  that provide 

surge protection (see figure B). The 

filtered outlets are not backed up 

by battery power in the event of a

Battery charge: 

The 

UPS

 charges 

the battery as soon as it is 

connected to the AC outlet, whether 

button  

13

  is pressed or not. When 

used for the first time, the battery 

will only provide its maximum 

autonomy after it has been charged 

for 8 hours. It is recommended that 

the 

UPS

 be permanently connected 

to the AC power supply to ensure 

the best possible autonomy.

: press 

button  

13

  for about 1 second.

Filtered outlets   8   without 

battery backup: 

Equipment 

connected to these outlets is 

supplied as soon as the AC cord   

2

is plugged in. They are not affected 

by button  

13

 .

continues to operate on battery 

power. Button

  flashes green. 

In normal mode, the audio alarm 

beeps every ten seconds, then 

every three seconds when the end 

of battery backup time is near. In 

silent mode (see the section on 

settings), the audio alarm simply 

beeps once when the 

UPS

 transfers 

to battery power.

◗

 If the power outage lasts longer 

than the battery backup time, the 

UPS

 shuts down and automatically 

restarts when power is restored. 

Following a complete discharge, a 

few hours are required to recharge 

the battery back to full backup time.
