Installation and usage
Installation
Leave the Sweex UPS on at all times.
Place the Sweex UPS on a flat surface.
In order to prevent fire or electrical shocks, do not expose the device to rain or a moist atmosphere.
Ensure that the UPS is at lest 20 cm away from the monitor.
Charging
The UPS is fully charged at the factory itself, but during transportation, the battery may get discharged. For this reason we recommend that you
charge the Sweex UPS for at least 8 hours before use.
Connecting your hardware
Connect a computer-related product to the back of the UPS. You may connect a maximum of three devices.

UPS 500 VA (BC100030) / UPS 600 VA (BC100040) / UPS 700 VA (BC100050) / UPS 800 VA (BC100060)
Advantages
Automatic voltage control - The voltage control increases or lowers the voltage between the mains input and the output at the optimum
level. If voltage limits are exceeded and if the AVR detects undervoltage or overvoltage, the UPS will signal this
and the voltage will again be brought to an optimal level.
If the mains voltage fails - A pulsating acoustic signal shall warn you when the mains voltage fails.
Most important characteristics
•Complete power protection
•Automatic recharging of the batteries
•Maintenance-free batteries
Remarks
Before commencing full-fledged operation of the UPS, you should first charge it for eight hours. After eight hours, the charging process of the
battery will be controlled by the electronic devices of the UPS itself. Do not connect laser printers to the UPS, since they consume a lot of power.

wires (see figure 8) that are connected to the battery from the battery lips.
(fig. 7) (fig. 8)
Removing the handle
Push back the handle and remove the two protective covers. In order to prevent damage you should only remove the protective covers after the
handle has been fully pushed to the back.
Now remove the handle and replace the two protective covers.
Software installation
Commander Pro is a unique program for monitoring the UPS.

Safety - CAUTION!
This UPS utilizes voltages that may be hazardous. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. The unit contains no user serviceable parts.
Only factory service personnel may perform repairs. Connection to any other type of receptacle other than a two-pole, three-wire grounding
receptacle may result in electrical shock hazard as well as violate local electrical codes. In the event of an emergency, turn the power switch
to the “off”position and disconnect the power cord form the AC power supply to properly disable the UPS. Do not allow liquids or any
foreign object to enter the UPS. Do not place beverages or any other liquid-containing vessels on or near the unit. Avoid installing the UPS in
locations where there is standing or running water, or excessive humidity. Do not plug the UPS’power cord into itself. Do not attach a power
strip or surge suppressor to the UPS. Do not attach non-computer-related items, such as medical equipment, life-support equipment,
microwave ovens, or vacuum cleaners to the UPS. To reduce the risk of overheating the UPS, do not cover the UPS’cooling vents and avoid
exposing the unit to direct sunlight or installing the unit near heat emitting appliances such as space heaters or furnaces. Unplug the UPS
prior to cleaning and do not use liquid or spray detergent. Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode. Do not
open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic. A battery can present a risk of
electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
•Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
•Use tools with insulated handles.
•Wear rubber gloves and boots.
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions.
Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries. When replacing batteries, replace with the same number and type of the sealed lead-acid batteries.
During the installation of this equipment, make sure that the sum of the leakage currents of the UPS and the connected loads do not exceed 3.5mA.
The main socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be installed near the UPS and should be easily accessible. This pluggable type A equipment, with
battery already installed by the supplier, is operator installable and may be operated by laymen.
ATTENTION: ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!
Even when disconnected from the main power supply, electrical shock hazard exists, because of the power supply from the battery.
