3. Installation and Operation
Before installation, please read and understand the following instructions.
3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Examine the packing carton for damage. Notify the carrier immediately if there is any damage.
3.2 Placement
1. This unit is intended for indoor use only. Although your UPS is very rugged, its components are not
sealed from the environment.
2. The UPS must be installed in a protected environment away from heat-emitting appliances such as a
radiator. Do not install this product where excessive moisture is present.
SAVE THE BOX
3. The location should provide adequate air flow around the UPS with 50mm clearance on all sides for
proper ventilation.
3.3 Determining How Much Equipment You Can Connect to Your UPS
1. Make a list of all equipment that requires protection.
2. Each piece of equipment has voltage and current (VA) ratings printed on the back label. Your
equipment may have a voltage rating such as 88-264V. Since the standard voltage in the UK is 230V,
you should use 230V in your calculations.
3. Multiply the voltage and current of each piece of equipment (VA requirements); for example, 230V x
1A=230VA. Add up the VA requirements for each device; for example, 230VA + 40VA = 270VA.
4. Make sure that your UPS has at least as much VA capacity as your equipment requires.
Note:
Normally 25% capacity reservation is recommended.
