7 If your UPS has output receptacles/outlets on the back panel (shown) or on an attached internal bypass switch, plug the equipment you want to protect into the UPS’ receptacles.

If you used the cord from your own equipment to plug in the UPS (see step 2), use the cord provided with the FERRUPS to plug your equipment into the FERRUPS. If the power cord for the equipment you want to protect is permanently attached to the equipment, you may have an electrician wire the provided plug to the cord.

8 Switch on the equipment connected to the FERRUPS.

Note: If the UPS sounds an alarm and the display shows “Output Overload,” the equipment needs mor e power than the FERRUPS is designed to provide. See the Alarm Table in Section 600.

To your computer

10 The FERRUPS is now providing continuous, computer-grade power to your equipment. It is ready to provide battery backup power when needed. Please fill out the warranty registration card in this manual and return it to Best Power within ten days of installation.

11 When you first start the FERRUPS, you should set the time and date so that the unit’s logs keep an accurate record of FERRUPS operation. After you set the time and date once, FERRUPS’ real-time clock keeps time even when the the UPS has been completely shut down. To set the time and date, follow these steps:

a. First you must enter the User password (377). To do this, follow these steps:

•Press the bottom right button (below

“Menu” on the display) to switch from

 

 

 

the standard display to the menus. The

1

1

 

display will show “1 Enter Password.”

Enter Password

 

• Press ¿. The display will show “0000”

 

0000

 

<–

–>

ESC

in the third line.

 

 

 

• Notice the blinking cursor under the

 

 

 

first 0. Press the button under “– >”

 

 

 

once so the cursor is under the second

 

 

 

0. (“– >” is on the bottom line of the display .) Then, press the s button until this number increases to 3.

•Press “– >” again to move to the third digit, and press the s button until this digit increases to 7. Change the final digit to 7 as well.

•The final display should show “0377”; once it does, press ¿. “User” will appear in the upper right corner of the display to show that you have entered the User password.
