2-1 Theory of Operation
The Regulator PRO™NetUPS Series is a line-interactive UPS with Automatic
Voltage Regulation (AVR) that provides clean and reliable AC power to the
computer system through the input and output EMI filter, surge suppressor
and line-conditioning transformer (autotransformer) that can boost or
buck-down line voltage according to the AC input voltage amplitude.
In normal condition, the UPS supplies power from the utility power to the
load (computer system, workstation, server or other device). The bilateral
converter works as a charger to charge the battery and at the same time
keeps the battery fully charged. This term is called "ON UTILITY MODE".
When utility power fails, the converter supplies AC power to the load by
transferring power coming from the batteries. This term is called "ON
BATTERY MODE". The UPS supplies regulated power, shutdown results
when battery power becomes low.

2-2 Features
Intelligent Boost and Intelligent Buck-Down Line-Conditioning
When brownout or over utility voltage is detected, the boost and buck-down
line-conditioning will automatically adjust the incoming voltage and deliver a
regulated AC power to the equipment connected to the UPS.

User replaceable battery
The Regulator PRO™NetUPS Series has a "user-replaceable battery
function" so that users can easily swap the batteries inside the UPS by
themselves. Battery replacement procedures are described in section 6.
Charging current with low ripple and harmonics
A special controlled circuit is used to provide charging current with PFC
(Power Factor Correction). This reduces the conducted electro-magnetic
interference to other facilities sharing the same distribution panel with your
UPS and therefore extends the battery life of the UPS.
Intelligent communication interface and powerful network
support capability
The built-in communication interface (RS-232 and dry contact) allows you to
control and manage your UPS via powerful Belkin Sentry Bulldog Shutdown
Management Software. Moreover, an optional built-in SNMP accessory slot
lets your Regulator PRO™NetUPS be easily managed through a network.
User-friendly interface
You can instantly assess the status of your UPS without pushing any button.
The LED display provides complete and easy to understand information,
such as load level, battery level, intelligent boost, intelligent buck-down,
on battery, replace battery, and overload.
Optional network surge protection
The Regulator PRO™NetUPS Series provides built-in Novell network cable
(RJ-45) jacks. These jacks protect your hardware from surges and spikes that
travel along communication lines. They protect from all potential damage as
a result from surges, spikes, and line-noise.

OVERLOAD:
If an overload occurs, the OVERLOAD LED will light and a continuous
beep will be heard. Under this condition, check the load connected to
the UPS.
BUCK/BOOST:
If the UPS encounters a high utility voltage, the function of the
buck is to automatically curtail this voltage to a normal level. In the case
that the UPS should come upon a low utility voltage, the boost will raise
the voltage to a normal level. These two functions are represented by
their respective LED on the front panel.
BATTERY REPLACE:
This function is to alert users of the need to replace the batteries. When
the microprocessor in the UPS detects battery fault, the UPS alarm will
give out three beeps. Each beep lasts for 0.5 seconds and interrupted
by an interval of 0.5 seconds. After the initial three beeps, the alarm will
continue to sound every one hour.
