Understanding Your UPS Status Modes
•Standby Mode: In this mode, the UPS is Off, the LCD is functioning, the unit is plugged in, and your batteries
are still being charged; however, no output going to the banks or outlets. You can only access the service
mode and reset to default functions when your UPS is in standby mode.
•Normal Mode: When your UPS is in this mode the voltage from the line input (AC plug) is equal to the output
voltage to the banks or outlets.
•AVR Mode: When your UPS input voltage is too high or low, the unit goes into this mode to properly regulate
the voltage to the banks or outlets.
•Battery Mode: When your UPS line voltage is unacceptable and AVR mode is unable to compensate, the unit
goes into battery mode.
