®
are often used to identify high efficiency power supplies with Active PFC.
OVERVIEW
The
GX1325U provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always consistent. The GX1325U features 1030 Joules of surge
protection. The UPS provides long lasting battery backup during power outages with maintenance free batteries. The GX1325U ensures
consistent power to your computer system and includes software that will automatically save your open files and shutdown your computer system
during a utility power loss.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The GX1325U stabilizes inconsistent utility power voltage to nominal levels that are safe for equipment. Inconsistent incoming utility power may
be damaging to important data files and hardware, but with Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR),
damaging voltage levels are corrected to safe
levels. AVR automatically increases low utility power or decreases high utility power to a consistent and safe 110/120 volts. If incoming utility
voltage drops below 90 volts, or exceeds 140 volts the UPS automatically switch to battery back-up power.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity (1325VA/810W for the GX1325U). If the
rated capacities of the UPS are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or the circuit breaker to trip.
2. There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. It is suggested that the load placed on
the battery outlets not exceed 80% of the unit’s capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, after receiving a new UPS, to ensure the
battery’s maximum charge capacity, it is recommended that you charge the battery for at least 8 hours.
Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the
battery will automatically charge whether the UPS is turned on or off.
2. Note: This UPS is designed with a safety feature to keep the system from being turned on during shipment.
The first time you turn the UPS on, you will need to have it connected to AC power or it will not power up.
3. With the UPS turned off and unplugged, connect your computer, monitor, and any other
peripherals requiring battery backup into the battery
power supplied outlets.
DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum, sump pump or other large
electrical devices into the “Battery and Surge Protected Outlets”. The power demands of these devices may overload and damage
the unit.
4. To protect a fax, phone or modem, connect a telephone cable or network cable from the wall jack outlet to the IN
jack of the UPS. Connect a telephone cable or network cable from the OUT jack of the UPS to a fax machine,
telephone, modem, or network devices.
5. 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 electrical demands (e.g. air
conditioner, copier, etc…). The warranty prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet strips, and surge strips.
6. Press the power switch to turn the UPS on. The Power On indicator light will illuminate and the UPS will “beep”.
If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the UPS 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. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the UPS on.
7. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
8. To store the UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. While in storage, recharge the battery every three
months to ensure battery life.
9. Insure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.
