EXTERNAL BATTERY PACK DETECTION PORT
Connecting the External Battery Detection cable from the UPS to the Battery
Pack allows the UPS to automatically detect the External Battery Pack. Once
the UPS detects that there is an External Battery Pack connected it will
automatically recalculate the estimated runtime based on the number of External
Battery Packs detected and the attached load on the UPS.
NOTE:
The
External Battery Pack can also be set through the LCD screen, the Power
Monitoring Software, or the SNMP card.
REPO (Remote Emergency Power Off) PORT
Connect one end of a two-wire cable to the REPO port (two pin terminal block)
and the other end of the two-wire cable to the EPO switch. Short pin1 to pin2
for approximately 0.5-seconds in the AC or the Battery mode to shutdown the
UPS. The UPS must be turned off and then back on again to restart the UPS.
The LCD screen will display EPo for this function.
ALARMS
ON BATTERY
When the UPS is operating on the Battery mode, the On-Battery icon will
illuminate, and the audible alarm will sound once every ten seconds. The alarm
will stop once the UPS returns to the AC normal mode.
LOW BATTERY WARNING
The audible alarm will sound two beeps every five seconds when the battery
reserve runs low. This condition will continue until AC returns or the UPS shuts
down from battery exhaustion.
WEAK/BAD/DISCONNECTED BATTERY
The UPS automatically tests the battery’s condition. If the battery is weak, bad,
or disconnected, the Weak/Bad/Disconnected Battery icon will illuminate, and
the audible alarm will beep three times every five minutes until the battery is
reconnected or replaced. This alarm will be repeated until the batteries pass a
self-test. It is recommended that the UPS be allowed to charge overnight
before performing a battery test to confirm a Weak/Bad Battery condition.
OVERLOAD
When the amount of load attached to the UPS exceeds 110% of its power rating;
the audible alarm will sound a constant alarm and the LCD screen will display
the error message 'UPS is overloaded - UPS will shutdown'. This alarm and
error message will remain on until the excess load is removed, or the UPS’s self-
protection circuit shuts the UPS down. If the UPS shuts down because of an
Overload condition, the UPS must perform an Inverter function and/or a Self-
Test to clear the Overload Alarm.
UPS FAULT
When the UPS detects a hardware fault, the Fault icon will illuminate, and the
audible alarm will sound a constant alarm and the LCD screen will display an
error message identifying the fault. The fault condition, in some instances, may
be reset by turning the UPS off and then on.
