Basic Operation

Buttons

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 receiving adequate utility line power, the UPS supplies power to its AC receptacles and charges its batteries; its “ ” 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 “ ” indicator light will be flashing. Setting Advantages: Continues to charge the battery when power is present while turning OFF the inverter to pre- vent battery depletion 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 sec- onds), then release it. The “ ” 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.

Use the MUTE/TEST button to do two things:

Silence the UPS On-Battery Alarm: Press and hold this button to silence the UPS On-Battery alarm, a series of short beeps followed by a brief pause that is activated when the UPS is providing AC power from battery. Note: When the battery is nearly depleted, the Low Battery alarm—a continuous beep that cannot be silenced—will alert you to immediately shut down connected equipment.

Run a Self-Test:Your UPS performs a self-test whenever it is first plugged in. To have it run a self-test at another time, leave your connected equipment on. With your UPS plugged in and in the UPS mode, press and hold this button until you hear a beep (about 2 seconds) then release it.

Results of a Self-Test:All the LEDs will be lit and the UPS will emit several short beeps as it momentarily switches to battery to test its charge and load capacity. The test will last at most 10 seconds. If the
