SUMMARY OF INDICATORS AND CONTROLS
SYSTEM POWER SWITCH
- The main control
switch that engages utility power to the entire unit.
By activating this switch it initializes normal
operation.
AC In
- The utility input indicator that identifies
status of the line voltage. If the line voltage is within
the specified range, it will remain lit. If the AC input
is out of range, this indicator will flash in 1 to 2
second intervals.
Inverter
- This indicator identifies the status of the
regenerated, conditioned protected output power.
This indicator will stay
ON
as long as protected
power is available from the power inverter generator.
Battery Level
- This is the battery status bar graph.
During normal operation, this bar graph will show the
charging of the battery; all indicators lit will represent
a fully charged battery. During battery operation,
this bar graph represents a discharge meter
indicating less battery time available as each light
goes
OFF
.
Load Level
- This is the system output capacity
status bar. The number of lights on the graph
indicate an approximate percentage of system full
load. All lights being
ON
would indicate full load.
Cold Start
- A momentary push-button switch to
activate the system in the event no utility power is
available. The system will be allowed to start up by
using power from its internal battery. Depress this
switch, the indicator above it will light, and hold it in
until the audible alarm beeps once. The system will
maintain a load depending upon the condition of the
battery.
Load I
- A momentary push-button switch that
toggles the output LOAD I AC output terminals at the
rear panel. Unless the unit is powered up using the
Cold Start switch, the output load will normally be
connected to the inverter generator output. The
indicator above the switch will be
ON
to represent
this. Depressing the switch can disconnect the
output. While the switch is depressed, the indicator
will blink to represent transition. Once the indicator
stops blinking, the switch can be released for a
successful transition.
Load II
- A momentary push-button switch that
works identical to LOAD I except it corresponds to
the LOAD II AC output terminals at the rear panel.
SNMP
– (Optional) A slot available to install an
interface card to provide system network
management.
Alarm Silent/Test
- A momentary push-button
switch that controls two different functions
depending on the mode of operation. In the normal
mode of operation, if this switch is depressed and
held in, the above indicator will blink. Once it stops
blinking, the unit will perform an internal 1 to 2
minute battery check. Once the test is completed, if
the battery is below standards, the system will
indicate that the battery needs replacing. The
system will not run this battery test unless the
battery is detected to be fully charged. During
battery or abnormal operation, an audible alarm will
accompany this mode. By depressing this switch,
the adjacent indicator will blink. When it stops
blinking, the alarm will be silenced. Once the fault or
reason for the alarm is corrected, this audible alarm
condition will automatically reset. The audible alarm
can be re-enabled during abnormal conditions by
pressing and holding the switch again.
NOTE
- All switches must be held in for at least two
seconds to engage their function. This is to prevent
any inadvertent switch operation.
Alarm
- This is a fault indicator that will light in the
event that the inverter generator is non-operable.
This could be due to an over temperature situation
or an inverter malfunction.
INPUT
– An input cord with L5-20P(120Vin) or
L6-15P(240Vin) to an IEC320(UPS).
FUSE
– The power protection device for the input
circuitry.
DC INPUT
- The auxiliary battery input connector to
add optional batteries for extended backup time.
120VAC OUTPUT (Load I & Load II)
- The output
receptacle that can be independently controlled by
the corresponding front panel switch. During normal
operation, inverter generator power is supplied at
these outlets. Three separate hardwire circuits have
been provided. They are individually protected by
circuit breakers.
SIGNAL
- A DB-9 subminiature, female connector
that outputs the open-collector signal contacts that
generate a low state during
utility interrupt
,
low
battery
and
inverter off
conditions.
RS232
- A DB-9 subminiature, female connector that
outputs true RS232 computer communications
signals.
IDENTIFICATION LABEL
- The model number and
serial number of the system is located here. This
label is located on the underside of the unit Always
refer to this information when corresponding with the
factory.
