Operating Modes
Normal Operation (Utility Power) Mode
When connected to a live power source, the MB1500 provides power
and is ready to provide protection from under- and overvoltages.
Rotate the navigation dial to scroll through the screens.
Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) Mode
Sensitive AVR setting: when receiving input voltages of 98 VAC – 140
VAC, the MB1500 supplies a regulated voltage of 120 VAC ± 5%. Stan-
dard AVR setting: when receiving input voltages of 93 VAC – 145 VAC,
the MB1500 supplies a regulated voltage of 120 VAC ± 10%. AVR OFF
setting: AVR is disabled, no voltage correction.
UPS Mode
In the event of a loss of power to the unit, over-voltage, or under-volt-
age, the MB1500 will function as a battery back-up. An audible alarm
will sound and the display will indicate the fault as well as the number
of minutes of battery life remaining.
Setup Mode
The setup menu allows the user to adjust several of the operating pa-
rameters of the unit.
Setup Menu Navigation
Clockwise (CW) rotation of the navigation dial advances the menu to
the next item. If the menu is at the last item, SYSTEM INFO, return
to Normal Operation Mode. Counter clockwise (CCW) rotation of the
navigation dial sends the menu to the previous item. If the menu is at
the first item, DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS, it will return to Normal Operation
Mode. Pressing the navigation dial selects the current menu item. If
there is no activity of the navigation dial for 60 seconds, the menu will
automatically return to Normal Operation Mode.
Parameter Selection and Adjustment
CW rotation of the navigation dial INCREASES the selected parameter,
or advances to the NEXT available value. CCW rotation of the navigation
dial DECREASES the selected parameter, or goes back to the PREVIOUS
value. Pressing the navigation dial selects the current parameter value.
If there is no activity of the navigation dial for 60 seconds, it will return
to Normal Operation Mode. If the BACK parameter is selected, it will
return to the menu item selection.
Display Brightness
Display Brightness adjusts the brightness of the display backlight.
Display Scroll Mode
If enabled, the display will automatically advance to the next screen
after the designated interval {5 SEC, 10 SEC}.
Display Sleep Mode
With Display Sleep Mode enabled, the Display will go to the lowest
brightness setting (25%) after the designated time of inactivity of the
Navigation Dial {30 SEC, 60 SEC}.
The display will return to the set brightness level upon entering Setup
Mode, or UPS Mode.
Automatic Regulation Setup
Setup for Automatic Voltage Regulation parameters: Off, Standard
Mode, Sensitive Mode.
Outlet Bank 3 Setup
Adjusts the battery charge threshold in which Outlet Bank 3 is shut off
to conserve power for the critical loads connected to Outlet Bank 1 &
2. If set to OFF, Outlet Bank 3 will shut off immediately when the unit
goes into UPS Mode.
Outlet Bank 4 Setup
Adjusts the battery charge threshold in which Outlet Bank 4 is shut off
to conserve power for the critical loads connected to Outlet Bank 1 &
2. If set to OFF, Outlet Bank 4 will shut off immediately when the unit
goes into UPS Mode.
External Battery
If using the external battery, BATT1500-EXT, set to YE
S.
IR1 and IR2 Control Setup
IR1 Control Setup is a two-step process in which the IR remote control
signal is sampled, and tested by outputting the learned signal on the
output jack.
IR Output Delay
IR Output Delay is the time delay before outputting the IR signals on the
IR output jacks after the unit goes into UPS mode.
IR Output Delay time starts at 0 sec, incremented in 5 sec intervals,
with a maximum value of 60 sec.
Setup Buzzer Mode
Change the UPS BUZZER MODE to set it to on or off.
UPS Test Mode
UPS Test Mode places the unit in UPS Mode temporarily to verify that
the UPS inverter can adequately supply the connected load.
