2. Installation
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Remove the rubber protective piece covering the ON/
OFF/TEST/SILENCE power switch on the front panel. The packaging is recyclable,
keep it for reuse or dispose of properly.
2.1 Placement:
Install the UPS in a protected area with adequate ventilation and free of excessive
dust. Do not operate the UPS where the temperature and humidity are out of the
specified limits.
2.2 Connect to Utility:
Review the utility input power to make sure that the utility voltage matches that of the
SBK350 (120 VAC). Plug the UPS power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
2.3 Charge the Battery:
The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to utility power. For best
results, connect the UPS to the input power source and allow the battery to charge
for at least 8 hours prior to initial use.
2.4 Connect the Loads:
Connect the power cord of each load to be UPS protected (such as a personal
computer) to the UPS receptacles. One convenience receptacle is provided for a
non-UP protected load.
CAUTION:
Never connect a laser printer or plotter to the UPS outlets. A
laser printer or plotter periodically draws significantly more
power than when it is idle, and may overload the UPS.
3. Operation
3.1 Turn UPS on with Green Mode Enabled
The Green Mode Function automatically shuts down the UPS under a no load or light
load condition (less than 15 watts) when in the BACKUP MODE. The Green Mode
Function is automatically enabled during normal turn on by pressing and holding the
ON/OFF power switch until the beep stops.
ATTENTION:
With the Green Mode Function enabled the UPS will automatically
shutdown after approximately 4 minutes if the connected loads
are not operating during a power failure. Once the utility power
returns, the UPS will return to normal LINE MODE operation.
CAUTION:
Never connect a laser printer or plotter to the UPS. These devices
draw significantly more power operating than they do at idle.
