system OFF and cut power to connected equipment loads. To ensure you hold the button for the
correct length of time, do not release the button until you hear the UPS System’s audible alarm
beep twice. The first beep occurs after one second and indicates that the UPS will turn OFF if the
button is released. The second beep occurs after three seconds and indicates that the UPS will
perform a self-test if the button is released.
The test will last approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery to test its load capacity
and charge. All LEDs will be lit and the UPS alarm will sound. See LED descriptions below to
determine the results of the Self-Test.
ON/OFF LED:
This green LED lights continuously to indicate that the UPS is ON and supplying your equipment with
AC power either from a utility source or from the UPSs internal batteries. If the UPSs alarm is
sounding (4 short beeps followed by a pause), the UPS is operating from its internal batteries.
Overload/Check Battery LED:
This red LED lights continuously after a self-test to indicate the capacity of the battery-supported
outlets has been exceeded. To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the battery-
supported outlets; then use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a Self-Test. If the UPS continues to
detect an overload, remove more equipment and repeat the self-test until successful.
CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately following a self-test may
cause the UPS to shut down and cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or
brownout.
The LED flashes to indicate the battery needs to be recharged or replaced. If the LED
flashes (and a continuous alarm sounds) during a prolonged blackout or brownout, the UPS’s
batteries are nearly out of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment
immediately. If the LED flashes following a UPS self-test (after the UPS is turned ON), it may indicate
that the battery needs to be replaced.
Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours, then
use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a self-test. If the LED continues to flash, the unit needs to be
replaced.
