  • Page 17: Turning The Novus Fxm On And Off

    Operation Turning the Novus FXM On and Off Under normal operation, the FXM is always powered ON to supply uninterruptible power to the load. By turning off the FXM, the power supply to the load will also be disconnected. If for any reason you need to turn off the FXM while maintaining power to your critical load, make sure that you have a plan in place to provide an alternate source of power.
  • Page 18 FXM UPS Operator's Manual Switching the FXM from Line mode to Inverter mode You can also force the FXM to operate in the inverter mode by manu- ally turning off the input circuit breaker. Doing so will effectively dis- connect any line power to the FXM, simulating a power outage which triggers the FXM to swtich to the inverter mode of operation.

  • Page 19: Operating The Novus Fxm

    FXM UPS Operator's Manual Operating the Novus FXM The control menu (Figure 7.4) lets you operate the FXM or program it to suit your operating conditions. You can also use the Novus User Software to make these adjustments (See “Novus User Software” on page 56).
  • Page 20 QUALITY: The buck and boost modes are turned off, the input voltage is the FXM’s output voltage. If you are connecting an Alpha Technologies Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) to traffic intersection equipment, then you MUST switch the FXM to quality since most traffic equipment cannot handle the high voltage output of the FXM when it is in AVR mode.
