IMPORTANThSAFETYhINSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important instructions for models PowerWalker VI 1000/1500/2000/3000 RT LCD that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.

EN

- This product is specially designed for PCs and it is not recommended for use in any life-supporting system and other specific important equipment.

- This equipment can be operated by any individual with no previous training.

- Do not plug household appliances such as hair dryers to UPS receptacles.

- This unit intended for installation in a controlled environment (temperature controlled, indoor area free of conductive contaminants). Avoid installing the UPS in locations where there is standing or running water, or excessive humidity.

- Risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

- The utility power outlet shall be near the equipment and easily accessible. To isolate UPS from AC input, remove the plug from the utility power outlet.

- If UPS is to be stored for a long time, it is recommended to recharge the batteries (by connecting the utility power to UPS, switch "ON"), once a month for 24 hours to avoid a full battery discharge.

- Please do not use the UPS in excess of the rated load capacity.

- The UPS contains one or more large-capacity batteries. So the shell shall not be opened, otherwise such dangers as electric shock will be caused. If any internal overhaul or replacement of the battery is required, please contact the distributor.

- The internal short circuiting of the UPS will lead to dangers such as electric shock or fire, therefore, no water containers (such as a water glass) shall be placed on the top of the UPS so as to avoid such dangers as electric shock.

- Do not dispose of battery or 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. It may be toxic.

- Icon on the rating label stands for phase symbol.

- A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries

- Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects from the hand.

- Use tools with insulated handles.

- Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.

EN

- When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of the sealed lead-acid batteries.

• The maximum ambient temperature rating is 40^ C.

- This pluggable type A equipment with battery already installed by the supplier is operator installable and may be operated by laymen.

- During the installation of this equipment it should be assured that the sum of the leakage currents of the UPS and the connected loads does not exceed 3.5mA.

- Attention, hazardous through electric shock. Also with disconnection of this unit from the mains, hazardous voltage still may be accessible through supply from battery. The battery supply should be therefore disconnected in the plus and minus pole of the battery when maintenance or service work inside the UPS is necessary.

- The mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS shall be installed near the UPS and shall be easily accessible.

- In case smoke is found coming out from the device, please cut off the power supply quickly and contact the distributor.

- Do not keep or use this product in any of the following environments:

  • Any area with combustible gas, corrosive substance or heavy dust.
  • Any area with extraordinarily high or low temperature (above 40°C or below 0°C) and humidity of more than 90%.
  • Any area exposed to direct sunshine or near any heating apparatus.
  • Any area with serious vibrations.
    o Outdoor.

- In the event that there is fire occurring in the vicinity, please use dry-power extinguishers. The use of liquid extinguishers may give rise to the danger of electric shock.

6. UPS Maintenance

6.1 UPS and Battery Care

EN

For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS clean and dust-free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner. For long battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of 25^ C ( 77^ F)

6.2 Storing the UPS and Batteries

When the UPS is intended to store for a long period, recharge the battery every 6 months by connecting the UPS to utility power. The batteries charge to 90% capacity in approximately 4 hours. However, it is recommended that the batteries charge for 48 hours after long-term storage.

6.3 Time to Replace Batteries

When LCD backlight turns to red, the screen displays "bTWK" and there is a continuous sounding, the battery may need to be replaced. Please check the battery connection or contact your local dealer to order new battery.

BlueWalker PowerWalker VI 1500RT LCD - Time to Replace Batteries - 1

WARNING:

  • Turn off the UPS and disconnect the utility power cord from the wall outlet.

9. Software Installation

WinPower is UPS monitoring software, featuring user-friendly interface to monitor and control your UPS. This unique software provides complete power protection for computer system while power failure. With the software users can monitor any UPS status on the same LAN. Furthermore, a UPS can provide security protection for more than one computer on the same LAN at the same time, such as shutting down system in security, saving application data and shutting down the UPS when power fails.

EN

Software Installation on your PC:

Connected by USB to a PC or notebook, the Software enables communication between the UPS and the computer. The UPS software monitors the status of the UPS, shuts down the system before the UPS is exhausted and can remotely observe the UPS via the Network (enabling users to manage their system more effectively). Upon AC failure or UPS battery low, UPS takes all necessary actions without intervention from the system administrator. In addition to automatic file saving and system shut-down functions, it can also send warning messages via pager, e-mail etc.

  • Use the bundled CD and follow the on-screen instructions to install the software WinPower.
    • After the software is successfully installed, the communication with UPS has been established and an green icon will appear in the system tray.
