21.Battery Run Time Stage – during a power outage, this unit will shut down power to your connected home theater equipment in stages (unless override is on). Each stage is associated with specific rear-panel power outlets. This display indicates which stage(s) have shut down, which stage the unit is currently in, and which stage(s) remain.

An empty circle (e.g., ö):

stage already shut down

A blinking circle:

current stage

A solid circle:

future stage

During battery backup or normal operation, you can press the “Stage Time” button to cycle through each stage and see how much usable battery-backup time each stage has. Note, however, if the override feature is on, there are no shutdown stages so only the override battery-backup time can be viewed (i.e., estimated total battery-backup time without any automated stage shutdown).

22.Battery-Backup Time – during normal operation or battery backup, these numbers automatically update to show you how much approximate battery-backup time there is for any specific stage (or total battery-backup time if staged shutdown is overridden).

23.Battery ON – this will only display when the unit’s battery is being used (e.g., during a power outage).

24.Battery OK – this will remain displayed so long as the unit’s battery is in good health.

25.Overload – when the battery’s load level approaches a critical level, the overload icon will appear (it will blink on and off).

This may happen if your connected equipment is drawing/ consuming too much power. If the battery load exceeds its maximum safe threshold, the entire unit will automatically shut down to prevent damage.

26.Replace Battery – this will display when the unit’s battery is in poor health and must be replaced. If a power outage occurs when the battery needs replacing, the AVU1500 will simply shut down immediately. See “Battery Replacement” on page 45 for

more details.

27.Battery-load meter – this meter illustrates the size of the load (in watts) currently placed on the AVU1500. During normal operation, with no connected equipment, the load meter will register a minimal load (one bar). As equipment is added, the load meter will increase. The maximum load that the AVU1500 can safely handle is 1000 watts and all five of the meter’s bars will blink when the unit exceeds a safe maximum capacity.

28.Battery-charge meter – shows the battery’s charge level (i.e., the remaining usable battery power supply). If the battery is fully charged, then all five bars will be displayed. If the battery is charging, the bars will blink on and off (similar to a mobile phone).
