Setup Instructions
- Charge the UPS: Connect the provided power cable to the "INPUT 100-240Vac" port on the UPS and then to a wall outlet. The battery indicator lights will illuminate to show charging progress. Ensure the unit is fully charged before first use for optimal performance.
- Determine Device Voltage: Identify the required input voltage for the device you wish to power (e.g., router, modem). This information is usually found on the device's power adapter or label.
- Select DC Output Voltage (if applicable): If your device requires 9V or 12V DC, use the "SELECTOR 9V/12V" switch on the rear panel to choose the correct voltage. For 5V devices, no selection is needed for USB/Type-C ports.
- Connect Your Device:
- For DC-powered devices (e.g., routers, modems): Connect one end of the appropriate DC cable to the "DC OUTPUT" port on the UPS and the other end to your device's power input.
- For USB-powered devices: Connect a USB cable to the "USB 5V" port or a Type-C cable to the "TYPE-C OUTPUT" port and then to your device.
- For POE-powered devices (e.g., IP cameras, some access points): Connect an Ethernet cable from your device to the "LAN 24V POE" or "LAN 48V POE" port, ensuring the voltage matches your device's requirements.
- Power On: The UPS typically operates automatically when connected to both input power and devices. During a power outage, it will seamlessly switch to battery backup.
Operating Instructions
- Automatic Operation: Once connected and powered, the UPS will automatically provide power to your connected devices. In the event of a power failure, it will switch to battery power without interruption. When grid power is restored, it will automatically recharge its internal battery.
- Battery Level Indicators: Monitor the 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% indicator lights on the front panel to check the remaining battery capacity.
- Voltage Indicators: The 5V, 9V, or 12V indicator light will show the currently selected DC output voltage.
- Status Indicator: The "STATUS" light indicates the overall operational state of the UPS. Refer to the specific light patterns (e.g., solid, blinking) for detailed status information (if provided in a more detailed manual, otherwise assume basic on/off).
- Reset Function: If the unit malfunctions or becomes unresponsive, press the "RESET" button on the rear panel to restart it.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the UPS. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Battery Care:
- To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the unit frequently.
- Store the UPS in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- If storing for an extended period, charge the unit to approximately 50-70% every 3-6 months.
- Ventilation: Ensure the UPS has adequate ventilation and that its vents are not blocked to prevent overheating.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| UPS not turning on/charging | No input power; UPS battery fully discharged; Faulty power cable. | Ensure the input power cable is securely connected to both the UPS and a working wall outlet. Allow the unit to charge for several hours. Try a different power cable if available. |
| Connected device not receiving power | Incorrect voltage selected; Device cable not properly connected; Device requires more power than UPS can provide; UPS battery is depleted. | Verify the correct voltage is selected (9V/12V switch). Ensure all cables are firmly connected. Check device power requirements against UPS output specifications. Recharge the UPS if the battery is low. |
| Short backup time | High power consumption by connected devices; Battery degradation over time. | Reduce the number or power consumption of connected devices. Ensure the UPS is fully charged. Battery capacity naturally decreases over its lifespan. |
| UPS is hot to the touch | Overload; Poor ventilation. | Disconnect some devices to reduce load. Ensure the UPS is in a well-ventilated area and its vents are clear. If overheating persists, discontinue use and contact support. |
User Tips
- Verify Voltage: Always double-check the voltage requirements of your devices before connecting them to the UPS, especially when using the 9V/12V selector. Incorrect voltage can damage your devices.
- Cable Management: Use the shortest possible cables for connections to minimize power loss and maintain a tidy setup.
- Initial Charge: For the best initial performance and battery calibration, fully charge the UPS before its first use.
