Using the Monitor Panel
5.5 Reading the Status Indicators
The six symbols on the left side of the monitor panel are status indicators. They are backlit by colored light emitting diodes (LEDs), and they work in conjunction with the alarm horn to let you know the operating status of the UPS.
Indicator | Indicator | Description |
Symbol | Name |
|
| Normal | This green symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Normal mode. |
|
| The PPU is supplying power to the critical load. |
| Battery | This yellow symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Battery mode. |
|
| Because Battery mode is a normal condition of the UPS, the Normal |
|
| indicator also remains lit. |
| Bypass | This yellow symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Bypass mode. |
|
| The critical load is supported by the bypass source. The Normal |
|
| indicator is not lit when the system is in Bypass mode. |

|
| screen shows all active notices. Some notices may be accompanied by |
|
| an audible horn. To silence the horn, press the and buttons |
|
| simultaneously. The Notice indicator may be lit along with other |
|
| indicators. |
| Alarm | This red symbol is lit when a situation requires immediate attention. |
|

|
| accompanied by an audible horn. To silence the horn, press the |
|
| and buttons simultaneously. The Alarm indicator may be lit along |
|
| with other indicators. |
| Standby | This yellow symbol is lit when electricity is present in the PPU of the |
|
| UPS and the Normal indicator is not lit. During normal startup, this |
|
| indicator illuminates until the the UPS transfers to Normal mode, at |
|
| which point the Normal indicator is lit. During normal shutdown, the |
|
| Standby indicator is lit until all energy in the UPS is dissipated and |
|
| shutdown is complete. |

buttons simultaneously for three seconds. All the indicators should illuminate while you hold down these buttons. If any indicator does not illuminate, its LED may need to be replaced. Contact your Eaton service representative if you have a problem with the indicator LEDs.
