WARNING: Riskof ElectricalShock. Hazardouslive parts inside
these power supplies are energized from the battery even when the
AC input is disconnected.
CAUTION! Tode-energizethe outputsof theUPS:
1. If the UPS is on press and release the On/Off/Test Button.
2. Disconnect the UPS from theAC wall outlet.
3. To de-energize the UPS completely, disconnect the battery.
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electrical shock in conditions
where the load equipment grounding cannot be verified, disconnect
theUPS fromtheACwall outletbeforeinstallinga computerinterface
cable. Reconnectthe powercord onlyafter allsignalingconnections
aremade.
CAUTION! Connect the UPS to a two pole, three wire grounding
ACwall outlet. Thereceptacle mustbe connectedto theappropriate
branch protection (circuit breaker or fuse). Connection to any other
type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard and violate local
electricalcodes. Do notuse extensioncords,adapter plugs,or surge
strips.
English
CAUTION! Toreducethe riskof electricalshock withtheinstalla-
tion of this UPS equipment and the connected equipment, the user
must ensure that the combined sum of the AC leakage current does
not exceed 3.5mA.

INSTALLATIONPLACEMENT
This UPS series is only intended to be install in an indoor temperature con-
trolledenvironmentthat isfree ofconductive contaminants. DONOT operate
the UPS in: extremely dusty and/or unclean areas, locations near heating de-
vices, water or excessive humidity, or where the UPS is exposed to direct
sunlight. Selecta location,which willprovidegood aircirculation fortheUPSat

PHONE/FAX/NETWORKPROTECTION CONNECTION(OPTIONAL)
Connecta 10/100Base-Tnetwork,singleline phone,or faxline tothe RJ11/45
modularconnectors onthe rearpanel oftheUPS. Thisconnectionwillrequire
anotherlength oftelephone ornetwork cable. Thecable comingfrom thetele-
phoneserviceornetworkedsystem isconnected tothe portmarked “IN”. The
equipment to be protected is connected to the port marked "OUT". NOTE:
Connecting to the Phone/Fax/Network modular connectors is optional. The
UPS works properly without this connection.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This Line-Interactive UPS protects computers, servers, telecom systems, VoIP
systems, security systems, and a variety of electronic equipment from black-
outs, brownouts, overvoltages, and surges. The AVR function continuously
correctsthe voltages,in-between thebrownoutandovervoltage transferpoints
(90 - 150VAC), to a safe usable level. When the UPS is operating in theAVR
modethe audiblealarm willremainsilent andtheACnormalmodeindicator will
blink. DuringnormalACoperation,theUPSwillquietly andconfidently protect
yoursystemfrompoweranomalies.
The UPS will charge the batteries with the UPS in the on or off position when
the UPS is plugged into the wall outlet and there is an acceptableAC voltage
present(90 -150VAC). When ablackout, brownout,oran overvoltagecondition
occurs; the UPS will transfer to the battery mode, the On Battery indicator will
illuminateandthe audiblealarm willsound onceevery fiveseconds indicating
that the commercial power is lost or unacceptable. When the commercial
power returns or is at an acceptable level, the UPS will automatically transfer
back to the AC normal mode and start recharging the batteries. During an
extended outage when there is approximately two minutes of backup time re-
maining the audible alarm will sound twice every five seconds. This Low Bat-
teryWarningis informingthe userthat theyshould saveallopen filesand turn
offtheir computer. Whenthe batteriesreach thepredetermined levelthe UPS
willautomaticallyshutdownprotectingthebatteries fromover discharging. Once
thecommercial powerreturns theUPSwill automaticallyrestart, providingsafe
usablepowertotheconnected equipmentand startrecharging thebatteries.
English
CHARGINGTHEBATTERY
The UPS will charge the internal batteries whenever the UPS is connected to
anAC sourceand thereis anacceptableAC voltagepresent(90- 150VAC). It
isrecommended thatthe UPS'sbatteries becharged fora minimumof 4hours
before use. The UPS may be used immediately, however, the “On Battery”
runtime may be less than normally expected. Typical battery life is 3 to 5
years. Environmental factors do affect battery life. High temperatures, poor
utilitypower, andfrequent,short durationdischargeshaveanegative impacton
battery life. NOTE: If the UPS is going to be out of service or stored for a
prolonged period of time, the batteries must be recharged for at least twenty-
fourhours everyninety days.
USBCOMMUNICATIONSPORT CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)
This UPS series supports USB communications. The power monitoring soft-
ware and interface cable can be used with the UPS. Use only the interface
cable that come with these UPSs. The USB communications protocol is HID.
The HID USB driver comes standard in the Windows OS. Simply connect the
USB cable to the USB communications port on the rear panel of the UPS.
Connect the other end of the USB cable to the device that will be monitoring/
controlling the UPS and then follow the prompts on the screen. NOTE: Con-
nectingto theCommunications Portis optional. TheUPS worksproperly with-
out this connection.
CHECKINGTHE SITEWIRING FAULT
After plugging the UPS into the wall outlet, check the LCD screen on the front
panel of the UPS for a Site Wiring Fault (S.L.F). If the S.L.F is illuminated, the
UPSis pluggedinto animproperly wiredwall outlet. Ifthe UPSindicatesaSite
WiringFault(S.L.F), havea QualifiedElectrician correctthe problem.
CAUTION! TheTNVconnector shalluse thesame typeof RJ45.

