To obtain warranty coverage, please fill out and 
return the warranty registration card now. 

Inspect the UPS upon receipt. Notify the carrier 
and dealer if there is damage. The packaging is 
recyclable; save it for reuse or dispose of it 
properly. 

 

Install the UPS in a protected area that is free of 
excessive dust and has adequate air flow. Do 
not operate the UPS where the temperature and 
humidity is outside the specified limits. 

 

Location: Top right corner of UPS back panel. 

Caution:  If the site wiring fault indicator lights, 
get a qualified electrician to correct the building 
wiring. 

Plug the loads into the output connectors on the 
rear of the UPS. To use the UPS as a master 
“On/Off” switch, make sure that all of the loads 
are switched “On”. 

 

Battery Backup Outlets: These UPS outlets 
provide battery power and surge protection to 
equipment when utility voltage is outside 
acceptable limits. Data sensitive equipment such 
as a computer, monitor, or external drive are 
connected to these outlets. 

 

Connect a single line telephone or a 10Base-T/ 
100Base-Tx network cable into the RJ-45/RJ-11 
telephone/network surge protection “IN” jack on 
the back of the UPS. Connect from the “OUT” 
jack with telephone cable (supplied) or network 
cabling (not supplied) to a fax modem or network 
port.  

PowerChute® plus power management software 
is included with this UPS. Connect the supplied 
interface cable to the 9-pin computer interface 
port on the back panel of the UPS. Connect to 
the computer. See software documentation for 
installation instructions. 

The UPS charges its battery whenever it 

is connected to utility power. The battery will 
charge fully during the first 4 hours of normal 
operation.  Do not expect full runtime during this 
initial charge period. 

 

With the UPS plugged in, press and 
release the On/Off/Test button to supply 
power to the loads.  

 

The UPS loads are immediately powered while 
the UPS performs a self-test. Press and release 
the button again to turn “Off” power to the loads. 
It may be convenient to use the UPS as a 
master “On/Off” switch for the protected 
equipment.  

The on-line LED illuminates when the 
UPS is supplying utility power to the 

battery backup  loads. 

The UPS performs a self-test automatically when 
turned “On”, and every two weeks thereafter (by 
default). Automatic self-test eliminates the need 
for periodic manual self-tests. 

During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the 
loads on-battery. If the UPS passes the self-test, 
it returns to on-line operation. 

If the UPS fails the self-test it 
immediately returns to on-line operation 
and lights the replace battery LED.  

The loads are not affected by a failed test. 
Recharge the battery overnight and perform the 
self-test again. If the replace battery LED is still 
"On”, replace the battery using the Replacing 
the Battery procedure.  

During on-battery operation, the on-
battery LED illuminates and the UPS 
sounds an audible alarm consisting of 4 

beeps every 30 seconds. The alarm stops when 
the UPS returns to on-line operation. 

When the UPS is operating on-battery and the 
energy reserve of the battery runs low, the UPS 
beeps continuously until the UPS shuts down 
from battery exhaustion or returns to on-line 
operation. 

When loads exceed the UPS capacity, 
the overload LED illuminates and the 
UPS emits a sustained tone.  The alarm 

remains “On” until the overload is removed. 
Disconnect nonessential load equipment from 
the battery backup outlets, to eliminate the 
overload.  

If the overload is severe, the input circuit breaker 
may trip (the resettable center plunger of the 
circuit breaker pops out), as well. Disconnect 
nonessential load equipment from the UPS to 
eliminate the overload and press the plunger 
back in to restart the UPS. 

If there is AC power and the circuit breaker does 
not trip during overload, the loads are still 
powered.  If the circuit breaker trips or the UPS 
attempts to transfer to battery, the loads’ power 
will be shut “Off”.  Turn the UPS “Off” then back 
“On” to power the loads. 

If the battery fails a self-test, the UPS 
emits short beeps for one minute and 
the replace battery LED illuminates.  

The UPS repeats the alarm every five hours. 
Perform the self-test procedure to confirm 
replace battery conditions. The alarm stops 
when the battery passes the self-test. 

If there is no power, the host connected to the 
computer interface port can command the UPS 
to shut down.  This is normally done to preserve 
battery capacity after a controlled shutdown of 
the protected system. In shutdown mode the 
UPS stops supplying power to the load. The on-
line and overload LED indicators flash alternately 
or, if the UPS has shutdown due to a low battery, 
the UPS will beep once every 4 seconds for 
approximately 16 seconds. When line power is 
restored, the UPS will return to on-line operation. 

Note:  Cold start is not a normal operating 
condition.  

When the UPS is “Off” and there is no utility 
power, it is possible to cold start the UPS to 
power the loads from the UPS battery. 

• 

Press and hold the On/Off/Test button 
until the UPS begins beeping. 

• 

Release the On/Off/Test button during the 
beeping to start the UPS. 

Storage conditions 

Store the UPS covered and upright in a cool, dry location, with its battery fully
