2. Setup and Installation
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove the UPS from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. If any damage is observed, do not attempt to operate the unit and contact your supplier.
2.2 Physical Placement
- Place the UPS on a flat, stable surface.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Do not block the ventilation openings on the sides.
- Avoid placing the UPS in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in environments with excessive dust or humidity.
- Maintain a safe distance from water sources.
2.3 Connecting Devices
The Salicru SPS 650 HOME features multiple outlets for connecting your equipment. These outlets are typically divided into "Battery Power Supplied" (battery backup and surge protection) and "Surge Protection Only" sections.

- Connect your critical devices (e.g., computer, monitor) to the outlets labeled "Battery Power Supplied". These outlets will provide power during an outage.
- Connect non-critical devices (e.g., printer, scanner) to the outlets labeled "Surge Protection". These outlets protect against surges but do not provide battery backup.
- Plug the UPS power cord into a grounded wall outlet.
2.4 Initial Power On
Press the power button located on the front or side of the UPS. The UPS will typically perform a self-test, and indicator lights will illuminate to confirm operation. Allow the UPS to charge for at least 8 hours before initial use to ensure optimal battery performance.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Power Button and Indicators
The power button controls the ON/OFF state of the UPS. Indicator lights provide status information:
- Green LED (Solid): Normal operation, utility power is present, and the UPS is providing power to connected devices.
- Green LED (Flashing) & Audible Alarm: UPS is operating on battery power (during a power outage).
- Red LED (Solid) & Continuous Alarm: Overload or fault condition. Disconnect non-essential devices.
- Red LED (Flashing) & Intermittent Alarm: Low battery warning.
3.2 Battery Backup Function
In the event of a power outage or significant voltage fluctuation, the UPS will automatically switch to battery power, providing a temporary power supply to connected devices on the "Battery Power Supplied" outlets. This allows you to save your work and safely shut down your equipment.

All outlets on the Salicru SPS 650 HOME provide surge protection, safeguarding your devices from damaging power surges and spikes. This protection is active whether the UPS is on battery power or utility power.
