Sensitivity adjustment settings
The UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery backup power to protect connected
equipment. In situations where either the UPS or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage
level it is necessary to adjust the transfer voltage.
1. Connect the UPS to a AC power source. Be sure the UPS is turned off.
2. Press and hold the
POWER button for six seconds. The load capacity bar will flash on and off, to indicate
the UPS is in Program mode.
3. Press
the POWER button again to scroll through the menu options. The UPS will beep to confirm the
selection.
When the UPS is in Sensitivity Configuration mode, the Sensitivity bar graph icons display the sensitivity level
setting. See the examples here as a reference.
