UPS will not turn on.

UPS operates on-battery even though normal line voltage is thought to exist.

UPS "beeps" occasionally.

UPS beeps more than once or twice an hour.

UPS does not provide expected back up time.

Indicators on front panel flash in a "marquee" fashion.

All indicators are illuminated and UPS emits constant tone.

Site wiring fault light is illuminated - UPS operates normally.

Low battery light is illuminated and on-line light is extinguished.

Replace battery light is illuminated.

1.UPS Enable switch is in the off position or front panel switch not pressed.

2.UPS’s input circuit breaker is tripped (button is extended).

3.Very low utility voltage or dead outlet.

1.UPS’s input circuit breaker is tripped (button is extended).

2.Very high, low or badly distorted line voltage.

This is normal.

Chronically high or distorted line voltage.

1.UPS’s battery is weak due to recent utility outage or wear.

2.UPS is overloaded.

UPS has been shut down by computer software.

Internal UPS fault.

Building wiring error such as missing ground or hot-neutral reversal.

UPS is shut down and battery is discharged due to extended power failure.

Weak battery.

1.Turn on the rear panel UPS Enable switch. Press front panel switch to power UPS and loads.

2.Reduce the UPS’s load by unplugging equipment and reset the circuit breaker (press button on rear panel).

3.Check outlet with a table lamp. If very dim, have utility voltage checked by an electrician.

1.Reduce the UPS’s load by unplugging equipment and reset the circuit breaker (press button on rear panel).

2.Test the input voltage with UPS’s Line voltage bar graph - see section 5.0. Inexpensive fuel powered generators can cause distorted line voltages - set Option switch 1 to the on ( I ) position.

The UPS is protecting your computer equipment from momentary sags or swells.

Set Option switches 1 and 2 to match input voltage range. Alternatively, set Option switch 3 to the on ( I ) position - see section 5.0.

1.The UPS’s batteries require recharging following an extended outage. The batteries will wear faster when put into service often and when operating at elevated temperatures.

2.Check load using UPS’s Output power bar graph - see section 5.0. Unplug non-critical equipment such as printers.

UPS will restart when AC power returns.

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

A qualified electrician should be summoned to correct the building wiring.

UPS will return to normal operation when power is restored and battery has charged sufficiently.

Allow the batteries to recharge for at least 8 hours. If the problem persists after recharging, the batteries should be replaced.
