Installing Your UPS

HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE

1.Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the battery for at least four hours is rec- ommended to insure that the battery’s maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur during shipping and storage. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the ON as well as the OFF position. If you wish to use the software, connect the enclosed serial interface cable to the serial port on the UPS and an open serial port on the computer.

2.With the UPS unit OFF and unplugged, plug your home the- ater equipment into the unit’s rear panel AC outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum cleaner, paper shred- der or other large electrical device into the UPS. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.

3.To protect a telephone modem line (DVR or Satellite TV receiver) or network cable, connect a telephone cable or network cable from the wall jack outlet to the IN jack of the UPS. Then connect a telephone cable or network cable from the OUT jack on the UPS to the equipment’s telephone jack or network device. Note: This unit provides both telephone and LAN protection on

4.Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electri- cal demands (e. g. refrigerator, copier, etc.) Avoid using exten- sion cords. If used, the extension cord must be rated for 15 Amps.

5.Press the power switch to turn the UPS on. The Power ON indicator light will illuminate.

6.The rear panel circuit breakers will open and power to the con- nected equipment will be turned OFF if an overload is detected. To correct this, turn the UPS off, unplug at least one piece of equipment, wait 10 seconds, check to make sure that the circuit breakers are reset, and turn the unit on.

7.The UPS will automatically charge the battery whenever it is plugged into an AC outlet,

8.To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.

9.To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the battery every three months to insure battery life.
