Basic Operation
Buttons
For SmartPro Models Only—“POWER” Button:
• To turn the UPS ON: With the UPS plugged into a live AC wall outlet,* press
and hold the POWER button for about two seconds.** Release the button. If
utility power is absent, you can “cold-start” the UPS (i.e.: turn it ON and supply
power for a limited time from its batteries***) by pressing and holding the
POWER button for about two seconds.**
• To turn the UPS OFF: With the UPS ON and receiving utility power, press and
hold the POWER button for one second.** Then unplug the UPS from the wall
outlet. The UPS will be completely OFF.
*After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries,
but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON. ** The alarm will beep once
briefly after the indicated interval has passed. *** If fully charged.
For OmniSmart Models Only—“UPS/STANDBY” Button:
Use the UPS/STANDBY button to do three things:
Switch the UPS Operating Mode: While your UPS is plugged into a live AC
outlet, press the UPS/STANDBY button and hold it until you hear a beep (about
2 seconds) to toggle between the following operating modes. Choose the
operating mode based on the regional guidelines in Step 3 of the Quick
Installation section.
• UPS Mode: ENABLES battery backup. UPS Conditions: While receiving
adequate utility line power, the UPS supplies power to its AC receptacles and
charges its batteries; its “POWER” indicator light will be lit. If the utility line
power fails or becomes inadequate, the UPS will supply inverted AC power
to its receptacles if its batteries are sufficiently charged. Setting Advantages:
Provides battery backup during blackouts or brownouts.
• STANDBY Mode: DISABLES battery backup. UPS Conditions: While receiving
adequate utility line power, the UPS supplies power to its AC receptacles and
charges its batteries; the “POWER” indicator light will be flashing. Setting
Advantages: Continues to charge the battery when power is present while
turning OFF the inverter to prevent battery depletion during power outages
when equipment is not in use.
Cold-Start Your UPS: You may “cold start” your UPS and use it as a stand-alone
power source when utility power is not present, providing that the UPS battery
is charged. To “cold start” your UPS, press and hold the UPS/STANDBY button
until you hear a beep (about 2 seconds), then release it. The “BATTERY CHARGE/
BATTERY POWER” indicator light will illuminate and AC power inverted from stored
battery power will be provided at the UPS receptacles.
Shut Down Your UPS: Press and hold the UPS/STANDBY button when AC
line power is absent (i.e. during a blackout, or when the UPS is unplugged) to
deactivate your UPS.
Note: Although some operational features and functions are common to all models, some
operational features vary depending on whether you are operating a SmartPro model or an
OmniSmart model.
