CHARGING THE BATTERY
The UPS will charge the internal batteries whenever the UPS is connected to
an AC source and there is an acceptable AC voltage present (100 - 140VAC). It
is recommended that the UPS's batteries be charged for a minimum of 4 hours
before use. The UPS may be used immediately, however, the “On Battery”
runtime maybe less than normally expected. NOTE: If the UPS is going to be
out of service or stored for a prolonged period of time, the batteries must be
recharged for at least twenty-four hours every ninety days.
RJ45 USB COMMUNICATIONS PORT CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)
The Power Monitoring Software can be used with the UPS. Use only the inter-
face cable that comes with the UPS. Connect the USB cable (RJ45 end) to the
RJ45 USB communications port on the side of the UPS. Connect the other end
of the USB cable to the device that will be monitoring/controlling the UPS.
NOTE: Connecting to the communications port is optional. The UPS works
properly without this connection.
CONNECTING THE UPS TO AN AC SOURCE
CAUTION - To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20
amperes maximum branch circuit over-current protection in accordance with
the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Plug the UPS into a two pole, three
wire, grounded receptacle only. Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs, or
surge strips.
PHONE/FAX/MODEM PROTECTION CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)
Connect a single line phone, fax or modem line to the RJ-11/45 modular con-
nectors on the side of the UPS. This connection will require another length of
telephone cable (provided). The cable coming from the telephone service is
connected to the port marked “IN”. The equipment to be protected is con-
nected to the port marked "OUT". NOTE: Connecting to the phone/fax/modem
modular connectors is optional. The UPS works properly without this connec-
tion.
CONNECTING YOUR EQUIPMENT
Plug the critical equipment into the Battery Backup & Surge output receptacles
on the UPS. Plug the non-critical equipment into the Surge Only output recep-
tacles on the UPS. Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs or surge strips
on the output of the UPS. Ensure that you do not exceed the maximum output
rating of the UPS (refer to the information label or the electrical specifications in
this manual).
CAUTION!
DO NOT connect a laser printer to the output receptacles on the
UPS.
