1.2 Operation
Do not disconnectthe mains cable on theUPSorthe building wiring
socket (grounded shockproof socket) during operation asthiswould
remove the ground to the UPS and of all connected loads.
TheUPS featuresits own, internal current source (batteries).You maybe
electric shockwhen you touchthe UPSoutput socketsor output terminal
blockeven if the UPS is not connected to the building wiring socket.
In order tofullydisconnectthe UPS, firstpressthe OFFbutton to turn off
the UPS, then disconnectthe mains lead.
Ensure that no liquid or other foreign objectscan enterthe UPS.
Do not removethe enclosure. This systemis to be serviced byqualified
service personnel only.
Remove the protectivepanelonlyafterdisconnecting the terminal
connections.

1.3 Maintenance, servicing and faults
TheUPSoperates with hazardous voltages. Repairsmaybe carried out
onlybyqualified maintenance personnel.
Caution - riskof electric shock.Even afterthe unit isdisconnected from the
mainspowersupply(building wiring socket), components inside the UPS
are still connected tothe batterywhichare potentiallydangerous.
Beforecarrying out any kind of service and/ormaintenance, disconnect the
batteries.Verifythat no current is present and no hazardous voltage
exists in the capacitor orBUS capacitor terminals.
Batteries must bereplaced onlybyqualified personnel.
Caution -riskof electricshock.The batterycircuit is not isolated from the
input voltage. Hazardous voltages mayoccurbetween the battery
terminals and the ground. Verifythat no voltage is present before servicing!
Batteries haveahigh short-circuit current and pose ariskof shock.Take
all precautionarymeasures specified below andanyother measures
necessarywhen working with batteries:
－remove all jewellery, wristwatches, rings and other metal objects
－use onlytoolswith insulated gripsand handles.
When changing batteries, replace withthe same quantityand the same
type of batteries.
Do not attempt to dispose of batteries byburning them. It could cause
explosion.
Do not open ordestroybatteries.Effluent electrolytecan cause injuryto
the skin and eyes. It maybe toxic.
Pleasereplace the fuse onlybyafuse of the same type and of the same
amperage in orderto avoid fire hazards.
Do not dismantle theUPS, except the qualified maintenance personnel.
1.3.1 UPS and Battery Care
Forthe bestpreventivemaintenance, keep the area aroundtheUPS clean
and dust-free. If the atmosphere is verydusty,clean the outside of the system
11
with avacuum cleaner.For long batterylife, keep the UPSat an ambient
temperature of 25°C (77°F)
1.3.2 Storing the UPS and Batteries
When the UPSisintended to store for along period, recharge the battery
every6 monthsby connecting the UPS to utilitypower. The batteries charge to
90% capacityin approximately4hours.However, it is recommended that the
batteries charge for 48 hoursafterlong-termstorage.
1.3.3 Timeto ReplaceBatteries
When the discharging timeis less than 50% of specified after full charged, the
batterymayneed to be replaced. Pleasecheckthe batteryconnection or
contactyourlocal dealerto order newbattery.
WARNING:
lTurn off the UPSand disconnect the utilitypower cord from the wall outlet.
lServicing shouldbe performed byqualified service personnel
knowledgeable ofbatteriesand required precautions.Keep unauthorized
personnel awayfrom batteries
lBatteries can present ariskof electrical shockor burnfrom high short
circuit current. The following precautions should be observed:
1. Remove watches, rings, or othermetal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Do not laytoolsor metal partson top of batteries.
4. Wearrubberglovesand boots.
5.Disconnectthe charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting
batteryterminal.
lWhen replacing batteries,replacewith the same type and numberof
batteriesorbatterypacks.Contactyourservicerepresentative to order
new batteries.
lDo not dispose of batteryina fire. Batteries mayexplode when exposed to
flame.
lProperdisposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codesfor
disposal requirements.
lDo not open ormutilatethe battery. Released toxicelectrolyte is harmful to
skin and eyes.

For a batterytest,please check:
lThe batteriesmust be fully charged.
lThe UPS mustbein Normalmode with no active alarms.
lDon’t takeon/offthe load.
To test batteries:
1. Connectthe UPSto utilitypower for at least 48 hours tocharge the
batteries.
2. Press and hold the “I” button1second tostart the batteryteston line mode
or HE mode. The status displaystring shows “TEST”
1.3.6 Recycling the Used Battery:
Torecycle properlythe used battery,please do not discardthe UPS,battery
packandbatteriesinto the trashbin. Pleasefollow yourlocal lawsand
regulations; you maycontact your local recycling waste management center
for further information to dispose properlyofthe usedUPS, batterypack, and
batteries.
1.4 Transport
Pleasetransport theUPS onlyin theoriginalpackaging (to protect against
shockand impact).

3. Introduction
ThisOn-Line-Series is an uninterruptible power supplyincorporating
double-convertertechnology.It provides perfect protection specificallyfor
Novell, WindowsNTand UNIX servers.
The double-converter principle eliminatesall mainspower disturbances. A
rectifierconvertsthe alternating current from the socket outlet to direct
current. Thisdirect current charges the batteries and powers the inverter. On
the basis ofthis DC voltage, the inverter generates asinusoidal AC voltage,
whichpermanentlysupplies the loads.
Computersand peripheryare thus powered entirelybythe mains voltage. In
the event of power failure, the maintenance-free batteriespower the inverter.
This manual coversthe UPSlisted asfollows.Please confirmwhetherit is
the modelyou intend to purchase byperforming avisualinspection of the
Model No. on the rearpanel of the UPS.

5.1 Inspection:
Inspectthe packaging carton and its contents for damage. Please inform the
transport agencyimmediatelyshouldyou find signs of damage.
Please keep the packaging in asafe place for future use.
Note: Pleaseensurethat the incoming feeder is isolated and secured to
prevent it from being switched backon again.
5.2 Connection:
(1)UPS Input Connection
If the UPSis connected via the power cord, pleaseuse aproper socket with
protection againstelectriccurrent,the user can referto below table.Ifthe
UPS isconnected via wires,it isrecommended toselect the 2.5mm2wire,
and the “GND”terminal should be grounded first.
The UPSSystem hasno input breaker on the standardcabinet. When
installing the UPS, the userneedsto connect theexternal breakers and
protective components in the input terminals. It isrecommended to select the
NFB(Non-FuseBreaker) instead of the traditionalcombination kit including
breaker and fuse.
When selecting the NFB, the user can refer to below table.
