HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1.
Ensure that the equipment plugged into the battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit
’s
rated capacity. If rated unit capacities are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS
unit to shut down or the fuse blow.
2.
There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. For
optimal system performance keep the load below 80% of the unit
’s rated capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1.
Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the battery for at least 8 hours is
recommended to ensure that the battery's maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur
during shipping and storage. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit
will charge in both the on and off position.
2.
With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect the computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage
device.
3.
Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch outlet is
protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands.
4.
Depress the power switch to turn the unit on. The LCD indicator light will illuminate and the unit will "beep".
5.
To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
6.
To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the
battery every three months to ensure battery life.
