3.5 Controlling the Unit with the Standard Interface Device (SID)

The Standard Interface Device (SID) display panel (Figure 3.4) shows vital operating param-
eters and starts the self test. It has two push buttons, five LEDs showing the power drawn by the
loads and six LEDs showing the unit’s operating status.

LEDs

Line Present

This green LED is:

On when the unit is running on line power.

Off when there is no line power.

Flashing when the line is present but unqualified.

Line Failure

This yellow LED is on when:

The line voltage is greater than +10 % or less than –20% of nominal voltage.

The line frequency is outside of ± 3% of the nominal frequency.

The unit is providing backup battery power to the loads.

TIP: Also see Low Battery Warning and Low Battery Shutdown.

This red LED shows the unit has a malfunction. Press and hold down the Alarm Off switch
and note which Output Load LEDs turns on or flashes (Section 3.4).

Low Battery Warning

batteries are almost discharged and a shutdown is pending. You should begin a shut-
down of the loads.
