12. Troubleshooting
The Alpha Micro 100 is designed for trouble free remote, reliable operation and to operate under wide operating
temperature conditions. When connected remotely through the Optional Ethernet communication card, the UPS can
provide enough information to troubleshoot the unit remotely.
Alternately, information can be obtained through the USB port, on unit status LEDs when troubleshooting locally at
the unit.
