2.4. Setup the UPS
Step 1: UPS input connection
Plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounded receptacle only. Avoid using extension
cords.
CAUTION:
Please also install a UL-approved circuit breaker (40A) between the mains and AC
input in 3K model for safety operation.
Step 2: UPS output connection
There two kinds of outputs: programmable outlets and general outlets. Please connect
non-critical devices to the programmable outlets and critical devices to the general outlets.
During power failure, you may extend the backup time to critical devices by setting shorter
backup time for non-critical devices.

To allow for unattended UPS shutdown/start-up and status monitoring, connect the
communication cable one end to the USB/RS-232 port and the other to the communication
port of your PC. With the monitoring software installed, you can schedule UPS
shutdown/start-up and monitor UPS status through PC.
The UPS is equipped with intelligent slot perfect for either SNMP or AS400 card. When
installing either SNMP or AS400 card in the UPS, it will provide advanced communication and
monitoring options.
