Philips SPB4230WA/17 manual Turn off the power to the UPS. Wait 5 seconds

UPS, it will immediately begin a self test to determine if an overload situation exists. If it detects an overload, an audible alarm will sound.You will hear a long beep before the system automatically shuts down. If this occurs:

1Unplug at least one piece of equip- ment from the battery back-up outlets.

2Turn off the power to the UPS. Wait 5 seconds.

3Make sure the circuit breaker is set. Turn the UPS back on.

Note

Your UPS is equipped with a self protec- tion feature that prevents accidental damage if the UPS is turned on and off repeatedly. Once you turn your UPS off, you must wait 5 seconds before turning it on again.

Philips recommends you perform a simula- tion test when using your UPS for the first time or when connecting an additional piece of equipment.

To conduct a simulation test:

1Turn on the UPS.

2Wait for the power indicator to illuminate.

3Unplug the UPS power cord from the wall.This simulates a power failure.

When an electrical power failure occurs, the battery power outlets of your UPS will supply power to the connected equipment from its battery.An alarm will beep once every two seconds.

4.Confirm all equipment connected to

the battery power outlets of your UPS is operating under the limited rating power.

5.Restore power to UPS by plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

Repeat this simulation test a few times to confirm your UPS is working properly and determine the expected runtime.

Note

If a power failure occurs immediately after you turn on the UPS, but before its initial self-test sequence, your UPS will automatically shut down. It will not restart until electrical power is restored.This al- lows your UPS to check the quality of the power that is delivered to your connected equipment.

Tip

To maintain a full battery charge, leave your UPS plugged in and turned on at all times.

The surge protection of your UPS has a limited life. Even under normal circum- stances, and in the absence of defects, this surge protection will end when the components providing protection exceed capacity and cease to provide protection from power surges and spikes.

These surge protection components feature an internal protection that will disconnect them at the end of their useful life, but will still maintain power to your connected equipment (load).When this occurs, you will have to replace your UPS to restore protection to your connected equipment.
