OVERVIEW
The
A1500SP1 provides complete power protection from utility power that is not always
consistent.
The A1500SP1 features 1500 Joules of surge protection.
The unit ensures consistent power to your sump pump and provides long lasting battery
backup during power outages with maintenance free batteries.
AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The
A1500SP1
stabilizes inconsistent utility power voltage to consistent and safe 110/120 volts without
switching to battery backup power. This help to reserve the battery for when
it’s needed most during a
blackout.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, after receiving a new UPS, to ensure the
battery
’s maximum charge capacity, it is recommended that you charge the battery for at least 8 hours.
Your UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will automatically charge whether the
UPS is turned on or off.
2. Note: This UPS is designed with a safety feature to keep the system from being turned on during shipment.
The first time you turn the UPS on, you will need to have it connected to AC power or it will not power up.
3. Elevate the UPS at least 18 inches above the floor on a stable surface like a table or shelf.
4. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located near the equipment being attached for proper accessibility.
5. With the UPS unit turned off and unplugged, connect your sump pump into the battery power supplied outlet closest to the top of the unit. This unit
will work with sump pumps up to
1
/
2
HP in size.
DO NOT plug any additional equipment into the UPS, as any additional power demands
may overload and damage the UPS.
6. 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 (e.g. air conditioner,
copier, etc…).
The warranty prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet strips, and surge strips.
7. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The Power On indicator light will illumin
ate and the unit will “beep”.
If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the unit will emit one long beep. To correct this, turn the
UPS off and ensure that the sump pump is no large than
1
/
2
HP in size and that no other devices are plugged into
the unit. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the UPS on.
8. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
9. To store the UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. While in storage, recharge the battery every three
months to ensure battery life.
