5) Disconnect charging source prior to connection or disconnection battery terminals. "
! During the installation of this equipment it should be assured that the sum of the leakage currents of the
UPS and the connected loads does not exceed 3.5mA.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, this unit may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
! Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
! Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
! Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
! Consult the dealer or an experienced Radio/TV technician for help.
Safe and continuous operation of the UPS depends partially on the care taken by users. Please observe the
following precautions.
! Do not attempt to power the UPS from any receptacle except a 2-pole 3-wire grounded receptacle.
! Do not place the UPS near water or in environments of excessive humidity.
! Do not allow liquid or any foreign objects to get inside the UPS.
! Do not block air vents on the UPS
! Do not place the UPS under direct sunshine or close to heat-emitting sources.
! Do not plug appliances such as hair dryers into the UPS receptacles.
! Do not disassemble the UPS.
1. Introduction
1.1 System Description
This series are specifically designed for personal computer and workstation applications. It offers dependable power
protection in a light weighted, graceful and sleek design, fits nicely into today's modern office design. The dual
installation design (tower and slim) let you place properly at any place that you desire without sacrificing any precious
desktop space.
With built-in Boost and Buck function, this series can operate under a wide range of input utility power while maintain
steady output voltage. This is especially critical for equipments that require consistent backup power or working under
high utility fluctuation. As the increasing of computer peripherals in a computer system, additional surge protected
outlets are provided to protect your printer, scanner or other peripheral devices from surges, spikes, and
electromagnetic interference.
Beside providing power protection and EMI/RFI to output load, this series also provides surge and lightning protection
for data/fax Modem line (RJ11) thus further enhancing the protection capabilities. With the outstanding costperformance design, it is the best choice for home and office application all over the world.

2.3 Installation
Before installation, please read and understand the following instructions:
! Placement : The UPS must be installed in a protected
environment away from heat- emitting appliances such as a
radiator or heater. Do not install this product where
excessive moisture is present.
! Ventilation : The location should provide adequate air flow
around the UPS with one inch minimum clearance on all
sides for proper ventilation.
! Charge the Battery : Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However charge loss may occur
during shipping and storage. So charging the battery for at least 8 hours is recommended to insure that the battery
is fully charged. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet.
! Connect to AC : Make sure that the voltage and frequency are correct. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire
grounding receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall outlet branch is protected. Avoid using extension cords if at
16
all possible. If used, make sure the extension cord is rated for 12 Amps.
! .Determining the Load :
1. Make a list of all equipment that requires protection.
2. Calculate the sum of all the V x A ratings. (Input voltage/current shown on name plate).
3. Ensure that the total VA rating does not exceed the rated capacity of the UPS. If rated unit capacities are
exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or the circuit breaker to trip / AC
input fuse blown.
! Connect the Load : Plug your primary equipment (e.g. computer, monitor, critical data storage device, etc.) into
the Backup Power outlets. Leave the power switches of the equipment in the "Off " position for the moment.
! Connect to Computer : Use the enclosed RS-232 (DB9) cable. Plug the 9-pin male end into the UPS. Plug the 9pin female end into an open COM port of the computer.
Do not plug a laser printer or copy machine into the outlets of this UPS. The power demands of these particular
devices are much higher than typical peripherals.
! Connect the Fax / Modem Lines: To protect a fax or modem, connect the telephone cable from the wall outlet to
the "IN" jack of the UPS. Connect the telephone cable from the "OUT" phone outlet on the UPS to the fax or
modem. The phone jacks on the UPS accept standard sized phone cables (RJ11 communication cables).
2.4 Operation and Functional Test
! AC Mode : The UPS delivers power to the loads from the utility and maintains battery properly charged. It also
regulates the output voltage to within a narrow range and serves to isolate the load from surges and electrical
noise brought by the utility wiring.
! On-Battery Mode : The UPS operates on battery when the line voltage or frequency has fallen outside the limits.
Local users are alerted to this mode of operation by visual and audible indicators. The UPS provides power to the
load from the battery and through its inverter and the output voltage and frequency of the UPS are regulated within
a narrow band.

The built-in DB9 communication port on the UPS may be
connected to a host computer. The intelligent monitoring
software installed in the computer can get the operating
parameters and status through this channel and command
the UPS to conduct pre-defined steps to protect the data in
computer and inform the user to do all the necessary
preventive procedures.
This UPS communicates with the computer by sending out
RS-232 data streams to one of the serial ports through a 9in to 9-pin standard cable.
4. Service and Maintenance
To test the backup function, you may unplug the power cord of the UPS. The UPS will beep once every 4 seconds and
the LED will flash on and off.
If the UPS is left to run continuously, it is a good idea to perform a periodic function test (at least once every month) on
the unit. Observe that your equipment operates properly and uninterrupted during this period.
! Switch the UPS on and wait for the "AC normal" indicator light up. Then unplug the UPS from the AC outlet to
simulate a utility failure.
! When utility failure occurs, power is immediately supplied to your equipment from the UPS battery. The alarm will
beep once every 4 seconds, reminding you that your equipment is running on a limited power source.
! During utility failure, manually save and close the files you are currently working on. Then, switch the UPS off to
conserve the battery power for additional testing and usage. If the utility power is not restored, the alarm will
change to rapid beeps alerting the user that the UPS will soon run out of battery power and will shut itself down.
! Restore electrical power to connected equipment by plugging the UPS power cord back into a wall outlet.
Battery mode :
! Beep 2 times every 1 second for 105%. After 20 seconds UPS
will shutdown automatically ,
! Immediately shutdown for 140%

N.C.
! Use dry soft clothes to clean the front panel and plastic parts. Do not use any detergent that contains alcoholic
ingredient.
! The expected lifetime of the battery is around 3 years. Improper operation and harsh environment will reduce the
actual lifetime.
! Unplug the UPS from power inlet if the UPS will not operate for a long period of time.
! Charge the battery every 3 months to recover the self discharge capacity when the UPS is in extended storage.
! When replacing batteries, use the sealed lead-acid maintenance free battery with the same voltage and capacity.
! Proper disposal of batteries if required. Refer to your local codes for disposal requirements.
4.2 Battery Replacement Overview
