Connect Equipment

Battery Backup +

Battery Backup + Surge Protection Outlets

Battery backup outlets provide protection to connected equipment when the Back-UPS is turned on and connected to utility power.
Battery backup outlets receive power from the Back-UPS for a limited period of time when a power outage, or brownout condition occurs.
Battery backup outlets provide protection from power surges or spikes. Connect a computer, monitor and other peripheral devices to the outlets.

Surge Protection Outlets

Surge protection outlets provide protection to connected equipment when the Back-UPS is connected to utility power, and is switched on or off.
Surge protection outlets provide protection from power surges or spikes. Connect a printer, scanner or other peripheral devices that do not need to remain on
during power outages, or utility problems to the surge protection outlets.

Connect Network

CAUTION-Refer to bottom of unit for safety markings.
The Back-UPS protects equipment connected to a 10/100 Base-T ethernet, from power surges when connected through the Back-UPS coaxial connectors.

indicate that the Back-UPS is providing protection for connected equipment. The Back-UPS battery charges fully during the first 16 hours while connected to
utility power. The Back-UPS battery will charge while the Back-UPS is switched on or off and is connected to utility power. Do not expect full battery run capability during the initial charge time.
If the red Building Wiring Fau lt LED located on the side of the Back-UPS illuminates, do not operate the Back-UPS. Have a qualified electrician correct the building wiring fault.
Connect the battery cable secur ely to the battery terminal.
Reinstall the battery compartment cover. Be su re tha t the release tab locks into place.

The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery backup power to protect connected equipment. In situations where either the Back­UPS or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage level it is necessary to adjust the transfer voltage.
1. Connect the Back-UPS to a wall outlet. The Back-UPS will be in Standby mode,
no indicators will be illuminated.
2. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 10 seconds. The OnLine LED will
illuminate alternately green-amber-red, to indicate that the Back-UPS is in Program mode.
3. The Power On/Replace Battery LED will flash either green, amber, or red to
indicate the current sensitivity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.
4. To select LOW sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes green.
5. To se lect MEDIUM sen sitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes red.
6. To select HIGH sensitivity, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the LED flashes amber.
7. To exit Program mode wait five seconds and all LED indicators will extinguish.
Program mode is no longer active.
