IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Please read prior to installation)
This manual contains important instructions that should be followed during installation and maintenance of the F1500-UPS and
batteries.
Please read and follow all instructions carefully during installation and operation of the unit. Read this manual thoroughly before
attempting to unpack, install, or operate.
CAUTION! The F1500-UPS must be connected to an AC power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protection.
DO NOT plug the machine into an outlet that is not grounded, or without GFCI protection if it is plugged into an isolation trans-
former. If you need to de-energize this equipment, turn off and unplug the F1500-UPS.
CAUTION! DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT! Furman does not sell products for life support or
medical applications. DO NOT use in any circumstance that would affect operation or safety of any life support equipment, with
any medical applications, or patient care.
CAUTION! The battery can energize hazardous live parts inside even when the AC input power is disconnected.
CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area, free of con-
ductive contaminants. (Please see specifications for acceptable temperature and humidity range).
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. No user serviceable parts inside. (only qualified service
professionals should replace the battery pack).
CAUTION! To avoid electrical shock, turn off the unit and unplug it from the AC power source before installing a component.
CAUTION! DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS! To reduce the risk of fire, do not use with or near aquariums. Condensa-
tion from the aquarium can come in contact with metal current contacts and cause the machine to short out.
NOTE: AC Power management devices, such as a UPS, have certain limitations with regard to reactive loads and wattage. The
F1500-UPS has a handling capacity of 1500VA or approximately 7.5 amps. Excessive power consumption beyond these specifi-
cations can affect battery life and performance.
INSTALLATION
Your new F1500-UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the battery for at least six to eight hours is
recommended to insure that the battery's maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur during shipping and
storage. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the ON as well as the
OFF position. If you wish to use the software, connect the enclosed USB cable to the USB port on the F1500-UPS and an open
USB port on the computer or server.
DO NOT plug a space heater, vacuum cleaner, paper shredder or other large electrical device into the F1500-UPS. The power
demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
Plug the F1500-UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle. Make sure the wall branch outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit
breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands (e. g. refrigerator, copier, etc.) Avoid using extension
cords. If used, the extension cord must be UL or CSA Listed, minimum 14 AWG, 3-wire grounded, and rated for 15 Amps.
The F1500-UPS will automatically charge the battery whenever it is plugged into an AC outlet. To maintain optimal battery
charge, leave the F1500-UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
NOTE: To store your F1500-UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the battery
every three months to ensure battery life.
