UPS Controls |
|
Standby |
When clicked, switches the device into standby mode. In this mode, the UPS provides only surge protection and battery backup. When not in standby mode, the UPS provides additional features, including buck-boost technology, which automatically increases or decreases the output voltage as necessary. |
In Standby |
Lit (green) when the device is in standby mode. |
Reboot |
When clicked, power-cycles the device.
|
Input/Output |
|
Input VAC |
Mains power input voltage arriving into the UPS. |
Output VAC |
Output voltage supplied by the UPS. |
Output Frequency |
Output frequency in Hz. Note: When the UPS is no longer receiving power and the batteries are used, this reading will change. Check the UPS specification for details. |
Output Amps |
Current supplied by the UPS. |
Output Watts |
Power supplied by the UPS. |
Output Pct |
Power output as a percentage of the maximum. |
Output V Boosted 1 |
Lit (red) when the output voltage has been boosted automatically by the first boost level when it is below the required level. |
Output V Boosted 2 |
Lit (red) when the output voltage has been boosted automatically by the second boost level when it is below the required level. |
Output V Bucked |
Lit (red) when the output voltage has been reduced automatically when it is above the required level. |
Outlets Off |
Lit (red) when the power outlets from the UPS are switched off. |
No load |
Lit (yellow) when there is no load on the outputs from the UPS. |
Overload |
Lit (red) when an output on the UPS is drawing more power than the device can supply. |
Output Shorted |
Indicates that one of the outputs has short circuited. |
Battery Status |
|
Battery Capacity |
Available battery power as a percentage of the total available power. |
Charge Time |
The amount of time required to fully recharge the battery. |
Battery Remaining |
Amount of time left before the battery is drained. |
Battery Full |
Lit (green) when the battery is fully charged. |
Battery Changing |
Lit (yellow) when the battery is charging. |
Battery Discharging |
Lit (red) when the battery is discharging. As soon as the UPS is receiving power, and the battery is being charged, the LED will be turned off. |
Capacity Low |
Lit (red) when the battery capacity has reached a low level. |
Capacity Critical |
Lit (red) when the battery capacity has reached a critical level. |
Capacity Exhausted |
Lit (red) when there is no capacity left in the battery. |
Battery Voltage |
The voltage level supplied by the battery. |
Battery Test |
Lit (yellow) when the battery is in test mode. |
UPS Status |
|
Power On Pending |
Lit (yellow) when the UPS has been switched on, but has not yet started to power up. |
Shutdown pending |
Lit (yellow) when the UPS has been switched off, and will be powering down shortly. |
Cabinet Temp |
The temperature measured inside the cabinet / casing of the UPS.
|
Hardware Warning |
Lit (red) when a warning condition has been detected inside the UPS. Check the UPS documentation for more information. |
Hardware Error |
Lit (red) when an error condition has been detected inside the UPS. Check the UPS documentation for more information. |
Utility Pwr Failure |
Lit (red) when the utility power (input mains power) has failed. The UPS will automatically start supplying battery power. |
Utility Freq Abnormal |
Lit (red) when the frequency of the utility power (input mains power) is no longer at its regular level. In the US, for example, it is normally 60Hz and in the UK, 50Hz. |
Utility Volts Abnormal |
Lit (red) when the voltage of the utility power (input mains power) is no longer at its regular level. In the US, for example, it is normally 110V and in the UK, 240V. |
Non-Critical Outlets |
|
Noncritical Outlets |
When clicked, switches on the output from the non-critical outlets on the UPS. The UPS only normally guarantees power for the maximum available time from the critical outlets, and power from the non-critical outlets for a reduced time. |
Noncritical Off |
Lit (red) when power output for the non-critical outlets is switched off. |
Scheduled On |
Lit (green) when the UPS has been automatically powered up according to a predefined schedule. |
Scheduled Off |
Lit (yellow) when the UPS has been automatically powered down according to a predefined schedule. |
Off below threshold |
Lit (red) when when the UPS has been automatically powered down, because the available battery power has dropped below a predefined threshold. |
