990-1599B Smart-UPS® VT 10-30 kVA, 208/220 V and XR Battery Enclosure Operation Manual 5

Operation Modes

In a stand-alone installation, the UPS has four different operating modes. If the installation includes a
Maintenance Bypass Panel, bypass mode and test mode will also be available.

Normal operation

During normal operation, the UPS converts utility power to conditioned power for the connected
load.

Battery operation

During battery operation, the UPS provides power to the connected load from its internal and (if
applicable) external batteries for a finite period. The UPS transfers to battery operation if the supply
of utility power fails, or is outside pre-defined limits.

Bypass operation (or static bypass operation) utility

Static bypass operation can either be obtained by user request or automatically, as the UPS will
switch into bypass operation if both the normal and battery operation modes are unavailable. During
static bypass operation, the utility power is sent through internal Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)
filters to the connected load, bypassing the internal power converters. The UPS transfers to bypass
operation following a command received via the user display, or after a short or heavy overload on
the output of the UPS. Battery back-up is not available in bypass operation.

Mechanical bypass

In mechanical bypass, utility power is sent directly to the connected load through a mechanical
breaker, bypassing all internal UPS functions and filters. Mechanical bypass is obtained by the
operation of the mechanical bypass breaker lever located behind the front cover. Mechanical bypass
is a feature designed to keep the load supplied with utility power at maintenance of the power
sections of the UPS. All major maintenance operations can be performed with the UPS running in
mechanical bypass, and with the load being supplied directly with unconditioned utility power.
6 Smart-UPS® VT 10-30 kVA, 208/220 V and XR Battery Enclosure Operation Manual 990-1599B
Operation – Operation Modes

Wrap-around maintenance bypass

The UPS can be connected to an external Maintenance Bypass Panel. When activated, this panel
bypasses the entire UPS Enclosure (only possible with an optional APC Maintenance Bypass Panel),
feeding utility power directly to the load. An activated wrap-around Maintenance Bypass Panel
completely isolates the UPS and allows maintenance to be performed - including a replacement of the
entire UPS.

The Display

Introduction

CAUTION!
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 unwanted load impacts. For APC World-wide Customer Support, refer to
rear cover of this manual.
Four Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators report the operational status of the UPS.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Screen
Five navigation keys are used to select and open menu items, to access information, change system parameters, and to launch context-sensitive help.
