DETERMININGTHEPOWERREQUIREMENTSOFYOUR
EQUIPMENT
1. MakesurethetotalVolt‐Amp(VA)requirementsofyourconnectedequipmentdoesnotexceed
themaximumVAratingfortheUPS.ThemaximumVAratingsareshownintheSpecifications
sectionofthisdocument.
2. Ensurethattheequipmentpluggedintothebattery‐poweredoutletsdoesnotexceedtheUPS
ratedcapacity.IfUPSratedcapacitiesareexceeded,anoverloadconditionmayoccurandcause
theUPStoshutdownandtripthecircuitbreaker.
3. IfthepowerrequirementsofyourequipmentarelistedinvaluesotherthanVolt‐Amps(VA),
convertWatts(W)orAmps(A)intoVAbydoingthecalculationsbelow.Note:Theequation
belowonlycalculatesthemaximumamountofVAthattheequipmentcanuse,notwhatis
typicallyusedbytheequipmentatanygiventime.Usersshouldexpectusagerequirementsto
beapproximately60%ofthevaluetoestimatepowerrequirements:
_____Watts(W)x1.67=_____VAor_____Amps(A)x120=_____VA
Addthetotalsforalloftheequipmentandmultiplythistotalby0.65tocalculateactualpower
requirements.
Note:Manyfactorscanaffecttheamountofpowerthatyourcomputersystemwillrequire.The
totalloadthatyouwillbeplacingonthebattery‐poweredoutletsshouldnotexceed85%ofthe
UPScapacity.
HARDWAREINSTALLATIONGUIDE
1. YournewUPSmaybeusedimmediatelyuponreceipt,however,chargingthebatteryforatleast
4hoursisrecommendedtoensurethatthebatteriesmaximumchargecapacityisachieved.
Chargelossmayoccurduringshipmentandstorage.Torechargethebattery,plugthepower
cordintothecorrecttypeACwalloutletandturnthepowerswitchon.Note:XtremePower
unitswillchargesthebatterywiththepowerswitchineithertheonoroffposition.
2. WiththeUPSoffandunplugged,connectyourcomputer,monitor,and/oranyotherexternally
poweredequipmentintothebatterypowersuppliedoutlets.DONOTplugalaserprinter,
copier,spaceheater,vacuum,orotherlargeelectricaldeviceintotheUPS.Thepower
demandsofthesedeviceswilloverloadandpossiblydamagetheUPS.
3. PlugtheUPSintoa2pole,3wiregroundedreceptacle(ACwalloutlet)asratedinthe
Specificationssectionofthisdocument.Makesurethewalloutletisprotectedbyafuseor
circuitbreakeranddoesnotserviceequipmentwithlargeinrushelectricaldemands(e.g.
refrigerator,copier,etc).Note:DONOTuseextensioncordsorpowerorsurgestripsonthe
inputortheoutputoftheUPS.

4. DepressthepowerswitchtoturntheUPSon.ThepoweronLEDindicator,andchargingLEDwill
illuminateaftertheUPSinitialtesttoindicatetheUPSisswitched“ON”.
5. Ifanoverloadisdetected,anaudiblealarmwillsoundandtheUPSwillemitonelongbeep
every2‐4seconds.Tocorrectthis,turntheUPSoffandunplugatleastonepieceofequipment
fromthebattery‐poweredoutlets.Wait10seconds.Makesurethecircuitbreakerisdepressed
andthenturntheUPSon.
6. YourUPSisequippedwithanauto‐chargefeature.WhentheUPSispluggedintoanACwall
outletandthereisacceptableACvoltagepresent,thebatterywillautomaticallyrecharge.
Chargingiscontrolledbyfirmwaretorapidlychargeunitsto15VDC(600/800VAunits)and
29VDC(1200/1500VAunits).Afterthisthresholdismet,theXVTplacesafloatchargeto
maintainbatteryenergy,andthecharginglightwillcontinuetostayonduringthistime.
7. Tomaintainoptimalbatterycharge,leavetheUPSpluggedintoanACwalloutletwiththe
powerswitchturnedonatalltimes.
8. TostoreyourUPSforanextendedperiodoftime,coverandstoreitwiththebatteryfully
charged.Rechargethebatteryeverytwomonthstomaintainbatterylife.
