Power Sensitivity This setting is normally set to 100%, which enables the UPS to protect against waveform distortions in its AC input. When such distortion occurs, the UPS will normally switch to providing pure sine wave power from its battery reserves for as long as the distortion is present. In some areas with poor utility power or where the UPS’s input power comes from a backup generator, frequent brownouts and/or chronic waveform distortion could cause the UPS to switch to battery too often, draining its battery reserves. You may be able to reduce how often your UPS switches to battery due to waveform distortion or brownouts by experimenting with different settings. As the setting is reduced, the UPS becomes more tolerant of variations in its input power’s AC waveform. Note: When experimenting with different settings, operate connected equipment in a safe test mode so that the effect on the equipment of any waveform distortions in the UPS’s output can be evaluated without disrupting critical operations. The experiment should last long enough to assure that all expected line conditions are encountered. 18-05-213-933148.indb 14 7/13/2018 1:04:23 PM15 YES Basic Operation Tap the button repeatedly to advance to Sensitivity display, as shown on the previous page.

External Battery Setting Control (Select Models) This control menu option only appears when the UPS is configured using the External Battery Utility software and is reporting “YES” in the External Battery LCD Control Screen. This setting is normally set to “YES.” The only available LCD interface configuration option is to change the setting from “YES” to “NO” external batteries. Note: See the Optional Installation section for information on configuring the UPS for external battery operation using the External Battery Utility software. Tap the button repeatedly to advance to the External Battery display, as shown above. To set the UPS to “NO” External Battery, press and hold the button for 3.5 seconds. Note: The Battery Runtime calculation is based on this setting. The runtime will automatically recalculate once the external battery setting is configured for “NO” external batteries. Factory Mode Reset The LCD settings can be restored to Factory Mode by holding the MODE and ENTER/MUTE buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds while in any display mode. CAUTION: This action cannot be undone. The user must reconfigure the UPS for external batteries if the UPS’s setup includes external batteries. 18-05-213-933148.indb 15 7/13/2018 1:04:23 PM16 15A 120V
