FAULT INDICAT OR
If the rear panel Building Wiring Fault (red) indicator is
lit, a potential shock hazard exists due to one of the
following conditions:
• Open or high resistance ground
• Hot and Neutral polarities are reversed
• Overloaded neutral circuit
Improper building wiring should be corrected by a
qualified electrician. Do not use the Back-UPS until the
condition that caused the fault is corrected.
Note: Improper building wiring will not prevent the Back-
UPS from operating, but it will limit its protection
capability.

This warning indicates that there is a backup
battery (
ONBATT) overload condition. This is
indicated by the flashing overload icon.
Warning 3 - Online Bad Battery
This warning indicates that you are in ONLINE
mode, and you have a bad battery, indicated by
the flashing bad battery icon.

OTHER STATUS INDICATORS
Self-Test
To initiate self-test mode, press the power
ON/OFF button, and hold it in for ONE second.
The AC plug symbol (
ON LINE) flashes off and
on during self-test mode.
Mute
This feature allows you to mute the audible alarm (the
beeper) for a single display and message. To mute the
audible alarm, the unit should be on battery, or the
“speaker” symbol is displayed. Press the
HOLD TO MUTE
button for ONE second, the alarm
DISPLAY/
(beeper) is toggled, and the “speaker-NOT” symbol
(speaker with a line drawn through it) is displayed on the
screen.
To enable an audible alarm that has been muted, perform the
same steps that were used for muting the alarm.
The alarm (beeper) can also be muted all the time. With the
speaker or speaker-NOT icon displayed, press and hold the
DISPLAY/HOLD TO MUTE button for FIVE seconds until the
speaker-NOT icon flashes off and on. The unit will mute the
alarm all the time except for faults.
AVR
When
AVR is illuminated on the LCD, it indicates that
the automatic voltage regulation (AVR) circuitry
is in Boost mode. AVR compensates for excessively low
voltage conditions without going on battery. In this
example,
90 V is displayed.
Sensitivity
A typical condition where sensitivity adjustments would
be appropriate is with an AC line input, and with the UPS
off.
Press and hold the power ON/OFF pushbutton in for 10
seconds. The unit will go into “sensitivity programming
mode”. Use the ON/OFF button to select the
HIGH range. LO displays one block, MID is three blocks,
and High is
five blocks. Sensitivity programming mode is
also discussed on Page 3.
LCD Full Time Display Mode
The LCD can be set to full time display mode by performing the following steps:
1. Ensure the unit is connected to utility input power, and the power on/off switch
is turned off (no power is supplied to the output connectors).
2. Press the DISPLAY/HOLD TO MUTE pushbutton, and hold it in for 10
seconds. All five blocks in the Battery Capacity bar will flash of f and on, which
indicates the unit is in pushbutton programming mode.
Note: A rotating selection method is used that allows you to step through the
display modes using the DISPLAY/HOLD TO MUTE button until you
select the display mode you want. For example, in Power Save mode
none of the blocks are lit. If all five of the blocks are lit, it indicates
the LCD is in full time mode, and will remain on full time.
3. When you rotate through the selections and reach the display mode you want,
press and release the DISPLAY/HOLD TO MUTE button to select the display
mode.
Note: If no buttons are pushed, and no operations occur for five seconds, the
unit automatically exits pushbutton programming mode.
4. Once you have selected the desired display mode, continue with normal
operations.
