2. Installation
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The packaging is recyclable; keep it for reuse or be disposed of
properly.
2.1 Placement:
:
Install the UPS in a protected area with adequate flowing air and free of excessive dust. Do
not operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity is out of the specified limits.
2.2 Connect Computer Interface (optional):
SENTINEL series software (or other power management software) and an interface kits can
be used with this UPS. Use only kits supplied or approved by the manufacturer. If used,
connect the computer interface port and the REMOTE port of the UPS using the bonding
cable.
Note: Computer interface connection is optional. The UPS works properly without a
computer interface connection.
CAUTION
: Use only factory supplied or authorized UPS monitoring cable!
2.3 Connect to Utility:
The input power cord needs to connect the rear inlet socket of the UPS and plug into a
socket on the wall. Please notice the voltage of utility power should match with the UPS. For
example, the rating voltage of UPS is 110V/(220V), the input utility power should be the
same as 110V/(220V).
2.4 Charge the battery:
The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to utility power. For best results,
charge the battery for 8 hours in the initial use.
2.5 Connect the loads:
The employed equipment’s power cords (such as computer) are plugged into the sockets on
the rear panel.
CAUTION
: Never connect a laser printer or plotter to the “ UPS outlets”. A laser printer or
plotter periodically draws significantly more power than when its idle status,
and may overload the UPS.

3. Operation
3.1 Switch on:
While utility input is connected to the UPS, press the "ON/TEST" button and keep pressing
over than 2 seconds. After that, connect the electrical cords of the equipment that is going to
be used such as computer or monitor with the UPS outlets on the rear panel of UPS.
Don't overload the machine with all the equipment used. The buzzer will beep continuously
to indicate overload status. UPS will shut down automatically to protect the machine.
Attention:
If the power of UPS isn't supplied by utility but by the internal batteries to
engage the UPS, press the "ON/TEST" button and keep pressing for over 2 seconds.
3.2 Switch off:
By pressing and holding OFF button until the “LINE NORMAL” or “BACK UP” LED off.
3.3 Silence:
When UPS is under “BACKUP” mode, press “ON/TEST” button more than 1 second to
silence the audible alarm. (The function is disable when UPS is under condition of “LOW
BATTERY” or “OVERLOAD”)
3.4 Self-test:
Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the UPS and the condition of the battery.
While normal utility power connected, push the “ON/TEST” button more than 1 second and
UPS performs a self-test function. During the self-test, the UPS operates at 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 passed the self-test, it returns to line-interactive operation. The on-battery LED
goes off and the line-interactive LED goes on steadily. If the UPS is failed to pass the
self-test, it returns to line-interactive 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, ask our nearest dealer to replace battery.
3.5 Load level / Battery capacity bar graph:
When line voltage is normal, the 5-LED display shows the power drawn from the UPS by
load. The display indicates the percentage of the UPS‘s rated capacity. For example. If three
LEDs are lit, the load is drawing between 50% and 67% of the UPS’s capacity. If the UPS is
overloaded, the overload LED lights and alarm sounds. When back up mode, the 5-LED
display shows the percentage of the battery capacity. When only one LED lights, the battery
is in battery low situation and come to Shut-down soon.
3.6 Shutdown mode:
In shutdown mode the UPS stops supplying power to the load, waiting for return of utility
power. UPS will shutdown when battery is too low for protects the life of battery. And if the
“Green mode” is set, UPS will shutdown automatically if there is no utility power present.
