Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during the installation,
operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect the warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Use caution when lifting the UPS. Because of the considerable weight of all rackmount UPS
systems, at least two people should assist in lifting and installing them.
• Install the UPS indoors, in an area free from excess moisture, heat, dust, conductive
contaminants, and direct sunlight.
• The UPS operating temperature is 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). For optimum battery performance,
the ambient temperature should be maintained between 68° and 77°F (20° and 25°C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not obstruct its vents
or fan openings.
• When mounting the UPS system in tower orientation, make sure the LCD Screen panel is at the
top of the UPS, not at the bottom.
• Do not mount unit with its front or rear panel facing down (at any angle). Mounting in this manner
will seriously inhibit the unit’s internal cooling, eventually causing product damage not covered
under warranty.
UPS Connection Warnings
• The UPS contains its own energy source (battery). The output terminals may be live even when
the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
• Connect the UPS to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not modify the UPS plug in a way
that would eliminate the UPS connection to ground. Do not use adapters that eliminate the UPS
connection to ground.
• Do not plug the UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS and void your warranty.
• If you are connecting the UPS to a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide
filtered, frequency-regulated computer-grade output. Connecting the UPS to a generator will void
its Ultimate Lifetime Insurance.
• Install in accordance with National Electrical Code standards ANSI/NFPA 70 and Canadian
Electrical Code, Part I, C22.1.
• Short Circuit backup protection and overcurrent protection is provided by the building installation.
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided branch circuit overcurrent protection
in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and the Canadian Electrical Code,
Part I, C22.1. Be sure to use maximum 30A overcurrent protection, in accordance with the plug/
equipment rating, for the installation.
• The plug on the power supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. Be sure that the
socket-outlet is installed near the equipment and is made easily accessible.
Caution! This UPS may receive power from more than one source. Disconnection of
the AC and DC sources is required to de-energize the unit before servicing.

Quick Installation
1Plug the UPS into an outlet on
a dedicated circuit.
NOTE! after you plug the UPS into a live
AC outlet, the UPS (in “Standby” mode)
will automatically charge its batteries,
but will not supply power to its outlets
until it is turned ON.
2Plug your equipment into
the UPS.*
* Your UPS is designed to support only electronic
equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total
VA ratings for all the equipment you connect
exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To find your
equipment’s VA ratings, look on their
nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps,
multiply the number of amps by 120 to
determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120
VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded
the UPS’s outlets, see LOAD icon description in
LCD Interface section under Basic Operation.
3Turn the UPS ON.
Press and hold the button Afor one
second. The alarm will beep once briefly.

UPS Operating Modes
Standby Mode
(Charger: ON / AC Output: OFF / Battery Backup: NOT AVAILABLE)
When first connected to a live power source, the UPS will automatically energize into STANDBY
MODE. In this mode, the UPS charger will function as necessary to maintain full battery charge, but
there will be no AC output and no battery backup for connected equipment in the event of a power
failure. To turn the UPS on into LINE POWER MODE, press and hold the “ON/OFF” button for one
second until a beep is heard, and release.
Line Power Mode
(Charger: ON / AC Output: ON / Battery Backup: AVAILABLE)
The standard protected UPS operating mode for the UPS is LINE POWER MODE. In this mode, the
UPS provides voltage-regulated output sourced directly from the AC mains line power input. UPS
output power is conditioned with automatic voltage regulation in LINE POWER MODE to correct any
voltage fluctuations present on the mains line power input. When operating in LINE POWER MODE,
the UPS will automatically switch to BATTERY MODE during power failures or severe voltage
fluctuations to maintain connected equipment operation from battery reserves.
Battery Mode
(Charger: OFF / AC Output: ON / Battery Backup: ON)
BATTERY MODE is the automatic UPS response to mains AC power failures and severe voltage
fluctuations occurring when the UPS is operating in LINE POWER MODE. In BATTERY MODE, the
UPS is providing battery-derived AC output to connected equipment. When running in BATTERY
MODE, the UPS will automatically return to LINE POWER MODE when acceptable mains AC input is
restored to the UPS.

Note: The value displayed is a random value used for example reference.
Power Sensitivity
This setting is normally set to 100%, which enables the UPS to protect against waveform
distortions in its AC input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing
pure sine wave power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In some
areas with poor utility power or where the UPS’s input power comes from a backup generator,
frequent brownouts and/or chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery
too often, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your UPS switches to
battery due to waveform distortion or brownouts by experimenting with different settings. As the
setting is reduced, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC waveform.
Note: When experimenting with different settings, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the
effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS’s output can be evaluated without disrupting
critical operations. The experiment should last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are
encountered.
