Connection

Model SU8000RT4U has a hardwire input instead of an input cord/plug.

Remove the circular knockouts to route the input cabling to the AC input

terminal block. Unscrew and remove the utility input terminal block cover

to access the AC input terminals. Review the hardwiring cautions below

before attempting to connect the UPS input.

Hardwiring Cautions (Model SU8000RT4U Only)

• Wiringmustbedonebyaqualifiedelectrician.

• When making wiring connections, observe the cable connection regulations

 appropriatetoyourarea[e.g.NationalElectricalCode(NEC)intheU.S.]atall

 times.Besuretoinstallaneasilyaccessibledisconnectswitchinyourinstallation

 wiring so you may cut off the AC input of the UPS during fires and other

 emergencies.Ensurethatcablesarefittedwithcablesleevesandaresecuredby

 connectorclamps.Tightenconnectionswithatorqueofnotlessthan24-28inch-

 pounds(2.7-3.2NM).

• Makesurethatyourequipmentisproperlygrounded.

• Usingcablesofimpropersizemaydamageyourequipmentandcausefirehazards.

 Choose appropriate cabling andprotection circuits to make wiringconnections.

 Groundconductorsmustbethesamesizeandtypeasthepowerconductorsused.

• Refer to National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines for properwire gauge and

 outputprotectioncircuitrequirements.

Plug your equipment into your UPS.

YourUPSisdesignedtosupportelectronicequipmentonly.YouwilloverloadyourUPS

if the total VA rating for all the equipment you connect exceeds the UPS's Output

Capacity.DonotconnecthouseholdappliancesorlaserprinterstotheUPS'soutlets.To

findyourequipment'sVAratings,lookontheirnameplates.Iftheequipmentislistedin

amps, multiply the number of amps by the input voltage (208V, 240V or 120V) to

determineVA.(Example:1amp×120V=120VA).

Note: UPS system will function properly upon initial startup; however, maximum runtime

for the unit’s battery will only be accessible after it has been charged for 24 hours.

To Turn the UPS System OFF: PresstheUPS's“OFF”Buttonuntilyouhearabeep.

TheLCDDisplaywillshow“BYPASSMODE.”TheUPSwillcontinuetoautomatically

UPS,unplugtheUPS'slinecordwhentheUPSsystemisinbypassmode.

Note: The output voltage is set at 208/120V~ when the UPS is shipped from the factory. If you need to change

the output voltage of the UPS, refer to “Output Voltage Selection” in the “Operation” section. You should select

the correct output voltage before connecting your equipment to the UPS.

Plug your UPS's line cord into an electrical outlet.

YourUPSmustbeconnectedtoadedicatedcircuitofsufficientamperage.

Note! After you connect the UPS to a live AC power source, the UPS (in “STANDBY

MODE”) will automatically charge its batteries, but will not supply power to its

outlets until it is turned on.
