Overview – User Interface
|
The display provides access to more functions than described in this manual. Those functions |
|
should not be accessed without the assistance of APC Customer Support in order to avoid |
Caution |
unwanted load impacts. For APC World-Wide Customer Support, refer to the back cover of |
|
|
|
this manual. If you by accident get beyond the functions described, press ESC to return to |
|
previous screens. |

Operation
Operation Modes
The UPS has different operation modes. If the installation includes a Maintenance Bypass Panel (MBP), an external maintenance bypass operation mode will also be available.
Normal operation
The UPS converts utility/mains power to conditioned power for the connected load.
Battery operation
The UPS provides power to the connected load from its internal and (if available) external batteries for a finite period. The UPS transfers to battery operation if the supply of utility/mains power fails, or is outside the pre-defined limits.
Internal bypass operation
Internal bypass keeps the load supplied with utility/mains power during maintenance of the UPS power sections. In internal bypass operation, utility/mains power is sent directly to the connected load bypassing all internal UPS functions and filters. Battery back-up is not available in internal bypass operation even though the batteries are in place.
External maintenance bypass operation
The UPS can be connected to an optional external MBP. When activated, this panel bypasses the entire UPS enclosure, feeding utility/mains power directly to the load. An activated external MBP completely isolates the UPS and allows maintenance to be performed. An external MBP is mandatory if the UPS is running in parallel.
Optional parallel operation
The connected load is powered by multiple UPS units to increase system redundancy or to increase power. The internal mechanical bypass lever is not available.

Operation Procedures
How to turn into bypass
Single System – turning into internal bypass.
The load is not protected by the UPS and the power is not conditioned when the internal mechanical bypass lever is activated.
Caution
In bypass operation the batteries are still charged. If a total power off is required, the batteries must be pulled out to the red disconnect line, see the section How to perform a total power off.
Warning
This procedure is not applicable to parallel systems as the internal mechanical bypass lever is unavailable.
Note
If the UPS is running and controllable through the display, carry out steps 1 through 5. If not, go directly to step 6.
