Operation (Normal Conditions)
TURNING THE UPS ON
• Make sure the UPS is properly installed (see Installation section) and the Manual Bypass Key is set to NORMAL.
• Turn the AC Input and Bypass AC Input Circuit Breakers ON.
• If your AC input is providing power normally within your selected range (see Input Voltage Selection, and Specifications), your
connected load will energize. However, the UPS's inverter is not yet on. Press the front "ON/OFF" switch ON to begin inverter
operation.
• If your AC input is not providing power normally, you have the option of starting from battery. (Your battery must be at least
partially charged for this operation to succeed.) Press and hold both the "Battery Start" switch and the "ON/OFF" switch for three
seconds to start your UPS in "ON BATTERY" mode. Note that some electronic equipment may draw more amps during startup;
when starting from battery, consider reducing the initial load on the UPS.
• The UPS will perform a brief self-test and show the results on the LCD Display. (See Self-Test section, for display sequence.)
After a successful self-test, the UPS will provide AC power from the inverter to your load.
TURNING THE UPS OFF
• Press the front “ON/OFF” Switch OFF. Your load will still be energized. The inverter is now off, but your UPS is not fully
deactivated. The LCD Display will show “ON BYPASS."
• Turn the AC Input and Bypass AC Input Circuit Breakers OFF. Your load will no longer be energized, and the LCD display
will be dark.
