Page 25: Chapter 3 Operation
Operation As the unit powers up, it will go through a self- diagnosis for about 5 seconds. During this test, each LED turns on individually, from the bottom up by row, starting with the Site-Wiring Fault LED. The UPS runs various tests while turning on the LEDs. - Page 26 Front Panel Overview ON LED: This green LED is on when output voltage is available. The three AC Input LEDs describe line (green) conditions. Top LED: Red. This LED will be solid red when the Line is Too High (overvoltage condition) and the UPS (red) is in battery operation.
- Page 27 The red Site Wiring Fault LED will be on if either the ground wire connection does not exist or the line and neutral wires are reversed in the line receptacle. This LED will stay on until the condition is fixed. It is the customer’s responsibil- (red) ity to correct the wiring fault.
- Page 28 Alarm Silence/Reset Button. The alarm will sound at any new alarm condition. If the problem is resolved or the alarm silence/reset is pushed, the buzzer will go off. The five Load LEDs describe information (red) about the amount of Load in the form of a bar graph. (green) The bottom four (green) LEDs show either the load current or load watts (whichever is higher) in steps.

Page 31: Chapter 4 Maintenance
Maintenance Preventive Maintenance The best preventive measure is to keep the area around the unit clean and relatively dust free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system periodically with a vacuum cleaner. Battery Life By keeping the UPS at an ambient temperature of 25° C, the full battery life can be achieved providing that battery usage is not abnormal. -
Page 32: Regular Maintenance
Regular Maintenance There is no user maintenance other than battery charging for units not in service.
