● As the peak current of a page printer is large, an excess of the connection capacity or a power failure due to instantaneous voltage drop may be detected.

This unit is a full-time commercial power supply method uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Do not use the unit with the types of devices described below.

● Devices that require a highly stable power supply. Instantaneous fluctuations in the output voltage have the potential to cause connected devices to stop.

If the unit is used with an inductive device, check the operation beforehand.

● With some types of devices, the effect of inrush current may cause this unit to stop operating properly.

● An inductive device is one that has transformers, coils, motors, etc. built into the input.

Do not fail to confirm the system operation beforehand if the unit is used combined with devices which power supply frequency fluctuate widely, such as private electric generator.

● This unit automatically recognizes the input power frequency when input power is supplied.

● If the unit is connected when the input power frequency is not stable at the rated level, the unit may misidentify

the power supply frequency and may fail to operate normally. (If the unit is in operation, changing from commercial power supply to another power supply source, such as generating equipment, will cause no problem.)

Do not install or store the unit in a place exposed to direct sunlight.

● The rise of temperature may cause the built-in battery to deteriorate rapidly and become unusable.

Do not perform a withstand voltage test.

● The input circuit has a built-in surge absorption device. A withstand voltage test may break it.

● When performing an insulation resistance test, use the 250 VDC range.

Before stopping commercial power to the unit, turn OFF the power switch of the unit.

● The unit enters Battery Mode when commercial power is stopped. If you frequently use the unit in Battery Mode, the battery life may be significantly shortened.

Do not fail to confirm the system operation beforehand if the unit is used other than "Output 100V mode".

5. Maintenance and inspection

When maintaining the connected equipment, turn OFF the power switch and disconnect the AC input plug.

● The backup function continues to supply power from the power output receptacles while the UPS is operating, even when the AC input plug is disconnected.

Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the unit.

● Doing so may cause an electric shock or a fire.

If fluid leaks from the unit, do not touch the fluid.

● Doing so may cause blindness or burns.

●

If the fluid contacts your eyes or skin, wash it out with lots of clean water and consult your doctor.

Do not throw the unit into fire.

● The lead battery in the unit may explode, or leak dilute sulfuric acid.

5-1 Checking the battery

The sealed lead battery used in the unit has a limited life. (The life varies depending on your storage/use environment and backup frequency.) The nearer the end of the life is, the more rapidly deterioration proceeds.

1. Life of battery (estimated replacement timing)

2. Method to check the battery

There are 3 methods for checking the battery.

• Perform a self-diagnostic test. (See page 32.)

• Use the auto battery test function. (See page 32.)

• Measure the backup time. (See page 46.) By measuring the backup time, the battery life can be determined more accurately.

See also

Measure the backup time according to "7-1 Measuring method of the backup time." ➛ Page 60

If the measured value is equal to the "initial value of the backup time" or less than half the value obtained from the graph of "Estimated backup time" on page 60, replace the battery.

• When you compare the "initial value of the backup time" you measured and the current backup time, make the capacity of devices connected to the UPS same as when you measured the initial value to make judgment accurately.

3. Guideline on the frequency of checking the battery (measuring the backup time)

* The battery deteriorates even if it is stored. The higher the temperature is, the shorter the life

becomes.

Explanation

Operation start using the UPS monitoring software during scheduled stop

● If the unit starts operation during a scheduled stop period, the next set scheduled ON operation is cancelled after the power switch is turned OFF.

Auto restart after OS shutdown by UPS monitoring software

● In the event of a power failure, some PC models (see Note 1 below) automatically restart immediately after the completion of the OS shutdown processing by the UPS monitoring software. In this case, the unit stops during restart or after startup, possibly damaging files and/or the hard disk. This problem can be avoided by disabling POWER MANAGEMENT in the BIOS settings.

*1) PC models: This problem has been reported with MICRON Millennia Mme.

● When the PC does not start up automatically, select the “System startup at power restoration” setting (example: “Restore On AC/Power Loss) in the BIOS settings of your PC, and change to a “System startup after power restoration” setting (example: Power On). Individual BIOS setting methods and/or displays may differ depending on the PC. For more information, refer to your PC instruction manual or the technical support center for your PC.

● When considering a system with automatic startup at power restoration, choose a PC that satisfies the condition shown below. For more information on PC operation when input power is supplied, consult your PC instruction manual or contact the PC technical support center.

<Condition> Without pressing the power switch, the PC starts up when input power is supplied.

