The Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR) in UPS systems adjusts the incoming AC voltage to stabilize the output power to connected equipment.

What does the Wiring-Fault Indicator light mean? | UPS
What is the Wiring-Fault Indicator Light?
The LED indicator will illuminate red to warn the user that a wiring problem exists, such as bad ground, missing ground or reversed wiring.
Does AVR work on all outlets (Battery/Surge and Surge only)? | UPS
The AVR functionality is only for the Battery/Surge outlets. It will not correct the voltage on the Surge only outlets.
Can I add additional batteries to this Medical UPS to increase the runtime? | UPS
The M1100XL can have up to two (2) additional battery packs (model BP36V60ART2U) added to it via the connection on the back panel. The M550L and M750L are not equipped for additional batteries.
Can the Medical UPS be laid on its side? | UPS
Yes, however, the LCD panel will be easier to use when the UPS is in its standard orientation. If you choose to position the UPS unit in a non-standard position, make sure the fan on the back and at least one of the side vents are left unobstructed so the UPS has plenty of airflow.
Can the Medical UPS be managed remotely? | UPS
No. A direct USB or serial connection is required to manage this UPS unit with PowerPanel Business software.
Can this Medical UPS be used with non-medical equipment? | UPS
Yes. Desktops, laptops, USB hubs/chargers, phones and other equipment can be connected to this UPS as well. It will provide electricity to them during a power outage just as it would with connected medical equipment.
Can this Medical UPS be used with life-support equipment? | UPS
No. Our medical-grade UPS units are designed and certified to meet UL 60601-1 requirements for use within patient care vicinities for non-critical care equipment. They have not been designed or certified for use with life support or other critical care equipment and should not be used for that purpose.
What are the red reset buttons on the back of my UPS for? | UPS
Those are circuit breakers. If one of the circuits were to be tripped, that button would be sticking out significantly farther than normal and would need to be pushed back in to reset the circuit.
What is an isolation transformer? | UPS
An isolation transformer removes the physical path that current can flow on between two systems while still allowing them to exchange power. This enhances UPS performance and safety by suppressing electrical line noise and lowering the potential current on the UPS’s metal chassis.
What is the USB/Serial port for? | UPS
The USB/Serial ports allow you to connect your UPS system to a computer and access additional power management features using our PowerPanel Business software. Note: PowerPanel Business must be installed on the connected computer. View the Downloads tab for additional information.
What does the green dot on my outlets and plug indicate? | UPS
The green dots indicate that the UPS outlets and plug are certified as hospital-grade and may be used within patient-care vicinities.
