5.

If your UPS has a DC switch, turn on the switch according to the
UPS model:

500 VA–3.1 kVA:

  Most units do not have a DC switch on the UPS

or external battery cabinet(s). If the external battery cabinet has a
DC switch, turn the switch to the ON position.

4.3–7 kVA:

  If you have an external battery cabinet(s) with a DC

switch, turn the switch to the ON position.

If you do not have an external battery cabinet(s):  unlock the UPS
front cover using the FERRUPS key and remove the front cover.
Locate the DC switch behind the UPS front cover. If there is a
precharge button next to the switch, press it for a few seconds.
Turn the DC switch to the ON position and reinstall the UPS front
cover.

10–18 kVA:

  If you have an external battery cabinet(s) with a DC

switch, turn the switch to the ON position.

6.

500 VA–3.1 kVA:

  Turn the UPS ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

4.3–18 kVA:

  Use the FERRUPS key to turn the UPS ON/OFF

switch to the ON position.

7.

The load should still be disconnected at this time.

After a short startup test, the READY indicator blinks for a few
seconds and then remains illuminated. The UPS is ready to supply
output power.

8.

Turn the bypass switch to the UPS position.
