Monitoring and Controlling UPS Operation
After you start the UPS, operator intervention is unnecessary except for periodic checks of the UPS status. Manual operation is required only during routine maintenance or service. Use the Monitor Panel and the Control Panel to monitor and control the UPS. Figure 22 shows the location of these two panels on the front of the UPS.

Figure 22. Location of the Monitor Panel and the Control Panel
The Monitor Panel on the left front of the UPS continually indicates the present mode of UPS operation. This panel contains an LCD screen, backlit status indicators, and the EMERGENCY POWER OFF pushbutton. Use the LCD screen on the Monitor Panel to view performance meters or graphic representations of UPS operation. The Monitor Panel is described in detail in Chapter 9
The Control Panel located to the right of the Monitor Panel contains various controls and switches. These control power to and from the UPS, and allow you to change the UPS mode manually. The Control Panel is discussed in Chapter 10.
