UPS Standard Features
The UPS has many standard features that provide cost-effective and consistently
reliable power protection:

Monitor Panel

The Monitor Panel on the front of the UPS contains an LCD screen to display the
current status of the UPS. You can view a statistical historyand log of UPS events
and display a real-time graphic representation of power flowingthrough the UPS
