Battery mode operation
Battery mode occurs in event of extreme input voltage condition or complete mains failure. The battery system along with the bi-directional
converter generates power for the connected load.
During battery mode an alarm sounds every 10 seconds. This will change to 2 beeps every 5 seconds when battery runs low (approximately 2
minutes remaining). Each load/battery level indicator represents a 25% capacity level. As capacity decreases, fewer indicators remain
illuminated.
Battery mode supports a full rated load for approximately 5 minutes before it shuts down. To increase this time, turn off non-essential pieces of
equipment.
WARNING: Turning off the UPS while in battery mode will result in loss of output power.
The figure below displays approximately 51% - 57% battery capacity remaining.
Battery charge mode
The UPS resumes normal operation once main power is restored, whether the UPS is ON or OFF. At this time, the bi-directional converter begins
recharging the battery.
Battery replacement
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short circuit current. Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte
is harmful to skin and eyes and may be toxic. When replacing the batteries, use the appropriate replacement battery kit. Proper disposal of
batteries is required.
Precautions to be observed before replacing the batteries:
•
Turn off and disconnect the UPS from utility power prior to opening the battery replacement door.
•
Remove rings, watches, and other metal objects.
•
Use a cross-head screwdriver with insulated grips.
•
Do not lay tools or other metal objects on top of the batteries.
•
If the battery replacement kit is damaged in any way or shows signs of leakage, contact your dealer immediately.
•
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
•
If you feel unqualified to replace the battery, do not open the battery door. Call the dealer immediately.

Operation
Normal mode operation
During normal operation, main power provides energy to the UPS. The filters and the power conditioning circuit process this power to provide
computer grade power to connected loads. The UPS maintains the batteries in a fully charged state.
The front panel displays the percentage of load on the UPS output. The figure below indicates approximately 51% - 75% loading.
Mains high/low mode operation
If high or low voltage conditions occur, the UPS will automatically correct the mains voltage by either lowering or raising the input voltage
condition.
The figure below indicates approximately 51% - 57% loading while automatically correcting the mains voltage.
