Status information about the Power Array and the modular
components can be reviewed using the PowerView. Status
information is accessed via the Status menu item on the
top level menu. Review the following status screens for con-
tent.
Position the arrow cursor next to the Status menu item on
the top level menu screen. Press the Enter key. The voltage
status screen appears.

Voltage Status Screen
Fig 7-5 Voltage Status Screen
The voltage status screen displays the following information:
Input Voltage (220.1) - the actual input voltage from the util-
ity power (mains) source.
Output Voltage (000.0) - the actual output voltage.
Load Current (00.0A) - the amperage drawn by the load.
After the voltage status screen has been reviewed, press the
Enter key. The load with redundancy status screen appears.

Screen
Fig 7-6 Percent Load With No Redundancy Status Screen
% Load Assuming No Redundancy - displays the percent of
the total Power Array capacity that is required by the load.
The total Power Array capacity is defined by the number of
power modules installed multiplied by 4kVA, and it is lim-
ited by the kVA rating of the frame. See table 7-2. After this

1. Use the sequence in figure 7-2 to enter the Turn Load
On command.

2. The Power Array has now been instructed to power up the
load equipment. It conducts a self diagnosis and determines
if the conditions are safe to deliver power to the load equip-
ment. Depending on the diagnostics, the Power Array will
either power the load or one of several startup over-ride mes-
sages will appear. A startup over-ride message indicates an
exceptional condition exists and gives the option to proceed
or abort. An example of a startup over-ride message is dis-
played below:
Fig 7-3 Sample Startup Over-Ride Message
For this procedure, select start now for any startup over-
ride message that may appear.
Note: If an alarm sounds and a fault message appears see
Chapter 9 for the cause, and the corrective action.
3. When the load has been successfully powered, the green
LOAD ON LED will glow, and the message UPS LOAD IS
ON will appear on the screen.
Note: The yellow ON BATT LED will glow momentarily,
while the system is conducting the self test.
4. Press the Escape key and return to the startup screen.
Note: The output voltage now registers on the display, and the
load percentage and run time are now based on the actual load.
