Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This UPS unit operates from utility power and contains a number of high
current back-up batteries, the information is important to all personnel involved. Please read this manual
before installation and operation of the UPS.
Safety of Persons
ÎOpening or removing the cover of the unit may expose you to lethal voltage within the unit, even if it is
apparently not in operation and the input wiring is disconnected from the electrical source.
ÎRefer all UPS and battery servicing to authorized service personnel from the manufacturer or an agent authorized
by the manufacturer.
ÎDo not dispose of the battery in a fire, as the battery may explode.
ÎDo not open or damage the battery. Battery acid is toxic and harmful to eyes and skin.
ÎThe following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
•Remove watches, rings, and other metal objects.
•Use tools with insulated handles.
Product Safety
ÎInstall the UPS in a clean environment, free from moisture, flammable gases or fumes and corrective
substances.
ÎKeep the UPS on a flat, stable surface with a 10cm space around it for proper ventilation.
ÎOperate the UPS in an indoor environment only in an ambient temperature range of 32oF to +104oF (0oC to
+40oC).
ÎThe UPS is designed for data processing equipment. It is not intended for use with life support and other
designated “critical” devices.
ÎThe maximum load must not exceed that shown on the UPS rating label.
ÎStoring magnetic media on top of the UPS may result in data loss or corruption.
ÎOnce batteries have reached the end of their life, ensure they are disposed of properly. REFER TO YOUR LOCAL
LAWS AND REGULATIONS FOR BATTERY DISPOSAL REQUIREMENTS.
ÎThe UPS must be handled with care and attention since there is high energy stored within the batteries. It must
always be kept in the position marked on the external packaging and must not be dropped.
ÎPlease keep the exhaust holes of UPS unobstructed.
ÎThe battery should be maintained at regular intervals.
Special Precautions
ÎThe UPS should be installed according to the instructions in this manual. Failure to do so could result in safety
issues. It could also invalidate your warranty.
ÎDO NOT CONNECT equipment that could overload the UPS or demand half-wave rectification from the UPS, for
example: electric drills, vacuum cleaners, printers or hair dryers.
ÎAdjust only those controls that are listed in the Adjustment Section. If the unit does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions, contact the sales representatives.

`AS400 Card
`SNMP/HTTP Agent
NetAgent Mini allows a user to obtain the status, and issue commands to the UPS. The
communications protocol includes the MegaTec/ PPC/ SEC 2400 / 9600. Also it is possible to build
in your own protocol. NetAgent Mini provides a simple and easy installation procedure. The user
only needs to install the software from the NetAgent Mini CD on a Windows environment and
configure the IP address.
All the other configurations could be accomplished in a Web browser. NetAgent Mini also
provides shutdown programs for different operating systems. Shutdown commands can be sent
for such events as power failure, low UPS battery condition, UPS overload, UPS overheating and
scheduled shutdowns. All shutdown events are configurable by the user. The shutdown
software provides an orderly shutdown to prevent the abnormal shut-off of clients or servers.
Please refer to the NetAgent Mini installation CD for more
information.
