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 (400VA/240W for Value 400E, 600VA/360W for Value 600E, 800VA/480W for
Value 800E). If rated unit capacities are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the
UPS unit to shut down or the fuse blow.
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 1.67 = 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
Before installation, please read and understand the following instructions:
1. Placement
The UPS must be installed in a protected environment away from heat- emitting appliances such
as a radiator or heat register. Do not install this product where excessive moisture is present.
2. Ventilation
The location should provide adequate air flow around the UPS with one inch minimum clearance
on all sides for proper ventilation.
3.
Charge the Battery
Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However charge loss may occur during
shipping and storage. So charging the battery for at least 8 hours is recommended to insure that
the battery is fully charged. (To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC
outlet.)
This UPS can be charged even when UPS is not turn on
.
4. Connect
to
AC
Use German 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.)
5.
Connect the Load
Connect the equipment to your UPS
outlets. The IEC power cord 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.
6.
Connect to Computer:
Install your software and accessories. To use the software, simply use the enclosed serial interface
or USB cable to connect the UPS unit and your computer.
