Operation mode descriptions:

Operation Mode

Description of Operation Mode

 

 

Normal Operation

The inverter supplies the load. The charger uses the mains supply to feed the

 

inverter.

 

 

Battery Operation

The inverter supplies the load. The battery bank supplies the inverter. In battery

 

operation the load support time is limited; when the batteries are discharged the

 

UPS is unable to supply the load.

 

 

Bypass Operation

The bypass static switch supplies the load, meaning that the load is supplied

 

directly from the bypass mains. When working in bypass operation the UPS can

 

switch to battery operation if the bypass mains fails.

 

 

Charger Only

The charger is recharging the battery. The inverter is shut down.

 

 

Economy Operation

The UPS is in permanent bypass operation and will only switch to battery

 

operation if the bypass mains is out of tolerance.

 

 

Hot Standby

In redundant configurations, one UPS can switch off the inverter, but still keep

 

the inverter ready for immediate start in case another UPS fails.

 

 

In standby mode, the UPS has no output voltage.

Note

Users do not require electrical qualifications to switch the UPS to and from standby mode/normal operation.
