Installation
Placement
Locate the UPS where it cannot be accidentally disconnected. Locate it in an area with unrestricted airflow, away from water, flammable liquids,
gases, or corrosives. Maintain a minimum of 100mm (4 “es) clearance around the UPS. Maintain an ambient temperature range of 0°C to
40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Before connection
Shutdown load equipment, turn off main supply and unplug load equipments power input cable from main supply socket.
UPS connection for 1000VA
Unplug power input cable from load equipments input socket and plug it into UPS input socket. Re-plug the power input cable into mains supply
socket.
Load connection
Connect the supplied IEC320-10 output cable between the load equipment input socket and one of the UPS AC output socket. Connect all load
equipment to the UPS in the same way.
Turn on
Turn on the UPS by pressing the power switch for at least 0.5 second; then turn on the connected load equipment. The UPS is ready for normal
operation.
System description
Power switch
The power switch controls output power to connected loads.
CAUTION: Pressing the power switch when AC mains is not present will cause the UPS to begin operating from battery. This should not be
performed unless the UPS input is connected to a properly earthed socket.
Battery status indicator (green LED)
An illuminated LED indicates the power button is on and main power is available. Green LED flashing 5 times along with an alarm signifies main
voltage is out of specification and UPS is operating in battery mode.
Boost and buck AVR indicator (yellow LED)
An illuminated LED indicates the UPS is correcting main power, due to a mains overvoltage or undervoltage condition.
Load/Battery Level Indicators (all green LEDs)
The Load/Battery Level Indicators have dual functions. During normal mode operation, LED indicators display electrical load placed upon the
UPS; and during battery mode operation, LED indicators display battery
capacity remaining. Each LED designates a 25% load or battery capacity increment. All four LED indicators illuminate at full load/battery
capacity. If the UPS becomes loaded beyond full rating, the top LED indicator will flash continuously while an alarm sounds.
Fault indicator (green LED)
The Fault Indicator is the second bottom LED (contained in load/battery level indicators). A flashing LED indicates the UPS has detected a
problem. An alarm sounds to alert that the UPS requires attention.
Alarm Silence/Battery Test Button
The Alarm Silence/Battery Test Button serves a dual purpose. During normal mode operation, press button for at least one half second to test
capacity of the battery system. The UPS will operate in battery mode for approximately 15 seconds. The illuminated LED indicators in
Load/Battery Level determine battery mode capacity in 25% increments.
During battery mode operation or active alarm condition, this button functions as the alarm silence feature. The low battery alarm is the single
alarm that cannot be silenced. During a Battery Test, if the top two LEDs do not illuminate, allow the UPS to recharge the batteries for 24 hours.

Battery mode operation
Battery mode occurs in event of extreme input voltage condition or complete mains failure. The battery system along with the bi-directional
converter generates power for the connected load.
During battery mode an alarm sounds every 10 seconds. This will change to 2 beeps every 5 seconds when battery runs low (approximately 2
minutes remaining). Each load/battery level indicator represents a 25% capacity level. As capacity decreases, fewer indicators remain
illuminated.
Battery mode supports a full rated load for approximately 5 minutes before it shuts down. To increase this time, turn off non-essential pieces of
equipment.
WARNING: Turning off the UPS while in battery mode will result in loss of output power.
The figure below displays approximately 51% - 57% battery capacity remaining.
Battery charge mode
The UPS resumes normal operation once main power is restored, whether the UPS is ON or OFF. At this time, the bi-directional converter begins
recharging the battery.
Battery replacement
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte
is harmful to skin and eyes and may be toxic. When replacing the batteries, use the appropriate replacement battery kit. Proper disposal of
batteries is required.
Precautions to be observed before replacing the batteries:
•Turn off and disconnect the UPS from utility power prior to opening the battery replacement door.
•Remove rings, watches, and other metal objects.
•Use a cross-head screwdriver with insulated grips.
•Do not lay tools or other metal objects on top of the batteries.
•If the battery replacement kit is damaged in any way or shows signs of leakage, contact your dealer immediately.
•Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
•If you feel unqualified to replace the battery, do not open the battery door. Call the dealer immediately.

Operation
Normal mode operation
During normal operation, main power provides energy to the UPS. The filters and the power conditioning circuit process this power to provide
computer grade power to connected loads. The UPS maintains the batteries in a fully charged state.
The front panel displays the percentage of load on the UPS output. The figure below indicates approximately 51% - 75% loading.
Mains high/low mode operation
If high or low voltage conditions occur, the UPS will automatically correct the mains voltage by either lowering or raising the input voltage
condition.
The figure below indicates approximately 51% - 57% loading while automatically correcting the mains voltage.
