Issue:
Demonstration of the adjustment for the internal input AC Sensitivity and Transfer Voltages of the Back-UPS XS/RS 'G' & 'M' families.
Symptom may be seen as frequent transfers to battery power or constant "clicking" being heard from the unit.
Product Line:
Back-UPS Pro XS/RS/NS
Environment:
BR700G/BR1000G/BR1500G
BX850M/BX1000G/BX1300G/BX1350M/BX1500M/BN1080G/BN1350G
Cause:
The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery backup power to protect connected equipment. In situations where either the Back-UPS or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage level it is necessary to adjust the transfer voltage.
Resolution:
Process is to adjust for frequent line issues such as Line Noise (Total Harmonic Distortion), Brownout or Over Voltage conditions using the method below.

- Connect the Back-UPS to an AC power source. Be sure the Back-UPS is turned off.
- Press and hold the POWER button for six seconds. The load capacity bar will flash on and off, to indicate the Back-UPS is in Program mode.
- Press the POWER button again to scroll through the menu options. The Back-UPS will beep to confirm the selection. Refer to the table for an explanation of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.
