Important Safety Warning
Please comply with all warnings and operating instructions in this manual strictly. Save this manual properly and read carefully the following instructions before installing the unit. Do not operate this unit before reading through all safety information and operating instructions carefully.
- Transportation
- Please transport the UPS system only in the original package to protect against shock and impact.
- Preparation
- Condensation may occur if the UPS system is moved directly from cold to warm environment. The UPS system must be absolutely dry before being installed. Please allow at least two hours for the UPS system to acclimate the environment.
- Do not install the UPS system near water or in moist environments.
- Do not install the UPS system where it would be exposed to direct sunlight or near heater.
- Do not block ventilation holes in the UPS housing.
- Installation
- Do not connect appliances or devices which would overload the UPS system (e.g. laser printers) to the UPS output sockets.
- Place cables in such a way that no one can step on or trip over them.
- Do not connect domestic appliances such as hair dryers to UPS output sockets.
- The UPS can be operated by any individuals with no previous experience.
- Connect the UPS system only to an earthed shockproof outlet which must be easily accessible and close to the UPS system.
- When installing the equipment, it should ensure that the sum of the leakage current of the UPS and the connected devices does not exceed 3.5mA.
- Operation
- Do not disconnect the mains cable on the UPS system or the building wiring outlet (shockproof socket outlet) during operations since this would cancel the protective earthing of the UPS system and of all connected loads.
- The UPS system features its own internal current source (batteries). The UPS output sockets or output terminals block may be electrically live even if the UPS system is not connected to the building wiring outlet.
- Prevent no fluids or other foreign objects from inside of the UPS system.
- Maintenance, service and faults
- The UPS system operates with hazardous voltages. Repairs may be carried out only by qualified maintenance personnel.
- Caution -risk of electric shock. Even after the unit is disconnected from the mains (building wiring outlet), components inside the UPS system are still connected to the battery and electrically live and dangerous.
- Before carrying out any kind of service or maintenance, disconnect the batteries and verify that no current is present and no hazardous voltage exists in the terminals of high capability capacitor such as BUS-capacitors. WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER PROTECTIONS!
- Only persons are adequately familiar with batteries and with the required precautionary measures may replace batteries and supervise operations. Unauthorized persons must be kept well away from the batteries.
- Caution -risk of electric shock. The battery circuit is not isolated from the input voltage. Hazardous voltages may occur between the battery terminals and the ground. Before touching, please verify that no voltage is present!
- Batteries may cause electric shock and have a high short-circuit current. Please take the precautionary measures specified below and any other measures necessary when working with batteries:
- Remove wristwatches, rings and other metal objects
- Use only tools with insulated grips and handles.
- Wear rubber gloves and boots.
- Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
- Disconnect charging source and load prior to installing or maintaining the battery.
- When changing batteries, install the same number and same type of batteries.
- A battery can present a risk of electric shock and burns by high short-circuit current.
- Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds for touchable surfaces. When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs.
- Do not attempt to dispose of batteries by burning them. This could cause battery explosion.
- Do not open or destroy batteries. Escaping electrolyte can cause injury to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
- Please replace the fuse only with the same type and amperage in order to avoid fire hazards.
- Do not dismantle the UPS system.
- WARNING: This is a category C2 UPS product. In a residential environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user many be required to take additional measures. (only for 220/230/240 VAC system)
Only for 110/120 VAC system
- NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
- WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Setup the UPS
Step 1: External battery connection
Follow below chart to connect UPS and external battery pack.
Step 2: UPS input connection
Plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounded receptacle only. Avoid using extension cords.
Step 3: UPS output connection
The 4 programmable output receptacles can be programmed via USB or RS232 port.
Step 4: Communication connection
Communication port:
To allow for unattended UPS shutdown/start-up and status monitoring, connect the communication cable one end to the USB/RS-232 port and the other to the communication port of your PC. With the monitoring software installed, you can schedule UPS shutdown/start-up and monitor UPS status through PC.
The UPS is equipped with intelligent slot perfect for SNMP card. When installing with SNMP card in the UPS, it will provide advanced communication and monitoring options.
Step 4: Disable/Enable ROO/RPO function
Contact open: UPS shuts down.
Contact closed: UPS start-up (UPS is connected to AC power and AC power is available).
Note: The local ON/OFF control by pressing On/Off button overrides the remote-control function.
Contact open: UPS shuts down and Fault LED (3) will be ON.

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Possible cause | Remedy |
| No indication and alarm even though the mains is normal. | The AC input power is not connected well. | Check if input power cord firmly connected to the mains. |
| The AC input is connected to the UPS output. | Plug AC input power cord to AC input correctly. | |
| The mains is normal but fault LED is flashing. The alarm is
sounding every second. |
The internal or external battery connection is wrong. | Please re-connect battery wires with correct polarity. |
| The alarm is sounding twice every second and fault LED is flashing. | UPS is overload | Remove excess loads from
UPS output. |
| After repetitive overloads, the UPS is locked in the Bypass mode. Connected devices are fed directly by the mains. | Remove excess loads from UPS output first. Then, shut down the UPS and restart it. | |
| The mains is normal. But the unit is on battery mode. | Battery is not fully charged. | Please charge battery at least 5 hours. If battery is still in low battery level,
please contact local dealer. |
| Battery defect. | Replace the battery with the same type of battery. | |
| Fault LED is on and alarm is sounding continuously. | UPS fault. | Please contact local dealer directly. |
If the UPS system does not operate correctly, please solve the problem by using the table below.
Storage and Maintenance
Operation
