6.2  Battery Backup Time and Discharge Process 
The UPS system, when used in conjunction with a TOSHIBA designed Battery System, is 
designed to provide several minutes of back-up time for the 4200FA UPS (Refer to the Battery 
System Manual for back-up times). These times are valid for full-load operation. At half-load 
operation the batteries can provide approximately 2 times the specified value. The exact times 
will depend on the UPS model used, condition of the batteries, amount and type of load, 
temperature, and other variables. 
CAUTION  Contact your TOSHIBA sales representative if using battery systems 
other than TOSHIBA designed battery systems to determine 
compliance. Using other systems may void the warranty and/or the 
safety certifications. 
The following illustration shows the battery discharge process at full load conditions. 
6.3  Battery Low Voltage Tolerances 
Excessive discharge will cause the UPS battery voltage to drop below tolerable levels. The table 
below lists the normal operating voltage, the voltage levels at which the low-voltage alarm will 
sound, and the low-voltage level at which an automatic shut down will occur. 
Nominal Voltage  288 VDC 
Alarm Voltage  252 VDC 
Shutdown Voltage min.  216 VDC
