Installation and Initial Start-Up
To obtain warranty coverage, please fill out and
return the warranty registration card now.
Inspection
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier
and dealer if there is damage. The packaging is
recyclable; save it for reuse or dispose of it
properly.
Placement
Install the UPS in a protected area that is free of
excessive dust and has adequate air flow. Do
not operate the UPS where the temperature and
humidity is outside the specified limits.
Warning: Changes or modifications to this
unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
warranty.
Connect to Utility
User’s Manual
Check the Site Wiring Fault Indicator
Location: Top right corner of UPS back panel.
Caution: If the site wiring fault indicator lights,
get a qualified electrician to correct the building
wiring.
Connect the Loads
Plug the loads into the output connectors on the
rear of the UPS. To use the UPS as a master
“On/Off” switch, make sure that all of the loads
are switched “On”.
Caution: Do not connect a laser
printer to the Battery Backup Outlets.
Connect Telephone / Network Surge
Suppression (Optional)
Connect a single line telephone or a 10Base-T/
100Base-Tx network cable into the RJ-45/RJ-11
telephone/network surge protection “IN” jack on
the back of the UPS. Connect from the “OUT”
jack with telephone cable (supplied) or network
cabling (not supplied) to a fax modem or network
port.
Connect Computer Interface
Port (Optional, BP1050/1100)
PowerChute® plus power management software
is included with this UPS. Connect the supplied
interface cable to the 9-pin computer interface
port on the back panel of the UPS. Connect to
the computer. See software documentation for
installation instructions.
is connected to utility power. The battery will
charge fully during the first 4 hours of normal
operation. Do not expect full runtime during this
initial charge period.
Charge the battery
The UPS charges its battery whenever it
Operating Instructions
Switch “On” — Switch “Off”
With the UPS plugged in, press and
release the On/Off/Test button to supply
power to the loads.
The UPS loads are immediately powered while
the UPS performs a self-test. Press and release
the button again to turn “Off” power to the loads.
It may be convenient to use the UPS as a
master “On/Off” switch for the protected
equipment.
The on-line LED illuminates when the
UPS is supplying utility power to the
battery backup loads.
Self-test
The UPS performs a self-test automatically when
turned “On”, and every two weeks thereafter (by
default). Automatic self-test eliminates the need
for periodic manual self-tests.
During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the
loads on-battery. If the UPS passes the self-test,
it returns to on-line operation.
If the UPS fails the self-test it
immediately returns to on-line operation
and lights the replace battery LED.
Battery Backup Outlets: These UPS outlets
provide battery power and surge protection to
equipment when utility voltage is outside
acceptable limits. Data sensitive equipment such
as a computer, monitor, or external drive are
connected to these outlets.
The loads are not affected by a failed test.
Recharge the battery overnight and perform the
self-test again. If the replace battery LED is still
"On”, replace the battery using the Replacing
the Battery procedure.
On-Battery
During on-battery operation, the onbattery LED illuminates and the UPS
sounds an audible alarm consisting of 4
beeps every 30 seconds. The alarm stops when
the UPS returns to on-line operation.
Low Battery
When the UPS is operating on-battery and the
energy reserve of the battery runs low, the UPS
beeps continuously until the UPS shuts down
from battery exhaustion or returns to on-line
operation.
Overload
When loads exceed the UPS capacity,
the overload LED illuminates and the
UPS emits a sustained tone. The alarm
remains “On” until the overload is removed.
Disconnect nonessential load equipment from
the battery backup outlets, to eliminate the
overload.
If the overload is severe, the input circuit breaker
may trip (the resettable center plunger of the
circuit breaker pops out), as well. Disconnect
nonessential load equipment from the UPS to
eliminate the overload and press the plunger
back in to restart the UPS.
If there is AC power and the circuit breaker does
not trip during overload, the loads are still
powered. If the circuit breaker trips or the UPS
attempts to transfer to battery, the loads’ power
will be shut “Off”. Turn the UPS “Off” then back
“On” to power the loads.
Replace Battery
If the battery fails a self-test, the UPS
emits short beeps for one minute and
the replace battery LED illuminates.
The UPS repeats the alarm every five hours.
Perform the self-test procedure to confirm
replace battery conditions. The alarm stops
when the battery passes the self-test.
Shutdown Mode
If there is no power, the host connected to the
computer interface port can command the UPS
to shut down. This is normally done to preserve
battery capacity after a controlled shutdown of
the protected system. In shutdown mode the
UPS stops supplying power to the load. The online and overload LED indicators flash alternately
or, if the UPS has shutdown due to a low battery,
the UPS will beep once every 4 seconds for
approximately 16 seconds. When line power is
restored, the UPS will return to on-line operation.
Cold Start
Note: Cold start is not a normal operating
condition.
When the UPS is “Off” and there is no utility
power, it is possible to cold start the UPS to
power the loads from the UPS battery.
• Press and hold the On/Off/Test button
until the UPS begins beeping.
• Release the On/Off/Test button during the
beeping to start the UPS.

Replacing the Battery
This UPS has an easy to replac e hot-swappable battery. Battery replacement is a safe
procedure, isolated from el ectrical hazards. You may l eave the UPS and loads on for the
following procedure. See your dealer or call the number in this manual for information on
replacement battery ki ts.
