SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS: This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and its batteries.

  1. This unit is intended for installation in a controlled environment (a temperature-controlled and indoor area free of conductive contaminants). Please avoid installing the UPS in locations where there is standing or running water, dust, direct sunlight or excessive humidity.
  2. This UPS utilizes voltage that may be hazardous. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit. Only factory service personnel may perform repairs.
  3. Connect your UPS directly to a properly-grounded AC power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection. Do not plug the unit into an outlet that is not grounded. Turn off and unplug the unit if you need to de-energize it.
  4. Not for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment, ANSI/NFPA 75.
  5. To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to a circuit provided with 20 amperes maximum branch circuit over current protection in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
  6. For best performance, keep the indoor temperature around the unit between 32^ F and 104^ (0^ and 40^)
  7. Do not attach medical equipment or non-computer related items, such as life-support equipment, microwave ovens, or vacuum cleaners to the UPS. bXterra does not sell equipment meant for life-support or medical applications. Visit our website for more information about devices appropriate to plug into this UPS.
  8. Only stand or set up the UPS in the direction specified in the Installation and Operation section of this manual. Do not block fans and leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation. Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight and do not install the unit near heat-emitting appliances such as a space heater or furnace. This could negatively impact the unit's internal cooling system and cause product

damage not covered under warranty.

  1. Do not plug the UPS input into its own output. Do not attach a power strip or surge protector to the UPS.
  2. Do not modify the UPS's plug and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS's ground connection.
  3. Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet.
  4. If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output. Consult your generator's manual to see if it meets these specifications.
  5. The main power outlet that supplies the UPS should be easily accessible and near the UPS.
  6. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not use the unit on any transportation such as airplanes or ships. The effect of shock or vibration caused during transit and the damp environment can cause the unit to short out.

BATTERYWARNINGS:

Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions. When replacing batteries, replace with the same type and number of batteries or battery packs. CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.

CAUTION: Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolytes are harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.

CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock.

The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:

a) Remove watches, rings or other metal objects
b) Use tools with insulated handles
c) Wear rubber gloves and boots
d) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CONTINUED

INSPECTION

Inspect your UPS upon purchase. The following items should be inside:

UPS System User Manual USB A+B Type Cable

Remove the UPS from its package and inspect it for damage that may have occurred during shipping. If any damage is discovered, re-pack the unit and return it to the place of purchase.

Determine the Power Requirements of Your Equipment

  1. To determine the power requirements of your equipment, ensure that the equipment plugged into the outlet does not exceed the UPS's rated capacity. If the rated capacity of the unit is exceeded, the UPS may overload and shut down or the circuit breaker may trip.
  2. There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your equipment will require. We suggest that the load placed on the battery outlets not exceed 80% of the UPS's capacity.

CONNECT TO UTILITY POWER

Connect the AC power cord to utility power. The UPS will start to charge its internal battery. For best results, charge the battery for six hours prior to initial use. When the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery will automatically charge whether the UPS is turned on or not.

PLUG IN EQUIPMENT

Battery Backup Outlets

With the UPS turned off and unplugged, connect equipment requiring battery backup to the "Battery Backup" outlets. These outlets

provide battery backup, EMI filtering, line conditioning, and surge protection. Battery power is automatically provided in case of power failure.

Surge Protected Outlets

Connect other devices requiring surge protection to the "Surge Protected" outlets. These outlets do not provide power during power failure.

DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum cleaner, sump pump or other large electrical device into the UPS. The power requirements of these devices will overload and possibly damage the UPS.

Connect Modem/Phone Line

This UPS protects a single line (1 in/1 out) phone, modem, or fax machine from surges. To protect a fax machine, phone or modem, connect a telephone or network cable from the wall jack outlet to the IN jack of the UPS. Connect a telephone cable or network cable from the OUT jack of the UPS to a fax machine, telephone, modem or network device.

TURN THE UPS ON

To turn on the UPS unit, press the power switch for at least two seconds. The LED indicators will light up. If an overload is detected, the UPS will turn off and the unit will beep continuously. To fix this, turn the UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power-supplied outlets. Make sure the Circuit Breaker button is depressed and turn the UPS on again. To turn off the UPS unit, press the power switch again. The LED light will turn off.

MUTE ON/OFF

Press the mute button to turn an alarm on or off. For more information about the mute button, please refer to the LED indicators.

INSTALL SOFTWARE

Connect one end of the USB cable to a PC and the other end to the USB port at the rear of the UPS.

Download the latest version of PowerFrame™ software from www.bxterra.com to your hard drive. Follow on-screen instructions to complete the software installation.

For optimal battery charge, always leave the UPS plugged into the AC outlet.

To store the UPS for an extended period of time, cover the unit and fully charge the battery before disconnecting from AC power. While in storage, recharge the battery every three months to prolong optimal battery life.
