Owners manual

Plug the UPS into an outlet: After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF/TEST

button for one second 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 nd 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.

“ON/OFF/TEST” Button

• ToturntheUPSon:Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST Button for one second.* 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 one second.* 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 three seconds.

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 and the UPS alarm will sound. See LED

descriptions below to determine the results of the Self-Test.

Note: You can leave connected equipment on during a self-test.

*The alarm will beep once briey after one second has passed. **If fully charged.

“ON/OFF” LED: this green LED lights continuously to indicate that the UPS is ON and

supplying your equipment with AC power either from a utility source or from the UPS’s

internal batteries. If the UPS’s alarm is sounding (4 short beeps followed by a pause),

the UPS is operating from its internal batteries.
