Connect Equipment

There are two types of output receptacles: Master, and Slave.

To save power consumption, the unit is equipped with Master and Slave output receptacles. The

Master output receptacle will sense if master device (computer) is on. If the master device is no

longer drawing current, it will automatically shut down the power to the Slave output

receptacles. Please refer to below charts for detailed equipment connection.

Computer

NOTE: When the computer is turned off, the Master output receptacle shuts off power to the

slave output receptacles. However, when the computer goes into “sleep mode” or the power

consumption of connected device to Master output receptacle is below 20 W, the Master output

receptacle may not properly recognize the reduced power level.

Connect Modem/Phone Port for Surge Protection

Connect a single modem/phone line into surge-protected “IN” outlet on the unit. Connect from

“OUT” outlet to the computer with phone line cable.

4. Operation

Transfer to Maintenance Bypass

Before transferring to maintenance bypass, make sure the Power LED is lighting. Transfer the

rotary bypass switch from “Normal” to “Bypass”. At this time, all connected devices are powered

by the utility power directly. You may turn off the UPS and disconnect two cables connecting to

UPS. Then you may now service the UPS.

Transfer to UPS Protection

After maintenance service is done, reconnect UPS to the unit by following Installation Section.

Verify the Power LED is lighting. Then transfer the rotary bypass switch from “Bypass” to

“Normal”. Now, all connected devices are protected by UPS.
