In case of power failure due to lightning, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) contained
in control cabinet detects the power failure, and then automatically shuts down the FPD
(PCU). Without automatic startup for FPD (PCU) after power failure recovery (backup by
UPS), perform manual startup.
Actions after power failure
1
Turn ON the system
"Startup" P.8
2
Turn ON the power
switch of PCU
Application software "Xcat" for FPD
control starts up automatically.
Approx. 5 minutes is required to
complete the startup.

Note
Battery backup time by UPS is approx. 3 minutes.
It sounds beep from control cabinet while the power is being backed up by UPS.
If the power fails because backup time for UPS expires, call a Shimadzu service
