7.1.2 Audible Alarm
An audible alarm will sound in conjunction with the visual indicators to indicate a change in UPS 
operating status. The audible alarm will sound as described in Table 12.
7.2 Troubleshooting
In the event of an issue with the UPS, refer to Table 13 to determine the cause and solution. If the 
fault persists, contact Emerson
®
 Channel Support.
When reporting a UPS issue to Emerson, include the UPS model and serial number. These are 
located in several places for your ease of location: on the top panel (rack mount orientation); the left 
side (tower orientation); the rear panel; on the front of the unit behind the front plastic bezel; and on 
the LCD select Main Menu > About.

Problem Cause Solution
UPS fails to start
UPS is short-circuited or 
overloaded
Ensure UPS is Off. Disconnect all loads and ensure 
nothing is lodged in output receptacles. Ensure loads are 
not defective or shorted internally.
Batteries are not charged 
enough or not connected
Check to ensure the internal battery is connected. If it is 
not, make the connection and try to start the unit. If the 
battery is connected, leave the UPS connected to input 
power for 24 hours to recharge batteries, then try to start 
the unit.
Battery indicator is illuminated
UPS is not plugged in
UPS is operating from battery mode. Ensure UPS is 
securely plugged into the wall receptacle.
UPS input protection fuse has 
blown/opened
UPS is operating from battery mode. Save data and close 
applications. Replace UPS input fuse, then restart UPS.
Mains power is out of tolerance
UPS is operating from battery mode. Save data and close 
applications. Ensure mains supply voltage is within 
acceptable limits for UPS.
UPS has reduced battery 
backup time
Batteries are not fully charged
Keep UPS plugged in continuously at least 24 hours to 
recharge batteries.
UPS is overloaded
Check load level indicator and reduce the load on the 
UPS.
Batteries may not be able to 
hold a full charge due to age
Replace batteries. Contact your local dealer, Emerson 
representative or Emerson Channel Support for 
replacement battery kit.
Battery indicator is flashing.
Battery source is not available; 
continuous horn.
Check battery connections, completely power down and 
restart UPS.
NOTE: If the battery circuit opens while the UPS is 
running, it will be detected when the next battery test is 
performed.
Bypass indicator is flashing.
Because the voltage or 
frequency is outside acceptable 
limits, the bypass is disabled.
The AC input powers the PFC input and serves as the 
bypass source. If the AC is present but the voltage or 
frequency exceeds the acceptable range for safe 
operation with a load, the bypass will be disabled and this 
indicator will flash, indicating that the bypass is 
unavailable.
