Need to buy a UPS. Thinking of this one.

Has anyone bought this very UPS from primeabgb? I don't want the input connections to be like they have shown in the image. I want normal input board. Where to buy?

The connections you want (normal plugs) is available. But do make sure you talk to them precisely about that model before they ship it. Rest assured that model does exist, I just bought for me today.

I think I will buy locally. Rs. 650 extra for shipping.

It is DAMN heavy. Plugs are rounded for India.

yup. Shipping is a downer always for big stuff.

Bought it locally. Unboxed it, plugged in and it won't turn on. No LED, no sound, nothing. I have been charging it since past 1.5 hours. Is it defective or needs hours and hours of charging before it works?

The LED does not tun on while charging, it will only light up with beep when ups is turned on by pressing the switch for a second.

You should charge it for 10hrs before using for first time.


PS: Due to safety reason, ups ships with battery disconnected, to use it open the battery compartment, and connect the open wire with the batt terminal by sliding it in, then put the battery in the case. The shops do this for the customers, usually.

Normal, happens due to potential, do not touch the open wire or terminal, ignore the sparks, just plug it in.

Just connect the red wires to the "red area". Just be careful. Ignore it.

^^
there is no red area. no signs nothing. i don't know which side to connect.

Follow manual?

Ok, got it working. There was no manual, just installation guide that just had meanings of LED colors. Thanks everyone.

Anyone who has this model, did you receive CD or manual with it?

No CD. No manual. I needed the customer care to knock sense onto me.
