Quick Installation STEP 1: Place the UPS in either a horizontal ("desktop") or vertical ("tower") position. The UPS's housing is designed with sides that slope slightly in order to tilt the LCD Display up for easy viewing in either position-horizontal or vertical. As another aid to easy viewing, the LCD Display can be rotated. To rotate the display: carefully insert a small tool in the slots on the sides of the display to pop it out of the UPS housing; rotate the display, and snap it back into the UPS housing. CAUTION: To safely balance the UPS when it is placed in a vertical ("tower") position, make sure the LCD Display is located at the top of the front panel. STEP 2: Plug the UPS into an outlet. After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF button for one second to turn the UPS on (see Basic Operation section). Please Note! The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live utility power. STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS. Select outlets (see diagram) will provide battery backup and surge protection; plug your computer, monitor and other critical devices here.* Select outlets (see diagram) will provide surge protection only; plug your printer and other nonessential devices here. * Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity. To find your equipment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a self-test (see "MUTE/ TEST" Button description). CAUTION: The UPS must be plugged into a live AC outlet and turned on for 24 hours after initial installation to fully charge the UPS's internal battery. Your connected equipment will receive utility-supplied AC power (if present) immediately after the UPS is plugged in and turned on; however, your connected equipment may not receive full battery backup in the event of a blackout or severe brownout until the UPS's internal battery is fully charged. Basic Operation (Front Panel) 1 "ON/OFF" Button • To turn the UPS on: Press and hold the ON/OFF Button for one second.* If utility power is absent, pressing the Button will "coldstart" the UPS, i.e. turn it on and supply power from its battery.** • To turn the UPS off: Press and hold the ON/OFF Button for one second.* The UPS will be turned completely off (deactivated). * The alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed. ** Runtime will be proportionate to the UPS battery's level of charge. 1 ON/OFF Button 2 "MUTE/TEST" Button • To Silence (or "Mute") UPS Alarms: briefly press and release the MUTE/TEST button. Note: continuous alarms (warning you to shut down connected equipment immediately) cannot be silenced. • To Run a Self-Test: with your UPS plugged in and turned on, press and hold the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds. Continue holding the button until the alarm beeps several times and the UPS performs a self-test. See "Results of a Self-Test" below. Note: you can leave connected equipment on during a self-test. 2 MUTE/TEST Button CAUTION! Do not unplug your UPS to test its battery. This will remove safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections. Results of a Self-Test: The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity and charge. All LCD Display icons will be illuminated and the UPS alarm will sound. 3 201207108 93-2663.indd 3 9/4/2012 3:15:56 PM
