ALARMS

Battery BACK UP (Slow Alarm)

When in the UPS is in battery BACK-UP mode, the On Battery (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 output is shorted, the UPS emits a 10 seconds continuous
alarm to warn of a short condition. Disconnect the equipment from the
UPS prior to checking the equipment.

INTERNET/PHONE/FAX/DSL/NETWORK PROTECTION

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

INTERFACE PORTS

The UPS provides both a USB and RS232 port for you use with your
computer. NOTE: Choose one port only.

BATTERY BACK UP OUTLETs

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).

SURGE-ONLY PROTECTED OUTLETS

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.

AC INPUT BREAKER (CIRCUIT BREAKER)

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.

SITE WIRING FAULT INDICATOR

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

System Requirements

The UPS can be used without the software and can be used with any
computer using upto a 21” monitor or a flat panel screen. Also, you do not
have to have the software installed to utilize the battery backup outlets.

To fully utilize the UPS and its software, your computer must be able to
operate the following operating systems: 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP & Novell

3.X & Higher and have a Serial or USB port.

Installation

Note!

Before installation, please inspect the UPS Upon receipt.
Make sure that the UPS is not damaged.

Connect to AC Utility Power

Connect the AC inlet to utility power via the power cord.
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 6 hours prior to initial use. The
UPS must be turned on to charge. The UPS charges its battery
whenever it is connected to the utility power. Should you see the red
battery light come on, the battery may need immediate charging.

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 3 seconds until the “ON LINE” Green comes on. The

UPS will perform a self-test each time the UPS is switched on.

Note! The UPS maintains the battery charge when in the off
position and will respond to commands received through the
computer interface port.

Turning off the UPS

Turn off the UPS by pressing and holding the On/Off/Test button for
more than 3 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 2 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 on- battery
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 2
seconds to silence the audible alarm. (This does not work if the UPS is
under LOW BATTERY or OVERLOAD condition.

All equipment must be turned off prior to hardware installation.

Connect the phone/fax/modem/network lines

Connect a single Internet/ phone/ fax/ DSL/network line into the surge­protected sockets on the back of the UPS. The RJ-11/RJ-45 modular
sockets accepts standard single line telephone connections. The
connection will require another length of telephone cable, which is
supplied.

Telephone
Socket

Phone

Modem/ Fax

Note! This connection is optional but highly suggested as Internet/

phone/ fax/modem/ DSL/network lines often carry dangerous surges
and spikes. The UPS works properly without a phone/ fax/ modem /
DSL connection.
Caution! The Internet/ phone/ fax/modem/ DSL/network protection
feature could be rendered inoperable if improperly installed. Make sure
that the telephone line from the wall is plugged into the connector
marked “IN”, and the device to be protected is plugged into the connect
or marked “ OUT”.

Serial or USB Communication Port (Installation Optional)

To fully utilize the Bulldog Shutdown Software; you will need to connect
the UPS to your computer.

The communication port will provide the following features:

1. Monitoring charger status

2. Monitoring UPS status

3. Monitoring battery status and condition

4. Monitoring the utility status

5. Use the ON/OFF/TEST UPS power switch function to schedule

6. UPS for power saving
You may connect the UPS to your computer by choosing either the

Serial or USB ports. Note: Choose one port only. Do not connect

your computer through both ports.
