This UPS is intended for indoor use only. To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of conductive contaminants.

Mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS shall be installed near the UPS and shall be easily accessible.

UPS must be connected to an earthed mains socket outlet.

Connect the power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.

CAUTION: This UPS is designed to satisfy all of requirement of PCs only.

CAUTION: Risk of electric shock, do not remove the chassis cover. Servicing should be performed by Qualified Engineer.

CAUTION: HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS AND EXCESSIVE SMOKE

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury.

• Replace the battery at least every 5 years.

• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement is necessary.

• Replace battery at the end of its service life.

• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally installed in the equipment.

• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates a battery over-temperature condition, or UPS internal over-temperature, or when there is evidence of electrolyte leakage. Power off the UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and disconnect the batteries. Do not operate the UPS until the batteries have been replaced.

General Battery Precautions:

• Servicing of user replaceable batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and required precautions. In this case batteries are not user replaceable.

• When replacing battery the UPS must be OFF, and its AC inlet unplugged.

• CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

• CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

• Do not open or mutilate batteries. They contain an electrolyte that is toxic and harmful to the skin and eyes.

• CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries.

a. Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.

b. Use tools with insulated handles.

c. Wear rubber gloves and boots.

d. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.

e. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.

f. Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

• CAUTION: The UPS contains internal batteries and may present a shock hazard even when disconnected from AC power.

• CAUTION: Risk of electric shock, Battery Circuit is not isolated from AC input, hazardous voltage may exist between battery terminals and ground. Test before touching.

This is a category C2 UPS product. In a residential environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take additional measures.

NOTICE: Before installing the UPS, ensure the input breaker on the UPS upstream is Type C rated at 16A.

1. Installation Location:

• The UPS MUST be installed indoors in a controlled environment free of excessive dust, corrosive air, or conductive dust.

• Do NOT install outdoors.

• Keep out of direct sunlight, water, and heat sources.

• Place the unit on a stable floor.

2. Connect the battery:

• Connect the battery by pulling the battery handle up, and then pushing it into the unit. The battery connector is located on the rear panel.

• Connect prior to operation.

• Disconnect prior to transportation. Turn OFF the UPS and remove the input power cable before disconnecting the battery connector.

3. Connect equipment to the UPS:

• Avoid using extension cords.

• Do NOT connect printers, heaters, or copiers to the UPS.

• During a power outage or other AC problems, the Battery Backup outlets receive power for a limited time from the Easy UPS.

4. Plug in the Easy UPS:

• Plug the Easy UPS power cord directly into a wall outlet, not into a surge protector or power strip.

5. Turn on the unit:

• Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the unit.

• The Easy UPS should charge the battery for at least 8 hours to ensure sufficient runtime.

• Press the ON/OFF button for 1-3 seconds. The buzzer sound confirms that the Easy UPS is on and providing power to outlets.

6. Cold start the UPS (optional):

• Use the cold start feature to supply power to connected equipment from the UPS batteries when the UPS is off and there is no utility power.

7. Connect and install management software:

• Easy UPS is provided with management software for unattended operating system shutdown, UPS monitoring, and UPS settings.

When the UPS is operating in one of the conditions below, the dry contact interface will be activated.

• When the UPS detects a battery failure, PIN1-2 of a dry contact will be activated.

• When the UPS is operating in AC mode, PIN1-3 of a dry contact will be activated.

If the Easy UPS has not been turned on, press the ON/OFF button.

If the Easy UPS is not connected to AC power, there is no AC power available at the wall outlet, or the AC power is experiencing a brownout or over voltage condition: Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the wall outlet, and that there is AC power available at the wall outlet. Where applicable, check that the wall outlet is switched on or the input fuse works properly.

If the battery is disconnected, make sure the battery connector is properly connected.

An Easy UPS overload condition may have occurred. Remove all nonessential equipment connected to the outlets. One at a time, reconnect equipment to the Easy UPS.

The Easy UPS battery may be completely discharged. Connect the Easy UPS to AC power and recharge for 10 hours.

If these steps do not solve the issue, the Easy UPS may require service. Contact Schneider Electric Technical Support.

The plug may have partially pulled out of the wall outlet, the wall outlet may no longer be receiving AC power, or the fuse may have been blown. Ensure that the plug is fully inserted into the wall outlet. Ensure that the wall outlet is receiving AC power by checking it with another device. Or replace the fuse.

Err 01: Fan fault detected

Turn the Easy UPS off. Clean dust or foreign materials clogging the cooling fan and turn the Easy UPS on. If the error message persists, contact Schneider Electric Technical Support.

Err 02: Inverter short detected

Turn the Easy UPS off. Disconnect non-essential equipment from the outlets and turn the Easy UPS on. If the error message persists, contact Schneider Electric Technical Support.

Err 03: Inverter over voltage detected

Contact Schneider Electric Technical Support.

Err 04: Emergency power off, EPO

Make sure the EPO connector was removed. If the error message persists, contact Schneider Electric Technical Support.

This may indicate the battery is disconnected. Make sure the battery connector in the rear panel is connected.

It can also mean the battery is near the end of its useful life or is damaged. Contact Schneider Electric Technical Support if the Easy UPS remains beeping with the battery connector securely connected.

The battery may not be fully charged. Leave the Easy UPS connected to AC power for 10 hours while the battery charges to full capacity.

The battery may be near the end of its useful life and should be replaced. As a battery ages, the runtime capability decreases.

If the unit requires service, do not return it to the dealer. Follow these steps:
