DO NOT plug Power Strips or Surge Protection Devices into
the ”Battery Backup” Receptacles on the UPS. Plugging Power
Strips or Surge Protection Devices into the “Battery Backup”
Receptacles may cause internal damage to the UPS, the Power
Strip, or the Surge Protection Device.
WARNING!
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The MBK-E Series UPS will charge the internal batteries whenever the UPS is
connected to an AC source. 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 may be less than normally
expected.
CAUTION!
If the UPS indicates a Site Wiring Fault (SWF), have a
Qualified Electrician correct the problem.
Connecting to the Communications Port is optional. The UPS works
properly without a connection.
NOTE:
CHECKING THE SITE WIRING FAULT
After plugging in the UPS, check the Site Wiring Fault (SWF) LED on the rear
panel of the UPS. If the SWF LED is illuminated, the UPS is plugged into an
improperly wired AC outlet.
COMMUNICATIONS PORT CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)
MINUTEMAN Power Monitoring Software and interface cables kits can be used
with the MBK-E Series UPS. Use only MINUTEMAN or MINUTEMAN ap-
proved interface cables with these UPSs. Connect the USB interface cable to
the USB communications port on the rear panel of the UPS. Connect the other
end of the cable to the device that will be monitoring/controlling the UPS.
CONNECTING THE UPS TO AN AC SOURCE
Plug the UPS into a two pole, three wire, grounded receptacle only. Do not use
extension cords, adapter plugs, power strips or surge strips.
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.
Connecting to the Network/Fax/Modem protection socket connection
is optional. The UPS works properly without a connection.
NOTE:
NETWORK/FAX/MODEM PROTECTION CONNECTION (OPTIONAL)
Connect a 10 Base-T network, Fax or Modem line to the RJ11/RJ45 protection
sockets on the rear panel of the UPS. This connection will require another
length of telephone or network cable. The cable coming from the telephone
service or networked system is connected to the port marked “IN”. The equip-
ment to be protected is connected to the port marked "OUT".
