Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
The Eaton 9130 is designed for durable, automatic operation and also alerts you whenever potential operating
problems may occur. Usually the alarms shown by the control panel do not mean that the output power is
affected. Instead, they are preventive alarms intended to alert the user.
In general:
l
Events are silent conditions that are recorded in the Event Log as status information, such as “Clock Set
Done.”
l
Notices are announced by a beep every five seconds, recorded in the Event Log, and displayed on the LCD.
Examples are “UPS on Battery” and “UPS on Bypass.”
l
Alarms are announced by a beep every second, recorded in the Event Log, displayed on the LCD, and the
Alarm indicator illuminates. Examples are “Output Overload” and “Heatsink Overtemperature.”
