Problem and Possible Cause

 

Solution

 

 

 

UPS will not turn on.

 

 

∙ ON button not pushed.

 

Press the ON button once to power the UPS and the load.

 

∙ UPS not connected to AC power supply.

 

Check that the power cable from the UPS to the power supply is

 

 

securely connected at both ends.

∙ UPS input circuit breaker tripped.

 

Reduce the load on the UPS by unplugging equipment and reset

 

 

the circuit breaker (on back of UPS) by pressing the plunger back

 

 

in.

∙ Very low or no utility voltage.

 

Check the AC power supply to the UPS with a table lamp. If very

 

 

dim, have the utility voltage checked.

∙ Battery not connected properly.

 

Confirm the battery connections.

 

 

 

UPS will not turn off.

 

 

∙ Internal UPS fault.

 

Do not attempt to use the UPS. Unplug the UPS and have it

 

 

 

serviced immediately.

 

 

 

UPS operates on-battery although normal line voltage exists.

∙ UPS’s input circuit breaker tripped.

 

Reduce the load on the UPS by unplugging equipment and reset

 

 

 

the circuit breaker (on back of UPS) by pressing the plunger back

 

 

in.

∙ Very high, low, or distorted line voltage.

 

Move the UPS to a different outlet on a different circuit.

Inexpensive fuel powered generators can distort

 

Test the input voltage with the utility voltage display. If acceptable

to the load, reduce the UPS’s sensitivity. Refer to Voltage

 

 

 

 

Sensitivity, page 8, for instructions.

 

 

 

UPS beeps occasionally.

 

 

∙ Normal UPS operation.

 

None. The UPS is protecting the load.

 

 

 

 

UPS does not provide expected backup time.

 

 

∙ The UPS’s battery is weak due to recent outage

outages. Also, they wear faster when put into service often or

 

 

when operated at elevated temperatures. If the battery is near the

 

 

end of its service life, consider replacing the battery even if the

 

 

replace battery indicator is not yet lit.

∙ The UPS is overloaded.

 

Check the UPS’s load display. Unplug less needed equipment, such

 

 

as printers.

 

 

 

Front panel indicators flash sequentially.

 

 

∙ The UPS has been shut down by remote control.

 

None. The UPS will restart automatically when utility power

 

 

 

returns.

 

 

 

All indicators are lit and UPS emits a constant beeping.

∙ Internal UPS fault.

 

Do not attempt to use the UPS. Turn the UPS off and have it

 

 

 

serviced immediately.

 

 

 

All indicators are off and UPS is plugged into wall outlet.

∙ The UPS is shut down and the battery is
