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
all possible. If used, make sure the extension cord is rated for 12 Amps.
Connect the Load: Plug your primary equipment (e.g. computer, monitor, critical data storage device, etc.) into
the Backup Power outlets. Leave the power switches of the equipment in the "Off " position for the moment.
Connect to Computer: Use the enclosed RJ48-USB cable. Plug the RJ48 into the UPS and the USB end into an
open computer USB port.
Do not plug a laser printer or copy machine into the outlets of this UPS. The power demands of these particular
devices are much higher than typical peripherals.
Connect the Tel. / Fax / Modem Lines: To protect a fax or modem, connect the telephone cable from the wall
outlet to the "IN" jack of the UPS. Connect the telephone cable from the "OUT" phone outlet on the UPS to the fax
or modem. The phone jacks on the UPS accept standard sized phone cables (RJ11 communication cables).
2.4 Operation and Functional Test
AC Mode : The UPS delivers power to the loads from the utility and maintains battery properly charged. It also
regulates the output voltage within a narrow range and serves to isolate the load from surges and electrical noise
brought by the utility wiring.
On-Battery Mode : The UPS operates on battery when the line voltage or frequency has fallen outside the limits.
Local users are alerted to this mode of operation by visual and audible indicators. The UPS provides power to the
load from the battery and through its inverter and the output voltage and frequency of the UPS are regulated within
a narrow band.

every 4 seconds.
2.5 Manual Simulation of Power Outage for the UPS
To test the backup function, you may unplug the power cord of the UPS. The UPS will beep once every 4 seconds and
the LED will flash on and off.
If the UPS is left to run continuously, it is a good idea to perform a periodic function test (at least once every month) on
the unit. Observe that your equipment operates properly and uninterrupted during this period.
To conduct a simulation-test:
Switch the UPS on and wait for the "AC normal" indicator light up. Then unplug the UPS from the AC outlet to
simulate a utility failure.
When utility failure occurs, power is immediately supplied to your equipment from the UPS battery. The alarm will
beep once every 4 seconds, reminding you that your equipment is running on a limited power source.
During utility failure, manually save and close the files you are currently working on. Then, switch the UPS off to
conserve the battery power for additional testing and usage. If the utility power is not restored, the alarm will
change to rapid beeps alerting the user that the UPS will soon run out of battery power and will shut itself down.
Restore electrical power to connected equipment by plugging the UPS power cord back into a wall outlet.
Backup all unsaved files before you perform the power outage simulation test. If monitoring software has been
installed in the computer, then verify if the software can save the file and shut down the UPS automatically
