The display consists of two sections, a status indicator section on the left side of the screen and an information
area to the right of the status indicators that displays operational messages. The status indicator icons display
as green, yellow, or red depending on the status of the UPS.
Figure 5
shows the display screen sections.
•
Input
– This icon shows the state of the incoming power. It is green if the power is available and good. If it
turns yellow the voltage or frequency of the electrical power is not within acceptable limits.
•
Battery
– This icon shows the state of the energy storage and charge percent. Each bar of the Battery icon
represents a predefined percentage of the total energy as follows: if five bars are shown the energy charge
is between 90-100%; if four bars are shown the charge is between 70-89%; if three bars are shown the
charge is between 50-69%; if two bars are shown the charge is between 30-49%; if one bar is shown the
charge is between 10-29%; if no bars are shown the charge is 9% or less. In case the input power fails,
and the UPS goes on battery, this icon will turn yellow. When the battery is almost depleted and there are
only a few minutes of runtime left the icon will turn red.
