5. Operation
5.1 Battery charge
The UPS charges the battery as soon as it is connected to the AC outlet, whether ON/OFF button 9is pressed
or not. When used for the rst time, the battery will only provide its maximum autonomy after it has been
charged for 8 hours. It is recommended that the UPS be permanently connected to the AC power supply to
ensure the best possible autonomy.
5.2 AC-power disturbance
If AC power is disturbed or fails, the UPS continues to operate on battery power. UPS status LED 3ashes
green. In normal mode, the audio alarm beeps every ve seconds, then every two seconds when the end of
battery backup time is near.
If the power outage lasts longer than the battery backup time, the UPS shuts down and automatically restarts
when power is restored. Following a complete discharge, 10 hours are required to recharge the battery back
to full backup time.
To save battery power, it is possible to press ON/OFF button 9to cut the supply of power to the devices
connected to the battery backup outlets.
5.3 Protected outlets
All protected outlets 1provide surge protection, whatever the position of ON/OFF button 9. The Surge
protection LED 6provide the status of the protection. When the Surge protection LED 6is OFF your
protection is defective, please contact after sales services or local representative.
5.4 Equipment Care
For full battery life, keep the equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F). Battery service life is
reduced by 50 % for every ten degrees above 25 °C.
If the UPS requires any type of transportation, verify that the UPS is turned off.
5.5 Battery replacement
For battery replacement follow Eaton instructions provided on www.eaton.eu/BatteryServices.
The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
• shut down the UPS (ON/OFF button 9),
• disconnect the source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals,
• do not wear any metal objects including watches and rings,
• do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries,
• it is imperative to use the same battery type and number.
CAUTION: Batteries present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit current. Observe proper
precaution. Batteries may contain HIGH VOLTAGE and CORROSIVE, TOXIC and EXPLOSIVE substances.
Because of the battery the output receptacles may carry high voltages even when the AC supply is not
connected to the UPS. Do not dispose of batteries in a re. When exposed to ame, batteries may explode.
Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may
be extremely toxic.
