Low Battery Warning Level

By default, the low battery warning occurs when there are approximately two minutes of on-battery run time remaining. This may not be enough time to gracefully shut down some protected computer systems.

To change the warning interval, press the rear panel Sensitivity button while pressing and holding the front-panel on button.

2 min. Brightly lit: The low battery warning interval is approximately two minutes.

5 min. Dimly lit: The low battery warning interval is approximately five minutes.

7 min. Off: The low battery warning interval is approximately seven minutes.

On-Battery Operation

The Smart-UPS will switch to battery operation automatically should the utility power fail. While running on battery, an internal alarm will sound (periodic beeps). Press the on button, on the front panel, to silence the UPS alarm (for the current alarm only). The optional PowerChute software allows you to change the audible indicator.

If the utility power does not return, the UPS will continue supplying power to the connected equipment until exhausted. A continuous beeping will sound approximately two minutes before the UPS’s final low battery shutdown. If using a computer, you must manually save your files and power down before the UPS turns itself off, unless you are using optional PowerChute interface software that provides automatic, unattended shutdown.

Refer to On-Battery Run Time, page 20, for approximate run time data.
