* 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 “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description.
