9-10 Manual Bypass Procedure (Parallel UPS)

 

 

 

Warning: When the UPS system is in manual bypass, the inverter shuts down. Connected equipment loads are powered by the bypass

2

(reserve) power source and will not receive battery backup during a utility power failure.

1 For the first UPS system you wish to shut down, press the OFF

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

button A for 3 seconds (until you hear a beep), then release

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the button. If the other UPS system can support the connected

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

equipment loads alone, the UPS system that was turned off will

 

 

 

 

 

3

 

shut down its inverter and its LCD screen will read “LOAD NOT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

POWERED”. The other UPS system’s LCD screen will read

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“ONLINE MODE”. If the total connected equipment load is too

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

large to be handled by a single UPS system, both UPS systems

 

 

 

 

A

 

 

will shut down their inverters and switch to bypass mode, and their

1

 

 

 

4

 

 

 

 

 

 

LCD screens will read “ON AUTO BYPASS”. Repeat step 1 for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the second UPS system you wish to shut down.

of each battery pack. On the SU20KX or SU40KX, turn OFF the

 

 

 

 

 

 

battery breaker on the back of the UPS.

prefer to de-energize the UPS systems completely, depending on

 

 

 

 

 

 

local codes and the nature of the maintenance or repair.
