This manual provides essential information for the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of your EPYC Quantum 2200VA UPS.

2. Safety Instructions

Please read and follow all safety instructions carefully before installing or operating the UPS. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Electrical Safety: Connect the UPS only to a grounded AC power outlet. Do not remove the grounding prong. Do not open the UPS casing; there are no user-serviceable parts inside. High voltage is present internally.
• Battery Safety: The UPS contains sealed lead-acid batteries. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, as they may explode. Do not open or mutilate batteries. Battery replacement should only be performed by qualified service personnel.
• Environment: Install the UPS in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive moisture. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for proper airflow.
• Overload Protection: Do not overload the UPS. The total power consumption of connected equipment must not exceed the UPS's rated capacity (1320 Watts for the 2200VA model).
• Liquid Contact: Do not allow liquids to enter the UPS. Do not operate the UPS near water or in excessively humid environments.

1. Connect the Power Cable: Plug the integrated power cable of the UPS into a grounded wall outlet. Allow the UPS to charge for at least 8 hours before initial use to ensure maximum battery life and full capacity.
2. Connect Devices: Plug the devices you wish to protect into the battery-protected outlets on the rear panel (Schuko or IEC). Ensure the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed 1320 Watts.
3. Power On the UPS: Press and hold the front power button for approximately 2 seconds. Release the button when you hear an audible 'click' sound. A white light around the button will illuminate, confirming the UPS is on. If not, repeat the operation.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Normal Operation

Once powered on and connected to a wall outlet, the UPS will continuously monitor the incoming utility power. During normal operation, the UPS provides stable power to connected devices and charges its internal batteries. The LCD display will show the input and output voltage, battery charge level, and load percentage.

6.2 Battery Backup Mode

In the event of a power outage or significant voltage fluctuation, the UPS will automatically switch to battery backup mode, providing power to connected devices. An audible alarm will sound, and the LCD display will indicate battery operation. The duration of battery backup depends on the load connected. To conserve battery power, save your work and shut down your computer gracefully during extended outages.

6.3 Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)

The EPYC Quantum UPS features AVR technology, which automatically corrects minor voltage fluctuations (sags and surges) without switching to battery power. This protects your equipment from harmful voltage variations and extends battery life.

6.4 Monitoring Software

The UPS includes free monitoring software compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. This software allows you to:

• Monitor real-time UPS status and parameters.
• Configure automatic shutdown of your computer during power outages.
• View power event logs.

Connect the UPS to your computer using the provided USB cable and download the software from the official EPYC website (refer to the support section for details).
