The front panel indicator light monitors the status of the
UPS in the following manner:
1. Continously ON: The UPS is operating on AC power
(normal operation). The buzzer will be off.
2. Blinking slowly: The UPS is operating on battery
power (AC power failed, inverter on). The buzzer will
beep.
3. Blinking rapidly: The UPS is operating on battery power, and the battery is running
low. Only a few minutes of holdup time remains. The buzzer will beep more rapidly.
4. OFF: The UPS is turned off, or has shut down due to low battery.
FRONT PANEL INDICATOR
INTRODUCTION
Your TSi Power uninterruptible power supply model UPS-400 or UPS-600 is
designed to provide continuous AC power to your equipment during power outages,
glitches or brownouts. Normally, the UPS acts as a filter, to reduce the noise and
spikes in the utility voltage that powers your equipment. However, when the utility
voltage fails completely, or when it is too low to reliably hold up your equipment, the
UPS takes over, supplying clean, regulated power—generated from its internal
batteries—to your equipment. In addition, the models equipped with the “LI” or
“LIC” options include true isolation and power conditioning for further protection.
Be sure to mail the enclosed warranty registration card so that we may
better serve you. When you call TSi Power’s customer support (at 1-800-
TSI-3160), please have your unit’s model number and serial number
(located in the rear of the UPS) ready at hand.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. After unpacking the UPS, make sure that the power switch (in the rear of the
UPS) is in the OFF position and plug it into a grounded (3-pronged) 120V
electrical outlet. Do not connect anything yet to the outlets on the UPS.
2. To ensure that your batteries are fully charged, leave the UPS plugged in and
turned on for at least four hours before hooking up any equipment to the UPS.
3. After at least four hours, plug in the equipment you want backed up by the UPS
into the AC outlets in the rear of the UPS. Make sure that your equipment is
initially turned off, and that you don’t exceed the maximum power rating of your
UPS model (240W for UPS-400 and 400W for UPS-600).
NOTE: A typical IBM compatible PC or Macintosh with color monitor
draws 240W or less. Older equipment, file servers and high-end PC
workstations with large monitors usually draw more. Check your
equipment’s specifications for exact figures. Install only essential equip-
ment to your UPS. WARNING: NO LASER PRINTERS EVER!!
4. Turn on the UPS with the rear-panel power switch, and then your equipment.
After they’ve powered up, you may want to test the operation of the UPS by
unplugging the power cord of the UPS from the electrical outlet. Your
equipment should continue operating normally. But now, the green light of the
UPS should blink and the audible alarm should sound, indicating that your
equipment is being supplied with battery power.
6. Plug the power cord back into the outlet. Within several seconds, the audible
alarmwillgooff,andthegreenlightwillremainonwithoutblinking. Onceagain,
your equipment will continue to operate normally.
7. In the event of a real, prolonged power outage, the UPS will continue to operate
on battery power, until the batteries have only a few minutes of reserve power
left. Insuch acase, the audible alarm will beep more rapidly and the front panel
indicator light will blink more rapidly, warning you to save your work and
prepare for a shutdown.
8. Your UPS may be equipped with a port that allows it to communicate with file
servers and workstations for automatic backup & shutdown. Consult the
enclosed “Network Installation Instructions” for more information.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains important information for models UPS-
400 and UPS-600 that should be followed during installation
and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.
Nominal voltage of the battery supply inside the UPS is 12
volts.
Maximum Operating Ambient Temperature for the UPS is
40 degrees Celsius.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR SERVICING PERSONNEL
A. Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised
by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required
precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from
batteries.
B. When replacing batteries, use the same number and the
following type batteries: SEALED LEAD-CALCIUM.
C. CAUTION — Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a
fire. The battery may explode.
D. CAUTION — Do not open or mutilate the battery or
batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and
eyes. It may be toxic.
E. CAUTION — A battery can present a risk of high short
circuit current. The following precautions should be
observed when working on batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
