OPERATION
nce the system has been properly installed, it 
is ready to operate. The following procedures 
will explain how to start-up the system while 
plugged into rated electrical power and also 
how to start-up with no AC power available. 
Normal Operation on AC Start-Up: 
• Verify that the unit is plugged into properly rated 
electrical power.
• Connect Cable from Aux. Battery Box to UPS. 
• Position the Input Circuit Breaker to the ON 
position.
• Position the System Power Switch to the ON
position and the BYPASS SWITCH to the INV 
position. You will now have Bypass power at the 
receptacles. 
The system will proceed through about a three 
second diagnostic where all the L.E.D.s will sequence 
ON then OFF. The AC IN L.E.D. will flash several 
times and the audible alarm will give a short burst. 
The AC IN light L.E.D. will then stay 
ON and the
battery level meter will light to at least an 80% level. 
The INVERTER L.E.D. will come 
ON and inverter
power will now be available at all the output 
receptacles. The LOAD I and LOAD II will come 
ON.
Actual load may be connected at any time during this 
procedure, however inverter power is only available 
when the L.E.D. above either of the LOAD switches is 
ON continuously. 
Battery Operation after AC Start-Up: 
• Unplug the unit from the standard wall outlet. 
The AC In L.E.D. will flash at two to three second 
intervals. Within 5 seconds, the audible alarm will 
sound at half-second intervals. 
• Push and hold in the ALARM SILENT/TEST 
switch until the audible alarm is inhibited.
If operation were to continue in this mode, the 
BATTERY LEVEL meter would start to turn 
OFF, one
L.E.D. at a time starting from the top. Once the last 
L.E.D. is left, the alarm will sound in a constant tone. 
Had the alarm been previously silenced, it would still 
re-enable to alert the user of limited operation. This 
alarm can also be silenced as before. If the unit is 
allowed to operate further, it will time shut off the 
loads. If power were to return, the unit will 
automatically restart and return to the condition it was 
in at the moment it went into Battery Mode. 
DC Start Operation (Cold Start) 
If no utility power is available at the time backup 
power is required, the unit may be started to 
accomplish abbreviated tasks. The limitations of the 
battery prevent extended operations at full load. 
• Position the System Power Switch to the ON
position.
• Push and hold in the COLD START switch until
the audible alarm beeps.
The unit will start up similarly to normal AC start-up 
except the AC IN L.E.D. will continue to flash. The 
LOAD outputs will come up in the 
OFF mode when
using the COLD START feature. You must press and 
hold the LOAD I or LOAD II switch to activate the 
inverter. 
Loading the System 
The system can be loaded up to full rated load. As 
load is applied, the LOAD METER will start to turn 
ON. The LOAD METER will not work when you are in 
a “Manual Bypass”. Once full load is achieved, the 
full LOAD METER should be lit. As additional load is 
applied, the top red OVERLOAD L.E.D. will come 
ON.
If too much overload is applied, the audible alarm will 
sound. If this increased load is not removed within 
five seconds, the unit will discontinue output 
operation and latch into an alarm condition. The 
audible alarm will continue to sound and the ALARM 
L.E.D. will light. Reducing the load and cycling the 
System Power Switch 
OFF then ON can reset the
system. 
Programming the Outputs: 
The outputs on startup can be programmed 
ON or
OFF. The default mode is programmed to turn both 
load circuits 
ON whenever you power up the UPS on
AC startup. They will stay energized until you turn 
OFF the UPS, the batteries run down during a power 
outage or if the appropriate load button is pressed. 
To program both loads to be 
OFF when the UPS is
turned
ON:
• Turn the UPS OFF. 
• Turn the UPS ON while pressing and holding the 
LOAD I OR II switch.
• The UPS will come ON with both loads OFF and
will remember this setting each time the unit is 
turned 
ON.
To program both loads to come
ON:
• Turn the UPS OFF. 
• Turn the UPS ON while pressing and holding both 
LOAD I and LOAD II switches (this definitely 
requires both hands). The UPS will remember 
this combination the next time it is powered 
ON.
To program LOAD I or LOAD II to come
ON
individually at startup: 
• Turn the UPS OFF. 
• Turn the UPS ON while pressing and holding 
either LOAD I or LOAD II switches.
