Note: The unit will not turn on and accept incoming utility power if the power is out of range. The unit can still be
Probable Cause: | Circuit breaker has tripped. |
|
|
Solution: | Check both your home and unit circuit breakers. If |
| the circuit breaker on the rear of the APC unit has |
| "tripped", the center post will be extended out |
| about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Push it back in to reset it. If |
| it trips again, reduce the number of devices that are |
| plugged into the unit one at a time, and try again. |
|
|
Note: The unit circuit breaker is rated for 15 Amps; however, the National Electrical Code (NEC) dictates that any particular home circuit should not be loaded to more than 80% of its rating.
Connected equipment reboots or turns off during or after the unit is on battery power
Probable Cause: | Battery was disconnected after the unit was |
| installed and powered on. |
|
|
Solution: | The unit will warn you via the LCD if the battery |
| is disconnected, but this warning could go |
| unnoticed. Remove the front bezel by grasping |
| the sides of the bezel and pulling straight back. |
| Check the battery connection to ensure that it is |
| fully pushed into its battery connector socket. |
|
|
Probable Cause: | The unit is overloaded. |
|
|
Solution: | I the unit has too many devices plugged into the |
| outlets, the runtime when operating on battery |
| will become very short. If you check the display, |
| you can determine how much of the UPS load |
| capacity is used. Also, there is a red OVERLOAD |
| LED on the front panel that will light if the unit is |
| overloaded (greater than 95%), we recommend |
| that you reduce the load by unplugging one or |
| more devices. |
|
|
Probable Cause: | Battery charge was low when the unit switched to |
| battery power. |
|
|
Solution: | Allow the unit to fully recharge by leaving the |
| unit plugged in. It must charge approximately 8 |
| hours to recharge a discharged battery to 90% |
| capacity. |
