1.2 Outlets Design for AC Adapters
Allows 6 AC power adapter blocks to be plugged into the UPS, respectively, without
blocking adjacent outlets.
1.3 Battery Power-Supplied Outlets
Provides instantaneous back-up power and full-time bypass protection to your equipment.
Ensure temporary uninterrupted operation of your equipment during power failure.
1.4 Full-time Bypass Protection Outlets
Provides full-time Bypass protection to your equipment. Prevents surges from traveling
through your system through unprotected peripherals.
1.5 Power button (ON/OFF/TEST/SILENCE)
The UPS can be automatically turned on while connected to the utility power. After the UPS
is turned on, it conducts a self-test and enters normal mode. Pressing the power button for 1
second under normal mode will enable the self-test function again. The silence function can
be enabled/disabled by pressing the power button for 1 second while under backup mode.
In addition, the power button can be used as the master on/off switch of your equipment by
leaving your equipment connected to UPS and switched on. To turn off the UPS, please
press power button until buzzer stops (about 2 seconds).
1.6 Circuit Breaker
Serves as an overload and fault protection. This is a critical component of the advanced
UPS surge protection circuit.
1.7 “Phone Jack” Communications Protection Ports
The UPS’s exclusive communication protection ports protect any standard modem, PBX
System or 10/100 Base-T connection. This communication port can accommodate either the
phone (RJ-11) or network (RJ-45) type of jack.
1.8 USB Interface port
USB interfaces are provided for using with UPSMON software. Windows 98SE/ 2000/ ME/
XP and Windows 2003 operating systems support communication with the UPS via
UPSMON software.

NSTALLATION
2.1 Recharge the battery
The UPS may be used right out of the box. The battery is fully charged before it is shipped
from the factory. However, the user is encouraged to charge the battery for at least four
hours before using the UPS. Energy loss may occur during shipping or storage. To recharge
the battery, simply let UPS be plugged into an AC outlet and switch it on.
2.2 Connect the loads
Plug your primary equipment (e.g. computer, monitor and critical data storage device, etc.)
to the Battery backup outlets. Plug your peripheral equipment (e.g. printer, scanner, fax, or
audio device) to the Full-time Bypass Protection outlets. Do not plug a laser printer to the
UPS, as its power demand is much higher than typical peripherals and may cause the circuit
breaker (or fuse) to trip.
2.3 Connect the telephone
If you wish to protect a fax or a modem, connect the telephone cable from the wall outlet to
the “IN” jack on the UPS. Connect the telephone cable (provided) from the “OUT” jack to
the fax or modem. To protect a 10/100Base-T (UTP) network interface, obtain and use a
UTP cable to connect the “OUT” jack from the UPS to your computer.
2.4 Connect to the utility power
Plug UPS to a 2-pole, 3-wire grounding receptacle. Make sure the battery supply outlets of
the UPS do not service equipment requiring heavy electrical power
(e.g. refrigerator, air conditioner, copier, etc.).
ATTENTION:
When using extension cords, make sure the total rating of the loads is
suitable.
2.5 UPS self-test
UPS will conduct a self-test each time it is turned on. In addition, the UPS will conduct a
self-test by switching the UPS on for a second when a load is connected to UPS and utility
power is normal.
2.6 Battery auto-charging
The internal battery is charged automatically when the utility power is normal.
2.7 Auto restart feature
UPS will shutdown when the battery voltage is too low, and reactivate automatically when
the utility power is normal.
2.8 Overload (continuous alarm)
When the UPS is working under overload condition (the connected loads exceed the
maximum rated capacity), the UPS will emit a continuous alarm to warn of the overload
condition. In order to protect the unit and the loads, the UPS will automatically turn off.
Please disconnect any non-essential devices form the UPS to eliminate the overload alarm.
2.9 Optimal battery status
To maintain the optimal battery status, leave UPS plugged in and switched on at all times.
