1. The UPS outlets may be used immediately upon receipt. However,
recharging the battery for at least four hours is recommended to ensure
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.
2. With the unit OFF and unplugged, plug your equipment into the unit’s
rear panel AC outlets. DO NOT plug a space heater, vacuum cleaner,
paper shredder or other large electrical device into the UPS outlets. The
power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the
unit.
3. Plug the MX5102 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 electrical demands
(e. g. refrigerator, copier, etc.) Avoid using extension cords. If used, the
extension cord must be UL or CSA Listed, minimum 14 AWG, 3-wire
grounded, and rated for 15 Amps.
Installing Your MX5102
4. Press the latching button to turn the unit on.
5. The rear panel circuit breakers will open and power to the
connected equipment will be turned OFF if an overload is detected.
To correct this, turn the unit off, unplug one piece of equipment from
the UPS outlets, wait 10 seconds, check to make sure that the circuit
breakers are reset, and turn the unit on.
6. The UPS battery will automatically charge whenever the unit is
plugged into an AC outlet.
7. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the unit plugged into an
AC outlet at all times. Note: To store the MX-5102 for an extended
period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the
battery every three months to ensure battery life.
MX5102 Operation
When power is lost or disconnected for an under/over voltage fault, Outlet
Bank 4 will switch from utility power (power supplied from the power
company) to battery power.
Normal UPS Operation
The display will change from indicating input voltage to the estimated
minutes of backup time. The IR output will activate to trigger required
shutdown sequences in connected devices.
The internal buzzer will sound for 1 second in 5 second intervals. The
buzzer can be turned off by pressing the Meter Dimmer/UPS Test Button.
After power is restored and stabilized, Outlet Bank 4 will automatically
switch back to utility power.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery gets down to 3 minutes of backup time:
the display will flash and the internal buzzer will sound at a quick rate.
When the battery can no longer support the connected load, Outlet Bank
4 is shut off and the buzzer will sound for 5 seconds, one time.
Overload Warning
When the load connected to Outlet Bank 4 exceeds 100% of the rated
power:
The display will flash “OL” (overload)
The internal buzzer will sound at a quick rate
To remedy the overload:
Reduce the load on Outlet Bank 4 by reconnecting one device to an
available outlet in Outlet Bank1 (preferred) or Outlet Bank 2.
Press and hold the Meter Dimmer/UPS Test Button for 2 seconds to
initiate a test of the battery backup. If the load has been reduced to an
acceptable level, MX5102 will return to normal operation.
