Battery Mode, Sleep Mode | Powerware UPS 1000

Battery Mode

When the UPS is operating during a power outage, the alarm beeps once every four

seconds and the indicator illuminates. When the utility power returns, the UPS switches to Normal mode operation while the battery recharges.

If battery capacity becomes low while in Battery mode, the indicator flashes and the alarm beeps twice every two seconds. Immediately complete and save your work to prevent data loss and similar difficulties. When utility power is restored after the UPS shuts down, the UPS automatically restarts.

Sleep Mode

If the UPS is on battery for approximately five minutes and supporting a small electrical load (≤ 10%), the UPS shuts down the load. After three minutes in Sleep mode, the UPS initiates a shutdown warning (two beeps every two seconds). This feature conserves battery power. To enable this feature, contact your service representative.
