FIRST START- UP
NOTE! Once unpacked, the appliance should be placed in its working location and
connected to the mains. Next, switch the power supply unit on by means of a switch
on the front panel in order to charge the batteries. The batteries will be fully charged
after approx. 10-48 h (depending on their capacity and existing charge); this fact will
be duly signalled by the diode. Now, you can proceed with the remaining installation
steps.
The batteries gain full efficiency after more or less one month of mains
operation and after three cycles of complete discharge and charging. In order to
verify whether the power supply unit is operating correctly, please perform the
following steps:
1. Install the power supply unit in the selected location (e.g. on a wall)
2. Connect the cables to the unit’s connectors and the module
3. Install the fuses in the sockets
4. Switch the power supply unit on by pressing the switch on the front panel. A
correctly operating the power supply unit, which is connected to a network with
the requisite supply parameters, will signal that it has been switched on by
emitting three sound signals, while the diode will flash three times. Now, you
should switch the protected device on.
In order to perform a test, switch the mains supply of the UPS off (e.g. on the
building’s switchboard) –the UPS should commence operation in battery mode,
while the protected device should function normally. This operating mode is signalled
by the simultaneous flashing of the red diode and an intermittent sound signal. If after
switching the mains supply on the diode starts to flash rapidly and an intermittent
sound signal is emitted, this means that the load connected to the unit is too great
(the power supply unit will operate for approx. 5 sec. and turn itself off). It will be
necessary to disconnect the excessive load.
5. Reconnect the mains supply –after approx. 3 sec., the diode will return to the
“continuous on” state. Once the unit resumes mains operation, the charging
circuit will top up the batteries; this will be signalled by the diode switching off
briefly, approx. every 2.5 seconds.
Please keep in mind that when the power supply unit is working in battery mode and
the red diode starts to flash and the sound signal becomes continuous, the device
will shut down in no more than 30 sec.
