Functioning
6.1
Normal Mode
The UPS typically works in
Normal mode
: Input mains power is available and its amplitude is within specifications.
In Normal mode the
LINE/BATTERY
led is always on.
During Normal mode, the UPS recharges the batteries and keeps them in an optimal charging voltage.
6.2
Battery Mode
The UPS automatically runs in
Battery mode
if the AC Input Line voltage amplitude gets out of security limits (in
case of a black-out or over-voltage/low-voltage): in this case, the UPS supplies the required output power by its
internal battery and by the Inverter block.
The UPS automatically returns in Normal mode a few seconds after the AC Input Line is recovered.
In Battery mode the UPS emits an acoustic alarm signal every 4 seconds and simultaneously the
LINE/BATTERY
led
flashes.
6.3
Low Battery and Automatic Restart
In Battery mode, ECO STRIP indicates the
Low Battery
condition whenever the battery reaches a charge level
allowing connected devices to operate for approximately one more minute.
During Low Battery condition the UPS emits an acoustic alarm signal every second and simultaneously the
LINE/BATTERY
led flashes.
If AC Input does not come back on within few minutes, the UPS
shuts-down automatically
thus preventing the
batteries from discharging excessively; the UPS stops supplying Output power, deactivates control panel indication
and goes to a waiting state. Once AC Input comes back on, the UPS
restarts automatically
and after some seconds
it goes back to work in Normal mode.
After a complete discharge, the UPS needs 4 hours to recharge completely the batteries. The UPS recharges
batteries automatically if it works in Normal mode.
6.4
Load Control
During the functioning in Battery Mode, if the Output load is higher than nominal value (
Overload condition
), the
UPS may automatically switch off, protecting itself from this anomalous situation. In this case, the user must
reduce power within the specifications by disconnecting the devices that cause the
Overload condition
.
Do not connect a load greater than rated value to the UPS (see POWER specifications in
the chapter “Technical Characteristics”), as this may damage the unit. In this case the
warranty is void.
