IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS): This manual
contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and
maintenance of the UPS and batteries.
The unit is intended for installation in a temperature-controlled, indoor area free
of conductive contaminants.
Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized
personnel away from batteries.
When replacing battery, replace with the same number and type.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of battery or batteries in a fire, the battery may
explode.
CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released
electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electric shock and high short
circuit current. The following precaution should be obser ve d when working on
batteries:
Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
Use tools with insulated handles.
Wear rubber gloves and boots.
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery

Introduction
Please read and save this manual !
Thank you for selecting this uninterruptible power system (UPS). It provides you with a
perfect protection for connected equipment. The 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.
1. Presentation
The UPS is a line interactive uninterruptible power system (UPS). When utility input is
normal, the UPS would provide surge protection and energy to charge the internal battery. If
the utility input is abnormal, the UPS can supply AC power to the load immediately.
(1). Utilizes microprocessor based controls, it will minimizes the dependency on hardware.
Beside this, it maximizes system flexibility and optimizes the assurance of reliability.
(2). Automatic frequency selection to match with utility power.
(3). Hi level battery charger to prolong battery’s life and fully charge the battery.
(4). With actual overload protection both in line and battery mode.

2. Installation
2.1 Inspection
Inspect the UPS upon receipt. The packaging is recyclable; save it for reuse or dispose of it
properly.
2.2 Utility Power
The input power cord on the rear panel needs to plug into a socket on the wall. Please notice
the voltage of utility power should match with the UPS. (For example, the UPS is 220V, the
input utility power should be 220V as well.)
2.3 Connection
The employed equipment’s power cords (such as computer) are plugged into the sockets on
the rear panel.
3. Operation
3.1 Switch on with “Green Mode” Function under AC mode
When utility input is connected to the UPS, press “ON” button and keep pressing less than 3
sec to turn on the UPS. After that, connect the electrical cords of the equipments that will be
used (such as desktop computer and CRT monitor) to the rear panel of UPS. In order to save
the power, it will also automatically enable the “Green mode” - No Load (or Light load)

shut-down function under backup mode (about 4 minutes later).
ATTENTION: At backup mode, UPS can be automatically turned off if none of
the connected loads is operating. (Green mode; No Load shut down function) Once
the utility power is normal again, the unit can be waked up by itself.
CAUTION: Never connect a laser printer or plotter to the UPS with other
computer equipment. A laser printer or plotter periodically draws significantly more
power than when its idle status, and may overload the UPS.
3.2 Switch on with “Disabled Green Mode” Function under AC mode
When utility input is connected to the UPS, press “ON” button and keep pressing until
the ”Bi...Bi-Bi” beeps stopped to turn on the UPS. After that, connect the electrical cords of
the equipments that will be used (such as Notebook computer and LCD monitor) to the rear
panel of UPS. If the load is lighter than 15W, please also refer this function to avoid any
inconvenience cause by “Green Mode” function.
3.3 DC Start with “Green Mode” Function
If the power of UPS isn't supplied by utility but by the internal batteries to engage the UPS,
press the power button and keep pressing less then 3 seconds.
3.4 DC Start with “Disabled Green Mode” Function
If the power of UPS isn't supplied by utility but by the internal batteries to engage the UPS,
press the power button and keep pressing until the sounds of “Bi Bi-Bi”.
3.5 Switch off
Press the power switch and keep pressing more than 3 seconds to turn off the UPS.
3.6 Silence
When UPS is under “BACKUP” mode, press power switch more than 1 second to silence
the audible alarm. (The function is disable when UPS is under condition of “LOW
BATTERY” or “OVERLOAD”)
3.7 Self test function
Press power switch while utility power is connected, UPS will perform self-test procedure
automatically.
4. Alarm
4.1 “BACKUP” (slow alarm)
When the UPS is working under “BACKUP” mode, the UPS would emit audible alarm. The
alarm stops when the UPS is return to “LINE” mode operation.
ATTENTION: The alarm of “BACKUP” is going to beep every 2 seconds.
(Slow-speed beep).
5
ATTENTION: The UPS provides mute function for the warning. When the
beeping sound occurs, press "ON" to stop it; and press "ON" again to regain the
sound.
4.2 “LOW BATTERY” (rapid alarm)
In the “BACKUP” mode, when the energy of battery becomes to lower level. (about
20%~30%) The UPS beeps rapidly until the UPS shuts down from battery exhaustion or
returns to “LINE” mode operation.
ATTENTION: The alarm of the batteries caused by low voltage beeps every
0.5 second.
ATTENTION: The rapid alarm under “LOW BATTERY” condition cannot be
muted.
4.3 “OVER LOAD” (continuous alarm)
When the UPS is working under overload condition (the connected loads exceed the
maximum rated capacity), the UPS will emit continuous alarm to warn an overload condition.
In order to protect the unit and the loads, the UPS will be automatically turn off. Please
disconnect nonessential devices from UPS to eliminate the overload alarm.
5. Software and Interface Port (Option)
5.1 Power Monitoring Software
The UPSMON series software (or other power monitoring software) is applied 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, Battery level and so on. The software is
available for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP,
Windows 2003, Windows NT 4.0 or later, Novell Netware, Linux, and others. Call your
dealer for more information on computer OS compatible solutions.
5.2 Interface Kits
A series of interface kits is available for operation systems that provide UPS monitoring.
Each interface kit includes the special interface cable required to convert status signals from
the UPS into signals which individual operating system recognizes. The interface cable at
UPS side must be connected to REMOTE PORT, at computer side can be either COM 1 or
COM 2. The other installation instructions and powerful features please refe r to READ.ME
file.
5.3 The characteristics of computer interface port
The computer interface port has the following characteristics:
The communication port on the back of the UPS may be connected to 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:
Page 4

To broadcast a warning when power fails.
To close any open file before the battery is exhausted.
To turn-off the UPS.
Some computers are equipped with a special connector to link with the communication port.
In addition, special plug-in cord may be needed. Some computers may need special UPS
monitoring software. Contact your dealer for the details on the various interface Kits.
ATTENTION: UPSMON software and interface port function just available for
model name with “P” affix. The standard RS-232 cable (pin to pin D-SUB 9 pin
cable) can be connected between UPS REMOTE PORT and computer COM port
for the UPSMON series software.
UPSMON software can be free download from http:// www. pcmups .com.tw
