Note: Cold start is not a normal operating condition. On-battery and low battery alarms work as described

in section 6.

6. Alarms

6.1 On Battery

In on-battery operation, the on-battery LED illuminates and the UPS sounds an audible alarm consisting of

four beeps every 30 seconds. The alarm stops when the UPS returns to on-line operation.

6.2 Overload

When the UPS is overloaded (i. e., when the connected loads exceed maximum listed in section 12) the

overload LED illuminates and the UPS emits a sustained tone. The alarm remains on until the overload is

removed. Disconnect nonessential load equipment from the UPS to eliminate the overload. The UPS tests

for overloads when operating on-battery and when performing self-tests.

6.3 Replace Battery

If the battery fails a self test, the UPS emits short beeps for one minute and the Replace Battery LED illumi-

nates. The UPS repeats the alarm every five hours. After one week, the alarm becomes continuous. Perform

the self-test procedure in Section 5.2 to confirm replace battery conditions. The alarm stops when the bat-

tery passes the self-test.

6.4 Low Battery

On-battery, when the energy reserve of the battery runs low, the UPS beeps continuously until the UPS

shuts down from battery exhaustion or returns to on-line operation.

7. Options

7.1 Interface kits

For computer systems that have built-in UPS monitoring features, a series of interface kits are available to

connect the UPS to your system. Each kit includes the appropriate interface cable to convert the UPS status

signals into signals your system recognizes (use only factory supplied or authorized UPS monitoring

cables). See your dealer or call the number at the front of this manual for more information.
