TROUBLESHOOTING 

An irregular operation of the UPS is frequently not due to malfunctions, but to simple problems, inconveniences or distractions.  
Therefore, the user is advised to consult the table below providing useful information on how to solve the most common 
problems.  
 

 

WARNING:

 the table below often refers to the use of the maintenance BYPASS (SWMB). If the device is installed, 

before restoring the correct operation of the UPS, make sure that it is switched on and 

not in STAND-BY

.

 

 
NOTE: For the exact meaning of the codes mentioned in the table, please read the “ALARM CODES” section. 
 

PROBLEM 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

SOLUTION 

THE UPS CONNECTED 

TO THE MAINS, DOES 

NOT SWITCH TO STAND 

BY MODE 

(THE DISPLAY DOES 

NOT LIGHT UP)

 

CONNECTION TO THE INPUT 

TERMINAL MISSING 

Connect the mains to the terminals following 
the 

indications in the paragraph on Installation

 

NEUTRAL CONNECTION 

MISSING 

The UPS cannot function without the neutral connection. 
WARNING: the absence of this connection can damage 
the UPS and/or the load. Connect the mains to the 
terminals as explained in the paragraph on installation. 

1/0 SWITCH IS SET TO 0 

Set the switch to 1 

THE ISOLATOR (SWIN) IS 

OPEN 

Close the isolator 

MAINS POWER MISSING 

(BLACKOUT) 

Make sure the mains power is present. If necessary, 
perform battery start-up to power the load.  

INTERVENTION OF THE 

UPSTREAM PROTECTION 

DEVICE  

Restore the protection. Warning: make sure there is no 
overload or short circuit on the UPS output.  

NO POWER REACHES 

THE LOAD

 

CONNECTION TO THE 

OUTPUT TERMINAL MISSING 

Connect the load to the terminals 

THE UPS IS IN STAND-BY 

MODE 

Run the start-up sequence 

THE STAND-BY OFF MODE 

HAS BEEN SELECTED 

The operating mode must be changed. In fact the 
STAND-BY OFF (emergency) mode only powers the 
loads when a black out occurs. 

MALFUNCTION OF THE UPS 

AND AUTOMATIC BYPASS 

OUT OF USE 

Insert the maintenance bypass (SWMB) and contact 
the nearest service centre 

THE UPS OPERATES 

OFF THE BATTERIES 

EVEN THOUGH MAINS 

POWER IS PRESENT

 

INTERVENTION OF THE 

UPSTREAM PROTECTION 

DEVICE 

Restore the protection. 
WARNING: make sure there is no overload or short 
circuit on the UPS output. 

THE INPUT VOLTAGE IS OUT 

OF THE ALLOWED 

OPERATING VALUES FOR 

MAINS POWER 

Problem caused by the mains power. Wait for the input 
mains voltage to return within the tolerance limits. The 
UPS will return automatically to mains operation.
