INSTALL SOFTWARE ON
COMPUTER

There are four status indicators (lights) on the front
panel of the Back-UPS (On Line, On Battery, Overload,
and Replace Battery).

On Line (green)

- is lit whenever utility power is

powering the Battery Backup outlets.

On Battery (yellow)

- is lit whenever the battery of

the Back-UPS is powering equipment connected to the
Battery Backup Outlets.

Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds

- this alarm is

sounded whenever the Back-UPS is running On
Battery. Consider saving work in progress.

Overload (red)

- is lit whenever power demand has

exceeded the capacity of the Back-UPS.

Continuous Tone

- this alarm is sounded

whenever the Battery Backup outlets are
overloaded.

Circuit Breaker

- the circuit breaker button

located on the rear panel of the Back-UPS will
stick out if an overload condition forces the Back-
UPS to disconnect itself from utility power. If the
button sticks out, disconnect non-essential
equipment. Reset the circuit breaker by pushing
the button inward.

Replace Battery (red)

- is lit whenever the battery is

near the end of its useful life, or if the battery is not con-
nected (see above). A battery that is near the end of its use-
ful life has insufficient run-time and should be replaced.

Chirps for 1 Minute Every 5 Hours

- this

alarm is sounded whenever the battery has failed
the automatic diagnostic test.

Note: Allow the Back-UPS to charge for a full
eight (8) hours prior to use.

Press the front panel Power ON/OFF switch and
observe that the following events occur after
pressing and releasing the switch:

• The green On Line indicator flashes.
• The yellow On Battery indicator lights while

a Self-Test is being performed.

• When Self-Test has successfully completed,

only the green On Line indicator will be lit.

• If the internal battery cartridge is not

connected (see Step 2 above), the green On
Line indicator and red Replace Battery
indicators will light. The Back-UPS will also
emit a chirping sound.

Continuous Beeping

- this alarm is sounded

whenever a low battery condition is reached.
Battery run-time is very low. Promptly save any
work in progress and exit all open applications.
Shutdown the operating system, computer and
the Back-UPS.

If Autoplay is not enabled on the computer, proceed
as follows:

1. On the computer desktop of the display, double-

click on My Computer.

2. Double-click on the CD-ROM drive icon and

follow the on-screen instructions.

If the rear panel Building Wiring Fault (red)
indicator is lit, a potential shock hazard exists
due to one of the following conditions:
• Open or high resistance ground
• Hot or neutral polarity reversed
• Overloaded neutral circuit

Improper building wiring should be
corrected by a qualified electrician. Do not
use the Back-UPS until the condition that
caused the fault is corrected.
Note

: Improper building wiring will not

prevent the Back-UPS from operating, but it
will limit its protection capability.
