Operation

Normal Operation:

During normal operation, the UPS provides power to connected devices from the utility power while simultaneously charging its internal battery. The LCD display will show input/output voltage, battery charge level, and load percentage.

Battery Backup Mode:

In the event of a power outage or significant voltage fluctuation, the UPS will automatically switch to battery backup mode. This transition occurs within 2-6 milliseconds, ensuring uninterrupted power to your devices. The UPS will emit an audible alarm, and the LCD display will indicate battery operation. The backup time can be up to 25 minutes, depending on the connected load.

Software Management:

The Green Cell UPS comes with user-friendly software that allows for advanced monitoring and management from your computer. Connect the UPS to your computer via the USB port to utilize these features.

• Real-time Monitoring: View input/output voltage, frequency, battery status, and load percentage.
• Notifications: Receive alerts for power events, low battery, or other critical conditions.
• Scheduled Shutdowns: Program the UPS to automatically shut down connected devices or itself under specific conditions (e.g., prolonged power outage, low battery).
• Remote Management: Configure remote access and email notifications for monitoring the UPS status from anywhere.
