AC outlets of the Backup Power System. 

3.  Turn on the unit by pressing the power button for half a second. The green AC power LED 

confirms that the backup power system is ON and ready to provide backup power. When 
the battery needs recharging, the LED screen flashes “CHg” two times, then the battery 
capacity (%) once. This pattern of flashing continues until the battery capacity reaches 
100% and “FUL” appears on the screen.   

 

Important 

When installing the UBPS, ensure that there is a minimum of 3in. (7.5 cm) of space 

around the unit for optimal ventilation. 

 

 

Backup power features 

The unit’s 120V AC outlets are permanently backed up by the internal battery. To activate the 
AC outlets, turn on the unit using the power button. During a power outage or other utility 
problem (such as brownouts and over-voltages), the Backup Power System will keep your 
AC-powered products, office equipment, or small household appliances powered, depending 
on the power draw of your application. When utility power is restored, the unit automatically 
recharges its internal battery.   
 

Important:

 When connected to utility power, the unit automatically provides AC power from its 

internal battery when the utility voltage falls outside the 108-127V AC range. The emergency 
LED light turns on automatically to illuminate the rear AC outlets.
