INTRODUCTION
2.1 General
VIPER UPS is a compact and light weight uninterruptible power supply for oce
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, sag, surge, spike, etc. that might cause malfunctions of the connected loads. It
also provide automatic voltage regulator (AVR), surge suppressor and backup power system.
The LED and alarm indication indicates the operating status both in normal operation
and power failure, low battery power alarm. UPS can be started when there is no utility power
to supply backup power the connected loads in an emergency.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Caution: The warranty will be voided, if this product has been improper installation,
not following the installation instruction that mentioned in this user’s guide.
4.1 Preparation
4.1.1 Before you install the UPS, give it a through visual examination to ensure it has not
been subjected to shipping damage. If it is not in perfect condition, please contact
4.1.2 Check the rating of your AC power source and all connected loads to suit with the UPS
rating.
4.1.3 Transport the UPS with its packaging until it arrive the installation location to avoid
shipping damages.
4.1.4 Install the UPS at least 30 cm free space from wall to enable easy access for installation,
operation and maintenance.
4.2 Installation
4.2.1 For the optional “S” sux model, connect a RS-232 signal cable from computer to the
RS-232 port at the rear side of UPS for monitoring the operating status via Easy-Mon X
software.
Caution: Before connecting the signal cable, turn o the POWER switch
and disconnect the AC INPUT power cord from the utility line.

IN : Connect telephone line / LAN line (option) to the UPS
OUT: Connect telephone line / LAN line (option) from the UPS to the input
socket of the telephone, fax machine, modem or LAN card (option).
Note: To achieve maximum performance of surge protection, UPS must be
connected to grounded electrical system to work properly. Connecting to
non-grounded electrical system, it will not be able to properly protect your
electrical equipment from transient voltage surge suppression.

4.2.3 Set NO LOAD SHUTDOWN switch (special optional) to ON position to shutdown UPS
automatically when power fails and all connected loads are less than 60 W in order to
save battery power. (This optional switch is set at OFF position as default from factory)
If the connected load is PABX which consumes power less than 60 Watt, set the switch
to OFF position.
Note: For the standard product which does not have the NO LOAD SHUTDOWN
switch at the rear side of the UPS, UPS has built-in this features. It will auto-
matically shutdown when power fails and detects that connected loads are
less than 60 Watt.
4.2.4 Plug in the electrical appliances such as computer, monitor, modem, fax machine, etc.
to the UPS OUTPUT outlets at the rear side of the UPS.
4.2.5 Plug in the laser printer to the“FOR LASER PRINTER”outlet which is connected to surge
protection system. (This socket does not supply backup power when power fails)
4.2.6 Plug in the AC INPUT power cord to the utility line.
4.2.7 Turn on the POWER switch of the UPS and then turn on all connected loads.
4.2.8 Test the UPS after the battery is charged by turn on POWER switch and wait until the
LINE indicator is lit. Then, turn on all connected loads. To simulate blackout situation,
unplug AC INPUT power cord from utility line, UPS will supply backup power to loads
automatically. The ALARM indicator blinks slowly and alarm sounds simultaneously.
Then, plug the AC INPUT power cord back to utility line. The ALARM indicator is o,
no alarm sound and the LINE indicator is lit. Notice that all connected loads are still
operating during test. For more condence, repeat the test for 3-4 times.
4.2.9 After nished work with the computer, shut it down and turn o the UPS to keep
sucient battery power is available when there is blackout.
4.2.10 If you have to storage UPS for long period of time, be sure that battery is fully charged
and it need to be recharged every three months to preserve the condition of the
internal battery. Only connect the UPS to utility line and turn on, then leave the UPS
connected to utility line for at least 8 hours.
