Operation

Battery Mode

When the UPS is operating during a power outage, the alarm beeps once every four seconds and the + ---indicator illuminates. When the utility power returns, the UPS switches to Normal mode operation while the battery recharges.

If battery capacity becomes low while in Battery mode, the indicator flashes and the alarm beeps twice every two seconds. Immediately complete and save your work to prevent data loss and similar difficulties. When utility power is restored after the UPS shuts down, the UPS automatically restarts.

Standby Mode

When the UPS is turned off and remains plugged into a power outlet, the UPS is in Standby mode. The µindicator flashes and the bar graph indicators are off, indicating that power is not available from the UPS output receptacles. The battery recharges when necessary.

Sleep Mode

If the UPS is on battery for approximately five minutes and supporting a small electrical load (£ 10%), the UPS shuts down the load. After three minutes in Sleep mode, the UPS initiates a shutdown warning (two beeps every two seconds). This feature conserves battery power. To enable this feature, contact your service representative.

Turning the UPS On

After the UPS is connected to a power outlet, it conducts a self-test and enters Standby mode. To turn on the UPS, press and hold the

On button until you hear the UPS beep (approximately one second). The µindicator stops flashing and the bar graph indicators display the percentage of load being applied to the UPS.

Starting the UPS on Battery

NOTE Before using this feature, the UPS must have been powered by utility power at least once.

To turn on the UPS without using utility power, press and hold the On button for at least four seconds. The UPS supplies power to your equipment and goes into Battery mode.
