4 - 10 Section 4-2 - General Procedures
4-2-3-1 Standby Mode
NOTE: The Standby mode is supported by units with software version v2.x and v3.x ONLY.
Select Standby Mode
This procedure describes the needed steps to power down the unit to Standby mode:
NOTE: Don’t press the 
ON/STANDBY button too long. If you press the button too long (more than 3-4 
seconds), a full shutdown is started.
1.) Press the 
ON/STANDBY key on the Operator Panel once to display the System - Exit menu on the 
screen.
2.) Select Standby to activate Standby mode. Leave the mains power cable connected and the MAINS 
CIRCUIT BREAKER ON to keep the Un-interrupted Power Supply (UPS) battery fully charged.
Disconnect Power Cable When Unit is in Standby Mode
1.) Switch off the Mains Circuit Breaker.
2.) Disconnect the power cable.
The system will remain in Standby mode for approximately 15 minutes if the standby battery is fully 
charged. If the system is unplugged for a longer period of time, a full shutdown is automatically 
performed.
As described above, the battery is automatically charged when the system is plugged into the wall 
outlet and the circuit breaker is switched on. It takes about 10 hours uninterrupted, to charge a flat 
battery. 
If the system is left in the OFF condition (Circuit breaker in the OFF position and system unplugged 
from the wall out let) for an extended period of time (3 to 5 days or more), the system may not 
bootup or may beep when turned ON. Should this occur, the system needs to recharge the UPS 
batteries. This could take 15 minutes to as long as 10 hours uninterrupted, depending on the battery 
age, system input voltage and system temperature. To eliminate draining the UPS batteries, the 
system should remain plugged into the wall outlet with the circuit breaker in the ON position.
