Installation 

Unpacking and Inspection 

Examine the packaging for damage.  Inform the carrier immediately if and/or when damage is 
noticed.  Retain the packaging for future use. 

Placement 

Install the UPS in a protected area with adequate airflow and free of excessive dust.  Do not 
operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity is outside the specified limits. 
 

Connect Computer Interface (optional) 

UPSilon 2000 (or selected option) and an interface kit can be used with this UPS.  Use only kits 
supplied or approved by the manufacturer.  If used, connect the interface cable to the 9 pin 
computer interface port on the back panel of the UPS (See Back Panel).  

Note: Computer interface connection is optional. The UPS works properly without a computer 
interface connection.  

Connect External Battery Bank (optional) 

Before connecting, make sure the external battery bank and the connector cable are compatible 
with this UPS. 
 

Note: External battery connection is not necessary. The UPS will work properly without an 
external battery bank connection. 
Caution: Use only factory supplied external battery connection cables!

Connect to Utility 

Connect the AC input power connector (included) to utility power. 

Charging the Battery 

The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to utility power.  For best results, charge 
the battery for 4 hours initially before connecting the load. 
 

Connecting the Loads 

Plug the loads into the output connectors on the rear  of  the  UPS.   To  use the UPS as a master 
on/off switch, make sure all of the loads plugged into the UPS are switched on.  Also available 
on these models is a surge-protected outlet where you can plug in your laser printer, plotter, etc. 
 

Note: Never connect a laser printer or plotter to a backup outlet with other computer 
equipment. A laser printer or plotter draws significantly more power on start-up than when 
idle, and will overload the UPS.  If you wish to have battery backup on a laser printer or 
plotter you will need to increase the size of the UPS system.
