precautionary measures may replace batteries and supervise operations. Unauthorized
person must be kept well away from the batteries.
• Caution – Risk of electric shock. The battery circuit is not isolated from the input voltage.
Hazardous voltage may occur between the battery terminals and the ground. Before
touching, please verify that no voltage is present!
• Caution – Do not dispose of batteries in a re. The batteries may explode
• Caution – Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and
eyes. It may be toxic
• Batteries may cause electric shock and have a high short-circuit current. Please take the
precautionary measure specied below and any other measures necessary when working
with batteries:
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects
• Use tolls with insulated handles
• Wear rubber gloves and boots
• Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries
• Disconnect charging source and load prior to installing or maintaining the battery
• Remove battery grounds during installation and maintenance to reduce likelihood of
shock. Remove the connection from ground if any part of the battery is determined to be
grounded

Introduction - IOGEAR Professional Online UPS
Features
• True double-conversion – Output power factor is 1, which means all of the power supplied is
being used for productive work and makes the work the most efcient
• Output voltage regulation < 1% - Provides higher performance and efciency for critical ap-
plications
• Programmable power management outlets – Users can easily and independently control
load segments. During power failure, this feature enables users to extend battery time to
mission-critical devices by shutting down the noncritical devise.
• Emergency power off function (EPO) – EPO connector at rear panel allows for emergency
UPS Power Off from a remote location
• SNMP + USB + RS-232 allows for multiple communications – Allows either USB or RS-232
communication port to work with SNMP interface simultaneously
• Hot swappable battery design – All potential UPS maintenance including complete power
module exchange, can be performed without powering down the connected equipment. As
long as utility power is on, the UPS and connected equipment may be left on while replacing
a new battery
• ECO mode for energy saving – Offers up to 97% efciency to cut energy usage and cost.
UPS power application via static bypass, timely returning to online double conversion when
the need arises
• Provides more voltage cut-off protection and surge immunity by Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV),
an electronic component that protects equipment from voltage surges in a power line (i.e.
lightning strikes) for full time equipment protection. The MOV absorbs the energy in a surge,
preventing it from damaging other devices in a circuit
• High power factor charger up to 1000W capacity with very low ripple current when charging
battery
• Multi-functional LCD interface – Displays immediate, detailed information on input volt-
age, battery capacity, power status, battery status, operating status and assessed backup
runtime, etc.
• Smart battery charger design to optimize battery performance – it will adjust charging volt-
age according to outside temperature and extend the useful service life of batteries
