Operating conditions

This product is an Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) for computers
and their peripherals, television sets,
stereo systems and video recorders...
It must not be used to supply other
electrical equipment (lighting, heating,
household appliances, etc.).
UPS can be installed in horizontal,
vertical position, or placed in Rack 2U
(optional kit).

UPS connections

Connect the UPS 1 to the AC-
power system via a wall outlet with an
earth connector, using the supplied
cord 2 for a UPS with FR/DIN
sockets or with the supply cord of
your computer for a UPS with IEC/
UNIVERSAL sockets (see figure A).
Plug critical equipment (computer,
monitor, modem, etc.) into the outlets
9 providing battery backup power
and surge protection (see figure B),
taking care not to exceed the rated
current indicated in amperes.
Other devices (printer, scanner, fax,
etc.) can be connect to the filtered
outlets 8 that provide surge
protection (see figure B). The filtered
outlets are not backed up by battery
power in the event of a power outage.
Optional Internet modem /
Network connection:
A modem or Ethernet data line can be
protected against surges by
connecting it via the UPS. Connect
the existing device cable between the
wall outlet and the UPS, and use a
similar cable between the UPS and
the device, as indicated in figure C
(cable 3 not supplied).
Optional COM connection:
The UPS devices with communication
(COM) sockets can be connected to
the computer using the special USB
or serial cable 6 supplied.
The software available on the CD-
ROM 7 (or downloadable from the
mgeops.com site) can be configured
to monitor the UPS and the supply of
power to the computer (see figures D
and F).
Follow the indicated procedure.
At the same time, register for the
warranty on the www.mgeops.com

Battery charge: The UPS charges
the battery as soon as it is connected
to the AC outlet, whether button 13
is pressed or not. When used for the
first time, the battery will only provide
its maximum autonomy after it has
been charged for 8 hours. It is
recommended that the UPS be
permanently connected to the AC
power supply to ensure the best
possible autonomy.
Switching-on the UPS: press
button 13 for about 1 second.
Filtered outlets 8 without
battery backup: Equipment
connected to these outlets is supplied
as soon as the AC cord 2 is
plugged in. They are not affected by
button 13 .
Battery backup outlets 9 :
Equipment connected to these outlets
is supplied as soon as button 13
turns green (see figure E). These
outlets can be turned on even if the
UPS is not connected to AC power
(button 13 flashes).
AC-power disturbance: If AC
power is disturbed or fails, the UPS
continues to operate on battery
13
power. Button 13 flashes green. In
12
normal mode, the audio alarm beeps
11 every ten seconds, then every three
seconds when the end of battery
10
backup time is near. In silent mode
(see the section on settings), the
audio alarm simply beeps once when
the UPS transfers to battery power.
If the power outage lasts longer than
the battery backup time, the UPS
shuts down and automatically restarts
when power is restored. Following a
complete discharge, a few hours are
required to recharge the battery back
to full backup time.
To save battery power, it is possible
to press button 13 to cut the supply
9
of power to the devices connected to
the battery backup outlets.
Lightning protection: All outlets,
8
whether backed up or simply filtered,
include surge protection, whatever
14
the position of button 13 .
Shutdown of the battery backup
outlets 9 : Press button 13 for
8
more than two seconds.
Battery disposal and
safety
Caution. Battery service life is
reduced by 50% for every ten
9 degrees above 25°C.
The battery elements must be
replaced exclusively by qualified
personnel (risk of electrocution),
14
with new elements approved by MGE
Office Protection Systems to ensure
correct operation of the UPS.
The battery must be disposed of in
accordance with applicable
regulations. To remove the battery
elements, shut down the UPS (button
13 OFF), remove the power cord and
proceed as indicated in page 4
"Battery change".
Warning: take care not to inverse
the polarity + (red) and - (black)
when connecting the batteries as
this will destroy the device.
