Indicator Lights (Front Panel)
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet and turned ON.
POWER: Lights green when the UPS is receiving AC power. Illuminates con- stantly when the UPS is in the ON mode, indicating that batteries are charging and connected equipment is receiving filtered AC power. Flashes while in STANDBY mode to indicate that batteries are charging but connected equip- ment is not receiving power.
VOLTAGE CORRECTION: Lights green whenever your UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC line voltage. The UPS will also click gently. These are normal, automatic operations of your UPS, and no action is required on your part.
BATTERY CHARGE: This multicolored light displays 7 separate UPS battery charge conditions. It will turn from red (low) to yellow (medium) to green (full) to show you the level of battery charge. If the light is constant, your UPS is in the ON or STANDBY mode, operating from line power, and the battery is charging. If the light is flashing, your UPS is in the INVERT mode, operating from battery, and the battery is discharging. If the light is flashing red, your UPS is in INVERT and is nearly out of power: you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately.
OUTPUT LOAD: This multicolored light shows how heavy your UPS’s load is. Steady green indicates a light load, steady yellow a medium load.

Immediately remove load from the UPS until the light stops flashing.
