FAULT LED ILLUMINATES

 

 

Internal UPS fault.

 

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

 

 

immediately.

Allow the battery to recharge for 24 hours. Then, perform a self-test. If the

 

 

problem persists after recharging, replace the battery.

Failure of a battery self-test.

 

The UPS emits short beeps for one minute and the Replace Battery LED

 

 

illuminates. The UPS repeats the alarm every five hours. Perform the self-test

 

 

procedure after the battery has charged for 24 hours to confirm the Replace

DIAGNOSTIC UTILITY VOLTAGE

 

 

All five LEDs are illuminated

 

The line voltage is extremely high and should be checked by an electrician.

 

 

 

There is no LED illumination

 

If the UPS is plugged into a properly functioning utility power outlet, the line

 

 

voltage is extremely low.

 

 

 

ONLINE LED

 

 

There is no LED illumination

 

The UPS is running on battery, or it is not turned on.

 

 

 

The LED is blinking

 

The UPS is running an internal self-test.
