1BIMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
This manual contains important instructions that should be
followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS.
Intended for installation in a controlled environment.
Maximum ambient temperature 104°F (40°C).
CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a
temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of
conductive contaminants. (See the specifications for the
acceptable temperature and humidity range.)
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of overheating the UPS, do not
cover the UPS' cooling vents and avoid exposing the unit to
direct sunlight or installing the unit near heat emitting appliances
such as space heaters or furnaces.
CAUTION! Do not attach non-computer-related items, such as
medical equipment, life-support equipment, microwave ovens, or
vacuum cleaners to UPS.
CAUTION! Do not plug the UPS input into its own output.
CAUTION! Do not allow liquids or any foreign object to enter the
UPS. Do not place beverages or any other liquid-containing
vessels on or near the unit.
CAUTION! In the event of an emergency, press the OFF button
and disconnect the power cord from the AC power supply to
properly disable the UPS.
CAUTION! Do not attach a power strip or surge suppressor to
the UPS.
CAUTION! If the UPS is with metal chassis, for safety purpose,
grounding is a must during UPS installation in order to reduce
leakage current below 3.5mA.
CAUTION! When replacing the batteries, use the same number
and type of batteries.
CAUTION! Internal battery voltage is 12VDC. Sealed,
lead-acid, 6-cell battery.
Attention hazardous through electric shock. Also with
disconnection of this unit from the mains, hazardous voltage
still may be accessible through supply from battery. The
battery supply should be therefore disconnected in the plus
and minus pole at the quick connectors of the battery when
maintenance or service work inside the UPS is necessary.
CAUTION! Servicing of batteries should be performed or
supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the
required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away
from batteries.
CAUTION! Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The battery
may explode. Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries.
Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes.
CAUTION! Unplug the UPS prior to cleaning and do not use
liquid or spray detergent.
CAUTION! A battery can present a risk of electric shock and
high short circuit current. The following precaution should be
observed before replacing batteries:
1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2) Use tools with insulated handles.
3) Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
5) Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or
disconnecting batteries terminal.
SETUP
4BStep 1 Inspect the Package
Inspect the package and the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier
and dealer of visible damage.
UPS Quick-start guide USB cable
5BStep 2 Decide Where to Place the UPS
The UPS must be placed indoors, protected from water, direct
sunlight and excessive heat.
Provide at least 7.8” (20 cm) of clearance on all sides of the unit
for proper ventilation.
6B
7B
Step 3 Charge the UPS Battery Before Use
The UPS battery is fully charged before shipping. However,
some charge may be lost during shipping and the battery
should be recharged prior to use.
Plug in the AC input cord to the wall outlet. For the best
results, suggest to charge the battery at least 6 hours
before initial use. The unit charges its battery while
connecting to the utility.

Step 4 Start the UPS
After the battery is fully charged:
Turn on the UPS by pressing the On/Off button. Normal
mode LED should be illuminated, indicating the UPS is
operating in Normal mode.
8B
Step 5 Connect the Loads
The UPS is equipped with battery backup outlets that provide
power when the UPS operates on battery. (see Figure 2, 4 or 6
on next two pages for different power rated UPS)
Plug the loads into the battery backup outlets on the rear of
the UPS.
CAUTION: NEVER connect a laser printer or scanner to the
UPS unit. This may cause the damage of the unit.
Step 6 Connect the Network Surge Protection
Connect a single phone cable into the RJ-45 network
surge protection IN jack on the rear panel of the UPS.
Connect a RJ-45 phone cable from the OUT jack on the
rear of the UPS to a port on a PC
Step 7 Set Up Shutdown Software
To start using shutdown software:
Connect one end of USB cable (supplied) to the USB
port on the rear panel of the UPS. Connect the other
end of USB cable on the computer
Download ViewPower shutdown software from the
internet:
www.power-software-download.com/viewpower.html
Follow on-screen instruction to install the shutdown
software.
