3.2 Starting-up the UPS
IMPORTANT! Do not start the UPS until after the installation is finished, the system is commissioned
by an authorized engineer, and the external input circuit breakers are closed.
CAUTION: Starting the UPS applies mains/utility power to the output terminals. Make sure that
the load power is safe and ready to accept power. If the load is not ready, isolate the load with
the output terminal.

it is properly wired to an Emergency Power- Off circuit (normally closed).
2. Make sure the breaker supplying power to the UPS is closed, and if necessary press the input
circuit breaker reset buttons at the rear of the UPS.
3. Close all output breakers on the rear of the UPS (or in an external panel board, if used).
4. Power-on the UPS by pressing and holding the power button on the operation and display
panel until the confirmation dialog appears. Use the Up/ Down arrows to select YES, then press
Enter.

then it automatically transfers to Battery mode for the back-up time available or the mains/utility power is
restored. Once input power is restored, the UPS returns to Normal mode.
NOTE: Battery back-up run times are listed in
