c.) In just a few seconds, the UPS will enter into AC mode. If the mains is abnormal, the UPS will operate in Battery mode without interruption. NOTE: When the UPS runs out of battery power, it will shut down automatically in Battery mode.
Page 51
d.) When the UPS is on overload, please remove some loads immediately. It is recommended to have the total loads connected to the UPS less than 80% of its nominal power capacity to prevent overload for system safety. e.) If the overload time is over acceptable time listed in spec in AC mode, the UPS will automatically transfer to Bypass mode.

data or devices. Otherwise, there is a risk of data loss or load failure. b.) In Battery mode, users can touch “SETTING” è “Basic” è Audio Mute to enable “Mode Mute” to disable the buzzer. c.) The backup time of the long-run model depends on the external battery capacity.
Page 53
NOTE 1: If the UPS has been set to bypass output, it will bypass voltage from the mains to output terminal even though the user has turned off the UPS (inverter). NOTE 2: After turning off the UPS, please be aware that the UPS is working in Bypass mode and there will be risk of power loss for connected devices.

11. Operation in Fault mode a.) When the buzzer beeps continuously, it means that there is a fatal error with the UPS. Users can get the fault code from “DATA LOG” menu. Please refer to the Section 3-3-6 for details b.) Please check the loads, wiring, ventilation, mains, battery and so on after the fault occurs.

3-5 (1)). Then, measure the inverter output voltage of each phase for each UPS with a multi-meter. Calibrate the inverter output voltage by configuring inverter voltage adjustment (Refer to SETTING -> VOL CALI screen) in LCD menu until the inverter output voltage difference of each UPS is within 1V or less.

Now the parallel system is now complete. For more information regarding the parallel operation, please contact AMETEK Powervar Technical Support for detailed instruction. 2. Add new units into the parallel system a.) You cannot add new units into the parallel system when the whole system is running.
Page 57
b.) Make sure the bypass setting is enabled in each UPS and then turn off the system. All UPSs will transfer to Bypass mode. Remove all the maintenance bypass covers and set the maintenance switches from “UPS” to “BPS” position. Turn off all the input breakers and battery breakers in parallel system.
