ONNECTIONS AND SWITCHING ON FOR THE FIRST TIME

1)  Check that there is a protection device against overcurrents and short circuits in the system upstream from the 

UPS. The recommended protection value is 10A (for the 700VA, 1000VA and 1500VA versions) and 16A (for 
the 2200VA, 3000VA and ER versions) with a B or C trip curve. 

2)  Power the UPS using the input cable provided. 

3)  Press the ON/OFF switch located on the front panel. 

4)  After a few moments, the UPS will switch on, the display will light up, there will be a beep and the 

 icon will 

start to flash. The UPS is in stand-by mode: meaning that it is only consuming a small amount of power. The 
microcontroller is powered which supervises the self-diagnoses; the batteries are charging; everything is ready 
for UPS activation. Battery operation is also in stand-by mode provided that the timer is active. 

5)  Connect the equipment to be powered to the sockets on the back of the UPS, using the cable supplied or a 

cable no longer than 10 metres. 

CAUTION: do not connect equipment which absorbs more than 10A to the IEC 10A sockets. For equipment 
which exceeds this level of absorption, use the IEC 16A socket only (available on the 3000VA version). 

6)  Check which operating mode is set on the display and, if necessary, see the “

Configuring operating modes

” 

paragraph to set the required mode. For advanced UPS configurations execute the software UPSTools which 
can be downloaded from the web site 

www.riello-ups.com.
