Solution
Press the button to turn on the UPS.
ON
Ensure that the power cable is securely connected to the unit and to the utility
power supply.
Do not attempt to use the UPS. Unplug the UPS and have it serviced
immediately.
Move the UPS to a different outlet on a different circuit. Test the input voltage
with the utility voltage display. If acceptable to the connected equipment,
reduce the UPS sensitivity.
Test the utility input power to ensure the unit is receiving input power.
The UPS is protecting the connected equipment. See the display interface to
view the status of the UPS.
Charge the battery. Batteries require recharging after extended outages and
wear out faster when put into service often or when operated at elevated
temperatures. If the battery is near the end of its service life, consider
replacing the battery even if the replace battery indicator is not yet
illuminated.
Check the UPS load display. Unplug unnecessary equipment, such as printers.
Do not attempt to use the UPS. Turn the UPS off and have it serviced
immediately.
Allow the battery to recharge for at least four hours. Then, perform a self-test.
If the problem persists after recharging, replace the battery.
Ensure that the battery connector is securely connected.
If the UPS indicates a site wiring fault, have a qualified electrician inspect the
building wiring. (Applicable for Low Voltage (120 V) units only.)
