  • Page 24: Operation Precautions

    Front Panel Overview Compaq Pro UPS 500 models feature the same front panel which includes the controls required to select UPS Operating Modes, initiate a self-test of the UPS battery and silence an audio alarm. The front panel also includes indicator lights that alert you to UPS operating conditions.
  • Page 25: Front Panel Controls (On/Standby Button)

    Front Panel Controls (ON/STANDBY Button) The ON/STANDBY button is a momentary switch that toggles between two UPS Operating Modes (ON and STANDBY) when utility power is present. Press the ON/STANDBY button and hold for 2 seconds until you hear a beep to toggle back and forth between the two modes.
  • Page 26: Ups Operating Mode Recommendations

    “STANDBY” Mode Function: DISABLES battery backup. UPS Conditions: The UPS battery is charging. Power is ON at the UPS receptacles. The green LINE STATUS indicator is flashing. The UPS audio alarm is sounding once per minute. Setting Advantages: Continues to charge the battery when power is present, while turning the inverter OFF to prevent battery backup operation when equipment is not in use.
  • Page 27: Start-On-Battery ("Cold-Start") Operation

    Start-On-Battery (“Cold-Start”) Operation Compaq Pro UPS 500 models have special circuitry that allows them to be used as stand-alone power sources when utility power is not present: Start-On-Battery (“Cold-Start”) operation. The Battery- and Surge-Protected Receptacles will supply AC power for the time limits of the internal battery.
  • Page 28: Front Panel Controls (Test/Alarm Reset Button)

    Performing a “Cold-Start” with load present requires more power than keeping an already-operating load running. You may not be able to start as large a load as usual when performing a “Cold-Start” using the Compaq Pro UPS 500. After performing a “Cold-Start,” the UPS drains the charge on the batteries; runtime is very limited.
  • Page 29: Silencing An Audio Alarm

    CAUTION: Do not initiate the self-test procedures while critical computer or load functions are being performed. IMPORTANT: For the Compaq 500 UPS, the only method of checking the battery and circuitry functionality is by performing a UPS self-test on a routine basis.
  • Page 30: Front Panel Indicators And Audio Alarms

    Front Panel Indicators and Audio Alarms The front panel indicators signal the status of the UPS: LINE STATUS Indicator (Green) Illuminates whenever the UPS is connected to acceptable AC utility line power. While the UPS is in the “ON” Mode, this light will remain illuminated constantly to indicate that battery backup is enabled and will be available at the Battery- and Surge-Protected Receptacles in the event of a blackout or brownout.
