Indicator Lights

4.“LINE” (All models): This green light will turn continuously ON whenever connected equipment is receiving utility-supplied AC power and your APS is set to “AUTO/REMOTE”, meaning that it will provide battery backup if utility power fails. It will flash intermittently when connected equipment is receiving utility power and your APS’s Operating Mode Switch is set to “CHARGE ONLY” to warn you that the APS’s inverter is OFF and that the APS WILL NOT provide battery backup during blackouts, brownouts or overvoltages.

5.“INV” (Inverting—all models): This yellow light will turn continuously ON whenever connected equipment is receiving battery-supplied AC power (during a blackout, brownout or overvoltage while connected to utility power or when connected to batteries during vehicular operation).

6.“LOAD” (All models): This red light will turn continuously ON when the APS’s load is between 80% and 110% of capacity. The light will flash intermittently when the APS’s inverter shuts down due to a severe overload or overheating. If this happens, turn Operating Mode Switch OFF. Remove the overload and let the unit cool. You may then turn the APS ON after it cools.

7.“CUT/BOOST” (VR models only): These lights will turn ON whenever your APS is automatically correcting high (CUT) or low (BOOST) AC line voltage. This is a normal, automatic operation of your APS that does not drain battery power, and no action is required on your part.

8.“BATTERY HI/MED/LO” (All models): These three lights will turn ON in several sequences to show the approximate charge level and voltage of your connected battery bank and alert you to several fault conditions:
