Basic Operation
UPS ON/OFF
•
Plug the UPS into a live, grounded outlet.
The green
LED will illuminate, the battery charger will engage as necessary and the SURGE PROTECTED outlets will begin passing power.
•
Plug equipment into the UPS:
You will overload the UPS if the total volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment connected to the BATTERY/
SURGE PROTECTED outlets exceed the UPS output capacity. To find your equipment’s VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment
is listed in amps (A), multiply the number of amps by 230 to determine VA. For example: 1A × 230 = 230VA.
•
Turn the UPS on:
Press the power button
. The UPS alarm will beep for 2 seconds. The BATTERY/SURGE PROTECTED outlets will begin
passing AC line power. The UPS will automatically recharge internal batteries as needed. Once turned on, your UPS is ready to protect
connected equipment from blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages and transient surges.
