Please read this manual thoroughly before using the device to ensure proper and safe operation.
2. Safety Information
Always adhere to the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the UPS and connected equipment.
- Do not open the UPS casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
- Do not connect appliances that could overload the UPS, such as laser printers or vacuum cleaners, to the battery backup outlets.
- Ensure the UPS is connected to a grounded power outlet.
- Do not expose the UPS to water or excessive humidity.
- Place the UPS in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Disconnect the UPS from the power outlet before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
- Battery replacement should only be performed by qualified personnel using the correct battery type (Pb-Ca).
3. Product Overview
The Salicru SPS SOHO+ 1200VA UPS is a line-interactive system featuring Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) and a clear LCD display for real-time status monitoring. It provides battery backup and surge protection for your critical devices.
3.1 Front Panel
Figure 1: Front view of the Salicru SPS SOHO+ 1200VA UPS. It features a central LCD screen displaying battery, input, output, and load status. Below the screen is a circular power button, and further down are two USB 2.0 ports for charging devices.
- LCD Display: Shows real-time information such as input/output voltage, battery level, and load capacity.
- Power Button: Used to turn the UPS on or off.
- USB Charging Ports (2A Max): Two USB 2.0 ports for charging mobile devices.
3.2 Rear Panel
Figure 2: Rear view of the Salicru SPS SOHO+ 1200VA UPS. It shows the integrated power cord, a circuit breaker button (10A 250V~), and four Schuko outlets labeled "BATTERY BACKUP & SURGE".
- AC Input Cable: Connects the UPS to the main power supply.
- Circuit Breaker: Resettable overload protection.
- Schuko Outlets (x4): Provide battery backup and surge protection for connected devices.
- USB Communication Port: For connecting the UPS to a computer for monitoring and management (cable not shown in image).
4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the UPS from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Place the UPS on a flat, stable surface in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated indoor area. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for airflow. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture.
- Initial Charging: Connect the UPS to a grounded wall outlet using its integrated power cord. Allow the unit to charge for at least 4 hours before connecting any devices. This ensures the battery is fully charged and ready to provide optimal backup time.
- Connecting Devices:
- Plug your computer, monitor, and other critical electronic devices into the Schuko outlets on the rear panel. These outlets provide both battery backup and surge protection.
- For devices that only require surge protection (e.g., printers, scanners), you may use a separate surge protector connected to a wall outlet, or if the UPS has dedicated surge-only outlets (this model has all battery backup).
- USB Communication (Optional): Connect the UPS to your computer using a USB cable (not included) to enable monitoring and management software features. Refer to the software's instructions for installation and use.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Turning On/Off the UPS
- To Turn On: Press and hold the power button on the front panel for approximately 3 seconds until you hear a beep and the LCD display illuminates.
- To Turn Off: Press and hold the power button for approximately 3 seconds until the LCD display turns off and the unit powers down.
5.2 Understanding the LCD Display
Figure 3: Detailed view of the LCD display on the Salicru SPS SOHO+ UPS. The display shows icons for battery charge level, input voltage (IN), output voltage (OUT), and connected load level (LOAD).
The LCD display provides critical information about the UPS status:
- BATT: Indicates the current battery charge level.
- IN: Displays the input voltage from the utility power.
- OUT: Displays the output voltage supplied by the UPS to connected devices.
- LOAD: Shows the percentage of the UPS's capacity currently being used by connected devices.
- Indicators: Icons may appear to indicate AC mode, battery mode, fault conditions, or overload.
5.3 Cold Start Function
The UPS supports a cold start function, allowing it to power on and provide power to connected devices even when there is no utility power available. To perform a cold start, ensure the UPS is off, then press and hold the power button for approximately 5-7 seconds until the unit powers on and supplies power from its battery.
5.4 Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)
The SPS SOHO+ features AVR, which automatically corrects minor voltage fluctuations (sags and surges) without switching to battery power. This extends battery life and ensures a stable power supply to your devices.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the UPS from the power outlet. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
- Battery Care:
- To maintain optimal battery life, ensure the UPS is connected to a power outlet and charging when not in use.
- Perform a full discharge and recharge cycle every 3-6 months if the UPS is rarely used or experiences frequent short power outages. This helps calibrate the battery meter and maintain battery health.
- The battery is user-replaceable. When the battery needs replacement (typically after 3-5 years, depending on usage), contact Salicru support or a qualified technician for guidance on obtaining and installing a compatible Pb-Ca battery.
- Ventilation: Regularly check that the ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating.
