Back-UPS CS 350/500/650 - CNET Content

1 USBRJ-45In situations where the Back-UPS or connected equipment appears too sensitive to input voltage, it may benecessary to adjust the transfer voltage. This is a simple task requiring use of the front panel pushbutton. Toadjust the transfer voltage, proceed as follows: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 toacknowledge going into Programming The Back-UPS will then indicate its current Sensitivity Setting, as shown in the following To select the Low Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until the yellow indicator is To select the Medium Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until the yellow and red indicators (second andthird from the top) are To select the High Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until yellow and both red indicators (bottom three)are To exit without changing the Sensitivity Setting, press the pushbutton until the green indicator is Once in Programming Mode, if the pushbutton is not pressed within 5 seconds, the Back-UPS will exitProgramming Mode; all indicators will VoltageRange(for utility operation)Use When1(yellow)Low160 - 278 VacInput voltage is extremely low or high.
