5. INSTALLATION
5.1 Conditions
The UPS units are intended for use in a temperature-controlled, indoor area free of conductive contaminants. Select a location that will
provide good air circulation for UPS at all times. Do NOT operate the UPS in an environment where the ambient temperature does not
meet specifications.
5.2 Connection to the utility
The UPS comes furnished with one-output power cords for connection to computer equipment having «IEC 320» male appliance cou-
plers. In most cases this will not be a problem as most input cords that currently power the computer equipment can be swapped with
one of the supplied output cords. Hence, the swapped output line cord is then usable as the input line cord for the UPS.
5.3 Initial battery charging
Although the UPS is shipped from the factory with its internal battery in a fully charged state, you should still charge the battery for at
least 8 hours. The battery may have lost some charge during shipping and storage.
5.4 Connecting your equipment to the UPS
To ensure that your computer equipment will be protected during a utility failure, it is important that you determine the total power needs
of the equipment you wish to protect with the UPS. The power requirements of your equipment should be less than or equal to the capac-
ity of the UPS. Please refer to the UPS overload instruction. Once you have determined that your equipment and the UPS are compati-
ble, connect your equipment into the rear panel output receptacles on the UPS.
5.5 Test for proper operation
Turn on the power I/O switch and power up your computer equipment. The yellow indicator on the front panel should be illuminated and
your equipment should operate normally.
To test the operation of the UPS, simply unplug the input cord to simulate a utility blackout. During this time, the UPS will emit 1 beep
every 10 seconds and the yellow LED will be illuminated to remind you that your equipment is operating from a source of power that is
limited in duration. Restore power to the UPS by plugging in the line cord. This test should be repeated at least four to five times to ensure
proper operation.
Another way to test the operation of the UPS, would be to simply press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for approximately 4 seconds.
When you hear 4 beeps of alarm release the button. The UPS will run a 10 second self-test routine. The UPS will transfer your equip-
ment to power derived from the UPS’s internal battery while the self-test is being run.
