FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC)
WARNING:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CANADIAN DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNICATIONS (DOC)
This equipment does not exceed Class B limits for radio noise emissions from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulation of the Canadian
Department of Communications. Operation in a residential area may cause
Unacceptable interference to radio and TV reception requiring the owner or
operator to take whatever steps are necessary to correct the interference.
Cet équipement ne dépasse pas limites de Classe B d'émission de bruits
radioélectriques pour les appareils numériques, telles que prescrites par le
Réglement sur le brouillage radioélectrique établi par le Ministère des
Communications du Canada. L'exploitation faite en milieu résidentiel peut
entrainer le brouillage des réceptions radio et télé, ce qui obligerait le
propriétaire ou l'opérateur à prendre les dispositions nécessaires pour en
éliminer les causes.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Overview
The Enhanced Series ofUninterruptible Power Systems (UPS)wasdesignedtoprevent
spikes, surges, sags, transients and blackouts from reaching your sensitive equipment.
Your equipment may include such items as computers and computerized instruments to
telecommunication systems. When AC power is present, the UPS filters the power
continuously. When AC power fails, the unit employs its internal maintenance-free
battery to supply back-up power without interruption.

1.2 Smart Buck and Boost Line Conditioning
Thevoltagefrom yourACpowersourcecanfluctuateabove andbelowthenormal rated
input voltage. This microprocessor controlled UPS provides line conditioning via both
buck (step-down voltage) and boost (step-up voltage) functions. For example, if the
voltage fluctuates up by 15V, the buck function in your UPS steps it back down so that
yourequipmentreceives thenormalratedvoltage. Ifthevoltagefluctuatesdownby15V,
the boost function automatically steps it back up. This provides your equipment with
excellent voltage regulation and less possibility for the UPS to drain its battery.
1.3 User Replaceable Battery Design
The battery is the most critical part in a UPS. The average lifetime of a battery is between
3 and 5 years. The special user-replaceable battery design of this UPS provides
significantsavingsandgivestheUPSanalmostunlimitedlife.Youcanreplacethebattery
very easily, and without turning off your UPS or the equipment it is protecting (see
Chapter 6).

1.4 Advanced Interface to Communicate with Computer
Many UPS’s provide only a basic power failure warning. The Enhanced Series, together
with OPTI-SAFE+ also provides you with important operating information. From your
computer screen, you can determine input/output voltage and current, frequency,
battery voltage, etc., and analyze power problems (seeSection2.7). IfOPTI-SAFE™+is
not part of your UPS package, you can purchase it from your local dealer.
1.5 User Configurable Settings
You can configure the operating parameters of your UPS to meet your individual needs
(see Section 2.6).
1.6 Site Wiring Fault Indicator (for 100/110V/120V versions only)
The red Site Wiring Fault LED Indicator on the rear panel lights up if your UPS isplugged
intoanimproperly wiredACpoweroutlet(seeSection2.5).Thisfeaturewarnsyouifthe
ground wire is missing, if the input line and neutral wires are reversed, or if the neutral
wire is overloaded. This alerts you to potential safety problems.
*Note:Manyolderhomesdonot have grounded power and this will cause the Site Wiring
Fault LED on the UPS to light.
1.7 Schedule Shutdown & Startup
Using OPTI-SAFE™+you can locally or remotely control the shutdown and startup of
equipment connected to a UPS. A customized schedule can be developed to meet your
specific requirements (see the OPTI-SAFE™+ User’s Guide).
1.8 Data-Line Surge Protection
The built-in data-line surge suppression on the rear panel completes your system
protection. It provides an easy way to protect a network (RJ45) or modem (single line
phone) connection from hazardous spikes (see Section 2.8).
*Note: If you have a two line telephone system to protect, you will need to purchase a
special Data-Line board directly from OPTI-UPS.

Hold the On/Off button again for two seconds to turn off the UPS and power to the load.
2.3 Test/Silence Button:
The Test/Silence Button has two functions:
1. Test Feature: It is a good idea to test the UPS once in a while to verify that the
batteries are in good condition. If you press the Test/Silence Button when AC
power is available, the UPS will test itself by switching to its internal battery for a
few seconds. We recommend you close all your open files before initiating this
test.
2. Silence Feature: When AC power fails, the UPS will warn you with an audible
alarm. To silence the alarm, press the Test/Silence Button. The alarm will resume
with a faster beeping when the UPS when the UPS battery is low. To silence the
alarm again, press the Test/Silence Button.
