7.0 Troubleshooting 

Procedures

Faults are those abnormal conditions that can occur and cause the unit to shutdown normal
operation.  The faults are detected by the protection circuitry (See System Protection Features
Section 5.2) in the unit.  The UPS FAULT lamp will light red whenever a fault condition has been
detected.  “Troubleshooting” involves monitoring the OUTPUT/BATTERY level meter lamps on
the front panel and then interpreting the readout by using the fault mode display charts.

7.1 

Non-Fatal Fault Mode
Non-fatal faults may or may not cause the unit to shut down; non-fatal faults normally will
cause the UPS to transfer to bypass mode. Use System Reset procedures (See Section
5.10).  Use the following chart to decode the display.
