Hardware Installation Details
1.
Battery charge loss may occur during shipping and
storage. Before using the UPS, it’s strongly recommended
to charge the batteries for four hours to ensure their
maximum charge capacity. To recharge the batteries, plug
the UPS into an AC outlet.
2.
When using the included software, connect either the
serial or the USB cable between the computer and the
corresponding port on the UPS.
NOTE
: If the USB port is used, the serial port will be
disabled. They cannot be used simultaneously.
After connecting to either the USB port or the Serial port
on the UPS, a computer with the Middle Atlantic Power
Manager Software installed can control the operating
schedule, battery test, outlets, as well as obtain UPS
status information. However, other computers with Middle
Atlantic Power Manager Software can only obtain UPS
status information via LAN connection.
3.
Connect your computer, monitor, and any externally
powered data storage device (hard drive, tape drive, etc.)
into the outlets only when the UPS is off and unplugged.
DO NOT plug a laser printer, copier, space heater,
vacuum, paper shredder or other large electrical device
into the UPS. The power demands of these devices will
overload and possibly damage the unit.
4.
To protect a fax machine, telephone, modem line or
network cable, connect the telephone or network cable
from the wall jack outlet to the jack marked “IN” on the
UPS and connect a telephone cable or network cable from
the jack marked “OUT” on the UPS to the modem,
computer, telephone, fax machine, or network device.
5.
Press the ON/OFF switch to power on the UPS. The
Power-On indicator light will display when activated. If an
overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the
UPS will continuously emit two beeps per second. Before
resetting the unit, unplug some equipment from the outlets
first. Make sure your equipment carries a load current
within the unit’s safe range. Refer to “Technical
Specifications” in the User Manual for more information.
6.
This UPS is equipped with an auto-charge feature. When
the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will
automatically charge, even when the unit is switched off.
7.
To maintain an optimal battery charge, leave the UPS
plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
8.
Before storing the UPS for an extended period of time,
turn the unit OFF. Then cover it and store it with the
batteries fully charged. Recharge the batteries every three
months to ensure their full capacity and maintain the
longest possible battery life. Maintaining a good battery
charge will help prevent possible damage to the unit from
battery leakage.
9.
The UPS has one USB port (default) and one Serial port
that allow connection and communication between the
UPS and any attached computer running the Middle
Atlantic Power Manager Software. The UPS can control
the computer’s shutdown during a power outage through
the connection while the computer can monitor the UPS
and alter various programmable parameters.
NOTE
: Only one communication port can be used at a
time. The port not in use will automatically become
disabled or the serial port will be disabled if both ports are
attached.
10.
EPO (Emergency Power Off) Port: EPO ports allow
administrators the capability to connect the UPS unit to
customer-supplied EPO switches. These installations give
operators a single access point to immediately power-off
all equipment connected to the UPS during an emergency.
11.
To avoid electric shock, turn the unit OFF and disconnect
the unit from utility power before plugging in the power
cord. The power cord must be connected to a properly
wired and grounded outlet.
12.
The internal UPS temperature increases when fans are
not in operation or ventilation is obstructed. When the high
temperature sensor activates protection, the UPS
generates an alarm and shuts down to avoid unexpected
equipment damage. If overtemperature occurs contact
Middle Atlantic Product’s technical support at
1-800-266-7225.