TURNING THE UPS ON / OFF
To turn the UPS on: press and hold the On/Off/Test Button until the alarm
soundsone beepandthen release. TheUPSwill performafive secondinternal

TESTBUTTON
To perform a ten-second user invoked battery test: With the UPS in the AC
normalmode, pressandhold theOn/Off/TestButton untilthealarmsounds four

WEAK/BADBATTERY
TheUPS automaticallytests thebattery’s condition. Ifthe batteryis weak,bad
or disconnected, the Battery Capacity Bar Graph will flash and the alarm will
soundthreebeepseveryfive minutesuntil thebattery iseither reconnectedor
replaced. This alarm will be repeated until the batteries pass a self-test. It is
recommendedthat theUPSbe allowedtocharge overnightbeforeperforming a
battery test to confirm a Weak/Bad Battery condition.
OVERLOAD
When the amount of load attached to the UPS exceeds its power rating, the
Overload icon will illuminate and the alarm will sound continuously (AC and
Battery modes). This alarm will remain on until the excess load is removed or
the UPS’s self protection circuit shuts the UPS down.
Toclearthe overloadalarm whenthe UPShasshutdown requiresthatthe UPS

UPS’s self protection circuit shuts the UPS down to protect the battery from
overdischarging.
UPSFAULT
When the UPS detects an internal fault, "FAL" will be displayed on the LCD
screen, thealarm willsoundcontinuouslyandthe outputwill beturnedoff. The
fault condition, in some instances, may be reset by turning the UPS off and
then on. If the fault condition does not clear the UPS must be sent in for
service.

SELF-TEST
Theself-test featureis usefulto verifythe correctoperation ofthe UPSand the
conditionof thebatteries. The lengthofthetestthat isautomatically performed

REPLACING THE BATTERY
WARNING! This UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not at-
tempt to disassemble the UPS beyond the battery replacement
procedure. This UPS contains no user serviceable parts. Re-
pairsand batteryreplacementmustbe performedby QUALIFIED
SERVICEPERSONNELONLY.
Donot openor mutilatebatteries. Releasedelectrolyte isharmful
to the skin and eyes and may be toxic.
CAUTION:
(QUALIFIEDSERVICE PERSONNELONLY)
CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
The batteries in this UPS are recyclable. Dispose of the batter-
iesproperly. Thebatteriescontainlead andpose ahazard tothe
environmentand humanhealth ifnot disposedofproperly. Refer
to local codes for proper disposal requirements or return the
battery to the supplier.
Thebatterysystem canpresent arisk ofelectrical shock. These
batteriesproduce sufficientcurrent toburnwireortoolsveryrap-
idly, producing molten metal. Observe these precautions when
replacingthe batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use hand tools with insulated handles.
3. Wearprotective eyegear (goggles),rubber glovesandboots.
4. Do not lay tools or other metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disco-
nnecting the battery terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If the bat-
tery is,remove thesource ofthegrounding. Contact withany
part of a grounded battery can result in an electrical shock.
The likelihood of such shock will be reduced, if such grounds
are removed during installation and maintenance.
CAUTION:
