1.1Display Unit

The display unit (located on the front of the UPS) is the link between the user and the UPS and consists of a display, an alarm LED indicator and a keyboard. The display reads parameters, measured values and alarm messages. Alarms and the pressing of keys will activate a back light which is set to switch off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.

By pressing and simultaneously you increase the back light contrast. The pressing of

and simultaneously decreases the contrast.

The LED alarm is linked to an acoustic signal indicating incorrect operation. Alarms will change the LED light from green to red. Use keyboard to program operating parameters and to display parameters / alarm messages.
