TROUBLESHOOTING

Table 23 contains descriptions of non-critical alarm messages. Non-critical alarms are not as urgent as critical alarms, but should be attended to as soon as convenient to avoid the problem becoming critical.

U Low Redundancy

Insufficient

Batteries

The UPS load exceeds 2800 watts per battery string. The system will protect the load during short power outages, but battery degradation or damage may result.

Reduce the load or install additional battery modules (two modules per string).

U Low Redundancy

Insufficient

Modules

The number of active power modules is too few to provide the programmed redundancy level while protecting the load. The UPS will protect the load, but will not be fault tolerant.

Reduce the load or install additional power modules.
