UPS  operations  41  
Configure mode 
The UPS can be placed in Configure mode while in Operate mode  (on page 40), Battery mode  (on page 
41) or Standby mode  (on page 40). 
In Configure mode:  
• Power is available at the UPS receptacles when entered from Operate mode. Power is not available 
at the receptacles when entered from Standby mode.  
• The UPS charges the batteries as necessary. 
• The UPS configuration can be updated. 
To place the UPS in Configure mode, press  and hold the On and Test/Alarm Reset buttons 
simultaneously for 3 seconds. The Load Level indicators flash briefly, and then display the enabled 
options.  
For the location of buttons, see " UPS front panel controls (on page  7)."  
For the location of LEDs, see " UPS front panel LED indicators  (on page 7 )." 
 
Battery mode  
When utility power is lost, the UPS automatically transfers from Operate mode  (on page 40) to Battery 
mode.  
In Battery mode, the UPS supplies power without being connected to utility power. When utility power 
becomes available, the UPS returns to Operate mode.  
After the UPS is initially connected to utility power, it can be started on battery power thereafter. To start 
the UPS in Battery mode (no utility power present), press and hold the On and Battery Start buttons 
simultaneously for three seconds.  
 
Auto-Bypass mode 
The UPS automatically enters Auto- Bypass mode when one of the following conditions occurs:  
• The power from the UPS reaches a percentage greater than 110 percent for more than 10 cycles or 
between 103 percent and 110 percent for more than 30 seconds.  
• The UPS detects an overtemperature condition (on page 57). 
• The UPS detects a fan failure.  
• There is an internal UPS failure while in Operate mode  (on page 40). 
All internal faults transfer the UPS to either Auto- Bypass or Converter Off mode ("UPS is in Converter Off 
mode" on page 55) , depending on whether the load is being powered at the time the fault is detected. The 
UPS can be forced to Converter Off mode from Auto- Bypass mode by pressing the Off button, and can be 
sent back to Auto- Bypass mode by pressing the On button.  
 
Operating the UPS front panel controls    
  NOTE:
  If the On and Off buttons are simultaneously pressed, the Off button has priority over 
the On button.

To change the UPS configuration parameters:  
1. Place the UPS in Configure mode  (on page 41).  
The LEDs associated with the currently configured parameters illuminate. A flashing cursor indicates 
where you are in the configuration process as you scroll t hrough the available settings. 
2. Press the On button to scroll through the options. Each time the On button is pressed, the audible 
alarm sounds.  
3. If the On button is pressed and the UPS does not respond, the UPS is in Operate mode  (on page 
40). Start over with step 1. 
4. Press the Off button once to toggle the selected option on or off.   
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each option.  
6. To save the configuration settings and exit Configure  mode, press and hold the Test/Alarm Reset 
button for 3 seconds.  
  
  NOTE:
  Configure mode times out after 2 minutes of inactivity. If the Test/Alarm Reset button 
has not been pressed, any new selections are not saved.  
  
For the location of buttons, see " UPS front panel controls (on page  7)."  
For the location of LEDs, see " UPS front panel LED indicators  (on page 7 )."  
Initiating a self-test  
To initiate a self-test, press and hold the Test/Alarm Reset button  ("UPS front panel controls " on page 7 ) 
for three seconds.  
If the UPS detects a problem, the appropriate LED  (" UPS front panel LED indicators " on page 7) 
illuminates and an audible alarm may sound.  
For information on what to do if the self -test detects a problem, see " Troubleshooting (on page 54)." 
 
Silencing an audible alarm  
To silence an alarm, press the Test/Alarm Reset button  ("UPS front panel controls " on page 7).   
  IM PORT ANT :
   
•   Although the audible alarm silences, the condition that caused the alarm to sound may still 
exist.  
•   If a utility power failure caused the alarm, the alarm silences after power is  restored.  
  
For information about audible alarm conditions, see " LED and audible alarm troubleshooting ("LED 
troubleshooting" on page 54 )."

Verifying the REPO port connection  
NOTE:
  While testing, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so the effects do not 
disrupt critical operations.  
After connecting the REPO port  (on page 20 ): 
1.Initiate a REPO by closing the REPO contact.
The Self Test, Battery Fault, Site Wiring Fault, Overtemperature, Overload, and Utility LEDs flash.
C
 AUTION:
  If the polarity is reversed while connecting the REPO port, the UPS powers up 
normally.  
2.Verify proper connection of the REPO port:
a.Power up the UPS  (" Starting power to the load" on page 25).
b.Disconnect the REPO port.
c.Reconnect the REPO port.
If the polarity is correct, the REPO connectors can be disconnected, and then reconnected,
without initiating a REPO.
d.Verify that the UPS remai ns in Operate mode (on page  40).
e.If a REPO is initiated, the polarity is reversed. Check and correct the connections.
Powering down the UPS 
1.Shut down all load devices.
2.Press the Off button to take the UPS out of Operate mode. Power to the load receptacles ceases.

Important  battery safety information  
WARNING:
  The unit contains sealed lead- acid battery modules. To prevent fire or chemical 
burns:  
• Do not attempt to recharge batteries after removal from the unit.
• Do not disassemble, crush, or puncture the batteries.
• Do not short the external contacts of the batteries.
• Do not immerse the batteries in water.
• Do not expose to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F).
W ARNING:
  To prevent personal injury from hazardous energy:  
• Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
• Use tools with insulated handles.
• Do not place tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
W ARNING:
  To prevent personal injury, prepare the area and observe all materials -handling 
procedures when transporting a battery module. Battery modules weigh 2 0 kg (44.1 lb). 
NOTE:
  Replace all battery modules at the same time.  
Battery care and storage guidelines 
•Minimize the amount of time the UPS uses battery power by matching the UPS configuration with the
utility voltage. Refer to "Configuring the UPS  (on page 42).
"
•Keep the area around the UPS clean and dust -free. If the environment is very dusty, clean the
out

side of the UPS regularly with a vacuum cleaner.
•Maintain the ambient temperature at 25°C (77°F).
•If storing a UPS for an extended period, recharge the batteries every 6 months:
C
 AUTION:
  Because of the short shelf life of the batteries, avoid  storing a battery spare as a 
backup. Do not maintain an inventory of spare batteries on site unless a procedure to keep 
these batteries charged while in storage is implemented.  
a.Connect the UPS to utility power.
b.Allow the UPS to remain in Standby mode.
c.Allow the UPS to charge the batteries for at least 24 hours.
d.Update the battery recharge date label.
Determining when to replace batteries  
When the Battery Fault LED illuminates, batteries might need to be replaced within 30 to 60 days.  
When a battery alarm sounds, initiate a UPS battery self -test to verify that battery replacement is required. 
If the Battery Fault LED remains illuminated, replace the batteries as soon as possible.  
For more information on initiating a self -test, see " Initiating a self -test  (on page  43)." 
For the location of LEDs, see "UPS front panel LED indicators  (on page 7 )."  
						

							Maintenance 47 
Obtaining new batteries   New batteries might be required within 30 to 60 days when the Battery Fault LED illuminates. Obtain 
spare batteries for the UPS when this
 occurs. 
Spare battery modules are available for this UPS. The UPS spare battery kit part number is 517703-
001. 
CAUTION:   Because of the short shelf life of the batteries, avoid storing a battery spare as a 
backup. Do not maintain an inventory of spare batteries on site unless a procedure to keep 
these batteries charg ed while in storage is implemented.
