Basic Operation

Buttons

For SMX Models Only—“POWER” Button:

•To turn the UPS ON: with the UPS plugged into a live AC wall outlet,* press and hold the POWER button for about two seconds.** Release the button. If utility power is absent, you can “cold-start” the UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply power for a limited time from its batteries***) by pressing and holding the POWER button for about two seconds.**

•To turn the UPS OFF: with the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press and hold the POWER button for one second.** Then unplug the UPS from the wall outlet. The UPS will be completely OFF.

*After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries, but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON. ** The alarm will beep once briefly after the indicated interval has passed. *** If fully charged.

For OMNIX Models Only—“UPS/STANDBY” Button:

Use the UPS/STANDBY button to do three things:

Switch your UPS’s Operating Mode: While your UPS is plugged into a live AC outlet, press the UPS/STANDBY button and hold it until you hear a beep (about 2 seconds) to toggle between the following operating modes. Choose your UPS’s operating mode based on the regional guidelines in Step 3 of the Quick Installation section.

•UPS Mode: ENABLES battery backup. UPS Conditions: While receiv- ing adequate utility line power, the UPS supplies power to its AC recep- tacles and charges its batteries; its “POWER” indicator light will be lit. If the utility line power fails or becomes inadequate, the UPS will supply inverted AC power to its receptacles if its batteries are sufficiently charged. Setting Advantages: Provides battery backup during blackouts or brownouts.

•STANDBY Mode: DISABLES battery backup. UPS Conditions: While receiving adequate utility line power, the UPS supplies power to its AC receptacles and charges its batteries; the “POWER” indicator light will be flashing. Setting Advantages: Continues to charge the battery when power is present while turning OFF the inverter to prevent battery deple- tion during power outages when equipment is not in use.

Cold-Start Your UPS: You may “cold start” your UPS and use it as a stand-alone power source when utility power is not present, providing that the UPS battery is charged. To “cold start” your UPS, press and hold the UPS/STANDBY button until you hear a beep (about 2 seconds), then release it. The “BATTERY CHARGE/BATTERY POWER” indicator light will illuminate and AC power inverted from stored battery power will be provided at the UPS receptacles.

Shut Down Your UPS: Press and hold the UPS/STANDBY button when AC line power is absent (i.e. during a blackout, or when the UPS is unplugged) to deactivate your UPS.
