Installation 14
• Plug the input line cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is installed
near the equipment and is easily accessible.
• Do not disable the grounding plug on the input line cord. The grounding plug is an
important safety feature.
• Do not use extension cords.
1. Connect the input power cord from an intended load device to the IEC-320-C14 input power
receptacle on the UPS rear panel (INTL model only).
2. Connect the UPS power cord to a grounded utility power outlet. When the UPS is plugged in, the
batteries begin to charge and the output receptacles designated for surge-only protection provide
power (NA/JPN model only). Power to the output receptacles designated for surge and battery
backup is not available until the unit is powered up.
Connecting devices to the UPS
CAUTION: Do not plug laser printers into the UPS output receptacles designated for battery backup
protection. The instantaneous current drawn by this type of printer can overload the UPS. Connect all heavy-
draw devices to the output receptacles designated for surge-only protection (NA/JPN model only).
Before connecting devices, verify that the UPS will not overload by checking that the ratings of the devices
do not exceed the UPS capacity. If the equipment rating is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by
120 to determine the VA.
After verifying that the UPS will not overload:
• Connect the device power cords to the output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS (NA/JPN
model).
-or-
• Connect devices to the output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS using the jumper cords
included with the UPS (INTL model).
Charging the UPS batteries
Allow the batteries to charge before putting the UPS into service.
IMPORTANT: Charge the batteries for at least 24 hours before supplying backup power to devices. The
batteries charge to:
• 90% of their capacity within 4 hours
• 100% of their capacity within 24 hours
