and external drive should be plugged into these outlets. Battery 
power is automatically provided in case of a power outage. 
Power (AC or battery) is not supplied to these outlets when the 
UPS is switched off. (Do not plug surge protectors or power 
strips into the battery back up outlets). 

Note!    During the AVR Mode, the total load that you will be 
placing on the battery back up outlets should not exceed 
80% of the unit’s capacity.

 

PHONE/FAX/ MODEM PROTECTION 

The phone/fax/modem lines are surge protected and provide 
complete safety for line connection.   

INTERFACE PORTS (USB & RS232)   

The UPS provides both a USB and RS232 port for use with 
your computer. 

NOTE: Choose one port only.

   

AC INPUT BREAKER (CIRCUIT BREAKER)

                                                      INSTALLATION                                         

Note!  

Before installation, please inspect the UPS Upon 
receipt. Make sure that the UPS is not damaged. 

Connect to AC Utility Power 

Connect the AC inlet to utility power via the power 
cord. 
 

Charging the Battery 

For best results, charge the battery for 8 hours prior to initial 
use. The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to 
the utility power.   

Plug in Power Devices 

Plug your devices into the AC outlets on the rear of the UPS. 
To use the UPS as a master on/off switch, make sure all of 
the loads are switched on. 

Caution: Never connect a laser printer or 
scanner to the backup outlets of UPS with 
other computer equipment. A laser printer 
or scanner draws significantly more power 
when in use than when idle. This may 
overload the UPS. 

Turning on the UPS

 

Turn on your UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test 
button for approximately 2 seconds until the “ON LINE” Green 
comes on.

 

Turning off the UPS

 

Turn off the UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test 
button for more than 2 seconds until the “ON LINE” or “ON 
BATTERY” LED goes off. 

To Conduct a Self Test 

Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the UPS and 
the condition of the battery. In normal utility power, push the 
On/Off/Test button less than 1.5 seconds and the UPS 
performs a self-test function. During the self-test, the UPS 
operates in back-up mode. 

Note! During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates on- 
battery backup power (the on-battery LED comes on). If 
the UPS passes the self -test, it returns to on-line 
operation. If the UPS fails the self-test, it immediately 
returns to on-line operation and lights the replace battery 
LED. The loads are not affected. Recharge the battery 
overnight and perform the self- test again. If the replace 
battery LED is still on, the battery will need to be 
replaced. 

Connect the phone/ fax/ modem/ lines

 

 

Connect a single phone/ fax/ modem line into the 
surge-protected sockets on the back of the UPS. The RJ-11 
modular sockets accepts standard single line telephone 
connections. The connection will require another length of 
telephone cable, which is supplied. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Note! 

This connection is optional but highly suggested as 

phone/ fax/modem lines often carry dangerous surges and 
spikes. The UPS works properly without a phone/ fax/ modem 
connection. 

Caution! 

The phone/ fax/modem protection feature could be 

rendered inoperable if improperly installed. Make sure that 
the telephone line from the wall is plugged into the connector 
marked “IN”, and the device to be protected is plugged into 
the connector marked “ OUT”.   
 
 
 
 

Connect the Network Protection Lines

 

 

Connect the network line from the wall to the connector 
marked “IN”, then connect the device (Ethernet card) to be 
protected to the connector marked “OUT”.   
 
* All equipment must be turned off prior to hardware 
installation. 

                 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
