I” means ON; “O” means OFF)

INTERFACE PORTS

The UPS provides both a USB and RS232 port for you use with your computer.

NOTE: Choose one port only.

BATTERY BACKUP 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 backup outlets).

SURGE-ONLY PROTECTED OUTLETS

Equipment such as a printer, fax machine, scanner, or a desk lamp can be plugged into these outlets. These outlets do not provide power during a power outage.

These outlets are always on (when AC power is available) and are not controlled by the front panel switch.

AC INPUT BREAKER (CIRCUIT BREAKER)

The 10-amp resettable circuit breaker button will be triggered if an overload condition forces the UPS to disconnect

itself from utility power. If the black button sticks out, disconnect nonessential equipment and depress breaker.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

The UPS can be used without the software and can be used with any computer using a monitor or a fl at-panel screen. Also, you do not have to have the software installed to utilize the battery backup outlets.

To fully utilize the UPS and its software, your computer must be able to operate the following operating systems: Windows® 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT® 4, 2000, XP, or Linux® and higher and have a serial or USB port.

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.

Charging the Battery

For best results, charge the battery for 6 hours prior to initial use. The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to the utility power. Should you see the yellow check battery light come on, the battery may need immediate replacement.

Plug-In Power Devices

Plug your devices into the AC outlets on the top 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 the 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

The UPS will perform a self-test each time the UPS is switched on that determines whether the battery can support the connected loads.

Note! The UPS maintains the battery charge when in the off position and will respond to commands received through the computer interface port.

To Conduct a Self-Test

Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the UPS and the condition of the battery. In normal utility power, recycle the power switch On/Off. During the self-test, the UPS operates in backup mode.

Note! During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates on-battery backup power (the green Power LED comes on and the unit emits a beep every 10 seconds). If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to online operation. If the UPS fails the self-test, it immediately returns to online operation. See details regarding the Check Battery Indicator below in the next section.

Check Battery Indicator

This indicator is lighted when the unit has detected

aweak or worn-out battery during the self- test. Please follow the procedure below to bring the battery up to normal operating levels:

1.Allow unit to charge for at least 12 hours

2.Re-test the battery by recycling the power switch off/on. The unit will run a 2-second self-test again to determine the strength of the battery.

3.If the Check Battery Indicated is lighted again, contact Belkin to replace the battery.

To Silence Audible Alarm

While in battery backup mode, push On/Off/Test button less than 2 seconds to silence the audible alarm. (This does not work if the UPS is under LOW BATTERY or OVERLOAD condition.)

All equipment must be turned off prior to hardware installation.

PHONE/FAX/MODEM PROTECTION

Connect a single Internet, phone or fax line into the surge- protected ports on the back of the UPS. This comes with a built-in line splitter to provide you with 2 output lines. The RJ11 modular sockets accept standard, single-line telephone connections. The connection will require another length of telephone cable, which is included FREE with your purchase.

Phone-Line Connection with Built-In Splitter:

Note! This connection is optional but highly suggested as Internet, phone, fax lines often carry dangerous surges and spikes and need to be protected. The UPS will still work 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”.

Serial or USB Communication Port (Installation Optional)

To fully utilize the Shutdown Software; you will need to connect the UPS to your computer so they can communicate to each other.

The communication port will provide the following features:

1.Monitoring charger status

2.Monitoring UPS status

3.Monitoring battery status and condition

4.Monitoring the utility status

5.Use the ON/OFF/TEST UPS power switch function to schedule UPS for power saving

You may connect the UPS to your computer by choosing either the serial or USB ports with the selector.

Note: Choose one port only. Do not connect your computer through both ports.
