Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

● CAUTION (UPS Having Internal Batteries): Risk of electric shock - Hazardous live

parts inside this unit are energized from the battery supply even when the input AC
power is disconnected.

● CAUTION (No User serviceable Parts): Risk of electric shock, do not remove cover.

No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

● CAUTION (Non-isolated Battery supply): Risk of electric shock, battery circuit is not

isolated from AC input, hazardous voltage may exist between battery terminals and
ground. Test before touching.

● WARNING (Fuses): To reduce the risk of fire, replace only with the same type and

rating of fuse.

● WARNING: Intend for installation in a controlled environment.

● CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, the battery may explode.

● CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate the battery, released electrolyte is harmful to the

skin and eyes.

● CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electric shock and high short circuit current.

The following precaution should be observed when working on batteries
Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.

Use tools with insulated handles.

● To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the UPS from the mains supply before

installing a computer interface signal cable. Reconnect the powers cord only after
signaling interconnections have been made.

● Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledge of

batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

Introduction

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

Please save or recycle the packaging materials!

The UPS‘s shipping materials are designed with great care to provide protection within
delivery. These materials are invaluable if you ever have to return the UPS for service.
Damage happened during transit is not covered under the warranty.

Intelligent microprocessor control

The product is an advanced line-interactive UPS based on microprocessor control. This
means that it operates with the newest technology, high performance and powerful function.

The line-interactive UPS is an intelligent protector and provides pure, reliable AC power to
the critical loads - protecting them from utility power blackout, swells, sags, surges and
interference. The loads could include sensitively medical instruments, computers,
telecommunication systems, and industrially automatic equipment. Under power normal
condition, the line-interactive design enables the system to adjust and filter power
fluctuations continuously and automatically. In the event of power failure, it can provide
immediately back-up power from the batteries without any interruption. Complete
transference will be achieved within 4m seconds, with no interruption.

Beside this, when the utility power is connected, the charger would work automatically even
under power switch is OFF. Furthermore, in order to save the battery energy, UPS can be set
to turn it off under backup mode if none of the connected loads is operating.

Advanced battery management

The visual and audible indications of the UPS present the battery’s status including capacity
degree and battery condition. Self-test function let UPS detect a weak battery before it is put
into service. The UPS normally perform a self-test at power up and manual self-test
condition. Self-test function can be conducted manually with the ON/TEST switch at any
time.

Advanced monitoring software

The line-interactive UPS and SENTINEL series monitoring software (optional kits) make
your computer operate intelligent and provide you with the ability of perfect protection of
your critical devices. The software is available for most operation systems and is supplied
with a communication cable that connects to the UPS.

Front Panel

n “ON/TEST” button: With the UPS plugged in, press the ON/TEST button to turn on

the UPS and power the loads. ON/TEST button also activates the UPS‘s self-test function
and silence the buzzer when working at backup mode.

o “OFF” button: Press the OFF button to turn off the UPS and the loads.
p “BOOST AVR (VOLTAGE BOOST)” indicator (YELLOW LED): The LED

illuminates when the UPS is correcting a lower utility voltage input. The loads would receive
steady and correct power from the UPS.

q “BUCK AVR (VOLTAGE REDUCTION)” indicator (YELLOW LED): The LED

illuminates when the UPS is correcting a higher utility voltage input. The loads would
receive steady power from UPS.

r “OVERLOAD / REPLACE BATTERY” indicator (RED LED): The LED flashes

when the loads connected to the UPS exceed the UPS‘s capacity, and bright steady when the
UPS‘s battery is no longer useful and must be replaced..

s “BACK UP” indicator (YELLOW LED): The LED illuminates when the UPS is

supplying battery power to the loads

t “LINE NORMAL” indicator (GREEN LED): The LED illuminate when the line input

voltage is normal.

u “LOAD LEVEL / BATTERY CAPACITY” bar graph: When line normal, the LED

bar shows the load level. When back up mode, it shows the battery capacity.
