1. Introduction
This UPS is specially designed for Personal Computer with multi-functions.
Its light weight, compact design perfect fits to the limited working
environment. The line of UPS is equipped with boost and buck AVR to
stabilize input voltage range. It is also built-in with DC start function.
This function enables the UPS to be started up without AC power supplied.
Although it’s a small UPS, it’s equipped with Smart RS-232
Communication Port to offer users more benefits. The download software
helps users monitor UPS inside status. The main features of PowerMust
400/600/800 USB UPS are listed below:

z Microprocessor control guarantees high reliability.

z Equipped with Boost and Buck AVR.
z Built-in RS-232/USB Communication Ports.
z Free Software (Please check Software Installation.)
z DC Start Function.
z Auto restart while AC recovery.
z Auto charging battery even though UPS is off.
z Provides AC overload protection.
z Provides Modem/Phoneline surge protection.

.
2. Safety – Caution
z This UPS utilizes voltages that may be hazardous. Do not attempt to
disassemble the unit. The unit contains no user serviceable parts.
Only factory service personnel may perform repairs.
z Internal battery voltage is 12Vdc.
z Connection to any other type of receptacle other than a two-pole,
three-wire grounded receptacle may result in shock hazard as well as
violate local electrical codes.
z In the event of an emergency, press the OFF button and disconnect
the power cord from the AC power supply to properly disable the
UPS.
z Do not allow liquids or any foreign object to enter the UPS. Do not
place beverages or any other liquid-containing vessels on or near the
unit.
z This unit intended for installation in a controlled environment
(temperature controlled, indoor area free of conductive contaminants).
Avoid installing the UPS in locations where there is standing or
running water, or excessive humidity.

z Do not plug the UPS input into its own output.
z Do not attach a power strip or surge suppressor to the UPS.
z Do not attach non-computer-related items, such as medical
equipment, life-support equipment, microwave ovens, or vacuum
cleaners to UPS
z To reduce the risk of overheating the UPS, do not cover the UPS’
cooling vents and avoid exposing the unit to direct sunlight or
installing the unit near heat emitting appliances such as space
heaters or furnaces.
z Unplug the UPS prior to cleaning and do not use liquid or spray
detergent.
z Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
z Do not open or mutilate the battery or batteries. Released electrolyte
is harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
z A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit
current. The following precautions should be observed when working
on batteries:
1) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects from the hands.
2) Use tools with insulated handles.
3) Wear rubber gloves and boots.
4) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
5) Disconnect charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting
batteries terminals.
z Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by
personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions.
Keep unauthorized personnel away from batteries.
z When replacing batteries, replace with the same number and type of
sealed lead-acid battery.
z This pluggable type A equipment with battery already installed by the
supplier is operator installable and may be operated by laymen.
z During the installation of this equipment it should be assured that the
sum of the leakage currents of the UPS and the connected loads
does not exceed 3.5mA
z Attention, hazardous through electric shock. Also with disconnection
of this unit from the mains, hazardous voltage still may be accessible
through supply from battery. The battery supply should be therefore
diconnected in the plus and minus pole at the connectors of the
battery when maintenance or service work inside the UPS is
necessary.
z The mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS shall be installed near
the UPS and shall be easily accessible.
