Conserve Battery Power 
The management module initiates 
system shutdowns after the specified 
delay when the UPS begins to 
operate on battery power, unless 
the UPS issues a low battery alarm 
before the shutdowns are initiated. 
If a low battery alarm occurs during 
the delay countdown, the 
management module ignores the 
On Battery settings and observes 
the Low Battery shutdown delay 
setting. 
The management module initiates 
system shutdowns after the specified

Low Battery shutdown delay setting. 
The management module does not 
initiate any type of system shutdown. 
Power is maintained until the battery 
is depleted.² 
 
¹ Selecting this option might result in an ungraceful shutdown. The amount of remaining runtime cannot be accurately 
predicted after a low battery warning is issued. 
² Running batteries to depletion can cause an ungraceful shutdown if a second power failure occurs before the 
batteries have fully charged.
