Powerware FE/QFE UPS manual Using the Control Panel, Changing Operating Modes

Using the Control Panel

The control panel comes with all FE/QFE 4.3–18 kVA models. If you have an FE/QFE 500 VA–3.1 kVA, you may have ordered the control panel as an option (refer to TIP 407 to connect the control panel).

The control panel is attached to the front of the UPS with a 6-ft (1.8m) cable, providing hand-held operation. The control panel’s READY, BATTERY POWER, and ALARM indicators work like the READY, BATTERY POWER, and ALARM indicators on the front of the UPS (see “Front Panel Indicators” on page 25.)

You can use the control panel to change UPS system modes and display and change parameters. You can also lock the control panel and change some of its features. If you press the wrong key at any time, press [CLEAR] and then the correct key. The control panel makes a clicking noise each time you press a key.

Changing Operating Modes

There are four UPS operating modes:

:Auto

:Inverter On

:Line Condition

:Off

The FERRUPS UPS selects the appropriate operating mode automatically; however, there may be times when you need to set the operating mode manually from the control panel. Notice that names of the operating modes appear in red on the bottom of keys 1–4.
