INTRODUCTION

Please read and save this manual!

Thank you for selecting the Furman SB-1000 or

SB-1000E uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

This manual is a guide to install and use the

UPS. It includes important safety instructions
for operation and correct installation of the
UPS. If you should have any problems with the
UPS, please refer to this manual before calling
customer service.

Please save the packaging materials! The
UPS‘s shipping materials are designed to
provide protection during delivery. These
materials are invaluable if you ever have to
return the UPS for service. Damage during
transit is not covered under the warranty.

Intelligent Microprocessor Control

The UPS is a microprocessor-controlled unit.
The SB-1000 provides reliable power during

AC swells, sags and interference.

Furthermore, in order to save the battery
energy, the UPS will automatically turn off
under backup mode if none of the connected
equipment is activated.

Advanced Battery Management

The UPS conveys its battery’s status with the

use of visual and audible indicators located
internally and on its front panel. Its self-test
function (which occurs when the unit is
activated) detects a weak battery before it is
put into service.

S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N

● SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This
manual contains important instructions
that should be followed during installation
and maintenance of the UPS and
batteries.

● Servicing of the UPS and/or

replacement of the batteries should
be performed by authorized Furman
service professionals only.

INSTA L L ATION

Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Any damage
to the packaging or unit is not covered under
warranty. Contact your parcel carrier.

1) Recharge the batteries

The UPS may be used immediately upon

receipt. Recharging the batteries at least eight
hours before using the UPS is recommended.
Energy loss may occur during shipping or
storage. To recharge the battery, simply plug
the UPS into an AC outlet. Once the power
cord is connected, the UPS batteries will
automatically start charging.

2) Connect the loads

Plug your primary equipment into the battery
power-supplied outlets UPS 1 and UPS 2 .
Plug your peripheral equipment to the bypass
outlet. Do not plug high-current equipment
such as power amplifiers, projectors, and large
mixing consols into the UPS 1 or 2 outlets, as
they may cause the circuit breaker to trip. It is
recommended that heavy loads be connected
to the bypass outlet.

3) Connect the telephone

If you wish to protect a fax or modem, connect
the telephone cable from the wall outlet to
the “IN” jack. Connect the telephone cable

(provided) from the “OUT” jack to the fax

or modem. These ports are not for network
protection.

4) Connect to the utility power

Plug the UPS to a grounded AC receptacle.

Avoid using extension cords. If used, make
sure they are rated for at least 15 amps.

5) UPS self-test

The UPS will conduct a self-test each time it

is switched on. Do not add or remove any
equipment while the UPS conducts this self­test; wait until the Power indicator lights up,
once completed, switch on your equipment.

6) Overload protection

If an overload situation (more than 5 amps

load) is detected during self-test, the UPS
audible alarm will activate, emitting a long
beep and then will automatically shut down
the system. If this occurs, unplug at least one
piece of equipment from the battery supplied
outlets. Switch off the UPS, wait 5 seconds
and check to make sure the circuit breaker is
set, then switch it on again.

7) Optimal battery status

To maintain the optimal status of the battery,

leave the UPS plugged in at all times.

8) Self-protection feature

The UPS is equipped with a self-protection

feature which prevents people from tampering
with the unit and subsequently damaging it. It
is programmed so that once it is switched off,
the user must wait 5 seconds before switching
it on again.

9) Storage

Cover and store the UPS with the battery fully
charged. During extended storage, recharge
the batteries every three months to ensure
battery life.

OPERAT I O N

1) Operation check

It is recommended that the user perform a
simulation test when using the UPS for the
first time or when adding an additional piece
of equipment. Conduct a simulation-test: first,
switch on the UPS and wait for the power
indicator to light up, then simply unplug the
UPS to simulate a utility failure.

2) Check the power requirement of your
equipment

A. Make sure the total power of your equipment

does not exceed rating capacity. (600W /

1000VA)

B. Also make sure the equipment you plugged
into the Battery Power-Supplied outlets does
not require total power exceeding the capacity
of the UPS (600W / 1000VA). Otherwise,
overload may occur and cause the circuit
breaker to trip.

3) Limited rating power of UPS

When a utility failure occurs, the UPS output

outlets will supply power to your equipment
from its battery, and the alarm will beep every
5 seconds. Be sure that your equipment is
running under the limited rating power. Plug
the UPS back into the existing power source.
Repeat the test a few times to make sure the
UPS works properly and to determine the
expected runtime.

SOFTWARE & COMPUTER
INTERFA C E

1) Power Monitoring Software

The UPSMON series software acts as

a standard RS-232 interface to perform
monitoring functions, and then provides an
orderly shutdown of a computer in the event
of power failure. Moreover, UPSMON displays
all the diagnostic symptoms on monitor, such
as Voltage, Frequency, and Battery level, etc.

The software is available for DOS, Windows

3.1x, Windows 95/97/2000/ME/XP, Windows
NT or later, Novell Netware.

2) Characteristics of the computer
interface port

The computer interface port has the following

characteristics:

The communication port on the back of the

UPS may be connected to the host computer.

This port allows the computer to monitor the

status of the UPS and control the operation of
the UPS, in some cases. Its major functions
normally include some or all of the following:

• To broadcast a warning when power
fails

• To close any open file before the
batteries are exhausted

• To turn-off the UPS

BAT T E RY C A B I N E T

1) Battery life of the UPS

The battery life of the UPS is about 3-6 years

under normal usage.

2) Battery Replacement

Once the UPS’s batteries is no longer useful,

it must be replaced. Please contact Furman
service personnel for replacement (see service
section).
