Important Safety Instructions

! "SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains important instructions that should be followed
during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries."
! "The unit is intended for installation in a temperature controlled indoor area free of conductive
contaminants."
! "When replacing batteries, replace with the same number and type of the batteries."
! "CAUTION - Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire. The battery may explode."
! "CAUTION - Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and
eyes. It may be toxic."
! "CAUTION - A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and 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.
3) Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
5) Disconnect charging source prior to connection or disconnection battery terminals. "
! During the installation of this equipment it should be assured that the sum of the leakage currents of the
UPS and the connected loads does not exceed 3.5mA.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, this unit may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
! Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
! Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
! Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
! Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV technician for help.
Safe and continuous operation of the UPS depends partially on the care taken by users. Please observe the
following precautions.
! Do not attempt to power the UPS from any receptacle except a 2-pole 3-wire grounded receptacle.
! Do not place the UPS near water or in environments of excessive humidity.
! Do not allow liquid or any foreign objects to get inside the UPS.
! Do not block air vents on the UPS
! Do not place the UPS under direct sunshine or close to heat-emitting sources.
! Do not plug appliances such as hair dryers into the UPS receptacles.
! Do not disassemble the UPS.
1. Introduction

1.1 System Description

This series are specifically designed for personal computer and workstation applications. It offers dependable power
protection in a light weighted, graceful and sleek design, fits nicely into today's modern office design. The dual
installation design (tower and slim) let you place properly at any place that you desire without sacrificing any precious
desktop space.
With built-in Boost and Buck function, this series can operate under a wide range of input utility power while maintain
steady output voltage. This is especially critical for equipments that require consistent backup power or working under
high utility fluctuation. As the increasing of computer peripherals in a computer system, additional surge protected
outlets are provided to protect your printer, scanner or other peripheral devices from surges, spikes, and
electromagnetic interference.
Beside providing power protection and EMI/RFI to output load, this series also provides surge and lightning protection
for data/fax Modem line (RJ11) thus further enhancing the protection capabilities. With the outstanding cost-
performance design, it is the best choice for home and office application all over the world.

2. Installation and Operating Instruction
2.1 Unpacking & Inspection
Examine the packing carton for damage upon receipt. Once the UPS has been removed from its shipping container,
everything inside the package should be inspected for damage that may have occurred while in transit. Notify the
carrier immediately if any damage is observed. The box should include the following:
! 1 Input Power Cord ( Male "schucko" / Female IEC )
! 2 Output Power Cords (male IEC / Female IEC)
! 1 User's Manual
! 1 Telephone Communication Line Phone Jack connection cord
! 1 Remote Monitoring Software and Computer Series Interface Cable
! 1 UPS Monitoring & Automatic Shutdown Software
Retain the packing for future use or dispose of it properly.

2.3 Installation
Before installation, please read and understand the following instructions:
! Placement : The UPS must be installed in a protected
environment away from heat- emitting appliances such as a
radiator or heater. Do not install this product where
excessive moisture is present.
! Ventilation : The location should provide adequate air flow
around the UPS with one inch minimum clearance on all
sides for proper ventilation.
! Charge the Battery : Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However charge loss may occur
during shipping and storage. So charging the battery for at least 8 hours is recommended to insure that the battery
is fully charged. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet.
! Connect to AC : Make sure that the voltage and frequency are correct. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire
grounding receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall outlet branch is protected. Avoid using extension cords if at
