SAFETY WARNINGS   

(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

 

This manual contains important safety instructions. Please read and follow all instructions carefully 
during installation and operation of the unit. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to 
unpack, install, or operate your UPS. 

 

This equipment can be operated by any individuals with no previous training. 

 

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and easily accessible. 
 
During the installation of this equipment it should be assured that the sum of the leakage currents of 
the UPS and the connected loads does not exceed 3.5mA. 
 
Attention, hazardous through electric shock. Also with disconnection of this unit from the mains, 
hazardous voltage still may be accessible through supply from battery. The battery supply should be 
therefore disconnected in the plus and minus pole at the quick connectors of the battery when 
maintenance or service work inside the UPS is necessary. 
 
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, the battery may explode. 
 
Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries, released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes.

HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR 

EQUIPMENT 

 

1.  Insure that the equipment plugged into the battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the 

UPS unit’s rated capacity (500VA/300W for OP500E, 750VA/450W for OP750E, 1000VA/700W 
for OP1000UE, 1500VA/900W for OP1500UTE). If rated unit capacities are exceeded, an 
overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or the circuit breaker to trip. 

2.  If the power requirements of your equipment are listed in units other than Volt-Amps (VA), convert 

Watts (W) or Amps (A) into VA by doing the calculations below. Note: The below equation only 
calculates the maximum amount of VA that the equipment can use, not what is typically used by 
the equipment at any one time. Users should expect usage requirements to be approximately 
60% of below value. 

 

 
TO ESTIMATE POWER REQUIREMENTS 

1.              Watts (W) x 2.0 =                    VA or               Amps (A) x 230 =       VA 
2. Add the totals up for all pieces of equipment and multiply this total by 0.6 to calculate actual 

requirements. There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer 
system will require. The total load that you will be placing on the battery-powered outlets should not 
exceed 80% of the unit’s capacity. 
 

HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE 

 

1. Connect the equipment to your UPS outlets. The IEC-IEC 

power cords coming with the unit are used to connect your 
computer and monitor to the UPS. Items such as copiers, 
laser printers, vacuums, space heaters, or other large 
electrical devices should not be connected to the UPS. 
Please make sure that the total loads of your equipments are 
less than the maximum total power load of your UPS. 

 

2. Use your computer power cord to connect the UPS to a wall 

outlet. Please avoid using extension cords and adapter plugs. (To maintain optimal battery charge, 
leave the UPS plugged in at all times.)

 

 

 
3. Press the UPS power button to turn it on. The “Power On” indicator will be illuminated in “Green”. 
 
4. Install your software and accessories. To use the software, simply connect the enclosed serial 

interface cable to the serial port on the UPS and an open serial port on the computer. 

BASIC OPERATION

Power Switch 

 

Press the power button to turn the UPS ON or OFF. 

 

 

Power On Indicator 

 
This LED is illuminated when the utility condition is normal and the UPS outlets are 
providing “clean power”, free of surges and spikes. 

 

 

Using Battery Indicator 

 

This illuminates during utility failure, indicating that the battery is supplying power to 
the battery-power supplied outlets. 
 

 

Boost Indicator 

This LED indicates that the UPS is operating in automatic voltage regulation mode. 
When the led is illuminated continuously, it indicates that input under-voltage and that 
the UPS unit boosts input voltage. 

 

 

Buck Indicator 

This LED indicates that the UPS is operating in automatic voltage regulation mode. 
When the led is illuminated continuously, it indicates that input over-voltage and that 
the UPS unit bucks the voltage. 

 
 

 

 

Battery Backup and Surge Protection Outlets 

 

 
The UPS provides battery powered and surge protected

 

outlets for connected 

equipment to insure temporary uninterrupted operation during a power failure and 
against surges and spikes. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Surge Protection Outlets 

 

 
 
The UPS provides surge protected

 

only outlet for connected

BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND STORAGE 

 

CAUTION!

 Read and follow the 

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

before servicing the battery.   

Service the battery under the supervision of personnel knowledgeable of batteries and their 
precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries. 

If you have questions, 

contact 

your dealer or call the number in this manual

 for information on battery replacement. 

CAUTION! Use only the specified type of battery. 

See your dealer for replacement batteries. 

CAUTION!

 The battery may present the risk of electrical shock. 

Do not dispose of batteries in a 

fire

, as it may explode. Follow all local ordinances regarding proper disposal of batteries. 

CAUTION! 

Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Release electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes 

and may be toxic. 

CAUTION! 

A battery can present a high risk of short circuit current and electrical shock. 

Take the 

following prec

autions before replacing the battery

1. Remove all watches, rings or other metal objects. 
2. Only use tools with insulated handles. 
3. 

DO NOT 

lay tools or other metal parts on top of battery or any battery terminals. 

4. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source of 

ground. 

CONTACT WITH A GROUNDED BATTERY CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK! 

The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation 
and maintenance (applicable to a UPS and a remote battery supply not having a grounded 
circuit). 

5. 

Batteries are consider 

HAZARDOUS WASTE

 and must be disposed of properly. Contact your 

local government for more information about proper disposal and recycling of batteries. 

6. Turn off and unplug all connected equipment. 
7

urn the UPS off and unplug it from the AC power source. 

. T

8

Turn the UPS upside down.
