SAFETY WARNINGS
(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
This manual contains important safety instructions. Please read and follow all instructions carefully during installation and operation of the unit.
Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate your UPS.
This equipment can be operated by any individuals with no previous training.
The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily accessible.
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.
Attention, hazardous through electric shock. Also with disconnection of this unit from the mains, hazardous voltage still may be accessible
through supply from battery. The battery supply should be therefore disconnected in the plus and minus pole at the quick connectors of the

INSTALLING YOUR UPS SYSTEM
UNPACKING
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The box should contain the following:
UPS Unit x1; PowerPanel Business Edition Software Disk x1; Serial Interface Cable (DB-9) x1; USB Device Cable x1;Telephone Cable x1;
HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Insure that the equipment plugged into the battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity (1500VA/1000W for
PP1500, 2200VA/1500W for PP2200). 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.
2. If the power requirements of your equipment are listed in units other than Volt-Amps (VA), convert Watts (W) or Amps (A) into VA by doing
the calculations below. Note: The below equation only calculates the maximum amount of VA that the equipment can use, not what is
typically used by the equipment at any one time. Users should expect usage requirements to be approximately 60% of below value.
TO ESTIMATE POWER REQUIREMENTS
1. Watts (W) x 2.0 = VA or Amps (A) x 120 = VA
2. Add the totals up for all pieces of equipment and multiply this total by 0.6 to calculate actual requirements. There are many factors that can
affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. The total load that you will be placing on the battery-powered outlets
should not exceed 80% of the unit’s capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Connect the equipment to your UPS outlets. Items such as copiers, laser printers, vacuums,
space heaters, paper shredders, or other large electrical devices should not be connected to
the UPS. Please assure that the total loads of your equipments must be less than the
maximum total power load of your UPS.
2. Connect your UPS power cord into a two-pole, three-wire grounding receptacle only. Please
avoid using extension cords and adapter plugs. (To maintain optimal battery charge, leave
the UPS plugged in at all times.)
3. Press the UPS power button to turn it on. The “Power On” indicator will be illuminated in
“Green”.
4. Install your optional software and accessories. To use the software, simply connect the enclosed serial interface cable to the serial port on
the UPS and an open serial port on the computer.

Serial/ USB Ports
The PP1500/PP2200 provides two serial and one USB ports to allow connection and communication between the UPS and two computers.
This allows the simultaneous shutdown of two computer systems. These interfaces are also compatible with the UPS service provided by
Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003.
1. The Primary PC
To control the UPS and make any change to the operation of the UPS,
please install the PowerPanel Business Editon in your primary computer and
then connect it to the Serial Port I or USB port of the UPS.
2. The Secondary PC
The secondary computer with PowerPanel installed should be connected to
the serial port II. This PC will shutdown following the user settings in
PowerPanel Software when a power failure occurs but it is unable to exhibit any
control over the UPS.
When power failure occurs, one of the following shutdown sequences will be executed:
1. If the Primary and Secondary serial ports are both in use: the Primary computer will start to count down (user controlled delay) for shutdown
(User Control delay can be set in the PowerPanel Business Edition Recommended time is 5 minutes). Once the Primary computer is shutdown,
the UPS will signal the Secondary computer and initiate the Secondary to shutdown. The UPS default shutdown time is 2 minutes. Therefore,
it is recommended that Secondary computer is set to shutdown within 1 minute in PowerPanel Software.
2. If only the Secondary serial port is in use: the Secondary computer will shutdown following the user settings in PowerPanel Software.
However, the Secondary computer will not able to signal the UPS to shutdown. Therefore, the UPS will only power off when it is in low
battery.
