    During installation, the technician will ensure that the system – and therefore the UPS – is left plugged in, allowing it to completely charge the battery. This will take approximately 3.5 hours. As a data safety measure, Ultrasonix has configured the UPS alert system to ensure an optimal warning time for UPS battery recharging.
  • Page 279 To fully charge the battery after an Alert Level 1 automated shutdown, leave the system plugged in continuously for 3.5 hours. If the charging cycle must be interrupted, Ultrasonix recommends leaving the system plugged in for a minimum of one (1) hour before unplugging it.

  • Page 280: Ups Battery Sleep Mode (Cep)

    If the CEP fails to wake, the EPO switch may have been pressed and the UPS breakers will need to be reset. Contact your internal service provider or Ultrasonix Technical Support. If the CEP boots correctly, leave the system plugged in and recharging – uninterrupted – for at least 60 minutes to attain approximately 60 minutes of battery life.

    Once the EPO switch has been pressed, the CEP will be completely disabled until your internal service provider or a certified Ultrasonix Service Technician can reset the system. Service calls that result from misuse of the EPO switch are not covered under the system Warranty and may not be covered by the Service Contract.
