1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview:
The PowerStar series UPS is an advanced high performance stand by
Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) designed to protect your
computer from utility line failure. In the event of utility failure
(blackout), the UPS will rapidly transfer loads to an alternative power
source, which derives power from battery set inside the UPS.
The UPS providestwo charging mode, quick charging and trickle
charging, to maintain the batteries in the best condition. Battery
status indication, including capacity, low battery condition, charging
condition, and replace battery condition, are shown on the front panel.
1.2
Battery Replacement warning
The self-test function (real-time detection) will inform you with an
alarm when the batteries are weak and require replacement.
1.3
Smart-AVR
The UPS automatically corrects output voltage within the normal range,
both in low utility voltage (“Boost” LED lights up) and high utility voltage
(“Buck” LED lights up) conditions.
2. MAIN FEATURES:
?Microprocessor based design.
?Advanced indication for special operation status.
?Green mode function.
?Auto select input frequency 50Hz/60Hz.
?Self test function.
?Battery replacement indication.

3. CAUTION :
*The UPS is designed to power computer loads and the associated
peripheral devices, such as monitors, modems, external H-Disk
drivers, etc. To ensure the performance of the UPS, Do Not load the
UPS with laser printer, motor, or any type of inductive load.
*Connecting the UPS to a two-pole, three-wire grounding mains
receptacle. Connection with any other type of receptacle may result
in a shock hazard and may violate local electrical codes.
*Do not allow water or any foreign object to get inside the UPS. And
do not put objects containing liquid on or near the unit.
*Keep UPS away from fire or heating sources.
*The UPS is shipped from the factory with fully charged internal
batteries; however, the batteries may lose some energy during
delivery and storage. To ensure that the UPS will provide the
expected run-time during a blackout, the UPS must be left in
charging for at least 5 hours before your first use. The batteries
would be recharged automatically by the UPS when the UPS is
connected with city power.
4. INSTALLATION, OPERAT ION & AUDIBLE ALARM:
4.1 Installation
*Inspecting the packing carton for damage that may have occurred while
in transit. Immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase if any
damage is found. Retain the package for future use.
*Plugging the power cord to a 3-wire grounding receptacle. If an
extension cord must be used between the UPS and the nearest wall
outlet, use a 3-wire grounding type rated for at least 20 Amps.
*Connecting your equipment to the UPS. To ensure that your
computer equipment will be protected during a utility failure, it is
important to make sure that the maximum power need of the
equipment is not over the rated capacity of the UPS. When
blackout happens, LED of operation status will become red and
alarm will beep if the load is over the rated value. Meantime, if the
overload is severe, the UPS will shut down immediately for
protecting UPS itself.

6. COMMUNICATION INTERFACE:
Pin2 : AC Power Failure
Pin4 : Common GND of Pin2 & Pin5
Pin5 : UPS Battery Low
Pin6 : Turn off UPS
Pin7 : GND of Pin6
The interface with computer is diagramed as above for your
reference. Use Pin4 as the common of Pin2 and Pin5, Pin2 and
Pin4 will become close loop from open when the utility fails, Pin5
and Pin4 will become close loop from open when the battery
level is low.
The UPS will shut down itself when the high level from RS-232,
sustained for 3 seconds, is applied between Pin6 and Pin7.
4.2 Operation
4.2.1 When the power cord is connected with normal city power, UPS will turn
on automatically and go through the procedure of self-test (about 3-
4 sec.).
If test results are O.K., the green LED will be on.
4.2.2 Pushing the button for 3 seconds, the UPS will turn off the power. But,
the red LED will remain blinking when the AC power cord is
connected. To turn off the power completely, please pull out
the power cord. For turning on the UPS again, please connect
back power cord and push the button.
4.2.3 During blackout, push the button for 3 seconds until the buzzer emit
beeping, the UPS will turn on and enter into back up mode. To turn
off the UPS, please push the button for 3 seconds.
4.3 Audible alarm

5. INDICATIONANDCONTROL
5.1 Battery level LEDs
The battery level LEDs show the voltage level both in back-up
mode and in normal mode. When the LED indicates 20% of the
capacity in back-up mode, it means that the UPS is going to shut
down; for the length of backup time left, it will depend on the load.
While when all five LEDs light in normal mode, it means that the
battery is fully charged.
5.2 Special status LEDs
The Replace BatteryLED would be on when the UPS’s battery is no
longer useful and must be replaced.
When the Alarm Off LEDs comes on, the UPS will not emit beep
during back-
up mode or when battery needs to be replaced.
However, the low battery alarm and over load alarm will still sound for
urging user to leave computer without any data loss.
The Charging LED would be on when the charger is charging the
battery. While the battery voltage is low in normal mode, the charger
will keep on quick charging, when the battery voltage is high, the
charger is keeping on for 4 seconds by every 24 seconds for trickle
charging.
The Boost LED would be on when the UPS is connecting a low utility
voltage. The loads receive normal power.
The Buck LED would be on when the UPS is connecting a high utility
voltage. The loads receive normal power.
5.3 Auto self-test function:
In normal mode of UPS, turn on your computer and push the button
on the front panel for self-test. The UPS will simulate a power
outage and transfer your load to the UPS’s battery. If low battery
warning sounds during the test, it means that the battery set is weak
and requires extended recharge. If replace battery warning sound,
it means that the battery set is damaged and requires replacement.
