Plug all power protection and information system equipment into the same branch where. Some accessories connect to the computer interface DB-9 port, while others install in the accessory slot. See the literature accompanying the accessory to determine proper installation. The screws holding the slot cover are 2 Phillips head type. Connect the optional battery pack VA model only according to the instructions with the battery pack. Plug the unit into a two-pole, three-wire, grounding receptacle only.

Avoid using extension cords and adapter plugs. The unit charges its battery whenever it is connected to utility power. For best results, charge the battery for 2. It is acceptable to use the unit without first charging the battery, but on-battery run time may be reduced until the battery charges.

Plug the loads into the output connectors on the rear of the unit. Caution: Do not connect a laser printer to the unit along with other computer equipment unless the unit is rated VA or higher. A laser printer periodically draws significantly more power than when idle, and may overload the unit. Verify that the unit can support the loads when the printer is in full operation printing.

Test the system with all loads operating to make sure that the unit is not overloaded. After plugging in the loads and the unit, check the site wiring fault indicator on the rear panel. See section 3. It lights if the unit is plugged into an improperly wired AC power outlet.

Wiring faults detected include missing ground, hot-neutral polarity reversal, and overloaded neutral circuit. Caution: If the unit indicates a site wiring fault, get a qualified electrician to correct the building wiring.

The unit features a TVSS connector for connecting the ground lead on transient voltage surge-sup- pression TVSS devices such as telephone and network line protectors. Tighten the screw to secure the lead. The loads are immediately powered while the unit beeps and performs a self-test. Note: The unit is on the internal processor is operating whenever it is plugged in and utility voltage is present. Even when switched off the unit maintains the battery charge and will respond to commands received through the computer interface port and the accessory slot.

Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the unit and the condition of the battery. Note: By default the unit performs a self-test at power up and once every two weeks. During the self-test, the unit briefly operates the loads on-battery the on-battery LED comes on. If the unit passes the self-test, it returns to on-line operation. If the unit fails the self-test it immediately returns to on-line operation and lights the replace battery LED.

The loads are not affected. Recharge the battery overnight and perform the self-test again. If the replace battery LED is still on, see section 10 for information on replacing the battery. The 5-LED display on the left of the front panel shows the power drawn from the unit by the load. If all five LEDs light, thoroughly test your complete system to make sure that the unit will not become overloaded. If the unit is overloaded, the overload LED lights and an alarm sounds.

When all five LEDs light, the battery is fully charged. When the lowest LED is flashing, the battery can supply less than two minutes of run time for the load. This unit has a diagnostic feature that displays the utility voltage. After four seconds the 5-LED display on the right of the front panel shows the utility input voltage.

Refer to the list for the voltage reading.
