4.7 Charge the battery<br />
The <strong>UPS</strong> charges its battery whenever it is connected to utility power. For best results, charge the battery for<br />
4 hours before use. It is acceptable to use the <strong>UPS</strong> without first charging the battery, but on-battery run<br />
time may be reduced until the battery charges.<br />
4.8 Connect the Loads<br />
Plug the loads into the output connectors on the rear of the <strong>UPS</strong>. To use the <strong>UPS</strong> as a master on/off switch,<br />
make sure that all of the loads are switched on.<br />
Caution: Caution: Do not connect a laser printer to the <strong>UPS</strong> along with other computer equipment unless the <strong>UPS</strong> is<br />
rated 1400 VA. A laser printer periodically draws significantly more power than when idle, and may overload<br />
the <strong>UPS</strong>. Verify that the <strong>UPS</strong> can support the loads when the printer is in full operation (printing).<br />
Test the system with all loads operating to make sure that the <strong>UPS</strong> is not overloaded. See section 6.2.<br />
4.9 Check the Site Wiring Fault Indicator<br />
After plugging in the loads and the <strong>UPS</strong>, check the site wiring fault indicator on the rear panel. See section<br />
3.2 for the location of the indicator on the back panel. It lights if the <strong>UPS</strong> is plugged into an improperly<br />
wired AC power outlet. Wiring faults detected include missing ground, hot-neutral polarity reversal, and<br />
overloaded neutral circuit.<br />
Caution: Caution: If the <strong>UPS</strong> indicates a site wiring fault, get a qualified electrician to correct the building wiring.<br />
4.10 Plug and Play<br />
This <strong>UPS</strong> provides optional Plug and Play installation with those computers and operating systems that<br />
support it. If you have purchased a Plug and Play <strong>UPS</strong>, a software and cable package will be included with<br />
the unit. See the documentation included in the package for more information.<br />
