Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment (optional)

The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery back-up power to protect connected equipment. In situations where either the Back-UPS or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage level it is necessary to adjust the transfer voltage.

1.Connect the Back-UPS to a wall outlet. The Back-UPS will be in Standby mode, no indicators will be illuminated.

2.Press and hold the Power On button for 10 seconds. The red LED flashes, to indicate that the Back-UPS is in Program mode.

3.The green or red LEDs will flash to indicate the current sensitivity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.

4.To select LOW sensitivity, press and hold the Power On button until the green LED flashes.

5.To select MEDIUM sensitivity, press and hold the Power On button until the red LED flashes.

6.To select HIGH sensitivity, press and hold the Power On button until the green and red LEDs flash alternately.
