STEP 2: Plug your equipment into the UPS.
Outlets marked BATTERY & SURGE offer UPS battery backup support during power failures. Connect
your vital computer equipment into these outlets.
Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total
volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment connected to the BATTERY/SURGE PROTECTED outlets
exceed the UPS output capacity. To find your equipment’s VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the
equipment is listed in amps (A), multiply the number of amps by 230 to determine VA. For example:
1A × 230 = 230VA. If you suspect you have overloaded the outlets, check Load Meter screens (see
Display UPS/Power Conditions in Basic Operation).
Use the two included cables
with Australia plugs to connect
equipment to the UPS.
For illustrative purposes only.
User must supply power cord and plug
that is compatible with power outlets used in that region.
