Safety Cautions!
CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants. (See the specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity range.)
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of overheating the UPS, do not cover the UPS' cooling vents and avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight or installing the unit near heat emitting appliances such as space heaters or furnaces.
CAUTION! Do not attach non-computer-related items, such as medical equipment, life-support equipment, microwave ovens, or vacuum cleaners to UPS.
CAUTION! Do not plug the UPS input into its own output.
CAUTION! Do not allow liquids or any foreign object to enter the UPS. Do not place beverages or any other liquid-containing vessels on or near the unit.
CAUTION! In the event of an emergency, press the OFF button and disconnect the power cord from the AC power supply to properly disable the UPS.
CAUTION! Do not attach a power strip or surge suppressor to the UPS.
CAUTION! Internal battery voltage is 12Vdc. Sealed, lead-acid, 6-cell battery.
CAUTION! Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
CAUTION! When replacing the batteries, use the same number and type of batteries.
CAUTION! Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The battery may explode. Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes.
CAUTION! Unplug the UPS prior to cleaning and do not use liquid or spray detergent.
CAUTION! A battery can present a risk of electric shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed before replacing batteries: (1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. (2) Use tools with insulated handles. (3) Wear rubber gloves and boots. (4) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries. (5) Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting batteries terminal.

Overview
The SBP Plus provides automatic voltage regulation for inconsistent utility power, and battery backup during power outages. The SBP Plus ensures consistent power to your computer system and its included software will automatically save your open files and shutdown your computer system during a utility power loss.
How to Determine the Power Requirements of Your Equipment
- Insure that the equipment plugged into the battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit's rated capacity. If rated unit capacities are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or the circuit breaker to trip.
- There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. For optimal system performance keep the attached load below 80% of the UPS's rated capacity.
Hardware Installation Guide
- Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the battery for at least 8 hours is recommended to ensure that the battery's maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur during shipping and storage. To recharge the battery, plug the UPS into an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the on and off position. [Diagram showing a clock face with '8 Hours' indicated, connected to a UPS plugged into a wall outlet.]
- With the UPS turned off and unplugged, connect the computer, monitor, and any equipment into the battery power supplied outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, copier, space heater, vacuum, paper shredder or other large electrical device into the battery power supplied outlets. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
- Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands (e.g. air conditioner, refrigerator, copier, etc.) Avoid using extension cords.
- To turn the UPS on, press the power button for 1 second until the LCD screen turns on. With the LCD screen turned on, press and hold the power button for 3-5 seconds until the OUTPUT is displayed. [Image showing hands pressing the power buttons on two UPS units.]
- If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the UPS will emit one long beep. To correct this, turn the UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power supplied outlets. Wait 10 seconds. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the UPS on.
- To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
- To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the battery every three months to ensure battery life.
Connections
Computer Connection
Connect one computer-related device into each of the power receptacles supplied on the back of the UPS (maximum of three devices).
[Diagram illustrating a computer, UPS, and wall outlet connected via power and USB cables.]
Modem/Phone line Connection
Plug incoming internet line into the "In" socket at the back of the UPS. Use one more Internet line cable and plug one end of the Internet line cable to the "Out" socket at the back of the UPS. Plug the other end to the modem input socket as shown.
[Diagram illustrating a wall outlet, UPS, and modem connected via power, telephone, and internet cables.]
UPS TBF™ Models
- Turn off and un-plug all devices.
- Plug UPS unit into grounded wall outlet.
- Place the UTBF where monitoring lights can be observed.
UTBF Indicators:
- Green light only: It confirms properly connected equipment is fully protected.
- Green and Red light: Reverse polarity or loss of ground at the wall outlet. Call your electrician to correct the problem.
- Green light off: Power failure or UTBF fault. Contact customer service.

Replacing the Battery (1000VA/1500VA only)
Replacement of batteries located in an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA.
CAUTION! Risk of Energy Hazard! Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings. High energy conducted through these materials could cause severe burns.
CAUTION! Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
CAUTION! Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
CAUTION! A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries: 1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects. 2) Use tools with insulated handles.
CAUTION - RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO LOCAL REGULATIONS.
