IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS !

Please read this manual before installing your PRO Rack/Tower Series UPS,
models PRO1000RT, PRO1500RT as it provides important information that
should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batter­ies allowing you to correctly set up your system for the maximum safety and
performance. Included is information on customer support and factory service
if it is required. If you experience a problem with the UPS please refer to the
Troubleshooting guide in this manual to correct the problem or collect enough
information so that the Technical Support Department can rapidly assist you.

CAUTION! Connect the UPS to a two pole, three wire grounding

AC wall outlet. The receptacle must be connected to the appropriate
branch protection (circuit breaker or fuse). Connection to any other
type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard and violate local
electrical codes. Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs, or surge
strips.

CAUTION! To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit

provided with 20 amperes maximum branch circuit over-current pro­tection in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA

70.

CAUTION! T o reduce the risk of electrical shock with the installa-

tion of this UPS equipment and the connected equipment, the user
must ensure that the combined sum of the AC leakage current does
not exceed 3.5mA.

CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electrical shock in conditions

where the load equipment grounding cannot be verified, disconnect
the UPS from the AC wall outlet before inst alling a computer interface
cable. Reconnect the power cord only after all signaling connections
are made.

WARNING: This Uninterruptible Power Supply contains potentially

hazardous voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble the UPS beyond
the battery replacement procedure. This UPS contains no user ser­viceable parts. Repairs and Battery replacement must be performed
by QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONL Y.

WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock. Hazardous live p arts inside

these power supplies are energized from the battery even when the

This symbol indicates "Alternating Current Supply Phase"

AC input is disconnected.

CAUTION! T o de-energize the outputs of the UPS:

1. If the UPS is on press and release the On/Off/Test Button.

2. Disconnect the UPS from the AC wall outlet.

3. T o de-energize the UPS completely, disconnect the battery .

CAUTION! This UPS series is only intended to be install in an

indoor temperature controlled environment that is free of conductive
contaminants.

CAUTION! The Maximum ambient operating temperature for this

UPS series is 40°C (“0 ~ 40°C” for Ambient Operation).

ON / OFF / TEST BUTTON: To turn the UPS on: press and hold the
On/Off/T est Button until the alarm sounds one beep and then release.
The UPS will perform a five second self-test. Once the UPS has
passed its self-test the UPS will provide an output and the load will be
powered. T o turn the UPS off: press and hold the On/Of f/T est Button
until the alarm sounds one beep and then release. T o perform a ten­second battery test: With the UPS in the AC mode, press and hold
the On/Off/Test Button until the alarm sounds four beeps, and then
release. During the test, the UPS will switch to the Battery mode, the
On-Battery icon will illuminate and the alarm will sound.

Receiving Inspection

After removing your UPS from its carton, it should be inspected for damage that
may have occurred in shipping. Immediately notify the carrier and place of
purchase if any damage is found. Warranty claims for damage caused by the
carrier will not be honored. The packing materials that your UPS was shipped
in are carefully designed to minimize any shipping damage. In the unlikely
case that the UPS needs to be returned to the manufacturer, please use the
original packing material. Since the manufacturer is not responsible for ship­ping damage incurred when the system is returned, the original packing mate­rial is inexpensive insurance. PLEASE SA VE THE P ACKING MA TERIALS!

NOTICE! The output of this device is not sinusoidal. It has a total

harmonic distortion and maximum single harmonic as below:
PRO1000RT Total harmonic 57.2% Single harmonic 46.1%
PRO1500RT Total harmonic 42.8% Single harmonic 26.6%

NOTICE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Sub­part J of Part 15 of FCC Rules and the Class B limits for radio noise emissions
from digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference of the Canadian Depart­ment of Communications. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference in a residential installation. This equip­ment generates and uses radio frequency and if not installed and used properly ,
that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, this equip­ment may cause interference to radio and television reception. If this equip­ment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Re-orient the receiving antenna.
 Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
 Move the computer away from the receiver.
 Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and receiver

are on different branch circuits.

 Shielded communications interface cables must be used with this product.

WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly ap-

proved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: These UPSs are shipped with the batteries disconnected. The batter-

ies must be connected before putting these UPSs into service. Refer to Sec­tion 3 "Installation" for connecting the batteries.

Life Support Policy

As a general policy , we do not recommend the use of any of our products in life
support applications where failure or malfunction of the product can be reason­ably expected to cause failure of the life support device or to significantly affect
its safety or effectiveness. We do not recommend the use of any of our prod­ucts in direct patient care. We will not knowingly sell our products for use in
such applications unless it receives in writing assurances satisfactory to us
that (a) the risks of injury or damage have been minimized, (b) the customer
assumes all such risks, and (c) our liability is adequately protected under the
circumstances.

Examples of devices considered to be life support devices are neonatal oxygen
analyzers, nerve stimulators (whether used for anesthesia, pain relief, or other
purposes), auto transfusion devices, blood pumps, defibrillators, arrhythmia
detectors and alarms, pacemakers, hemodialysis systems, peritoneal dialysis
systems, neonatal ventilator incubators, ventilators for both adults and infants,
anesthesia ventilators, and infusion pumps as well as any other devices desig­nated as “critical” by the United St ates FDA.

Hospital grade wiring devices and leakage current may be ordered as options
on many of our UPS systems. We do not claim that units with this modification
are certified or listed as Hospital Grade by us or any other organization. There­fore, these units do not meet the requirements for use in direct patient care.

INST ALLATION PLACEMENT

This UPS series is only intended to be install in an indoor temperature con­trolled environment that is free of conductive contaminants. DO NOT operate
the UPS in: extremely dusty and/or unclean areas, locations near heating de­vices, water or excessive humidity, or where the UPS is exposed to direct
sunlight. Select a location, which will provide good air circulation for the UPS at
all times. Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged. Typi­cal battery life is 3 to 5 years. Environmental factors do affect battery life. High
temperatures, poor utility power, and frequent, short duration discharges have a
negative impact on battery life.
