- Page 26 Options 5, 6 – Input Voltage Tolerance Use these two option switches to select the Esprit’s sensitivity to low/high input voltage conditions. The Esprit will switch to battery power when the utility voltage falls outside the range selected. The percentages shown in the table below are subtracted/added to the nominal voltage setting as set by options 4, 5.
- Page 27 Option 10 – Automatic UPS restart after Low Battery shutdown The factory setting for this option is ON, which allows the UPS to automatically turn its output back on following a Low Battery shutdown once input AC is present. This setting is the usual one for applications where the UPS is connected to automated or unattended equipment that is capable of restarting itself without direct human intervention.
- Page 28 If the POIT is enabled, the UPS will power up the load from utility power, then briefly switch to battery power approximately 5-7 seconds after it is powered up. The UPS runs on battery for only 3-5 seconds, so no significant drain on the battery will occur.
