The red, back lit liquid crystal display (LCD) on the front panel of the 
Back-UPS displays realtime system status messagessystem faults and 
warningsLOAD Capacity, and Battery Charge level. Two switches are  
provided on the front panel, the power ON/OFF pushbutton switch on the 
left, and the DISPLAY/HOLD TO MUTE pushbutton on the right. 

ON LINE - is lit whenever utility power is supplied to power 
the equipment connected to the Back-UPS. 

ON BATT - the On Battery symbol is lit whenever battery 
backup  power is used to power equipment connected to the 

           Back-UPS.

If the rear panel Building Wiring Fault (red) indicator is 
lit, a potential shock hazard exists due to one of the 
following conditions: 
   •  Open or high resistance ground 
   •  Hot and Neutral polarities are reversed 
   •  Overloaded neutral circuit 
Improper building wiring should be corrected by a 
qualified electrician. Do not use the Back-UPS until the 
condition that caused the fault is corrected. 
Note
: Improper building wiring will not prevent the Back-

UPS from operating, but it will limit its protection 
capability.

9 SWITCH ON THE BACK-UPS

Note: Allow the Back-UPS to charge for a full 16 hours 

prior to using it.

Press the front panel Power ON/OFF switch, and observe 
that the following events occur after you press and release  
the switch:

• The LCD turns on (is back lit). 
• The ON LINE indicator flashes.
• The ON BATT indicator lights and flashes while a  

self-test is being performed.

• When self-test has successfully completed, only the 

ON LINE indicator will be lit.

• If the internal battery cartridge is not connected (see 

Step 2 above), the ON BATT indicator will flash.  The 
Back-UPS will also emit a chirping sound.

Note: This diagram is also used for battery cartridge replacement. 

Overload - is lit whenever power demand exceeds the 
capacity of the Back-UPS. It is displayed in both ON LINE 
mode, and ON BATT mode. 

Continuous tone - this alarm sounds whenever the battery 

backup outputs are overloaded. Overload mode is covered 
in greater detail on Page 2.

Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds - this alarm sounds whenever 
the Back-UPS is running on battery (ON BATT). You should 
consider saving any work in progress.

            Continuous Beeping - this alarm sounds whenever a low 
            battery condition occurs, and battery run-time is very low. 
            Promptly save any work in progress, exit all open applications, 

           and shut down the operating system, computer,

Chirps for 1 Minute every 5 hours - this alarm sounds 
whenever the battery fails the automatic diagnostic test.

Replace battery - this is lit whenever the battery is near the 
end of its useful life, or if the battery is not connected. A 

  battery nearing the end of its life should be replaced.

However, when all five blocks are filled, the LOAD is at full 
capacity. If the LOAD exceeds the unit’s rated capacity, the Over-
load
 symbol on the bottom of the display will flash off and on. 

Battery Charge - this indicator consists of a bar 

with five blocks. When all five blocks are filled, the 

battery is fully charged. When only one block is filled (lit) the 
battery charge is low. The word LOW and the Battery Capacity 
indicator bar both flash off  and on. 

 System Faults - when a fault occurs, this symbol 

and the fault number (F01 - F09) will flash off and 
on. The nine fault messages are described further on 

  Page 2. 

Mute mode -  the audible alarm (beeper) can be 
muted (turned off), which is indicated by a line 
through the beeper symbol. Mute mode is covered in 
greater detail on Page 2. 

AVR

Self-Test mode - can be run at any time when in ON LINE 
mode

. Self-test is covered in greater detail on Page 2. 

Sensitivity mode - this allows you to go into sensitivity 
programming mode, and using the DISPLAY button you can 
select the LOMID or HIGH sensitivity range. Sensitivity 
mode is covered in greater detail on Page 2. 

Full Time Display mode - this mode allows you to set the 
LCD to full time display mode using the DISPLAY button. 
This mode is covered in greater detail on Page 2.
