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 explore.

 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.

 CAUTION: A disconnect switch shall be provided by others for ac output circuit. To reduce the risk

of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with branch circuit overcurrent protection for 20
amperes rating in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

 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

 When replacing batteries, replace with 12V/9Ah or 12V/7Ah.

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 backup 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 automatically turn it
off under backup mode if none of the connected loads is operating.

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.

Monitoring software

The line-interactive UPS and UPSMON Pro monitoring software 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.

Note: There is no guarantee that interference to radio/TV will not occur in a particular installation. If
this UPS causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
UPS off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of following
measures:

1. Connect the equipment to an outlet at a circuit different from the connected radio/TV.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver or reorient the receiving
antenna.

1.1.1 “ON/TEST” button:

With the UPS plugged in, press the ON/TEST button to turn on the UPS and power the
loads. ON/TEST also activates the UPS‘s self-test and utility line voltage displays.

1.1.2 “OVERLOAD” indicator:

The LED lights when the loads connected to the UPS exceed the UPS‘s capacity.

1.1.3 BACKUP” indicator:

The LED illuminates when the UPS is supplying battery power to the loads.

1.1.4 “REPLACE BATTERY” indicator:

The LED illuminates when the UPS‘s battery is no longer useful and must be replaced.
Note: When replace battery, disconnect the utility power then open the case and take
notice of the battery‘s polarity while install the new battery to avoid short circuit.

1.1.5 “BUCK AVR (VOLTAGE REDUCTION)” indicator:
The LED illuminates when the UPS is correcting a high utility voltage condition. The

loads receive normal power.

1.1.6 “LINE NORMAL” indicator:

The LED illuminate when the line input voltage is normal.

1.1.7 “BOOST AVR (VOLTAGE BOOST)” indicator:

The LED illuminates when the UPS is correcting a low utility voltage condition. The
loads receive normal power.
