3. Preparation for operation

3-1 Charging the battery

When you connect the 100 VAC input plug of this unit to a wall outlet (commercial power), the battery charging automatically starts regardless of the on/off state of the Power Switch, and it is fully charged within 12 hours.

● This unit has been charged prior to shipment. However, the backup time becomes shorter when using it for the first time due to spontaneous discharge. We recommend charging this unit before using it.

● When you do not perform "3-2 Measuring the initial value of backup time" described next, proceed to "4. Operation."Page 18

3-2 Measuring the initial value of backup time

● Before starting operation for the first time, measure the backup time initial value of the unit in your environment. You can use it as a guide to check the battery.

See also

"7. Measuring the backup time" → Page 33

3-3 Recharging the battery

The battery is discharged completely when the backup time is measured, so you need to recharge it before using the UPS.

● You can use connected devices while recharging the battery, but the backup time when a power failure occurs is shorter until the battery is fully charged. (If a power failure occurs immediately after the start of charging, backup stops immediately.)

7. Measuring the backup time (checking the discharge time of the battery)

7. Measuring the backup time

(Checking the discharge time of the battery)

7-1 Measuring method of the backup time

(1) Connect the 100 VAC Input Plug of the UPS to a wall outlet (commercial power) and charge it for approxi-

mately 12 hours. If you operate the UPS for 12 hours or more, it is charged. If a power failure occurred during this period, charge it again.

(2) Turn on all devices connected to the power output of the UPS.

(Including devices connected to the AC outlet of your computer.) Operate them in a way in which it is allowable that power supply to the connected devices stops.

● For Windows XP/Me/2000 or Windows NT:

To be performed in case of hard drive stops.

● For Windows 98/95:

Choose Shut Down of Windows and follow the procedure below to shut down your OS.

Choose "Restart in MS-DOS mode" to exit from OS and display the MS-DOS mode screen.

(3) Disconnect the 100 VAC Input Plug of the UPS and measure the backup time.

Measure the time until the UPS automatically stops and all displays disappear with the plug disconnected.

* The backup time you measure for the first time after purchase is the "initial value of the backup time."

7-2 Estimated backup time

The backup time varies depending on the capacity of connected devices. After calculating the total capacity of connected devices, refer to the graph of the backup time to obtain an estimation of the initial value of the backup time. (This is also applied to checking the battery.) (1) Unify the total capacity (power consumption) of connected devices to W (Watt).

For the indication of connected devices, check your computer and the rear of the display. There are 3 types of indication: VA (Volt·Ampare) indication, A (Ampare) indication, and W indication.

Example 1) 100 VAC, 50/60Hz,

Example 2) 100 VAC, 50/60Hz,

Example 3) 100 VAC, 50/60Hz,

For devices that use the VA or A indication, convert the capacity into W. Multiply the value indicated on devices by the value in the right table for conversion.

(2) Add the values converted into W to obtain the total capacity of the connected devices.

8. Troubleshooting

Problem

The UPS does not operates. Although you connect the 100 VAC Input Plug of the UPS to a wall outlet (commercial power) and turn on the Power Switch, the Power Supply Output Lamp (green) does not go on.

Backup is not possible. The computer stops when a power failure occurs.

Backup is performed too frequently. Frequent switching is performed although a power failure does not occur. You hear the sound of switching.

The display is abnormal.

● The display is unstable.

● White lines occur.

● Noise increases.

Check and remedy

1. Check that the AC Input Plug is connected to the commercial power securely.

2. The AC Input Overcurrent Protection worked and opened. (If the black button is popped up, it is suspected that there are too many connected devices or there is a short in connected devices.) Disconnect all of the connected devices, push in the AC Input Overcurrent Protection Black Button, and turn on the Power Switch of the UPS again. If the normal operation display does not go on, the UPS is at fault. (See "Interpreting a beep and display" on page 20.)

3. Isn't the voltage of the wall outlet (commercial power) too low? Stop devices that consume a lot of power such as an air conditioner. Check the UPS, for example, by connect it to a wall outlet (commercial power) in another room or house. (It does not operate when the voltage is less than 90 V.)

Isn't charging insufficient? Perform the test after charging the battery for at least 12 hours. You can charge the battery by connecting the 100 VAC Input Plug of the UPS to a wall outlet (commercial power).)

1. The input power supply may be at fault. Connect the UPS to a wall outlet (commercial power) in another room or, if possible, another house and check it. Or, stop large devices such as a cooler.

2. Isn't a page printer connected? Because large current flows instantaneously in printers, normal backup is not possible.

1. The UPS generates some noise when performing backup. For displays susceptible to noise, distortion or white lines may occur, but the UPS is not at fault.

2. Grounding the UPS, computer, and display may improve this problem.

3. Noise during backup may become larger depending on connected devices, you can continue to use the UPS because this occurs due to rectangular wave output.

The Alarm Lamp blinks at intervals of 2 second.

The Alarm Lamp blinks at intervals of 0.5 second.

The Alarm Lamp is turned on.

The output voltage is only approximately 80 V when measuring it with a tester.

The battery is judged to be dead in the auto battery test or the self-diagnostic test. Battery Mode cannot be performed and therefore replace the battery pack.

There are too many connected devices. Decrease the number of connected devices until this lamp goes out and then use the UPS.

Because the status in which too many devices are connected lasted 3 minutes or longer or 120% was exceeded, the UPS stopped immediately. When you turn on the Power Switch of the UPS again, if the Alarm Lamp blinks at intervals of 0.5 second, decrease the number of connected devices and then use the UPS. If the Alarm Lamp blinks again, the circuit is at fault. The UPS needs repair. Please contact us; ____

The UPS outputs a special rectangular wave during the Batter Mode. Due to its characteristics, simple testers indicates approximately 80 V. The UPS is not at fault. To make correct measurement, you need a voltmeter that can measure "true rms value."

This UPS outputs power input from commercial power as it is and charges the battery at the same time. If a power failure or voltage variation occurs, the UPS automatically switches to operation using the battery and continues power output. At this time, the beeper sounds intermittently. When the power is recovered, normal operation using commercial power is automatically recovered. (The beeper stops.) You do not have to perform any operation.
