To connect your equipment and power source:

• **Connecting Equipment:** Plug your equipment into the output receptacles on the rear panel. Ensure you do not exceed the maximum output rating of the UPS. DO NOT plug extension cords, adapter plugs, or surge strips into the output receptacles. CAUTION: DO NOT connect a laser printer, copier, vacuum cleaner, or any other large electrical device to the UPS.

• **Connecting to an AC Source:** Plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounded receptacle only. The AC outlet should be near the UPS and easily accessible. DO NOT plug the UPS into extension cords, adapter plugs, surge strips, or power strips. Do not cut the input plug off and attempt to hardwire the UPS.

• **Checking Site Wiring Fault:** After plugging the UPS into the AC wall outlet, check the Site Wiring Fault (SWF) icon on the front panel. If the SWF icon is illuminated, the UPS is plugged into an improperly wired AC outlet. Have a qualified electrician correct the problem.

• **Charging the Battery:** The UPS charges the internal batteries whenever it’s connected to an acceptable AC source (90-150VAC). It is recommended to charge the batteries for a minimum of 4 hours before use. If the UPS is stored for a prolonged period, the batteries must be recharged for at least 24 hours every 90 days.

This Line-Interactive UPS protects equipment from blackouts, brownouts, overvoltages, and surges. Its AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) function continuously corrects voltages to a safe level. During normal AC operation, the UPS quietly protects your system.

When a blackout, brownout, or overvoltage occurs, the UPS transfers to battery mode. The On Battery indicator will illuminate, and an audible alarm will sound once every ten seconds.

When commercial power returns to an acceptable level, the UPS automatically transfers back to AC mode and starts recharging the batteries.

During an extended outage, when approximately two minutes of backup time remain, a Low Battery Warning alarm will sound twice every five seconds. When the batteries reach a predetermined level, the UPS will automatically shut down to protect them from over-discharging.

Once commercial power returns, the UPS will automatically restart, providing safe power to the connected equipment.

• **ON BATTERY:** When the UPS is on battery power, the AC mode icon extinguishes, the On-Battery icon illuminates, and an audible alarm sounds one beep every 10 seconds. The LCD displays the estimated runtime remaining.

• **LOW BATTERY WARNING:** When batteries reach the predetermined low level, the audible alarm sounds two beeps every five seconds. The LCD displays error code E07. This indicates approximately two minutes of runtime remaining before the UPS shuts down.

• **WEAK/BAD BATTERY:** If the battery is weak, bad, or disconnected, the Weak/Bad Battery icon illuminates, the Battery Capacity Bar Graph turns off, the LCD displays error code E06, and an audible alarm sounds three beeps every five minutes. It is recommended to let the UPS charge overnight before performing another battery test.

• **OVERLOAD:** If the connected load exceeds the UPS’s power rating, the Overload icon illuminates, the LCD displays error code E02, and the audible alarm sounds continuously. This alarm will remain on until the excess load is removed or the UPS shuts down. To clear a shutdown overload alarm, remove part of the load, turn the UPS on, and then perform a battery test.

• **UPS FAULT:** If the UPS detects an internal fault, the Fault icon illuminates, an error code is displayed, the alarm sounds continuously, and the output is turned off. Sometimes this can be cleared by turning the UPS off and on. If not, the unit requires service.

Battery replacement must be performed by QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. The battery system can present a risk of electrical shock. Observe these precautions:

1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
