| overload occurs on the UPS output, for maintenance or in the event of a malfunction. |
ECO mode | Operating mode by which the equipments are supplied directly by the AC source if it is within the |
| tolerances defined by the user. This mode reduces the consumption of electrical power. |

| (50 Hz |
| This is a |
| action in light of the imminent break in the supply of power to the load. |

| Transfer of the equipments to the manual bypass enables UPS maintenance without interrupting |
| the supply of power to the connected equipments. |
Normal AC source | Normal source of power for the UPS. |
Normal (double | The normal UPS operating mode in which the AC source supplies the UPS which in turn supplies |
conversion) mode | the connected equipments (after electronic double conversion). |
Personalisation | It is possible to modify certain UPS parameters set in the factory. Certain UPS functions can also |
| be modified by the MGE UPS SYSTEMS power management products to better suit user needs. |
Programmable | These outlets can be automatically shut down during operation on battery power (shutdown time |
outlets | delays can be programmed with the MGE UPS SYSTEMS power management products). The |
