SB-1000 MANUAL
OPERATION
1) Operation check
It is recommended that the user perform a
simulation test when using the UPS for the
first time or when adding an additional piece
of equipment. Conduct a simulation-test: first,
switch on the UPS and wait for the power
indicator to light up, then simply unplug the
UPS to simulate a utility failure.
2) Check the power requirement of your
equipment
A. Make sure the total power of your equipment
does not exceed rating capacity. (600W /
1000VA)
B. Also make sure the equipment you plugged
into the Battery Power-Supplied outlets does
not require total power exceeding the capacity
of the UPS (600W / 1000VA). Otherwise,
overload may occur and cause the circuit
breaker to trip.
3) Limited rating power of UPS
When a utility failure occurs, the UPS output
outlets will supply power to your equipment
from its battery, and the alarm will beep every
5 seconds. Be sure that your equipment is
running under the limited rating power. Plug
the UPS back into the existing power source.
Repeat the test a few times to make sure the
UPS works properly and to determine the
expected runtime.
SOFTWARE & COMPUTER INTERFACE
1) Power Monitoring Software
The UPSMON series software acts as
a standard RS-232 interface to perform
monitoring functions, and then provides an
orderly shutdown of a computer in the event
of power failure. Moreover, UPSMON displays
all the diagnostic symptoms on monitor, such
as Voltage, Frequency, and Battery level, etc.
The software is available for DOS, Windows
3.1x, Windows 95/97/2000/ME/XP, Windows
NT or later, Novell Netware.
2) Characteristics of the computer
interface port

characteristics:
The communication port on the back of the
UPS may be connected to the host computer.
This port allows the computer to monitor the
status of the UPS and control the operation of
the UPS, in some cases. Its major functions
normally include some or all of the following:
• To broadcast a warning when power
fails
• To close any open file before the
batteries are exhausted
• To turn-off the UPS
