Version 1.4

 

4. OPERATION 

4.1. 

Switching “On” the UPS 

Make sure the Limousin UPS is plugged in and the utility power is 
present. Press and hold the “On/Off/Test/Silence” Button for more than 3 
seconds or until the LED is lit. This switches the Limousin UPS “On”.  
The UPS will perform self-testing each time it is switched “On”. 
 

4.2. 

Switching “Off” the UPS 

Press and hold the “On/Off/Test/Silence” Button for more than 3 seconds, 
or until the “Line Normal” or “Back-Up” LED turns off. 
 

4.3. Self-Test 

Use the self-test to verify both the operation of the UPS and the condition 
of the battery.  When normal utility power is present, push the 
“On/Off/Test/Silence” Button for less than 1 second and the UPS will 
perform a self-test function.  During the self-test, the UPS operates in 
back-up mode. 
 

NOTE: 

During the self-test, the UPS briefly provides power to the load from the 
batteries.  The LED shall flash every 2 seconds during this test. If the UPS 
passes the self-test, it returns to on-line operation.   
 
On completion of the test, the LED stops flashing and remains on.  If the 
UPS fails the self-test, it immediately returns to on-line operation.  If a 
failure occurred, recharge the battery overnight and perform the self-test 
again.  If the UPS still fails the self-test, ask our nearest dealer to replace 
the battery.  The loads are unaffected when performing a self-test.
  

 

 

 

4.4. 

Silence the Alarm 

In Back Up mode, push the “On/Off/Test/Silence” Button for less than 1 
second to silence the audible alarm. Note that, this function is void when 
under condition of "LOW BATTERY" or "OVERLOAD" 
 

4.5. Cold 

Start 

When the UPS is off and there is no utility power, use the cold start 
feature to apply power to the loads from the UPS battery.  Press the 
“On/Off/Test/Silence” button until the UPS beeps. Please refer to Front 
Panel section for location of the indicator.  

 

4.6. Green 

Function 

In order to conserve battery power, the UPS will automatically shutdown 
when in back-up mode, after 5 minutes, if the connected loads are 
operating at less than 20 watts. 
 
To disable “GREEN FUNCTION” press and hold the “On” button during 
initial start-up for at least 3 seconds, until a beep-beep sound is heard.
