If the rear panel Building Wiring Fault (red) indicator is lit, a potential shock hazard exists due to one of the following conditions:

Open or high resistance ground

Hot or neutral polarity reversed

Overloaded neutral circuit

Improper building wiring should be corrected by a qualified electrician. Do not use the Back-UPS until the condition that caused the fault is corrected.

Note: Improper building wiring will not prevent the Back-UPS from operating, but it will limit its protection capability.

8SWITCH ON THE BACK-UPS

Note: Allow the Back-UPS to charge for a full eight (8) hours prior to use.

Press the front panel Power ON/OFF switch and observe that the following events occur after pressing and releasing the switch:

• The green On Line indicator flashes.

The yellow On Battery indicator lights while a Self-Test is being performed.

When Self-Test has successfully completed, only the green On Line indicator will be lit.

If the internal battery cartridge is not connected (see Step 1 above), the green On Line indicator and red Replace Battery indicators will light. The Back-UPS will also emit a chirping sound.

There are four status indicators (lights) on the front panel of the Back-UPS (On Line, On Battery, Overload, and Replace Battery).

On Line

On Battery

Overload

Replace Battery

On Line (green) - is lit whenever utility power is powering the Battery Backup outlets.

On Battery (yellow) - is lit whenever the battery of the Back-UPS is powering equipment connected to the Battery Backup Outlets.

Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds - this alarm is sounded whenever the Back-UPS is running On Battery. Consider saving work in progress.

Continuous Beeping - this alarm is sounded whenever a low battery condition is reached. Battery run-time is very low. Promptly save any work in progress and exit all open applications. Shutdown the operating system, computer and

the Back-UPS.

Overload (red) - is lit whenever power demand has exceeded the capacity of the Back-UPS.

Continuous Tone - this alarm is sounded whenever the Battery Backup outlets are overloaded.

Circuit Breaker - the circuit breaker button located on the rear panel of the Back-UPS will stick out if an overload condition forces the Back- UPS to disconnect itself from utility power. If the button sticks out, disconnect non-essential equipment. Reset the circuit breaker by pushing the button inward.

Replace Battery (red) - is lit whenever the battery is near the end of its useful life, or if the battery is not con- nected (see above). A battery that is near the end of its use- ful life has insufficient run-time and should be replaced.

Chirps for 1 Minute Every 5 Hours - this alarm is sounded whenever the battery has failed the automatic diagnostic test.
