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:
1. Do not remove the UPS cover unless authorized by factory. Removing the
cover will void the warranty.
2. The UPS can only be connected to a 2-pole/3-wire plug.
3. Do not install the UPS in an environment with excessive humidity.

1. INTRODUCTION
The P.O.S. Pro-Series 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 P.O.S. Pro-Series UPS is ideal protection for modern Point of Sale
equipment. 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 severe
brownout) the UPS will automatically switch to back-up mode and maintain power to
the load until the battery reaches a low voltage state. Also included with our UPS
system 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 multiple outlet configuration allows for
complete versatility for today’s Point of Sale equipment. The adapter cord included
with every P.O.S. Pro is designed to plug directly into the printer and provide back-
up power in the event of utility loss.
Interference to Radio/TV
If this UPS causes interference to radio or television reception (this may be
determined by turning the UPS off and on), try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
1. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a different circuit from which the
receiver is connected.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
3. Re-orientate the receiving antenna.

the UPS as a master on/off switch, make sure all of the loads plugged into
the UPS are switched on.
Caution:
Never connect a laser printer or plotter to the UPS with other computer
equipment. A laser printer or plotter draws significantly more power on
start-up than when idle, and will overload the UPS. If a laser printer
or plotter requires protection against blackouts, brownouts and over-
voltage the UPS needs to be increased in size to accommodate the
inrush o
f
p
ower.

M1701_POS_Pro_Manual V1.0 2012-06-12 4
Caution:
The line current limiting feature could be rendered inoperable if
improperly installed. Make sure that the line from the wall is plugged
into the connector marked “IN”, and the device to be protected
(telephone, modem, etc.) is plugged into the connector marked “OUT”.

The UPS will perform self-testing each time it is switched “On”.
4.2. 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.
ATTENTION:In backup mode, the UPS can be automatically turned off
if none of the connected loads are operating. (Green mode; No Load shut
down function) Once the utility power returns to normal, the unit will
restart.
4.3. 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.
During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the loads with battery
power (the LED flashes every 2 seconds). If the UPS passes the self-
test, it returns to on-line operation. The LED stops flashing and the
LED remains on. If the UPS fails the self-test it immediately returns
to on-line operation. The loads are unaffected when performing a
self-test. Recharge the battery overnight and perform the self-test
again. If the UPS still fails a self-test, ask our nearest dealer to
replace the battery.
4.4. 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")

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.
4.9. 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.
4.10. 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 stops
the alarm.
4.11. Replace Battery (Continuous Alarm)
The UPS emits a continuous beep if the battery fails the self-test. See
