Reading the Status Indicators
The six symbols on the left side of the monitor panel are status indicators. They are backlit by colored light emitting diode (LED) lamps, and they work in conjunction with the alarm horn to let you know the operating status of the UPS.
Normal This green symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Normal mode. The power processing unit (PPU) is supplying power to the critical load.
Battery This yellow symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Battery mode. Because Battery mode is a normal condition of the UPS, the Normal indicator also remains lit.
Bypass This yellow symbol is lit when the UPS is operating in Bypass mode. The critical load is supported by the bypass source. The Normal indicator is not lit when the system is in Bypass mode.
Notice This yellow symbol is lit when the system needs attention. The LCD screen shows all active notices. Some notices may be accompanied by an audible horn. To silence the
horn, press the and
pushbuttons simultaneously. The Notice indicator may be lit along with other indicators.
Alarm This red symbol is lit when a situation requires immediate attention. The LCD screen shows the highest priority active alarms. All alarms are accompanied by an audible
horn. To silence the horn, press the and
pushbuttons simultaneously. The Alarm indicator may be lit along with other indicators.
Standby This yellow symbol is lit when electricity is present in the PPU of the UPS and the Normal indicator is not lit. During normal startup, this indicator illuminates until the the UPS transfers to Normal mode, at which point the Normal indicator is lit. During normal shutdown, the Standby indicator is lit until all energy in the UPS is dissipated and shutdown is complete.
