3. Connect devices to UPS
After the UPS is turned on, you can connect devices to the UPS.
1) Turn on the UPS first and then switch on the devices one by one, the LCD panel will display total
load level.
2) If it is necessary to connect the inductive loads such as a printer, the in-rush current of the load
should be calculated carefully to see if it meets the overload capability of the UPS.
We strongly
recommend that 200% overload is less than 0.2s, 150% overload is less than 0.5s.
3) If the UPS is overload, the buzzer will beep twice every second.
4) When the UPS is overload, please remove some loads immediately. It is recommended to have the
total loads connected to the UPS less than 80% of its nominal power capacity to prevent overload
for system safety.
5) If the overload time is over acceptable time listed in spec at AC mode, the UPS will automatically
transfer to Bypass mode. After the overload is removed, it will return to AC mode. If the overload
time is over acceptable time listed in spec at Battery mode, the UPS will become fault status. At this
time, if bypass is enabled, the UPS will power to the load via bypass. If bypass function is disabled
or the input power is not within bypass acceptable range, it will cut off output directly.
4. Charge the batteries
1) After the UPS is connected to the utility power and be turned on to AC mode, the charger will
charge the batteries automatically except in Battery mode, during battery self-test ,overload or
battery voltage is high.
2) Suggest to charge batteries at least 10 hours before use. Otherwise, the backup time may be
shorter than expected time.
3) Make sure the battery numbers setting on the control board (Please refer to the section 3-4-12 for
detailed setting) is consistent to real connection.
5. Battery mode operation
1) When the UPS is in Battery mode, the buzzer will beep according to different battery capacity. If the
battery capacity is more than 25%, the buzzer will beep once every 4 seconds; If the battery
voltage drops to the alarm level, the buzzer will beep quickly (once every sec) to remind users that
the battery is at low level and the UPS will shut down automatically soon. Users could switch off
some non-critical loads to disable the shutdown alarm and prolong the backup time. If there is no
more load to be switched off at that time, you have to shut down all loads as soon as possible to
protect the devices or save data. Otherwise, there is a risk of data loss or load failure.
2) In Battery mode, if buzzer sound annoys, users can press the Mute button to disable the buzzer.
3) The backup time of the long-run model depends on the external battery capacity.
4) The backup time may vary from different environment temperature and load type.
5) When setting backup time for 16.5 hours (default value from LCD panel), after discharging 16.5
hours, UPS will shut down automatically to protect the battery. This battery discharge protection
can be enabled or disabled through LCD panel control. (Refer to 3-7 LCD setting section)
6. Test the batteries
1) If you need to check the battery status when the UPS is running in AC mode/CVCF mode, you could
press the “Test” button to let the UPS do battery self-test.
2) Users also can set battery self-test through monitoring software.
7. Turn off the UPS with utility power supply in AC mode
1) Turn off the inverter of the UPS by pressing “OFF” button for at least 0.5s, and then the buzzer will
beep once. The UPS will turn into Bypass mode.
NOTE 1: If the UPS has been set to enable the bypass output, it will bypass voltage from utility
power to output terminal even though you have turned off the UPS (inverter).
NOTE 2: After turning off the UPS, please be aware that the UPS is working at Bypass mode and
