Action
The UPS is powering the equipment
with battery power. Prepare your
equipment for shutdown.
This warning is approximate, and the
actual time to shutdown may vary
significantly.
Depending on the UPS load and
number of Extended Battery Modules
(EBMs), the "Battery Low" warning
may occur before the batteries reach
20% capacity.
Verify that all batteries are properly
connected.
If the condition persists, contact your
service representative.
Verify that all batteries are properly
connected. Start a new battery test:
if the condition persists, contact your
service representative.
Apply utility power for 48 hours to
charge the batteries. If the condition
persists, contact your service
representative.
Equipment is powered but not
protected by the UPS.
Check for one of the following alarms:
overtemperature, overload or UPS
failure.
Remove some of the equipment from
the UPS.
The UPS continues to operate, but
may switch to Bypass mode or shut
down if the load increases.
The alarm resets when the condition
