4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the UPS from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Position the UPS on a flat, stable surface in a clean, cool, and dry environment. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit and avoid placing it near windows or heat sources.
- Initial Charging: Connect the UPS power cord to a grounded wall outlet. Allow the unit to charge for at least 8 hours before connecting any equipment to ensure full battery capacity. The UPS will charge whether it is turned on or off.
- Connecting Equipment:
- Battery Backup & Surge Protected Outlets: Connect critical equipment such as computers, monitors, and external hard drives to these outlets. These devices will receive power from the UPS battery during an outage.
- Surge Protected Only Outlets: Connect non-critical equipment like printers, scanners, or desk lamps to these outlets. These outlets provide surge protection but do not offer battery backup.
- USB Connection (Optional): Connect the supplied USB cable from the UPS to your computer's USB port. Install the monitoring software (if provided by CDP) to enable advanced power management features, such as automatic shutdown during extended power outages.
5. Operating Instructions
- Turning On: Press and hold the power button (usually located near the LCD display) for approximately 2-3 seconds until you hear a beep and the LCD screen illuminates.
- Turning Off: Press and hold the power button for approximately 2-3 seconds until you hear a beep and the LCD screen turns off.
- LCD Display: The LCD screen provides real-time information:
- Input Voltage: Displays the incoming utility power voltage.
- Output Voltage: Shows the voltage supplied by the UPS to connected equipment.
- Load Level: Indicates the percentage of the UPS's capacity currently being used by connected devices.
- Battery Capacity: Shows the remaining battery charge level.
- Operating Mode: Icons may indicate utility power mode, battery mode, or fault conditions.
- Battery Mode: During a power outage, the UPS will automatically switch to battery mode, providing power to connected equipment on the battery backup outlets. An audible alarm will typically sound to indicate battery operation.
- Alarm Silence: Some models allow silencing the battery mode alarm by briefly pressing the power button. The alarm will reactivate if the battery runs critically low.
6. Maintenance
- Battery Care: To maximize battery life, ensure the UPS is always connected to an AC outlet to keep the battery charged. Avoid frequent deep discharges.
- Battery Replacement: The internal battery is not user-replaceable. Contact CDP customer support or a qualified service technician for battery replacement.
- Cleaning: Disconnect the UPS from the AC power outlet and all connected devices before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
- Storage: If storing the UPS for an extended period, ensure the battery is fully charged. Recharge the battery every three months to prevent permanent damage. Store in a cool, dry place.