● After shutdown processing in the event of a power failure, the unit restarts automatically and supplies power once power is restored. If you do not want the devices connected to start up, turn OFF their switches while the power is out.

● The automatic restart setting can also be disabled in the included UPS monitoring software.

6. Using the UPS monitoring software and contact signal

6-5 Using the Contact Signal

You can develop your unique system based on the following specifications to automate the process at the power failure.

You can perform power failure and shutdown processing by allowing the system to detect the backup signal and low battery level signal, or you can use the trouble signal to perform failure notification.

You can stop the UPS by inputting the UPS Stop Signal from the system, and remote control start and stop of the UPS by using the Remote ON/OFF Signal.

Also, this function is valid only when “connection communication” is selected for the “switching switch”. (See item 2 on page 35.)

1. Signal output

The UPS has 5 kinds of output signals. The output circuit consists of an open collector circuit using a photo coupler (a kind of electronic switch).

● Backup Signal output: BU

● Low battery level signal output BL

Goes ON when the battery becomes weak during the Battery Mode.

● Trouble Signal output: TR

Goes ON when an internal failure of the UPS occurs.

● Battery Replacement Signal output (WB)

Turns ON when battery deterioration is detected.

BU-COM ON when a power failure occurs BL-COM

ON when low battery level is detected

TR-COM ON when an internal failure occurs

WB-COM

ON when battery deterioration is detected

Click

4) After the settings are made, double-click the "Service" icon in "Control Panels".

5) Select the UPS service and click the "Start" button.

By starting the alerter service, messenger service, and event log service in advance, the UPS service sends warning messages to the user and records a history of events such as power failures when they occur.

When a power failure occurs, Windows shutdown is performed once the low battery level signal is detected. If the power is restored before the low battery level signal is detected, Windows shutdown is not performed and the normal monitoring state is restored.

Notes

● When connecting a device that generates counter electromotive force to the signal output circuit such as a relay, connect diodes to prevent counter electromotive force at the both end of the relay.

Explanation

● When power is restored after the unit stopped automatically during a power failure, the unit automatically restarts and supplies power. If you do not want to start the connected devices, turn OFF their switches or set the auto restart setting (setting switch 2 ) to ON while the power is out. (See page 33.)

7. Measuring the backup time

(Checking the discharge time of the battery)

7-1 Measuring method of the backup time

(1) Connect the AC Input Plug of the UPS to a wall outlet (commercial power) and charge it for approximately

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 to be “backed up during a power failure”.

(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 Server 2003/XP/Me/2000/Windows NT/Linux/Mac:

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 AC Input Plug of the UPS and measure the backup time.

Measure the time until the unit 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,

145 W

Example 2) 100 VAC, 50/60Hz,

1.8 A

Example 3) 100 VAC, 50/60Hz,

150 VA

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.

(When the power factor is unknown, enter “1”. The power factor usually ranges between 0.6 and 1.)

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

Indication Value

VA × power factor = W

A × power factor × 100 = W

(3) Calculate the initial value of the backup time for the total capacity of the connected devices from the graph

below.

● Graph of backup time (initial value for product that has not been used)

● The smaller the capacity of connected devices becomes, the longer the backup time becomes.

8. Troubleshooting

UPS does not operate. The LED display does not light up, even though the AC input plug is connected to a wall outlet (commercial power) and the power switch is 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.

The battery replacement lamp blinks and the beeper sounds at 2-second intervals.

The status indicator shows “ ”, and the beeper sounds at 0.5-second intervals.

The status indicator blinks “ ”, and the beeper sounds continuously.

8. Troubleshooting

Perform the checks shown below if the unit is operating abnormally. If the unit continues to operate abnormally, please contact our Electronic Systems & Equipments customer support center at _____.

Problem

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 status indicator does not display normally, there is a problem with the UPS. (See "Interpreting a beep and display" on page 30.)

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 90V.)

Isn't charging insufficient? Perform the test after charging the battery for at least 12 hours. You can charge the battery by connecting the AC 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. Is a page printer (laser printer, etc.) 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.

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. There are too many connected devices. Reduce the number of connected devices until “ ” is displayed on the status indicator.

The UPS stopped because too many devices were connected for 3 minutes or more, or because 120% was exceeded. Turn OFF all power to the unit and connected devices, and reduce the number of connected devices. Then, turn the power to the unit and connected devices back ON and check whether " " is displayed on the status indicator.

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.
