Installing Your UPS
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1.
Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt.
However,
recharging the battery for at least four hours
is rec-
ommended 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. 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.
2.
With the UPS unit OFF and unplugged, plug your home the-
ater equipment into the unit’s rear panel AC outlets.
DO NOT
plug
a laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum cleaner, paper shred-
der or other large electrical device into the UPS. The power
demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage
the unit.
3.
To protect a telephone modem line (DVR or Satellite TV
receiver) 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 equipment’s telephone jack or network device.
Note:
This unit provides both telephone and LAN protection on
one set of RJ-11/45 jacks. The telephone cir-
cuit uses pins 4 & 5 while the LAN circuit uses
pins 1, 2, 3 & 6. Adapters or custom cables
(not included) must be used when utilizing
both protection circuits at the same time.
4.
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 electri-
cal demands (e. g. refrigerator, copier, etc.) Avoid using exten-
sion cords. If used, the extension cord must be rated for 15
Amps.
5.
Press the power switch to turn the UPS on. The Power ON
indicator light will illuminate.
6.
The rear panel circuit breakers will open and power to the con-
nected equipment will be turned OFF if an overload is detected.
To correct this, turn the UPS off, unplug at least one piece of
equipment, wait 10 seconds, check to make sure that the circuit
breakers are reset, and turn the unit on.
7.
The UPS will automatically charge the battery whenever it is
plugged into an AC outlet,
8.
To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged
into an AC outlet at all times.
9.
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.

Test Switch
This UPS performs a self-test automatically when powered on. The test switch allows
you to test the system at any time. When the UPS passes the test, it returns to on-
line operation. If the UPS fails the self-test, please recharge the battery for 4 hours
and perform another self-test. If it fails after recharging the battery, please replace
the battery. In battery mode, you can press this button to silence an audible alarm.
