Basic Operation
Indicator Lights
All Indicator Light descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on.
"POWER" LED
For SMX Models Only: This green LED lights continuously when the UPS is ON
and supplying connected equipment with AC power from a utility source. The LED
flashes and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed by a pause) to indicate the
UPS is operating from its internal batteries during a blackout or severe brownout.
If the blackout or severe brownout is prolonged, you should save files and shut
down your equipment since internal battery power will eventually be depleted.
See "BATTERY CHARGE" LED description below.
For OMNIX Models Only: This green light will turn ON whenever your UPS is
receiving normal AC line power. It will flash while the UPS is in CHARGE ONLY
mode to indicate that the UPS will not provide battery backup during a blackout
or brownout.
"VOLTAGE CORRECTION" LED (SMX Models Only): This green LED lights
continuously whenever the UPS is automatically correcting high or low AC voltage
on the utility line without the assistance of battery power. The UPS will also emit
a slight clicking noise. These are normal, automatic operations of the UPS. No
action is required on your part.
"OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED:
For SMX Models Only: This multicolored LED indicates the approximate
electrical load of equipment connected to the UPS's AC outlets. It will turn from
green (light load) to yellow (medium load) to red (overload). If the LED is red
(either illuminated continuously or flashing), clear the overload immediately by
unplugging some of your equipment from the outlets until the LED changes from
red to yellow (or green) and the alarm is no longer sounding. CAUTION! Any
overload that is not corrected by the user immediately may cause the UPS
to shut down and cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout
or severe brownout.
For OMNIX Models Only: This red light will turn ON continuously when the UPS
is providing power from battery or after the UPS runs a self-test to indicate that
the UPS's inverter is overloaded. If it lights up, immediately remove some of the
equipment connected to the UPS and run a self-test. CAUTION! Any overload
that is not corrected by the user immediately may cause the UPS to shut
down and cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or
severe brownout.
