UPS Setup Overview
Your UPS supports a variety of advanced configuration options that can be set up via

16. Information
To access these user options, enter the UPS SET-UP menu by pressing the SCROLL UP & SCROLL DOWN buttons simultaneously for
at least 3 seconds. The screen will report UPS SET-UP on the upper row and EXIT ENTER on the bottom row. Enter the setup menu by
pressing the button directly under the word “ENTER” in the LCD (the SCROLL UP button). In Set-Up mode, the second row will always
identify the function of the two scroll buttons (“
v
” & “^”). When a value is “set” via the LCD, the display will show a “*” immediately
following the new value.
Many LCD configuration items cannot be accessed in ON LINE, ON BATTERY, ECONOMY or FREQ CONVERTER mode. Turn
off connected equipment and set the UPS to STANDBY MODE prior to entering the UPS SET-UP menu to gain access to all
configuration items.
Any time the UPS SET-UP menu is entered, you will need to scroll through all 16 functions until you see the UPS SET-UP / EXIT ENTER
menu screen again and EXIT (^) is pressed. You can then power-on the UPS and all changed menu items will take effect. Below, we will
show the order of operations in the UPS Setup menu with a brief description of each configuration screen.
If you feel you may have enabled, disabled or specified advanced set-up values that may not be ideal for your configuration,
just reset to FACTORY DEFAULT to return all set-up items to the original factory configuration.
Note: Values in the LCD with an adjacent “*” symbol reflect the current SET value for that attribute.
