be lit continuously, and
the unit will sound an
audible alarm for 10
seconds.

2. Battery is weak or bad;

Battery output is drawing
more power than the UPS
can provide.

There is either no ground
circuit or a reversed
polarity in the building
wiring.

ALARMS

BATTERY BACK UP (Slow Alarm)

(Yellow LED) illuminates and the UPS sounds an audible alarm. The
alarm stops when the UPS returns to normal ON LINE operation.

LOW BATTERY (Rapid Alarm)

When the UPS is in battery BACK-UP mode and the battery energy
begins to run low, the UPS will beep rapidly until it shuts down from
a depleted battery or returns to ON LINE normal operation.

OVERLOAD (Continuous alarm)

When the UPS is overloaded (the connected loads exceed the
maximum rated capacity), the UPS emits a continuous alarm to
warn of an overload condition. Disconnect nonessential equipment.
from the UPS to eliminate the overload.

FAULT (10 Seconds Continuously)

When the UPS occur fault, the UPS emits a 10 seconds continuous
alarm to warn of a fault condition. Disconnect the equipment from

Note!

Before installation, please inspect the UPS Upon

Connect to AC Utility Power

Connect the AC inlet to utility power via the power cord.

Surge Protection Only

Battery Back-up + Surge Protection

Equipment such as a printer, fax machine, scanner, or a desk
lamp can be plugged into these outlets. These outlets do not
provide power during a power outage. These outlets are always
on (when AC power is available) & are not controlled by the
front panel switch.

Only data sensitive equipment such as a computer, monitor and
external drive should be plugged into these outlets. Battery
power is automatically provided in case of a power outage.
Power (AC or battery) is not supplied to these outlets when the
UPS is switched off. (Do not plug surge protectors or power
strips into the battery back up outlets).

The phone/fax/modem lines are surge protected and provide
complete safety for line connection.

The UPS provides a USB port for you use with your computer.

The circuit breaker button will be triggered if an overload
condition forces the UPS to disconnect itself from utility power.
If the button sticks out, disconnect nonessential equipment and
depress breaker.

The Site Wiring Fault LED will illuminate when one of the
following conditions exist:

1. Open or high-resistance ground

2. Hot and neutral polarity reversal

3. Overloaded neutral circuit

(Only F6B750-AVR)

Check whether the Site Wiring Fault indicator is lit or not.
If so, please check the utility wiring.

Charging the Battery

For best results, charge the battery for 8 hours prior to initial use.

The UPS charges its battery whenever it is connected to the
utility power.

Plug in Power Devices

Plug your devices into the AC outlets on the top of the UPS. To
use the UPS as a master on/off switch, make sure all of the
loads are switched on.

Caution: Never connect a laser printer or
scanner to the backup outlets of UPS with
other computer equipment. A laser printer
or scanner draws significantly more power
when in use than when idle. This may
overload the UPS.

Turning on the UPS

Turn on your UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test
button for approximately 2 seconds until the “ON LINE” Green
comes on.

Turning off the UPS
Turn off the UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test
button for more than 2 seconds until the “ON LINE” or “ON
BATTERY” LED goes off.

To Conduct a Self Test

Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the UPS and
the condition of the battery. In normal utility power, push the
On/Off/Test button less than 1.5 seconds and the UPS
performs a self-test function. During the self-test, the UPS
operates in back-up mode.

Note! During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates on­battery backup power (the on-battery LED comes on). 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. The loads are not affected. Recharge the battery
overnight and perform the self- test again. If the replace
battery LED is still on, the battery will need to be
replaced.

To Silence Audible Alarm

While in battery BACK-UP mode, push on/off/test button less
than 1.5 seconds to silence the audible alarm. (This does not
work if the UPS is under LOW BATTERY or OVERLOAD

telephone line from the wall is plugged into the connector
marked “IN”, and the device to be protected is plugged into the
