How do I connect the regulator using a UPS?Connect to a120V wall outlet, then connect the UPS to the regulator and then connect my A/V to regulator?

Looking at the manual there is no specific outlet for a UPS. There are 4 outlets. One is by itself for a block transformer you usually see like for home routers or stuff like that. Other than that there is no indication on what outlet to use for a UPS.

I use a generic one, with interchangeable connection pins and variable voltage (but fixed 3A). Set it to 9V, center pin positive connection, and you're ready to go. I'm pretty sure you can find one here.

You have to have your "load" connected first, otherwise the amps will remain at zero. By load I mean whatever it is you're trying to power. First connect your load, then turn the voltage all the way up, turn the amps all the way down, and turn on the power switch. Then slowly turn up the amps, then slowly turn down the volts to desired volt settings. Again, you have to have connected whatever it is you're trying to power to power first. I know, it doesn't make sense, but that's how it works. It threw me for a loop when I first got mine too.

It only shows runtime, load capacity and voltage. For watts you should look into a kill-a-watt device like this one: http://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU I have one of those and it works great. Plug it in before the unit, then plug the unit into it and you will have the watt display of the whole ups.

Anything that takes voltage can be connected to a wall switch.. and yes, i connected mine to a wall switch. just leave nob in on position and use wall switch to turn off/on... only negative is you wont be able to change settings (low/high) on wall switch. That didnt matter to me.. even less so when "low" stopped working on me :(

Craig Roberts is wrong. All consumer UPS's run off the line voltage with a small bank stored to run the AVR if they have automatic voltage regulation. You need serious electrical horsepower to charge the batteries and run the unit as the batteries are being charged. That means very pricey pro gear not under a grand.

Make sure you have it plugged into the battery side of the UPS and not just the surge side. The drive bay doesn't care what kind of UPS it's plugged into.

I found this link on Instructables to make a high efficiency voltage regulator that will give you more power to charge and operate things. It's a little bit more complex, but there are schematics and step by step directions. You could probably make it with a trip to Radio Shack or an order from one of the online electronics suppliers (Digi Key, Newark, etc.)http://bit.ly/1CJj3CAI'll try to make one because I ride a ton at night and this time of year it's dark a lot.

Just change the plug to a110 volt plug make sure it can handle the amps it will pull when hooked to 110

It does not. You can add a UPS, but you need a hefty one to sustain the current flow. I have a device that will measure wattage if you would like, I can hook it up to my Rinnai?

Not sure I understand what the problem is. This monitor runs by a power supply which can be plugged into a UPS like any other 120VAC device.

All i do is plug it into a wall outlet, what alternative way are you looking for?

Not sure about that Enoch. What I can tell you is that several of the circuits in the house have electronics (Flat panel TV's, AV receivers, computers etc) as well as UPS units. When I first tested the unit, it worked fine but the UPS units went crazy - beeping and b*tching about the auxiliary power. I checked the output using a KILL-A-WATT meter (great investment, by the way) and found that the cycle (Hz) was running a bit low (like ~59.something). You can adjust the Hz by adjusting the idle/governor (do a Google search on this unit). I put a load on the generator and adjusted the idle/governor to remain as close to 60.0 Hz as possible and no more problems. None! We recently had an outage and had the generator on line for about 4 hours. Not one peep out of the UPS nor did we notice anything unusual on the computers or television. My original opinion of this generator remains the same. It is a great value for the price and provides us with all the power we need during outages.

I attached mine to an aux. DC adapter and just plugged it into one of the aux. ports in the power center. works great!

Why wouldn't you connect the generator to the proper ground? Forget the UPS, it is a safety concern. As for charging the APC UPS - I do have a Back-UPS Pro 900 and it is happy with the power this generator is providing, however I can not guarantee that it is will work in your case as it is running at 240V and my circuit is properly grounded.

I have mine connected to a UPS as well but haven't had that problem. We don't many power failures here but I suspect something else is going on in your situation. Maybe your UPS is not continually providing power to the Mediasonic unit during the line to battery switchover. I would try pulling the wall power with a meter connected to the UPS outlet to see if there is a momentary loss of power. That's all it would take to shut the unit down.

That's what I've got it plugged into. Works great (for the power consumption - I only have a 300W supply)!
