Operation ECONOMY MODE: Economy mode refers to an optional UPS configuration for reduced power consumption and heat output. A UPS in economy mode reduces power consumption by suspending the double conversion [AC-to-DC / DC-to-AC] process whenever input power is already of high enough quality to pass through to connected equipment unchanged. The UPS will automatically switch back to on-line mode if input power quality deteriorates to ensure that connected equipment receives high quality power under all conditions. ECONOMY MODE SAMPLE LCD SCREEN SELF-TEST MODE LCD VIEWING OPTIONS: When a SELF-TEST is initiated, the UPS will flash the words "TEST" & "BATT" and display the DC battery voltage for about 10 seconds. No other informational screens are viewable until after the self-test is complete and results are reported.

Operation
ECONOMY MODE:
Economy mode refers to an optional UPS configuration for reduced
power consumption and heat output. A UPS in economy mode
reduces power consumption by suspending the double conversion
[AC-to-DC / DC-to-AC] process whenever input power is already of
high
enough
quality
to
pass
through
to
connected
equipment
unchanged.
The UPS will automatically switch back to on-line mode
if
input
power
quality
deteriorates
to
ensure
that
connected
equipment receives high quality power under all conditions.

ECONOMY MODE LCD VIEWING OPTIONS:
When the UPS is configured for and energized into ECONOMY MODE,
the LCD screen will continue reporting the last viewed informational
screen (INPUT VOLTAGE shown).
To display additional information
screens, tap the SETUP button repeatedly.
The 10 available

BATTERY TEST MODE:
To verify battery backup operation of your UPS, you can periodically
perform a manual or programmed self-test of the UPS system. To
manually initiate a self-test while the UPS is operating in On-Line or
Economy mode, press the ON button switch until a beep is heard, then
release. Self-test can also be initiated via PowerAlert software at user
determined intervals (see PowerAlert software documentation for more
information). When a self-test is run, the UPS will cycle to battery power
for approximately 10 seconds and automatically switch back to AC mode.
Once complete, the UPS will report the self-test results on the LCD
screen for about 10 seconds.
SELF-TEST MODE LCD VIEWING OPTIONS:
When a SELF-TEST is initiated, the UPS will flash the words “TEST”
& “BATT” and display the DC battery voltage for about 10 seconds.
No other informational screens are viewable until after the self-test

If the UPS and battery system pass the self test, the screen will report
“PAS” in the three character display and return to normal online /
economy operation with the last viewed informational screen.
