1. 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

1-1. Transportation
 Please transport the UPS system only in the original package to protect against shock
and impact.

1-2. 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.

1-3. 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.
 Please use only VDE-tested, CE-marked mains cable (e.g. the mains cable of your
computer) to connect the UPS system to the building wiring outlet (shockproof outlet).
 Please use only VDE-tested, CE-marked power cables to connect the loads 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.

1-4. 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.
 In order to fully disconnect the UPS system, first press the OFF/Enter button to
disconnect the mains.
 Prevent no fluids or other foreign objects from inside of the UPS system.

1
1-5. 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 and/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.
 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.
 When changing batteries, install the same number and same type of batteries.
 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.

Rack-mount Installation
This UPS can be mounted in the 19” rack chassis. Please follow below steps to position this UPS.
Step 1 Step 2

Tower Installation
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

2-4 Setup the UPS

Step 1: Connect battery wires
If using rack UPS, the UPS is shipped out from factory without connecting battery wires for
safety consideration. Before installing the UPS, please follow below steps to re-connect battery
wires first.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Remove front panel. Connect the AC input and Put the front panel back to the
re-connect battery wires. unit.

Step 2: UPS input connection

Plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounded receptacle only. Avoid using extension
cords.
 For 208/220/230/240VAC models: The power cord is supplied in the UPS package.
 For 110/115/120/127VAC models: The power cord is attached to the UPS. The input plug is
a NEMA 5-15P for 1K model and NEMA 5-20P for 2K model.
7
Step 3: UPS output connection
 For socket-type outputs, simply connect devices to the outlets.
 For terminal-type input or outputs, please follow below steps for the wiring configuration:
a) Remove the small cover of the terminal block
b) Suggest using AWG14 or 2.1mm2 power cords for 3KVA (208/220/230/240VAC models).
Suggest using AWG12-10 or 3.3mm2-5.3mm2 power cords for 3KVA
(110/115/120/127VAC models). Please also install a circuit breaker (40A) between the
mains and AC input of UPS in 3KVA (110/115/120127VAC models) for safety operation.
c) Upon completion of the wiring configuration, please check whether the wires are
securely affixed.
d) Put the small cover back to the rear panel.

Operating mode Description LCD display
Online mode When the input voltage is within
acceptable range, UPS will provide pure
and stable AC power to output. The UPS
will also charge the battery at online
mode.

ECO mode Energy saving mode:

When the input voltage is within voltage
regulation range, UPS will bypass
voltage to output for energy saving.

Frequency When input frequency is within 40 Hz to

Converter mode 70 Hz, the UPS can be set at a constant
output frequency, 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The
UPS will still charge battery under this
mode.

Battery mode When the input voltage is beyond the

acceptable range or power failure and
alarm is sounding every 4 second, UPS
will backup power from battery.

Bypass mode When input voltage is within acceptable

range but UPS is overload, UPS will enter
bypass mode or bypass mode can be set
by front panel. Alarm is sounding every

5. Storage and Maintenance

Operation
The UPS system contains no user-serviceable parts. If the battery service life (3~5 years at
25°C ambient temperature) has been exceeded, the batteries must be replaced. In this case,
please contact your dealer.

Be sure to deliver the spent battery to a recycling facility or ship it to your

dealer in the replacement battery packing material.

Storage

Before storing, charge the UPS 5 hours. Store the UPS covered and upright in a cool, dry
location. During storage, recharge the battery in accordance with the following table:
Storage Temperature Recharge Frequency Charging Duration
-25°C - 40°C Every 3 months 1-2 hours
40°C - 45°C Every 2 months 1-2 hours
