Functions

Meaning and Corrective Action

AC INPUT

 

 

 

 

 

 

The rectifier input line voltage is outside of specified limits or the input circuit breaker is

Input fail

 

 

opened while the battery circuit breaker remains closed. The battery supplies power to the

 

 

critical load through the UPS inverter. Provide an alternate source of AC power or prepare to

 

 

 

 

 

 

initiate critical load procedures when battery reserve time is low.

 

 

 

 

DC BUS

 

 

 

DC Ground

 

D, L, S

Either the positive (+) or negative (-) DC bus is grounded. No transfer or shutdown occurs.

 

Contact Liebert Global Services (1-800-LIEBERT) at once. Do not attempt to locate or repair

the fault.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DC Capacitor

 

D, F, S

At least one DC capacitor fuse has opened. The UPS module is shut down and isolated.

Fuse Blown

 

Contact Liebert Global Services at once. Do not attempt to reset the circuit breakers.

 

 

 

 

 

The module battery circuit breaker (MBD) is open. This circuit breaker can be opened either

Battery CB

 

 

manually or automatically in a UPS shutdown procedure. If the UPS is operating with this

 

D, S

breaker open, the critical load is not protected from loss of the utility source power.

Open

 

 

 

After AC power is restored and the DC bus is at 100% operating voltage, manually close the

 

 

 

 

 

 

battery circuit breaker so the rectifier can charge the battery.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The battery is discharging. This occurs whenever the battery supplies power to the load for

 

 

 

more than 5 seconds because of input power failure, a rectifier problem or an overload

Battery

 

D, R, S

condition. If the input power or a source of auxiliary power is restored to the UPS module,

Discharging

 

the UPS automatically returns to normal operation. Watch the battery voltage carefully.

 

 

 

 

 

Reduce the load (begin controlled shutdown) to extend the battery back-up time. Reset the

 

 

 

UPS alarms after the input power is restored. The message clears after 30 seconds.

Low Battery

 

 

The battery voltage is approaching the minimum discharge voltage (approximately

 

D, R, S

5 minutes remaining). Complete the controlled shutdown of the critical load. Reset the

Warning

 

 

 

alarms if the input power is restored before shutdown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Low Battery

 

D, F,

The battery voltage has decreased to the minimum discharge value. The UPS module shuts

 

down (no power to the critical load) and the battery and input circuit breakers trip open.

Shutdown

 

L, S

 

Perform a UPS system start-up procedure when AC power becomes available.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Battery Over

 

 

The measured battery temperature exceeds the customer-defined limit for more than

Temperature

 

D, S

1 minute. Alarm automatically clears when temperature falls below the limit for more than

(Optional)

 

 

1 minute. Determine the overtemperature cause.

Battery

 

 

The UPS rectifier/charger is reducing the battery float voltage setpoint to compensate for

Charge

 

S

elevated battery temperature. The UPS automatically reverts to normal operation when

Compensation

temperature returns below the limit.

 

(Optional)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DC

 

 

The maximum preset value of the DC Bus voltage has been exceeded. The UPS transfers

 

D, F,

to bypass and the input and battery circuit breakers trip open. Contact Liebert Global

Overvoltage

 

 

L, S

Services at once. A fault may have occurred within the UPS. Do not attempt to reset the

Shutdown

 

 

 

circuit breaker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BYPASS

 

 

 

Load On

 

 

The critical load is being supplied power from the bypass line and is therefore exposed to

 

D, R

utility power disturbances. Clear all of the alarms before attempting to retransfer the load

Bypass

 

 

 

from the bypass line to the UPS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Auto Transfer

D, E, F

The critical load has been automatically transferred to the bypass line. Use the History

Status screen to determine the cause for the transfer. Clear all of the alarms before

to Bypass

 

 

 

attempting to retransfer the load from bypass to UPS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Auto

 

 

An automatic retransfer will be initiated when the OK to Transfer condition has been present

Retransfer

 

 

for 10 seconds, if the overload has dropped below 100% of the rated load

Primed

 

 

 

 

 

 

A manual retransfer is required. Either an overload condition has lasted more than

Manual Reset/

 

5 minutes or no more auto-retransfer attempts are available. Note that this alarm is only

Retransfer

 

 

used if auto-retransfer attempts are enabled. Perform a manual retransfer if all necessary

 

 

 

conditions are present.

D = auto-dial

 

L = latches

 

E = logs only

 

R = remote

 

F = freezes

 

S = summary

 

D* = auto-dial initiated by Auto Transfer to Bypass if load is on UPS when alarm occurs
