QUICK SETUP GUIDE
1 Power indicator Indicates that utility power is normal and the UPS outlets are providing power free of surges and spikes. 2 LCD display toggle/selected switch Use to select the LCD mode, which can display input voltage, output voltage, and estimated run time (on battery power). The toggle frequency is set to once a second. Holding the switch for more than two seconds while the UPS is running on battery power silences the warning buzzer.
3 Power switch Turns the UPS on or off. 4 Display A high-resolution, intelligent LCD that shows all UPS status information using icons and messages. For more information, see “LCD indicators” on Page 2. 5 Networking line surge protection jacks Protect any standard modem, fax, or telephone line. 6 Electrical wiring fault indicator Indicates a wiring problem, such as a bad or missing ground. If this indicator is on, disconnect all electrical equipment from the outlet and have an electrician verify that the outlet is correctly wired. The UPS provides surge protection only while plugged into a grounded and properly wired power outlet. 7 Battery- and surge-protected outlets (x6) Six battery-powered/surge-protected outlets to ensure temporary, uninterrupted operation of your equipment during a power failure. 8 Coax/Cable/DSS surge protection jacks (x2) Protect any cable modem, cable converter, or satellite receiver. 9 USB port Provides a connection to the computer, allowing the UPS to work with the power management applications provided by Windows Vista and Windows 7, Mac OS X, and Linux. 10Light On/Off button (RF-1025VA only) Turns the utility light on and off. 11Surge-protected outlets (x2) Two surge-protected-only outlets. 12Circuit breaker Provides overload and fault protection.
Installing your UPS 1 Plug your UPS into a power outlet. Charge for at least 8 hours before performing a self test. PLUG IN 2 Turn off and unplug the UPS, then connect your computer, monitor, and any other peripherals requiring battery backup into the battery power-supplied outlets. 3 Plug the other peripheral equipment (such as scanners and speakers) into the full-time surge protection outlets. Do not plug a laser printer, paper shredder, copier, space heater, vacuum, sump pump, or other large electrical device into the Battery- and Surge-Protected Outlets. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the UPS. IN 4 To protect a network connection from surges, connect a network cable into the IN jack of the UPS, then connect a network cable from the OUT jack on the UPS to the OUT network device. 5 Plug the UPS into a 2-pole, 3-wire grounded power outlet. Make sure that the power outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands (such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and copy machines). The use of extension cords, outlet strips, and surge strips will void your warranty. 6 Press the power switch to turn on the UPS. The power indicator light turns on and the UPS beeps twice.
Using your UPS When connecting equipment to your UPS, always make sure that you do not overload the UPS. • Make sure that the equipment plugged into the UPS does not exceed the UPS rated capacity (450W for RF-825VA, 600W for RF-1025VA). If the rated capacities of the UPS are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS to shut down or the circuit breaker to trip. • If you connect a computer to the UPS, remember that many factors can affect the computer’s power requirements. For optimal system performance, keep the load below 80% of the UPS rated capacity. • If an electrical overload is detected, an alarm sounds and the UPS emits one long beep. To correct this, turn off the UPS and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power-supplied outlets. Make sure that the circuit breaker is on, then turn on the UPS.
Maintaining your UPS • To maintain optimal battery charge, always leave the UPS plugged into an AC power outlet. • To store the UPS for an extended time, cover it and store it with the battery fully charged. While in storage, the battery should be recharged every three months to ensure optimal battery life.
Replacing the battery • Warning: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. When replacing batteries, replace only with batteries of the same part number. For RF-825VA, use battery HR1234W. 12V, maximum 8.5 Ampere hour. For RF-1025VA, use battery HR9-12. 12V, maximum 9 Ampere hour. • Electrical shock hazard. Before replacing batteries, remove conductive jewelry such as chains, wrist watches, and rings. High energy through conductive materials can cause severe burns. • To avoid electric shock, when replacing a battery you must use a screwdriver to remove the battery cover screws. You also must close the battery compartment using a screwdriver to tighten the screws. • Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode and can cause injury. • Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released material is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic. • Batteries are considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of correctly. Most retailers that sell lead-acid batteries (such as those used in your UPS) collect used batteries for recycling, as required by local regulations. To replace the battery: 1 Turn off and unplug all connected equipment, then unplug the UPS from the AC power source. 2 Turn the UPS upside down. 3 Remove the four battery cover screws using a screwdriver, then remove the battery cover. 4 Remove the battery. 5 Disconnect the battery wires from the battery. 6 Connect the red and black wires of the UPS to the same color wires on the new battery. 7 Insert the battery into the battery compartment. 8 Replace the battery cover, then tighten the battery cover screws using a screwdriver.. 9 Recharge the UPS for 8-16 hours to fully charge the battery.

GreenPower UPS™ technology Advanced, energy-saving, patented bypass technology: Patented GreenPower UPS with Bypass Technology reduces UPS energy costs by up to 75% compared to conventional UPS models. Even when utility power is normal, conventional UPS models constantly pass power through a transformer. By contrast, under normal conditions the advanced circuitry of a GreenPower UPS bypasses the transformer. As a result, the power efficiency is significantly increased while decreasing waste heat, using less energy, and reducing energy costs. When an abnormal power condition occurs, the GreenPower UPS automatically runs power through its transformer to regulate voltage and provides “safe” power. Since utility power is normal over 88% of the time, the GreenPower UPS operates primarily in its efficient bypass mode. The GreenPower UPS is also manufactured in accordance with the Restriction on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, making it one of the most environmentally friendly UPS devices on the market today.
