206 Alarms
The
UNITY
/I is designed to alert you to certain UPS conditions. If the unit detects an alarm
condition, it:
• lights the red alarm light in the upper left corner of the display unit, and
• sounds a 30-second audible alarm.
To silence the audible alarm, press this key:
If you do not silence the alarm, it will silence itself after 30 seconds. Silencing the audible alarm
does not correct the condition that caused the alarm.
To find out why the UPS sounds an alarm, display the alarm log by following steps 1-4 below.
This log shows all alarms that are active now. Note each alarm!
1. Press
to access the alarm log.
2. Press
or
to move through the alarm log.
3. If you press
after displaying the last active alarm, the display shows this:
“No further alarm.”
4. To exit the alarm log press
.
Once you have identified the active alarms, find each alarm message in Table 4 on the next few
pages. The table will tell you what each alarm message means and what you should do in response
to the alarm. In some cases, the table will tell you to phone BEST’s Worldwide Service or the nearest
BEST office. Before you call BEST, make sure you do the following:
• Have the unit’s model and serial number ready.
• Display the alarm log as described above; note all alarms.
• Display the events log (see Section 208) and note the ten most recent events.
Because the UPS can operate in many modes, Table 4 may not describe your unit’s exact
circumstances. If you have any questions or if you need more information, call BEST’s Worldwide
Service or the nearest BEST office.
