UPS front panel controls and LED indicators Item Description Function 1 Power On/Standby button Turns the UPS power on and off, and places the UPS in Standby mode.1 2 Power LED Green—The UPS is on and supplying connected equipment with AC power. Flashing green—The UPS is operating from its internal batteries during a blackout or severe brownout. If the blackout or brownout is prolonged, save any open files and shut down the connected equipment.
1 Item Description Function 6 Battery Warning LED Red—During a self-test, the UPS found that the batteries must be recharged. Charge the batteries and repeat the self-test ("Initiating a selftest" on page 35). 7 Mute/Test button Silences UPS alarms and initiates a self-test ("Initiating a self-test" on page 35). IMPORTANT: While in Standby mode, the UPS maintains the charge on the batteries, but no power is available at the output receptacles.
Item Description 13 ERM connector For information about controlling load segments remotely, see "Power management software (on page 37).
REPO port The UPS includes an RJ-11 type EPO port. The EPO function can be used to power down the UPS output receptacles in an emergency. This feature is enabled by utilizing a normally open (N.O.) switch (option 1) or a normally closed (N.C.) switch (option 2). The EPO port is referred to as a REPO port when used in conjunction with a remote main disconnect device that shuts down utility power in an emergency.
To restore power to the load devices after the REPO feature is activated, press the Power On/Standby button after the AC source is reconnected to the UPS. IMPORTANT: Pressing and holding the Power On/Standby button without utility present normally initiates a battery start and the UPS assumes the load. However, if the Power On/Standby button is pressed and a REPO is detected, battery start is inhibited and the UPS is not able to assume the load.

UPS operations In this section Initiating a self-test .................................................................................................................................. 35 Silencing an audible alarm...................................................................................................................... 35 Setting the power sensitivity adjustment dial .............................................................................................. 35 Powering down the UPS...........
UPS provides sine wave power from the battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In areas with poor utility power or where the UPS input power comes from a backup generator, continuous waveform distortion causes the UPS to switch to battery power. To minimize battery use, experiment with different settings for this dial. As the dial is turned clockwise, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in the input power's AC waveform.
