2.4.3.4 Bypass Mode 

If  the  UPS  is  unable  to  deliver  the  demanded  output  power  (most  probably  due  to  overload  or  over  temperature)  it 
automatically switches to bypass mode: the incoming mains power is channeled directly to the load. The UPS will switch 
back to normal operation when the overload has been removed or the temperature has dropped below alarm level. 

If  a  power  failure  occurs  during  this 

automatic

  bypass  mode,  the  UPS  will  most  probably  not  be  able  to  deliver  the 

demanded output power and 

output power is lost

The load can be switched to bypass manually: press the two buttons “ON/Mute” (1) and “SELECT” (2) simultaneously for 4 
seconds.  The  unit  switches  to  bypass  mode  and  symbol  “BYPASS”  (10)  is  lit.  In  this  state  the  UPS  operates  on  bypass 
regardless of the input. Press the two buttons “ON/Mute” and “SELECT” simultaneously for 4 seconds again to switch the 

UPS back to normal operation. If a power failure occurs during 

manual

 bypass mode 

output power is lost

 

2.4.3.5 ECO Mode 

For energy saving purposes the unit can be switched into ECO mode. See 2.4.5 for instructions. 
During ECO Mode, the symbol “ECO” will be lit. The UPS operates on bypass (without alarms) as long as input voltage and 
frequency are within limits. If a power failure occurs during ECO Mode the UPS switches to battery operation. If the mains 
returns the unit will switch back to ECO Mode.

USE: SELF-TEST FUNCTION 

To start a self-test: when the UPS is in AC mode or ECO mode press the “ON/Mute” button for 4 seconds. 
The self-testing function includes load detection, battery capacity and abnormal state.  
 
 

2.4.5

 

USE: OPERATING PARAMETER SETTING 

Enter the configuration mode 

When the UPS is in Standby or operates in Bypass mode, press and hold the “SELECT” button (2) for 4 seconds.  
When the UPS enters the configuration mode, status indicator symbols will light that represent the actual parameter 
being programmed. 
Select the parameter by pressing the “ON/MUTE“ button once. 
Select the setting by pressing the “SELECT“ button once. 
Confirm the setting by pressing the “OFF/Enter” button once.
