Troubleshooting

The BladeUPS is designed for durable, automatic operation and also
alerts you whenever potential operating problems may occur. Usually
the alarms shown by the control panel do not mean that the output
power is affected. Instead, they are preventive alarms intended to alert
the user. Use the following troubleshooting chart to determine the UPS
alarm condition.
The following table describes typical alarms and conditions. If an alarm
appears with a service code, contact the Help Desk (see page 123).
To check the Event Log for a list of active alarms:
1. Press any button on the front panel display to activate the menu
options.
2. Press the button until EVENT LOG displays.
3. Press the button to display the list of alarms and conditions.
Possible Cause
A utility failure has occurred and
the UPS is in Battery mode.
The UPS is in Battery mode and
the battery is running low.

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 25% capacity. See Table 16 on
page 118 for estimated runtimes and Setting the
Battery Low Alarm Level" on page 88 for
configuration information.
When utility power is restored, the UPS restarts
automatically, provides power to the load, and
charges the battery.
