Belkin F5C510, F5C520 User Manual

Setting up your ReSource

1. Plug ReSource®into a 3-prong grounded outlet. If the “Wiring OK” light does not light up please refer to the “Wiring OK” section below.

2. Plug your PC power supply and monitor power supply to the outlets marked “Instant Back Up Power Supplied”. Plug in any other devices that may require back up power in case of a utility power outage (e.g., external storage drive, or tape backup, external modem.)

3. Printers and other peripherals that are not crucial to battery back-up, but still need maximum surge protection should be plugged into the four remaining outlets that are opposite the Instant Back Up Power Supplied outlets. These outlets have full surge protection but are not powered by the battery during utility power outages.

4. The ReSource

comes with Solid State Phone/Fax/Modem surge protection. Instead of running a connection directly from your Phone/Fax/Modem

to the wall jack, you must pass the connection through the protected jacks on your ReSource

. Connect your phone/fax/modem line from your wall

outlet to the “Input” jack on ReSource

. Connect the 6-foot phone cord provided with ReSource®into the “Output” jack, and connect the other end of the phone cord to the Phone/Fax/Modem jack of the device you want to protect. If you fail to connect the Phone/Fax/Modem protection your connected equipment will not be covered by the Connected Equipment Warranty. Most modem damage can be prevented if you take the time to connect the Phone/Fax/Modem protection.

5. The ReSource

also comes with 10Base-T Network protection. Instead of running a connection directly from your network wall jack to your PC, you

must pass the connection through the protected jacks on your ReSource

. Connect your RJ45 Network line (Category 5 cable) from your wall outlet

to the "Input" jack on ReSource

. Connect the 5 foot long CAT 5 patch cable provided into the “Output” jack on ReSource®, and connect the other

end to the Network connection on the back of your PC. If you fail to connect the Network protection when using ReSource

with a Network

your connected equipment will not be covered by the Connected Equipment Warranty.

6*. Connect the RS232 cable to the ReSource

and your PC to utilize the shutdown software. (See: Installing Shutdown Software)

7. Switch on your ReSource

- the “Powered” light will come on. It will stay on as long as the switch remains on and power is supplied to the unit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• This manual contains important instructions for Model F5C500, F5C510 and F5C520 that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Please save this instruction manual.

• The unit is intended for installation in a temperature-controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants.

• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20 amperes maximum branch circuit overcurrent protection in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

• Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

Indicators and what they mean

1. Check Battery Indicator - This indicator lights when ReSource®has detected a weak or worn out battery during the self-test

which occurs every time the ReSource®is powered on by the master switch. If this indicator lights, you should:

• Let the ReSource

charge for at least 12 hours. ReSource®must be plugged in and switched on ("Powered” light must be on)

for the battery to charge.

• Retest the battery by turning the switch off and then on again. The unit will run a 7-second self-test to determine the strength of the battery.

• If the “Check Battery” light stays on at the completion of the self-test, the battery must be replaced. Contact your Belkin sales representative for information and obtaining a replacement battery.

Battery Part # F5C500-B, # F5C510-B, # F5C520-B

2. Surge Protected Indicator - This indicator shows the status of your surge protection circuitry. This indicator lights when your

ReSource®has full surge protection. If this light is not on, the unit has absorbed a power surge and needs to be replaced. Please contact Belkin Components for a replacement.

3. Wiring OK Indicator - This indicator lights when there is a good ground circuit and correct polarity in the building wiring. If

this light does not come on you should consult an electrician to examine the building wiring. Connecting a Belkin ReSource®to an

improperly grounded outlet will void all Belkin Components warranties. Do not attempt to use a “3 prong to 2 prong with ground screw adapter” to bypass the ground pin as this will void all Belkin Components warranties as well.

Installing Shutdown Software

Shutdown Software - This software closes all open files and saves them during a power failure. The software is also installation friendly. To install:

• Charge ReSource

2-4 hours before installing software.

• Connect RS232 cable to PC.

• Turn on ReSource®and boot up your computer.

• Insert RUPS CD into CD drive.

• Wait for (RUPS for Windows®95/98 Setup) to appear on screen.

• Follow installation commands.

Note: If (Connection error! Please check UPS cable, then restart Windows) appears on screen, check RS232 cable to see whether it is connected securely and properly.

Other Features

1. 15 amp Circuit Breaker - Located above the main power switch and recessed for safety. If ReSource®is overloaded it will

trigger this circuit breaker and disconnect power. To restore power simply unplug one piece of equipment and push the circuit breaker button in. Your ReSource®should stay powered. If not, consult the Amperage ratings on the connected devices and confirm that they do not exceed 15 amps total. Usually computers are 1-4 amps, fax machines 1-3, and most devices are below 2. You should not have a problem plugging in all your devices.

10Base-T Network Protection - Protects against surges coming through the network RJ45 line and damaging your

computer. ReSource®will protect 10Base-T lines. A 5 ft. CAT 5 cable is included.

3. Solid State Phone/Fax/Modem Protection - Maximum protection for your RJ11 line. ReSource®uses a solid-state-sidactor

which provides maximum protection with twice the clamping speed of an MOV. A6 ft. phone cord is included.

4. Full Time Surge Suppression - ReSource®provides 1260 Joules of 3 line AC surge protection on all 8 outlets. Surge

protection is always there, even if the main power is switched off.

5. Instant Back-Up Power Supply - 4 outlets are labeled as back-up power supply. These outlets will receive 120 volts of

power when battery is in use. Do not plug any devices into these outlets that are not critical when utility power is cut. The more devices powered by the battery, the shorter the back-up time. If possible, only plug your monitor and PC into these outlets and save the rest for emergencies.

ReSource®will not stay powered long enough to save and close.

“Wiring OK” light is out.

ReSource

battery back-up reacts to undervoltages constantly and beeps three to four times a day.

ReSource®is turned on and it beeps continuously.

1. Battery is weak.

2. Too many devices plugged into instant battery back-up outlets.

1. Outlet that ReSource

is plugged into is not properly grounded or has polarity crossed.

1. The voltage in the building is bad, or there is a heavy load on the outlet ReSource

is connected to.

1. Battery is weak.

1. Recharge battery for 12 hours.

2. Unplug unnecessary devices from battery back-up outlets.

1. Try another outlet in the area, if results are the same, call an electrician to check the wiring of the building.

1. Plug ReSource

into an outlet that does not have a heavy load (heavy load means an air conditioner or a refrigerator are on the same circuit as that outlet). Have an electrician check to see if your power supply is bad, if so, a line conditioner may be required.

1. Turn off ReSource

for a minimum

of 30 minutes to recharge battery.
