Thank you for selecting this uninterruptible power system (UPS). It provides you with a
perfect protection for connected equipment. The manual is a guide to install and use the
UPS. It includes important safety instructions for operation and correct installation of the UPS.
If you should have any problems with the UPS, please refer to this manual before calling
customer service.

1. PRESENTATION
The UPS is a standby uninterruptible power system (UPS). When utility input is normal, the
UPS would provide surge protection and energy to charge the internal battery. If the utility
input is abnormal, the UPS can supply AC power to the load immediately.
(1). Utilizes microprocessor based controls, it will minimizes the dependency on hardware.
Beside this, it maximizes system flexibility and optimizes the assurance of reliability.
(2). Automatic frequency selection to match with utility power.
(3). Hi-grade battery charger to prolong battery’s life and fully charge the battery.
(4). With actual overload protection both in line and battery mode.
Front View
1.1 “POWER” indicator (Green): The indicator will illuminate
when the utility input is normal.
The light becomes flash when working at back-up mode.
1.2 “OVERLOAD” indicator (Red): The indicator will
illuminate when the output power is overload from the unit.
1.3 “BATTY” indicator (Red): The indicator
illuminates when the battery is no longer useful and must
be replaced.
1.4 “ON/OFF/TEST” button: No matter the UPS is
plugged in or not. Press the “ON/OFF/TEST”
button till the beep stop to turn on or turn off the UPS.
It also enables the UPS self-test by press the bottom less
than 1 second.
1.5 “BUZZER STOP” button
In back up mode, press the bottom about 1 second to
enable the UPS silence function.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Inspection: Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse
or dispose of it properly.
2.2 Placement: Install the UPS in controlled area with adequate air flowing and free of
excessive dust. Do not operate the UPS at outdoor area.
2.3 Utility Power: The input power cord needs to connect the rear inlet socket of the UPS
and plug into a socket on the wall. Please notice the voltage of utility power should match
with the UPS. (For example, the rating voltage of UPS is 110V/(220V), the input utility power
should be the same as 110V/(220V) .)
2.4 Connection: The employed equipment’s power cords (such as computer) are plugged
into the sockets on the rear panel.
Attention: Service personnel installable.
Attention: With the installation, the overall leakage current of the UPS connected consumer
shall not exceed 3.5mA.
Attention: A block diagram of this unit is attached to the user’s manual and to the installation
instruction.
3. OPERATION
3.1 Switch on: When utility input is connected to the UPS, press “ON” button at “OFF” mode
and keep pressing until the beep stops. After that, connect the electrical cords of the
equipment that is going to be used such as computer or monitor with the terminal at the rear
panel of UPS.
Attention: This unit is to operate by any individuals with previous training.
Attention: At “BACKUP” mode, UPS can be automatically turned off if none of the
connected loads is operating. (No Load shut down function)
CAUTION: Never connect a laser printer or plotter to the UPS with other computer
equipment. A laser printer or plotter periodically draws significantly more power than its idle
status, and may overload the UPS.
3.2 Switch off: Press the “OFF” button at “LINE” or “BACKUP” modes and keep pressing
more than 1 second to turn off the UPS.
3.3 Silence: When UPS is under “BACKUP” mode, press the “BUZZER STOP” button about
1 second to silence the audible alarm. (The function is disabled when UPS is under
condition of “LOW BATTERY” or “OVERLOAD”)
3.4 Self-test function: Press the “TEST” button at “LINE” mode about 1 second, UPS will
perform self-test procedure automatically.
4. ALARM
4.1 “BACKUP” (slow alarm): When the UPS is working under “BACKUP” mode, the UPS
would emit audible alarm. The alarm stops when the UPS is return to “LINE” mode
operation.
Attention: The alarm of “BACKUP” is going to beep every 2 seconds. (Slow-speed beep).
Attention: The UPS provides mute function for the warning. When the beeping sound
occurs, press "BUZZER STOP" to stop it; and press "BUZZER STOP" again to resume
the sound.

4.2 “LOW BATTERY” (rapid alarm): In the “BACKUP” mode, when the energy of battery
becomes to lower level. (about 20%~30%) The UPS beeps rapidly until the UPS shuts down
from battery exhaustion or returns to “LINE” mode operation.
Attention: The alarm of the batteries caused by low voltage beeps every 0.5 second.
Attention: The rapid alarm under “LOW BATTERY” condition cannot be muted.
4.3 “OVER LOAD” (continuous alarm): When the UPS is working under overload
condition (the connected loads exceed the maximum rated capacity), the UPS will emit
continuous alarm to warn an overload condition. In order to protect the unit and the loads,
the UPS will be automatic turn off. Please disconnect nonessential devices from UPS to
eliminate the overload alarm.
5. SOFTWARE AND INTERFACE PORT
5.1 Power Monitoring Software
The UPS-MON series software (or other power monitoring software) is applied standard
RS-232 interface to perform monitoring functions, and then provides an orderly shutdown of
a computer in the event of power failure. Moreover, UPS-MON displays all the diagnostic
symptoms on monitor, such as Voltage, Frequency, Battery level and so on. The software is
available for DOS, Windows 3.1x, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT V3.5 or later,
Novell Netware, Linux, and others. Call your dealer for more information on computer OS
compatible solutions.
5.2 Interface Kits
A series of interface kits is available for operation systems that provide UPS monitoring.
Each interface kit includes the special interface cable required to convert status signals from
the UPS into signals which individual operating system recognizes. The interface cable at
UPS side must be connected to REMOTE PORT, at computer side can be either COM 1 or
COM 2. The other installation instructions and powerful features please refer to READ.ME
file.
CAUTION: Use only factory supplied or authorized UPS monitoring cable!
5.3 The characteristics of computer interface port
The computer interface port has the following characteristics:
The communication port on the back of the UPS may be connected to host computer. This
port allows the computer to monitor the status of the UPS and control the operation of the
UPS in some cases. Its major functions normally include some or all of the following:
To broadcast a warning when power fails.
To close any open file before the battery is exhausted.
To turn-off the UPS.
Some computers are equipped with a special connector to link with the communication port.
In addition, special plug-in cord may be needed. Some computers may need special UPS
monitoring software. Contact your dealer for the details on the various interface Kits.
