BESTPOWER610-UPSInstallation
Electricalequipment isoften ratedin VA (volt-amps). This
represents the rated voltage times the rated current, i.e. 230 Volts
x 2 Amp = 460VA.
Checkyour equipment forthe manufacturer’s label.This label
shouldstate the equipment’sdesired operating voltage(V)and
current(A) drawn bythe equipment.Themanufacturer’s labelis
usuallyfound on theexternal rearorunderside ofthe equipment,
orin the handbookor operator’s manual.
Most computers and their related components are rated at "worst
case," with all of the expansion slots or bays fully loaded at low
line voltage, so your actual load is probably less than the load
indicatedby the manufacturer.
2.1 Introduction and Product Description
2.2 Sizing your Load
AnUninterruptible PowerSystem isdesigned to connect between your
utility supply wall outlet and your critical load. Its function is to
continually monitor the availability and quality of the electrical supply
andto recreatethe mains voltageto remainwithin
the UPS specifications, as detailed for each model.
YourBest Power 610is anadvanced true on-line
sine wave UPS with bypass line, using double
conversiontechnology.
The utility power enters the UPS, where it is
rectifiedto aDC voltage whichwill floatcharge the
battery as well as run the DC to AC inverter. The
invertergeneratesthe true sinewaveoutput,
recreating the utility supply voltage. A bypass path
isprovided through a transfer switch, in case the
UPSbecomesoverloadedoran inverter fault
occurs.
Because the UPS is an on-line design, conditioned
poweris provided continuouslytoyour load.During
an electrical power failure, the unit employs its
internalmaintenance-free battery tosupply continuous powerforas
longas the battery is capable. The UPS autonomy after a powerfailure
will depend on (a) the size of the UPS and the load of your equipment,
(b) the size of the battery used (either the standard internal battery or
external battery pack options), and (c) the state of the battery and
batterycharge when thepower failureoccurs.Batteries havea finite life
that can be affected by excessive use and/or high ambient
temperatures.Under normal operation,you shouldexpecta 3-5year
life from your UPS battery.

2.3 Types of Loads
TheBest Power610 UPSis designedto powerall moderncomputer
equipment “loads.” The UPS output is specifically designed to work
withswitching power suppliesfound in today'smicroprocessor-
basedequipment.
LaserPrinters andyour UPS
Best Power does not recommend protecting laser printers with this
UPS.Laser printers havea heating cyclewhich provides adhesion
of the toner to the paper. This heating cycle draws large amounts of
electricalcurrent and willoverload your UPS.
If your printer is mission-critical and you want to protect it with a
UPS, the UPS must be sized to accommodate the high peak
currentsurge of theprinter.

2.4 UPS Locations
YourUPS should bein acontrolled environment. A controlled
environmentisone that isindoor,temperature-controlled and free
ofconductive orsemiconductive contaminants. The Best Power
610 is intended for indoor use only. There should be
adequateventilation and thelocation should befree of dustand
fumes. Do not install the unit next to open windows where
uncontrolledenvironmental conditions couldaffectthe unit. Do
not install the unit in any type of enclosure without first calling
BestPower TechnicalSupport. The unitmust have unrestricted
airflow.
CAUTION
The environmental

To optimize the performance of your UPS, be sure the battery is
fully charged before using the UPS to support your critical load.
To recharge the battery, place the UPS close to a wall outlet and
connect the matching line cord to the UPS receptacle; then, plug
it into the wall socket. If hardwired, turn the breaker on at the
servicepanel supplying powerto theUPS.
Whenpower is supplied to the UPS (without operating any front
panel switches), the UPS will go through a short test sequence,
and the cooling fan will start.
On the front panel, the line indicator and the bypass
indicator will illuminate. At this time there is power
available at the output sockets.
Note: The battery backup feature of the UPS is not
available in this mode. See section 3.1 Switching on the UPS” to
enablethe batterybackup mode.
2.6 Recharging the UPS Battery
Inthis mode, (andnormalUPS operatingmode)recharging
occurs automatically and will take 10 hours if the batteries are
completelydischarged. AsUPS units arenormally deliveredwith
chargedbatteries, providing theUPS hasnotbeen instorage for
a long time, it will not take long for the battery to reach full
capacity.
CAUTION
(ON) and or (STANDBY)
IN ALL CONDITIONS, if the UPS
is connected to a live supply, AC
POWER IS PRESENT AT THE
UPS OUTPUT TERMINALS OR

secondsthe Inverter indicatorwill illuminate,
indicatingthe inverter hasnow startedand the
bypass indicator will extinguish, indicating that the
UPS is now in normal mode.
NOTE: If the Line indicator flashes and the battery
indicator illuminates at the same time, your
incomingutility ACsource voltageand/or frequency
is out of the UPS specification. The UPS is drawing
energyfrom thebatteries.
You may now start the equipment connected to the
UPS.If theload level indicatorexceeds 100%and
the audible alarm sounds twice per second, you
have plugged too many items into the UPS and
overloadedit. Remove thenon critical itemsand
check the load level indicators.
When the utility AC source fails, the UPS will
continue to deliver output to the UPS receptacles
fromthe internalor externalbatteries and the UPS
