OPERATION
The SSG500
is very simple to use.
•
Be sure the power cord is plugged into the
nearest available, appropriately rated wall
outlet.
•
Activate the power switch to the “ON”
position.
•
The green AC light illuminates.
•
The green INV light illuminates.
Leave the power switch “ON” and unplug the
power cord from the wall. This will simulate a
power loss to test battery operation.
•
The green AC light will shut off.
•
An intermittent audible alarm will sound.
•
As time passes in this condition, the battery
discharges and when a low battery
condition is present, the beep rate
increases. The SSG500 will automatically
shut itself off to avoid excessive battery
discharge- When power returns, normal
operation of the UPS resumes without any
operator adjustment.
The duration of actual battery back-up time
and the low battery condition varies
depending on the amount of load, charge on
the battery, and condition of the battery. See
SPECIFICATIONS Section for approximate
hold-up times at 100% and 50% loads.
Plug the system power cord in again and turn
the power switch “OFF”.
Turn off the devices you wish to plug into the
UPS. Plug them into the outlets labeled UPS
OUTPUT at the rear of the SSG500.
•
Activate the SSG power switch to the “ON”
position.
•
Turn ON each of your devices.
If the UPS is overloaded it will beep at a 1one
beep per second rate and will shutdown after
10 seconds if the overload is not removed.
If the system overheats or the Inverter should
fail, the unit automatically transfers the load to
a filtered bypass line, sounds a continuous
alarm and the red ALM light will illuminate.
To escape this condition, the problem must
first be corrected then turn the UPS power
switch “OFF”, then back “ON”.
It is recommended that you leave the SSG
power switch “ON” at all times and switch
your devices off individually. This will insure
that your batteries are always fully charged.
The power switch acts as a system ON/OFF
switch. When this switch is turned “OFF”,
power is lost to the entire unit including all
outlets at the rear of the UPS, since the
battery circuit is also disabled. An optional
switch guard may be ordered for added
protection.
