7.1 Interface Kits
Each interface kit includes a special interface cable which is required
to convert status signals from the UPS into signals that the individual
operating system can recognize. The interface cable must be con-
nected to the REMOTE PORT on the UPS. The other side of the
interface cable can be either connected to COM 1 or COM 2 of your
PC. For other installation instructions and features, please refer to
the READ.ME file.
Caution: Use only factory supplied or authorized UPS monitoring cable!
6.0 BACK-UP (slow alarm)
When in "BACK-UP" mode, the YELLOW LED illuminates and the
UPS sounds an audible alarm. The alarm stops when the UPS returns
to LINE NORMAL operation.
6.1 LOW BATTERY (rapid alarm)
In "BACK-UP" mode, when the battery energy runs low, the UPS
beeps rapidly until the UPS shuts down from a depleted battery or
returns to LINE NORMAL operation.
6.2 OVERLOAD (continuous alarm)
When the UPS is overloaded (the connected loads exceed the maxi-
mum rated capacity) the UPS emits a continuous alarm to warn of an
overload condition. Disconnect nonessential equipment from UPS to
eliminate the overload.

5.0 Switch On
With the UPS plugged in, press and hold the on/off/test button for
more than 1 second until the "LINE NORMAL" LED lights up to
switch the UPS on. The UPS will perform self-testing each time it is
switched on.
Note: When switched off the UPS maintains the battery
charge and will respond to commands received through
the computer interface port.
5.1 Switch Off
Press and hold the on/off/test/ button for more than 3 seconds until
the "LINE NORMAL" or "BACK-UP" LED goes off.
5.2 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 second 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 the
loads on-battery (the on-battery LED comes on).
If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to on-line operation. The
on-battery LED goes off and the on-line LED goes on steady. 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.
5.3 SILENCE
In "BACK-UP" mode, push on/off/test less than 1 second to silence
the audible alarm. (The function is void when under condition of
"LOW BATTERY" or "OVERLOAD").
Note: In back-up mode, the UPS can be automatically
turned off if none of the connected loads are operating.
