ON BATTERY Status Indicator 

1

When lit (orange), the RLC-1080 is operating 
on power from the internal Battery Pack. The 
unit will go “On Battery” when the voltage 
from the wall outlet has either dropped below 
or gone above the user-selected levels, during 
a power outage, or during momentary power 
drops or surges.

REGULATING Status Indicator 

4

When lit (blue), this indicates that the Automatic 
Voltage Regulation (AVR) system is engaged to 
correct low or high voltage conditions.

Vacuum Fluorescent Display 

5

The Vacuum Fluorescent Display (VFD) provides 
information about the unit and power status. It 
is also used to display information when mak-
ing changes to the user-selectable settings for 
the unit.

can be dimmed or turned off independently of 
each other via the front control panel

push button.

OVERLOAD Status Indicator 

6

When lit (red) this indicates that the unit is over-
loaded; unplug some of the equipment connected 
to the unit until the indicator is no longer lit.

FILTERING Status Indicator 

7

When lit, this notifies the user that the Electromag-
netic Interference/Radio Frequency Interference 
(EMI/RFI) noise reduction circuit is active.

LINE OK Status Indicator 

8

When lit, this indicates that the voltage from 
the wall outlet is within acceptable range. If 
this indicator is not lit, the Automatic Voltage 
Regulation circuit is active and is correcting high 
or low voltage levels to maintain safe voltage 
conditions for the connected components, or the 
unit is operating on battery power due to a power 
outage or extreme voltage level conditions.

LOW BATTERY Status Indicator 

9

When lit (orange) this indicates the Battery Pack 
charge level is low. This should occur only after 
the RLC-1080 has been running on battery power 
for a period of time. The user can set the unit so 
this indicator will come on when the amount of 
time the system can continue to run on battery 
power is from 2 to 25 minutes. When lit, leave 
the unit plugged in to allow batteries to recharge. 
The unit does not have to be powered on for 
batteries to recharge.
