3.3.5 Connecting interface devices
If you do not want to use the communication capabilities of the UPS, please skip this section and proceed with
3.3.6.
The UPS is equipped with two interface ports: a USB port and an RJ 11 port, allowing advanced
communication between the UPS and a computer (network). Refer to chapter 5 for more detailed information.

1
Switch off your computer, and unplug it
from the socket-outlet.
2
VH Series 700-2000:
Disconnect the power cord from the
computer (rating 250Vac/10A) and connect
this cord to the male input socket (1, fig.
3.3.3a/b) at the rear of the UPS.
VH Series 3000 only:
Connect the cord that came with the UPS
to the male input socket.
3
Add up the power consumption (in VA) of
the appliances that will be protected by
the UPS (‘the load’) and make sure that the
resulting value does not exceed the VA
output rating of the UPS. This way you
ensure that the UPS is able to supply the
required output and prevent that an
overload situation will happen.
4.
Using the output cords provided, connect
the load to the appliance outlets (3/3a, fig.
3.3.3a/b) of the unit. Spread the loads over
the appliance outlets as equally as
possible. If you use a distribution box to
connect more than one appliance per
outlet, please note that the maximum AC-
current rating of each appliance outlet is
10A (outlet 3) or 16A (outlet 3a). See fig.
3.3.3a/b.
5
Connect the mains cord of the UPS to a
working, grounded AC wall socket outlet.
The green LED ‘operation’ will blink now:
mains power is available and the batteries
are charging. If the LED does not blink but
illuminates continuously instead, press
keypad ‘0’ for one second.
If both LEDs ‘operation’ and ‘alarm’ blink
and the beeper sounds 1/2secs, phase and
neutral are reversed at the input of the
UPS. Please read 4.4.12 and take
appropriate measures.

For best results, allow the UPS to recharge the batteries during a period of approx. 2 hours. It is
acceptable to use the UPS without first charging the battery, but the runtime may be reduced.
