6Functioning
6.1 Normal Mo e
The UPS typ cally works n Normal mo e: Input ma ns power s ava lable and ts ampl tude s w th n spec f cat ons.
In Normal mode the LINE/BATTERY led s always on.
Dur ng Normal mode, the UPS recharges the batter es and keeps them n an opt mal charg ng voltage.

User’s manual 8 UPS ECO 0.50 – 0.70 – 0.90 – 1.1 – 1.3
6.2 Battery Mo e
The UPS automat cally runs n Battery mo e f the AC Input L ne voltage ampl tude gets out of secur ty l m ts ( n
case of a black-out or over-voltage/low-voltage): n th s case, the UPS suppl es the requ red output power by ts
nternal battery and by the Inverter block.
The UPS automat cally returns n Normal mode a few seconds after the AC Input L ne s recovered.
In Battery mode the UPS em ts an acoust c alarm s gnal every 4 seconds and s multaneously the LINE/BATTERY led
flashes.
6.3 Low Battery an Automatic Restart
In Battery mode, ECO nd cates the Low Battery cond t on whenever the battery reaches a charge level allow ng
connected dev ces to operate for approx mately one more m nute.
Dur ng Low Battery cond t on the UPS em ts an acoust c alarm s gnal every second and s multaneously the
LINE/BATTERY led flashes.
If AC Input does not come back on w th n few m nutes, the UPS shuts- own automatically thus prevent ng the
batter es from d scharg ng excess vely; the UPS stops supply ng Output power, deact vates control panel nd cat on
and goes to a wa t ng state. Once AC Input comes back on, the UPS restarts automatically and after some seconds
t goes back to work n Normal mode.
After a complete d scharge, the UPS needs 4 hours to recharge completely the batter es. The UPS recharges
batter es automat cally f t works n Normal mode.
6.4 Loa Control
Dur ng the funct on ng n Battery Mode, f the Output load s h gher than nom nal value (Overloa con ition), the
UPS may automat cally sw tch off, protect ng tself from th s anomalous s tuat on. In th s case, the user must
reduce power w th n the spec f cat ons by d sconnect ng the dev ces that cause the Overloa con ition.
Do not connect a loa greater than rate value to the UPS (see POWER specifications in
the chapter “Technical Characteristics”), as this may amage the unit. In this case the
warranty is voi .
6.5 Fault Con ition
The UPS nd cates the Fault con ition by l ght ng of the Alarm led and by em tt ng a cont nuous acoust c alarm.
Dur ng Fault cond t on, the UPS doesn’t supply Output power and so all the suppl ed dev ces are sw tched off.
