STEP ONE 

Unpack the UPS and position in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight, excessive heat and humidity and do not put in contact 

with fluids of any type.  

STEP TWO  

Connect the UPS to the mains power using the power lead provided.  

Plug the UPS into an electrical outlet that does not share a circuit with any other heavy electrical load. The UPS will require the 

internal battery to be charged for at least 6 hours before being able to provide autonomy in the event of a mains failure. 

STEP THREE  

Connect equipment 

Connect critical equipment to the battery backup outlets,  these are supported automatically when a mains failure occurs. 

Connect other equipment that needs only surge suppression to the surge-protected outlets. Power is not supplied to these outlets 

when the unit is switched off. Therefore, please be sure to switch on the unit. 

NOTE: Please DO NOT connect scanners or printers to the battery backup outlets. 

STEP FOUR  

Connect modem/phone network for surge protection 

Connect a single modem/phone line into surge-protected “IN” outlet on the back panel of the UPS unit. Connect from “OUT” outlet 

to the computer with another phone line cable. 

STEP FIVE 

Connect Communication Port 

To allow for unattended UPS shutdown/start-up and status monitoring, connect the communication cable one end to the USB port 

and the other to the communication port of your PC. With the monitoring software installed, you can schedule UPS shutdown/start-

up and monitor UPS status through PC. 

STEP SIX  

Software Installation 

1) Please download the monitoring and shutdown software from the websit

www.certaups.com/downloads

  to download 

ViewPower software.   

2) When your computer restarts, the monitoring software will appear as an orange plug icon located in the system tray, near the 

clock. 

STEP SEVEN 

Power On/Off UPS 

Press power switch on the front panel of the UPS to turn on the UPS. Press switch again to turn 

off the UPS. 

 

 

 

C200 SERIES STARTUP AND SHUTDOWN 

 

 
STARTING THE UPS WITH MAIN POWER PRESENT 

 

Please switch off the connected loads before turning on the UPS, and switch on connected devices one by 

one after the UPS is turned on. Switch off all connected loads before turning off the UPS. 

 

Verify that the total equipment ratings do not exceed the UPS capacity to prevent an overload alarm. 

 

 

To start the UPS via mains power (Hot start): 

 

1.

 

Check all the connections are properly connected and correct.  

 

2.

 

Supply mains power to the UPS, the fans will start and the LCD will show the default UPS status summary 

screen. 

 

3.

 

Press the 

 button and the buzzer will beep for 1 second and the UPS outlets will now be displaying the 

AC mode symbol and supplying AC power to any connected equipment. 

 

4.

 

The UPS will now be in supporting your equipment. If the utility power is abnormal, the UPS will transfer to 

battery mode without interruption of the AC supply to the connected equipment. 

 

 

STARTING THE UPS FROM BATTERY 

 

Before using this feature, the UPS must have been powered by utility power with output enabled at least 

once to ensure the unit is adequately charged.  

 

 

Battery start can be disabled.
