It also functions under operator control to enable manual override should servicing or testing be required.
  • Page 84 Double Conversion mode of operation. Complete loss of input voltage causes the UPS to transfer to Battery mode. While in H.E. mode, the Powerware 9170 system provides passive EMI filtering in the power path. Off mode turns off the output and most internal circuitry. Within this mode, another mode (Sleep) turns off all internal circuitry when AC line is not present and battery voltage drops to a low threshold.

    Battery Protect (BP). Sleep mode allows the UPS to remain unpowered for up to six months without having to remove or recharge batteries. Failure to properly power down the Powerware 9170 UPS could permanently damage any installed batteries. Also, if batteries become severely discharged, the UPS might not start immediately when input power is restored.
