printers and plug them into Surge Only outlets. | |
Note: Devices that have motors or dimmer switches (laser printers, | |

1. | Plug the Back-UPS into the utility power source. The Back-UPS will be in a Standby Mode (no | ||||
indicators lit). | |||||
2. | Press the front panel pushbutton fully inward for 10 seconds. All indicators on the Back-UPS will | ||||
flash to acknowledge going into Programming Mode. | |||||
3. | The Back-UPS will then indicate its current Lower Transfer Voltage, as shown in the following table. | ||||
Indicators Lit | Lower Transfer Voltage | Use When | |||
1 | 160 VAC | Back-UPS frequently goes On Battery due to | |||

4. | To select 160 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 1 indicator is flashing. | ||||
5. | To select 180 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 2 indicators are flashing. | ||||
6. | To select 196 volts as the Lower Transfer Voltage, press the pushbutton until 3 indicators are flashing. | ||||
7. | Once in Programming Mode, if the pushbutton is not pressed within 5 seconds, the Back-UPS will | ||||
exit the Programming Mode, and all indicators will extinguish. |
