Quick Installation
1
Plug the UPS into an outlet: After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF/TEST
button for three seconds to turn the UPS on (see Basic Operation section). Please Note! The UPS
will not turn on automatically in the presence of live utility power.
2
Plug your equipment into the UPS: Select outlets (see diagram) will provide battery backup
and surge protection; plug your computer, monitor and other critical devices here.* Select outlets
(see diagram) will provide surge protection only; plug your printer and other non-essential devices
here.
* Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings
for all the equipment you connect to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets 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 Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a self-test (see "ON/
OFF/TEST" Button description).
Note: UPS system will function properly upon initial startup; however, maximum runtime for the unit's battery
will only be accessible after it has been charged for 24 hours.
Basic Operation
"ON/OFF/TEST" Button
• To turn the UPS on: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for 3 seconds
to turn on the UPS system. Release the button as soon as the ON/OFF LED
illuminates.* If utility power is absent, pressing the Button will "cold-start" the
UPS, i.e. turn it on and supply power from its batteries.**
• To turn the UPS off: Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST Button for three
seconds.* The UPS will be turned completely off (deactivated).
• To run a Self-Test: With your UPS plugged in and turned ON, press and hold the
ON/OFF/TEST button for four seconds.
CAUTION! To perform a self-test, you must hold the ON/OFF/TEST button
continuously for four seconds; if you release the button too early, you will
turn the UPS system OFF and cut power to connected equipment loads.
The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery to
test its load capacity and charge. All LEDs will be lit (for models with an activated
alarm, the UPS alarm will also sound). See LED descriptions below to determine
the results of the Self-Test.
Note: You can leave connected equipment on during a self-test.
CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries. This will remove
safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your
network connections.
*For models with an activated alarm, this will be followed by a beep. **If fully charged.
