3. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - Security
The UPS unit is potentially using hazardous voltages. Do not take this equipment apart. It does not contain accessible components to be repaired by users.
All repairs should be performed by qualified technicians only.
The UPS has its own internal power supply (battery). There is a risk that output sockets may still be live after the UPS has been disconnected from the mains power supply.
The UPS has been designed for power computers. It should not be used with power electronic equipment with inductive loads such as motors or fluorescent lights.
Do not connect any non-computer units to the UPS, such as medical equipment for artificial life handling, microwave, vacuum cleaner etc.
Laser printers should not be connected to the UPS as they consume too much power.
Make sure that the power supply required does not exceed the UPS's capacity. We recommend using an optimum power load equivalent to half or one third of the nominal power for longer backup functioning and longer battery life.
Do not leave any container with liquid on the UPS or close to it.
Unplug the UPS before proceeding to its cleaning. Do not use directly any liquid detergent or sprays.
The UPS should not be used in a damp place, nor exposed to direct sunlight or heat-emitting sources. Do not cover the ventilation grills.
In case of emergency, put the UPS on "OFF" position, then unplug the power cord from the power socket to disable the UPS completely.
Should the UPS fail to operate correctly, please refer to section 11: Trouble Shooting.
4. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
The UPS should be stored with its battery fully recharged. Storage temperatures above 20^ should be avoided as this will significantly shorten battery life. The UPS should be recharged once every 3 months. This is done by leaving it connected to the mains power supply for 24 hours. Batteries kept in storage should be recharged every 3 months, failure to do so, it could result in battery damage.
5. AFTER SALES SERVICE
IMPORTANT!
When calling the After-Sales Department, please have the following information ready, it will be required anyway: UPS model, serial number and date of purchase.
Accurate description of the problem providing the following details : type of equipment powered by the UPS, indicator led status, alarm status, installation and environmental conditions.
You will find the technical information you require on your guarantee or on the identification plate on the back of the unit. If convenient you may write down the details in the following box.

7. INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. Control
When you receive your equipment, open the packaging and check that your UPS has not been damaged. The packaging includes : a UPS unit, a user's guide, a power cable, 3 IEC output cables, 1 RJ11 cable. In case of damage, please submit a standard claim to the after-sales service.
2. Charging
This unit is shipped from the factory with its internal battery fully charged, however, some charge may be lost during shipping and the battery should be recharged prior to use. Plug the unit into an appropriate power supply and allow the UPS to charge fully by leaving it plugged-in for at least 8 hours with no load.
3. Place and installation
The UPS has been designed to operate in a protected environment, at temperatures between 0^ C and 40^ C and at a rate of humidity ranging between 0% and 90% (no condensation).
Do not obstruct the ventilation grills. Install the unit in an environment which is free from dust, chemical vapours and conductors.
Moreover, in order to avoid any interference, keep the UPS at least 20~cm away from the CPU (central processing unit).
4. Connection
Plug the UPS into a 2-pole, 3-wire grounded receptacle. Then connect one computer-related device into each of the power receptacles supplied on the back of the UPS.
You can also connect a device which does not require backup time, like a printer for example, into the surge protected and filtered outlet.
5. Turn On/Off
To turn on the UPS unit, press the power switch lightly. To turn off the UPS unit, press the power switch again.
6. DC Start
All of the iPEL evolution units are equipped with an integrated DC start function. To start the UPS in absence of power supply and with a full battery, press the button.
7. Green Power Function
All iPEL is equipped with Green Power Function. If no load connects to the UPS, it will automatically shut down in 2 minutes for energy saving while power failure. The Power switch must be kept in the 'ON' position, otherwise, the UPS will be disabled and your equipment will not be protected during a power failure.

8. COMPUTER INTERFACE
The interface USB at the back of the UPS may be connected to the computer. This port enables the computer to control the UPS status. The main functions are as follows :
- Transmission of a visual alarm in case of power failure
Automatic file closure prior to battery running out
UPS shutdown
9. PROTECTION FAX/MODEM LINE
If you wish to protect a fax or a modem, connect the telephone cable from the wall outlet to the "IN" jack. Connect the telephone cable (provided) from the "OUT" jack to the fax or modem.
Caution: The telephone line current lightning feature could be rendered inoperable if improper installed. This surge protection device is for indoor use only and never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
Note: This connection is optional. It is not necessary to use this UPS.
10. BATTERY
The battery is the only UPS component which is not in permanent use. It has a product life of approximately 3 to 5 years. However, frequent major discharges or exposure to temperatures over 20^ will shorten its product life. We therefore recommend that users recharge the battery once every 3 months when the unit is not in use in order to compensate for natural discharging. UPS back-up functioning time will depend on the load powered, the age and the condition of the batteries.
WARNING!
Batteries should always be replaced by qualified technicians. Batteries have a very high short circuit current : connection errors could cause electric arcs resulting in serious burns.
11. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Should the UPS fail to function correctly we recommend you to perform the following tests before calling the After Sales Department.
