HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity. If rated unit capacities are
exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or the fuse blow.
2. There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. For optimal system performance keep the load
below 80% of the unit’s rated capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the battery for at least 8 hours is recommended to ensure that the battery's
maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur during shipping and storage. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into
an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the on and off position.
2. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect the computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device.
3. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does
not service equipment with large electrical demands.
4. Depress the power switch to turn the unit on. The LCD indicator light will illuminate and the unit will "beep".
5. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
6. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the battery every three months to ensure battery
life.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
1. Use dry soft clothes to clean the front panel and plastic parts. Do not use any detergent that contains alcoholic ingredient.
2. The expected lifetime of the battery is around 3 years. Improper operation and harsh environment will reduce the actual lifetime.
3. Unplug the UPS from power inlet if the UPS will not operate for long period of time.
STORAGE
1.
First turn off your UPS and disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet. Disconnect all cables connected the UPS to avoid
battery drain.
2. The UPS should be stored in a cool dry location.
3. Make sure the battery is fully charged before the UPS is stored.
4. For extended storage in moderate climates, the battery should be charged for 12 hours every 3 months by plugging the power cord into the wall
receptacle and turning on the main switch. Repeat it every 2 months in high temperature locations.
