Do not work alone under hazardous conditions.  
High short circuit current through conductive materials could cause severe burns.  
A licensed electrician is required to install permanently wired equipment.  
Check that the power cord(s), plug(s), and sockets are in good condition.  
To reduce the risk of electric shock when grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the equipment from the AC power outlet  
before installing or connecting to other equipment. Reconnect the power cord only after all connections are made.  
·
·
Do not handle any kind of metallic connector before the power has been removed.  
Use one hand, whenever possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to avoid a possible shock from touching two  
surfaces with different electrical grounds.  
·
Connect the equipment to a three wire AC outlet (two poles plus ground). The receptacle must be connected to appropriate  
branch circuit/mains protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to any other type of receptacle may result in a shock  
hazard.  
CAUTION! Deenergizing Safety

With the UPS plugged in, press and release the large upper on/test button to supply power to the loads. The loads are  
immediately powered while the UPS beeps and performs a self-test.  
Press and release the small, lower off button to turn off power to the loads. It may be convenient to use the UPS as a master  
on/off switch for the protected equipment.  
Note: Whenever the UPS is plugged in and utility voltage is present, the charger maintains battery charge.  
The on-line LED illuminates when the UPS is supplying utility power to the loads.  
Self-test  
The UPS performs a self-test automatically when turned on, and every two weeks thereafter (by default). Automatic self-test  
eases maintenance requirements by eliminating the need for periodic manual self-tests.  
During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the loads on-battery. If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to on-line operation.  
If the UPS fails the self-test it immediately returns to on-line operation and lights the replace battery LED.  
The loads are not affected by a failed test. Recharge the battery overnight and perform the self-test again. If the replace battery  
LED is still on, replace the battery using the Replacing the Battery procedure.  
SmartTrim  
The SmartTrim LED comes on to indicate that the UPS is compensating for a high voltage.  
SmartBoost  
The SmartBoost LED comes on to indicate that the UPS is compensating for a low voltage.  
Overload  
When the UPS is overloaded (when the connected loads exceed the maximum specified in the “maximum load” section under  
Specifications), the overload LED comes on and the UPS emits a sustained tone. The alarm remains on until the overload is  
removed. Disconnect nonessential load equipment from the UPS to eliminate the overload.  
On Battery  
During on-battery operation, the on-battery LED illuminates and the UPS sounds an audible alarm consisting of four beeps every  
30 seconds. The alarm stops when the UPS returns to on-line operation.  
Low Battery  
When the UPS is operating on-battery and the energy reserve of the battery runs low, the UPS beeps continuously until the UPS  
shuts down from battery exhaustion or returns to on-line operation.

Replace Battery  
If the battery fails a self-test, the UPS emits short beeps for one minute and the replace battery LED illuminates. The UPS repeats  
the alarm every five hours. Perform the self-test procedure to confirm replace battery conditions. The alarm stops when the  
battery passes the self-test.  
100%  
Battery Charge Bar Graph  
80%  
The 5-LED display on the right of the front panel shows the present charge of the UPS’s battery as a percentage of the  
battery’s capacity. When all five LEDs light, the battery is fully charged. The top LED goes out whenever the battery is  
not 100% charged. When the lowest LED is flashing, the battery can supply less than two minutes of run time for the

load.  
Shutdown Mode  
In shutdown mode the UPS stops supplying power to the load, waiting for the return of utility power. If there is no utility power  
present, external devices (e.g., servers) connected to the computer interface or the accessory slot can command the UPS to shut  
down. This is normally done to preserve battery capacity after the graceful shutdown of protected servers. The UPS will scroll the  
front panel indicators sequentially in shutdown mode.  
Load Bar Graph  
85%  
67%  
The 5-LED display on the left of the front panel represents the power drawn from the UPS as a percentage of total  
capacity. For example, if three LEDs are lit, the load is drawing between 50% and 67% of the UPS’s capacity. If all five  
LEDs light, thoroughly test your complete system to make sure that the UPS will not become overloaded.
