an electrician to insure outlet is properly wired.

Unsafe Voltage Indicator

This LED will illuminate to inform the user that an unsafe line voltage is present and that the UPS has switched to battery power. This could be either an over-voltage or under-voltage.

Battery Level Indicator

This is a visual indication of the battery charge. If battery capac- ity is under 25%, no indicator LED will illuminate and UPS starts beeping (if the audible alarm is enabled).

Load Level Indicator

This is a visual indication of the UPS load.

The 1st arrow will illuminate when the load is above 25%, the 2nd above 50% and the 3rd above 75%. The 4th arrow will flash when the load is between 85% and 100%.

Battery Mode Indicator

This illuminates during utility failure or an unsafe voltage condition, indicating that the battery is supplying power to the connected equipment.

AVR Indicator

This indicates that the UPS is operating in automatic voltage regulation mode. When the led is illu- minated continuously, it indicates an input over-voltage and the UPS unit reduces (bucks) the volt- age to the normal operating range. When the led is flashing, it indicates that the input line voltage is low and that the UPS is increasing (boosts) input voltage to the normal range.

REAR PANEL DESCRIPTION

Non-Critical-Load Outlets

Four battery powered, surge protected and AVR outlets for connected equipment insures temporary uninterrupted oper- ation of connected equipment during a power failure.

Critical Load Outlets

Two battery powered, surge protected and AVR outlets for critical-load equipment insures temporary uninter- rupted operation of connected equipment during a power failure.
