AUTOMATIC VOLTAGE REGULATOR
The M550L/M750L/M1100XL stabilizes incon-
sistent utility power voltage to nominal levels
that aresafe for equipment. Inconsistent utility
power may be damaging to important data
files and hardware, but with Automatic Voltage
Regulation (AVR), damaging voltage levels
are corrected to safe levels. AVR automatically
increases low utility power and decreases high
utility power to a consistent and safe 120 volts.
DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS
OF YOUR EQUIPMENT
1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into
the UPS does not exceed the UPS unit’s
rated capacity. If the rated capacities of the
unit are exceeded, an overload condition
may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut
down or the circuit breaker to trip.
2. There are many factors that can aect
the amount of power that your electronic
equipment will require. For optimal system
performance keep the load below 80% of
the unit’s rated capacity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediate-
ly upon receipt. However, to ensure the
battery’s maximum charge capacity, it is
recommended that you charge the battery
for at least 16 hours. Your UPS is equipped
with an auto-charge feature. When the UPS
is plugged into an AC outlet, the battery
will automatically charge whether the UPS
is turned on or o.
Note: This UPS is designed with a safety
feature to keep the system from being
turned on during shipment. The first time
you turn the UPS on, you will need to have
it connected to AC power or it will not
power up.
2. With the UPS unit turned o and un-
plugged, connect your computer, monitor,
and any other peripherals requiring battery
backup into the battery power supplied
outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper
shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum,
sump pump or other large electrical devices
into the “Battery and Surge Protected
Outlets”. The power demands of these de-
vices may overload and damage the unit.
3. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded
receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall
branch outlet is protected by a fuse or
circuit breaker and does not service equip-
ment with large electrical demands (e.g.
air conditioner, copier, etc…). The warranty
prohibits the use of extension cords, outlet
strips, and surge strips.
4. Press the power switch to turn the unit
on. The Power On indicator will illuminate
and the unit will “beep”. If an overload is
detected, an audible alarm will sound and
the unit will emit one long beep. To correct
this, turn the UPS o and unplug at least
one piece of equipment from the battery
power supplied outlets. Make sure the
circuit breaker is depressed and then turn
the UPS on.
