Operation Modes In a stand-alone installation, the UPS has four different operation modes. If the installation includes a Maintenance Bypass Panel test mode will also be available. Normal operation During normal operation, the UPS converts mains power to conditioned power for the connected load. Battery operation During battery operation, the UPS provides power to the connected load from its batteries for a finite period.
Operation – Operation Modes Wrap -around maintenance bypass The UPS can be connected to an external Maintenance Bypass Panel. When activated, this panel bypasses the entire UPS Enclosure (only possible with an optional APC Maintenance Bypass Panel), feeding mains power directly to the load. An activated wrap-around Maintenance Bypass Panel completely isolates the UPS and allows all kinds of maintenance to be performed – including a replacement of the entire UPS.
The Display Introduction CAUTION! The display provides access to more functions than described in this manual. In order to avoid unwanted load impacts these functions should not be accessed without the assistance of APC Customer Support. For APC Worldwide Customer Support, refer to rear cover of this manual. Four Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicators report the operational status of the UPS.

Operation – Restart procedure Wait approximately 30 seconds for the system to boot up and perform a self test. Note After system boot-up, the display will automatically prompt you on how to confirm/select voltage and frequency as shown in the following. Voltage confirmation See display introduction under The Display.
Mechanical Bypass Mechanical Bypass Lever For increased availability, the UPS contains an internal mechanical bypass system providing mains power directly to the output, bypassing all UPS electronics. CAUTION! The load is not protected by the UPS when the internal mechanical bypass system is active and the power is not conditioned. Switch into mechanical bypass If the UPS is running and controllable through the display, carry out steps 1 through 6. If not, go directly to step 4.
