Storage

For SmartPro Models Only: CAUTION! Your UPS has an internal power source. Its outlets

may still deliver current, even after the UPS is unplugged, until the UPS is completely turned

OFF (deactivated). Before storing your UPS, turn it completely OFF: with the UPS ON and

receiving utility power, press and hold the POWER button for one second (an alarm will beep

once briefly after the interval has passed); then, unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. If you

store your UPS for an extended period of time, recharge the UPS batteries once every three

months: plug the UPS into a wall outlet; allow it to charge for 12 hours; and then unplug it and

place it back in storage. Note: after you plug the UPS in, it will automatically begin charging its

batteries; however, it will not supply power to its outlets (see Quick Installation section). If you

leave your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent

loss of capacity.

For OmniSmart Models Only: All connected equipment should be turned off, then disconnected

from the UPS to avoid battery drain. Unplug your UPS from its AC receptacle. CAUTION:

Your UPS has an internal power source. Its outlets may still deliver current after it is

unplugged, until the UPS is deactivated. To deactivate the UPS, press and hold its

UPS/STANDBY button. Your UPS is now ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS

for an extended period of time, fully recharge the UPS batteries once every three months by

plugging the UPS into a live AC outlet and letting the UPS charge for 12 hours. If you leave

your UPS batteries discharged for an extended period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss

of capacity.

Storage & Service

Power Sensitivity Adjustment (Select Models Only): This dial is

normally set fully counterclockwise, which enables the UPS to pro-

tect against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distor-

tion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing PWM sine

wave power from its battery reserves for as long as the 

distortion is present. In areas with poor utility power or where the

UPS’s input power comes from a backup generator, chronic waveform

distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too frequently,

draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your

UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion by experiment-

ing with different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clock-

wise, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input

power’s AC waveform. NOTE: The further the dial is adjusted clock-

wise, the greater the degree of waveform distortion the UPS will

allow to pass to connected equipment. When experimenting with dif-

ferent settings for this dial, operate connected equipment in a safe test

mode so that the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions

in the UPS’s output can be evaluated without disrupting critical oper-
