Reading the Status Indicators

The six lights on the left side of the monitor panel are

status indicators. They are

backlit by colored light emitting diode (LED) lamps, and work in conjunction with

the alarm horn to let you know the operating status of the UPS.

Normal

This green indicator is lit when the UPS is operating in Normal mode.

The power processing unit (PPU) is supplying power to the critical load.

Battery

This yellow indicator is lit when the UPS is operating in Battery mode.

Because Battery mode is a normal condition of the UPS, the Normal

indicator also remains lit.

Bypass

This yellow indicator is lit when the UPS is operating in Bypass mode.

The critical load is supported by the bypass source. The Normal indicator

is not lit when the system is in Bypass mode.

Notice

This yellow indicator is lit when the system needs attention. The LCD

screen shows all active notices. Some notices may be accompanied by
an audible horn. To silence the horn, press the

and

pushbuttons

simultaneously. The Notice indicator may be lit along with other indicators.

Alarm

This red indicator is lit when a situation requires immediate attention. The

LCD screen shows the highest priority active alarms. All alarms are

accompanied by an audible horn. To silence the horn, press the

and

pushbuttons simultaneously. The Alarm indicator may be lit

along with other indicators.

Standby

This yellow indicator is lit when electricity is present in the PPU of the UPS

and the Normal indicator is not lit. During normal startup, this indicator

illuminates until the UPS transfers to Normal mode, at which point the

Normal indicator is lit. During normal shutdown, the Standby indicator is lit

until all energy in the UPS is dissipated and shutdown is complete.

For more information about audible horns, refer to the

System Event Horns section of

Chapter 12.
To test the LED lamp status indicators, press the

and

pushbuttons

simultaneously for 3 seconds. All the indicators should light while you hold down

these pushbuttons. If any indicator does not light, its LED may need to be

replaced. Contact Customer Service if you have a problem with the indicator

lamps.
