UNPACKING

HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However,
recharging the battery for at least
four hours
is recommended to insure 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 as well as the off position.
2. If you wish to use the software, connect the
enclosed serial interface cable to the serial port
on the UPS and an open serial port on the
computer. If you are not going to use the
software, you do not need to connect the cable.
3. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any externally
powered data storage device (Zip drive, Jazz drive, Tape drive, etc…) into the battery power
supplied outlets. Plug your peripheral equipment(printer, scanner, speakers) into the full-time
surge protection outlets.
DO NOT plug a laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum,
paper
shredder
or other large electrical device into the UPS. The power demands of these
devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
4. To protect a fax, telephone, modem line or network cable, connect a
telephone cable or network cable from the wall jack outlet to the IN jack of
the UPS. Then connect a telephone cable or network cable from the OUT
jack on the UPS to the modem, computer, telephone, fax machine, or
network device.
5. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounding 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 (e.g. refrigerator, copier, etc…). Avoid using extension cords.
6. Depress the power switch to turn the unit on. The power on indicator light will illuminate and the
unit will “beep” once.
7. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the unit will emit one long beep. To
correct this, turn the UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power
supplied outlets. Wait 10 seconds. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the
UPS on.
8. Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet,
the battery will automatically recharge.
9. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
10. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged.
Recharge the battery every three months to insure battery life.
