UTS Configurable Features

Feature

Description

 

 

Uninterruptible Power

• provides UPS backup for uninterrupted operation

Supply

• provides backup power until the generator comes on line

 

 

 

Provides automatic shut off (referred to as load shedding), of select circuits during blackout

Adaptive Load

conditions

• prevents power surges and overload conditions from stalling a generator, or tripping circuits

Management (ALM)

• increases generator efficiency by 20% or more during prolonged power outages

 

 

• automatically reconnects loads once the overload conditions have been corrected

 

 

 

Provides automatic transfer of select loads between a generator and a UPS

Load Transfer

• minimizing power interruptions due to overload conditions

 

• maximizing power availability

 

 

Time Management &

Time management feature sets maximum and minimum times for ALM to run

Load Shedding

Refer to the Configuration and Setup section in this manual for detailed functionality

 

 

 

Settings determine how the UTS reacts to momentary power fluctuations

Voltage Sensitivity

MEDIUM - factory default

LOW - useful when frequent, small power fluctuations DO NOT require UTS intervention

 

HIGH - recommended ONLY for loads that are very sensitive to small, brief power

 

fluctuations

 

 

Security Mode

When security mode is set to ON, the UTS automatically cycles power to circuits at a rate of

also referred to as

two hours on and two hours off

vacation mode

Recommended for use on strategic light circuits during vacations

 

 

 

During bypass mode operation all circuits utilize utility power ONLY

Bypass Mode

• Backup power sources are not utilized regardless of the quality or condition of utility power

 

• Overload protection remains available during bypass mode operation

 

 

 

• During initial setup and configuration the LCD displays the particular setting or value that is

 

to be entered or changed

Liquid Crystal Display

• During regular operation the LCD is used with various LED indicators and push buttons

(LCD)

providing UTS status messages, warnings

 

• During regular operation the LCD is used with various LED indicators and push buttons to

 

perform required actions

 

 

 

Semiautomatic operation: The UTS automatically switches to generator power once the

 

generator has been connected and turned on.

Automatic Start/Stop

Fully automatic, compatible, remote controlled, auto stop/start generators require:

• APC UTS Generator Hardwiring Interface Kit

Operation

 

• APC UTS Automatic Remote Start/Stop Kit
