Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| UPS does not turn on. | Not connected to AC power; battery discharged; power button not pressed correctly. | Ensure the power cable is securely connected to a live wall outlet. Allow 8 hours for initial charge. Press and hold the power button for 2 seconds until the white light illuminates. |
| UPS beeps continuously or frequently. | Power outage (on battery mode); battery low; overload. | During a power outage, the beeping indicates the UPS is on battery power. Save work and shut down devices. If not a power outage, check for overload or contact support. |
| Audible alarm (beep) is too loud or unwanted. | Alarm is enabled. | To DISABLE the audible alarm: Press the power button twice quickly (or use the monitoring software). The UPS will emit 2 quick beeps to confirm. In this mode, only the LED will flash every 30 seconds when on battery. To RE-ENABLE the audible alarm: Follow the same procedure. |
| Connected devices are not receiving power from UPS. | UPS is off; outlets are not battery-backed; overload. | Ensure the UPS is turned on. Verify devices are connected to the battery-backed outlets. Check total power consumption does not exceed 480W. |
