The EXPLORER UPS is a compact uninterruptible power supply for office automation
equipment (computers and peripherals such as monitors, modem, printers, fax machines, etc.). Its
major function is to eliminate any power problems such as a blackout,brown out,surge,spike,noise,
etc. that might cause malfunction of the load causing work interruption. With its Advanced Micro-
processor Control, when the UPS detects any abnormal conditions, it will respond
instantaneously. It also has special features: AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulator or stabilizer), Surge
Suppression and Backup power supply system.

your electricity system should have an electric ground system.
If there is no electric ground, there can be data transferring
problems and loss of protection of the connecting devices.
3.4 Set the NOLOAD SHUTDOWN switch at ‘ ON ‘ as shown
( available in specific model only ) , if you want the UPS to shutdown
itself automatically in backup mode when the total load power
consumption is less than 60 Watt in order to save energy and prolong
battery life (The factory default setting is OFF).
If your load is a PABX which consumes power less than 60 W,
set the NO LOAD SHUTDOWN switch at 'OFF'.
3.5 Plug the loads such as computers, printers, modem and etc. to UPS BACKUP outlets.
Caution : Total Load Power consumption should not exceed UPS rated power.
3.6 Plug in the non-required backup power loads such as laser printer at SURGE ONLY outlet which
