Normal /Bypass

 

Manually switch connected equipment to bypass mode, so that utility power is

 

 

 

 

sent directly to connected equipment. Battery operation is not available while

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the UPS is in bypass mode. (See Troubleshooting.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cold Start

 

This is not a normal condition.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supply immediate battery power to the UPS and connected equipment (see

 

 

 

 

Troubleshooting). Press and hold the

 

button to power up the UPS and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

connected equipment. The UPS will emit two beeps. During the second beep,

 

 

 

 

release the button.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Self-Test

 

Automatic: The UPS performs a self-test automatically when turned on, and

 

 

 

 

every two weeks thereafter (by default). During the self-test, the UPS briefly

 

 

 

 

operates the connected equipment on battery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Manual: Press and hold the

 

button for a few seconds to initiate the self-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

test.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Diagnostic Utility

 

The UPS has a diagnostic feature that displays the utility voltage. Plug the UPS

 

Voltage

 

into the normal utility power.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The UPS starts a self-test as part of this procedure. The self-test does not

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

affect the voltage display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Press and hold the

 

button to view the utility voltage bar graph display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a few seconds the five-LED, Battery Charge

 

display on the right of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the front panel shows the utility input voltage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Refer to the figure at left for the voltage reading (values are not listed on the

 

 

 

 

UPS).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The display indicates the voltage is between the displayed value on the list and

 

 

 

 

the next higher value.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Battery Operation

The UPS switches to battery operation automatically if the utility power fails. While running on battery, an alarm beeps four times every 30 seconds.

Press the button to silence this alarm. If the utility power does not return, the UPS continues to supply power to the connected equipment until the battery is fully discharged.

When two minutes of runtime remain the UPS emits a continuous beep. If PowerChute or the Network Management Card is not being used, files must be manually saved and the computer must be properly shut down before the UPS fully discharges the battery.

The UPS battery life differs based on usage and environment.
