Alarm Name

Alarm

Severity

Possible Cause

Solution

not properly
connected to a
connector.

connected to connectors.

Check whether the temperature sensor fails
to monitor the battery temperature. If yes,
prepare the UPS backup power supply and
replace the cables connected to the iBAT.

Check that the battery discharge current
meets the battery specifications.

BCB not
connected

Critical



The battery discharges
to the
end-of-discharge
(EOD) threshold.



The BCB is manually
disconnected.



The battery loop has
potential security risks
and the BCB trips
automatically.

Identify the reason that the battery
discharges to the EOD threshold. Connect
the BCB after eliminating all exceptions.

Identify the reason that the BCB is
manually disconnected. Connect the BCB
after eliminating all exceptions.

Check the battery loop for potential
security risks. Connect the BCB after
eliminating all exceptions.

iBAT
communication
failure

(iBOX system)

Minor

An iBAT communication
failure has occurred.

Check the preset number of iBATs is
consistent with the actual number of
iBATs.

Check that the iBAT communication is
normal. Reconnect the cable to the panel of
the iBAT that fails in communication.

iBAT
communication
failure

(iBAT device

)

Minor

The iBAT and the iBOX
fail to communicate
properly.

Check that the iBAT Number of iBOX is
set correctly.

Check the iBAT indicator. If the indicator
is off, press the iBAT networking switch to
light it up.

Check whether the iBOX is shielded from
the iBAT.

Check the iBAT cable connections.
Reconnect the cable to the panel of the
iBAT that fails in communication.

Check the iBAT and replace the iBAT that
fails in communication.



In the scenario where the iBOX connects to the UPS, if

BCB connection

Battery

breaker

, and

Batt. abnormal BCB trip

are set to

Enable

in the UPS MDU, when a

Single Batt. terminal off

alarm is raised, the system automatically controls the BCB to

disconnect.
