User’s manual 8 UPS ERA LED 0.65 – 0.85 – 1.1
6Functioning
6.1 Normal Mode
The UPS typically works in Normal mode: Input mains power is available an its amplitu e is within specifications.
In Normal mo e the L NE/BATTERY le is always on.
During Normal mo e, the UPS recharges the batteries an keeps them in an optimal charging voltage.
6.2 Battery Mode
The UPS automatically runs in Battery mode if the AC Input Line voltage amplitu e gets out of security limits (in
case of a black-out or over-voltage/low-voltage): in this case, the UPS supplies the require output power by its
internal battery an by the Inverter block.
The UPS automatically returns in Normal mo e a few secon s after the AC Input Line is recovere .
In Battery mo e the UPS emits an acoustic alarm signal every 10 secon s an simultaneously the L NE/BATTERY
le flashes.
6.3 Low Battery and Automatic Restart
In Battery mo e, ERA LED in icates the Low Battery con ition whenever the battery reaches a charge level
allowing connecte evices to operate for approximately one more minute.
During Low Battery con ition the UPS emits an acoustic alarm signal every secon an simultaneously the
L NE/BATTERY le flashes.
If AC Input oes not come back on within few minutes, the UPS shuts-down automatically thus preventing the
batteries from ischarging excessively; the UPS stops supplying Output power, eactivates control panel in ication
an goes to a waiting state. Once AC Input comes back on, the UPS restarts automatically an after some secon s
it goes back to work in Normal mo e.
After a complete ischarge, the UPS nee s 4 hours to recharge completely the batteries. The UPS recharges
batteries automatically if it works in Normal mo e or if it is off an connecte to the AC Input Line.

6.4 Load Control
When the Output loa is higher than nominal value the UPS warns of Overload condition by emitting a continuous
acoustic alarm.
The UPS warns of an Overloa less than 110% by acoustic alarm.
An Overloa between 110% an 130% is accepte for about 30 secon s an after UPS switches automatically off.
The UPS switches imme iately off if the Overloa is higher than than 130%.
Once the requeste power is back within range, the UPS switches automatically to the Normal mo e.
Make sure that the UPS never indicates Overload condition.
Do not connect a load greater than rated value to the UPS (see POWER specifications in
the chapter “Technical Characteristics”), as this may damage the unit. n this case the
warranty is void.
6.5 Fault Condition
The UPS in icates the Fault condition by emitting a continuous acoustic alarm.
During Fault con ition, the UPS oesn’t supply Output power an so all the supplie evices are switche off.
7Communication nterface
The UPS is factory-equippe with USB Communication nterface. On the UPS rear si e there is the connector of
the USB Interface.
The USB signals are all isolated through photo-couplers from the dangerous voltages that are present inside
the UPS.
