Operation Operation Modes In an installation that does not include a maintenance bypass panel, the UPS has three operation modes. If the installation includes a PDU, a PDU-XR, or an external maintenance bypass panel, maintenance bypass operation also becomes available. Normal operation During normal operation, the UPS converts the utility/mains supply to conditioned power for the connected load.
Perform a total power off Warning: This procedure will disconnect the load. Warning: Verify that the UPS is in total power off mode by following this procedure. Note: If shutdown via the display is disabled, proceed to step two. If you want to enable shutdown via the display, then call APC. 1. Use the display interface to turn the UPS off. a.
