The UPS front panel has two modes. Operation mode is the normal or default
mode for the UPS. In this mode the front panel LEDs indicate information
about the unit’s operation, and the control buttons manage UPS functions. In
configure mode, the LEDs and control buttons set the unit’s operation param-
eters.
OPERATION PARAMETERS
Operation parameters allow you to program various aspects of the UPS’s
operation including frequency detection, nominal voltage, and alarms. Opera-
tion parameters are set when the unit is in configure mode.

AUTOMATIC START
The UPS starts automatically when the unit is connected to AC power. The
UPS can be configured to start manually. See Configuration Mode later in this
section for instructions. When output power is available to the receptacles/
terminal blocks, the Output LED (ON LED) turns on. If output power is not
available the Output LED (ON LED) turns off.
FRONT PANEL CONTROL BUTTONS
The front panel of the UPS has three control buttons used to operate the UPS.
Buttons should be pressed for at least 0.5 seconds to activate unless otherwise
indicated. Figure 4-1 shows each control button and its specific function when
the UPS is in operation mode.
ON/OFF Button ( )
To manually start the UPS, push the On/Off button (see Configure Mode to turn
off auto-restart). When the UPS is on, power is available at the rear panel recep-
tacles/terminal blocks.
Off Button ( )
Push both the Off button and the On/Off button simultaneously to turn off power to
the rear receptacles/terminal blocks. The Output LED (ON LED) will turn off.
When the unit is turned off, it can not be turned back on for 8 seconds.
