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.
