INTRODUCTION
The AC/DC UPS DR is a Line Interactive UPS system that includes the newest and latest
technology enhancements. The Line Interactive technology with AVR function (on-line voltage
boost-up & buck-down) allows for a wide input voltage range of 90 to 150VAC. The AC/DC UPS
DR is ideal protection for modern point of sale equipment. With the utility power connected, the
charger begins to operate immediately, charging the battery. After the UPS has been turned “On” it
will protect the load from transients, spikes and other power aberrations. In the event of a blackout
(or sever brownout) the UPS will automatically switch to back-up mode and maintain power to the
load until the utility is restored or the battery reaches a low voltage state. The Low Battery
indicator will turn “On” if and when the battery needs replacement. Also included, with our UPS
systems, is a cyclic self-testing function to verify both the operation of the UPS and the condition
of the battery.
The integrated DC power supply and terminal block configuration allows for complete versatility for
today’s Din Rail equipment.
Note: Interference to radio/TV might occur in a particular installation. If this UPS causes
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the UPS off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of following
measures:
1. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
3. Re-orientate the receiving antenna.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. The UPS has its own internal energy source (battery), therefore the output receptacles may have
electricity present even though the UPS is disconnected from the utility power.
2. The DC voltage provided from the internal battery is 12VDC.
3. Isolated Ground Wire refers to the bare wire connecting electrical equipment to ground. The
isolated ground wire (green or green with yellow stripe) must meet national wire
requirements.
4. The power plug to connect with the UPS has to be equipped with a ground plug.
5. Battery must be replaced or serviced by qualified, knowledgeable, personnel.
6. Replacement battery must be the type, quantity and configured the same as the original(s).
7. To avoid explosions, keep open flame and other heat emitting sources away from battery.
8. Do not disassemble or damage the battery. The electrolyte is toxic and especially harmful to
the eyes and skin.
9. The battery contains high voltages and currents that are dangerous. To maintain secure
operation and performance of the UPS, the user must exercise basic and regular maintenance.
Please follow the precautions below:
-Do not remove the UPS cover unless authorized by factory. Removing the cover will
void the warranty.
-The UPS can only be connected to a 2-pole/3 wire plug.
-Do not install the UPS in an environment with excessive humidity.
-Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to get inside the UPS.
-Allow for air circulation through the UPS. A minimum clearance of 10cm is required on
all sides.
-Do not load the UPS with appliances such as a hair dryer, heater, vacuum, kettle, etc.
-Keep the UPS away from direct sunlight and heat-emitting sources.
-Install the UPS as close as possible to the load for maximum protection.
10. Storage Requirements
-Recharge the UPS batteries every 6 months for no less than 8 hours at a time.
-Under a high ambient temperature environment, recharge the UPS batteries every 3
months for no less than 8 hours at a time
11. High Voltage Risk:
-High voltages might exist between the battery terminal and the grounding system, if the
battery circuit has not been disconnected from the UPS circuit. Please check this voltage
before connecting.
-Disconnect the battery wires before proceeding with maintenance. High voltages may be
present between the UPS internal components and battery even after the input power is
disconnected.

OPERATION
Switching “On” the UPS
With the UPS plugged in, and utility power present, press and hold the On/Off/Test/Silence Button
more than 3 seconds or until the "LINE NORMAL" LED is lit, this will switch the UPS “On”. The
UPS will perform a self-test every time it is turned “On”.
Note:When switched off, and still plugged into utility, the UPS maintains the battery charge and
will respond to commands received through the computer interface port.
Switching “Off” the UPS
Press and hold the On/Off/Test/Silence Button for more than 3 seconds, or until the Line Normal or
Back-Up LED turns off.
Self-Test
Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the UPS and the condition of the battery. When normal
utility power is present, push the On/Off/Test/Silence Button for less than 1 second and the UPS will
perform a self-test function. During the self-test, the UPS operates in back-up mode.
Note: During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the loads with battery power (the Status LED
flashes). If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to on-line operation. The Status LED stops
flashing and remains illuminated. If the UPS fails the self-test it immediately returns to on-line
operation and turns the Replace Battery LED on. The loads are unaffected when performing a self-
test. Recharge the battery overnight and perform the self-test again. If the Replace Battery LED is
still on, ask our nearest dealer to replace the battery.
Silence the Alarm
In Back Up mode, push On/Off/Test/Silence Button for less than 1 second to silence the audible alarm.
(The function is void when under condition of "LOW BATTERY" or "OVERLOAD")
Cold Start
When the UPS is off and there is no utility power, use the cold start feature to apply power to the loads
from the UPS's battery. Press the ON/TEST button (see Front Panel section for location of the
indicator) until the UPS beeps.
Shutdown Mode
In shutdown mode the UPS stops supplying power to the load, and waits for the return of utility power.
If there is no utility power present, external devices (e.g., servers) connected to the computer interface
can command the UPS to shutdown. This is normally done to preserve battery capacity after the
graceful shutdown of protected servers. The UPS will scroll the front panel indicators sequentially
when shutting down.

Green Function
In order to conserve battery power the UPS will automatically shutdown when in back-up mode, after
5 minutes, if the connected loads are operating at less than 20 watts.
•To disable “GREEN FUNCTION” press and hold the “On” button during initial start-up
for at least 3 seconds, until a beep-beep sound is heard.
AUDIBLE ALARM
Back-Up (Slow Alarm)
When in back-up mode, the LED blinks and the UPS sounds an audible alarm. The alarm stops
when the UPS returns to line normal operation. Press the On/Off/Test/Silence Button during
back-up mode to silence the beeping.
Low Battery (Rapid Alarm)
In back-up mode, when the battery energy runs low, the UPS beeps rapidly until the UPS shuts
down from battery exhaustion or returns to line normal operation.
Overload (Continuous Alarm)
When the UPS is overloaded (the connected load exceeds the maximum rated capacity of the
UPS) the UPS sounds a continuous alarm to warn of an overload condition. Disconnect non-
essential loads until the UPS stop the alarm, this will eliminate the overload.
