WARNINGS

To initiate self-test mode, press the power ON/OFF button, and hold it in for ONE second. The AC plug symbol (ON LINE) flashes off and on during self-test mode.

Mute

This feature allows you to mute the audible alarm (the beeper) for a single display and message. To mute the audible alarm, the unit should be on battery, or the “speaker” symbol is displayed. Press the DISPLAY/ HOLD TO MUTE button for ONE second, the alarm (beeper) is toggled, and the “speaker-NOT” symbol (speaker with a line drawn through it) is displayed on the screen.

AVR

When AVR is illuminated on the LCD, it indicates that the automatic voltage regulation (AVR) circuitry

is in Boost mode. AVR compensates for excessively low voltage conditions without going on battery. In this example, 90 V is displayed.

Sensitivity

A typical condition where sensitivity adjustments would be appropriate is with an AC line input, and with the UPS off.

LCD Full Time Display Mode

The LCD can be set to full time display mode by performing the following steps:

1.	Ensure the unit is connected to utility input power, and the power on/off switch
	is turned off (no power is supplied to the output connectors).
2.	Press the DISPLAY/HOLD TO MUTE pushbutton, and hold it in for 10
	seconds. All five blocks in the Battery Capacity bar will flash off and on, which

Pressing the DISPLAY button a sixth time displays the ON LINE output (OUT) voltage, in this example the value is 110 V.

SYSTEM FAULTS

Up to nine system faults can be displayed (F01 -
F09). A note, SEE MANUAL, is provided just
below the system fault number. The system	Flashing

indicates the unit is in pushbutton programming mode.

Note: A rotating selection method is used that allows you to step through the

display modes using the DISPLAY/HOLD TO MUTE button until you

select the display mode you want. For example, in Power Save mode

none of the blocks are lit. If all five of the blocks are lit, it indicates

the LCD is in full time mode, and will remain on full time.
