the UPS is in Battery mode.
The UPS is powering the equipment
with battery power. Prepare your
equipment for shutdown.
Battery low The UPS is in Battery mode and
the battery is running low.
This warning is approximate, and the
actual time to shutdown may vary
significantly.

Equipment is powered but not
protected by the UPS.
Check for one of the following alarms:
overtemperature, overload or UPS
failure.

UPS capacity (greater than
100% of nominal; see in table 6
on page 42 for specific output
overload ranges).
Remove some of the equipment from
the UPS.
The UPS continues to operate, but
may switch to Bypass mode or shut
down if the load increases.
The alarm resets when the condition
becomes inactive.
