If your Falcon UPS will not turn on, make sure the input switch on the front panel is turned on. Also, verify that the input cable and battery are properly connected to the UPS and battery bank, and that the battery disconnects are in place and turned on.
Why does my Falcon UPS operate from battery when utility power is on?
If your Falcon UPS operates from the battery even when utility power is present, check the utility power protection devices for an open fuse or circuit breaker.
What does it mean when my Falcon UPS beeps 3 times?
If your Falcon UPS is beeping three times continuously, it indicates that the utility voltage is out of range. The UPS is operating in battery mode, so you should check the utility power supply.
What does 4 beeps mean on a Falcon UPS?
If your Falcon UPS is beeping four times continuously, it means that the utility frequency is out of range. As a result, the UPS is in battery mode. Check the utility power frequency.
Why is my Falcon UPS beeping 5 times?
If the Falcon UPS is beeping five times continuously, it indicates an internal over-temperature issue or a cooling fan failure. Check the air vents for any blockages, verify the fan's operation, and check the ambient room temperature.
What to do if Falcon UPS will not provide power to the load?
If your Falcon UPS will not provide power to the load, check the output fuses and the connected cable. Ensure the load does not exceed the maximum rating of the UPS.
Why is my Falcon UPS beeping once every few seconds?
If your Falcon UPS is beeping once every few seconds, this could be due to an output overload, charger failure, or a general UPS alarm. Check the LCD display and remove some of the load connected to the UPS.
What does it mean when my Falcon UPS beeps 6 times?
If your Falcon UPS is beeping six times continuously, it indicates that the PFC over current protection has been activated. Verify that the input AC voltage is not too low and remove some of the load from the UPS output.
Why is the battery backup time so short on my Falcon UPS?
If your Falcon UPS exhibits short battery backup time, it could be due to a weak battery. Perform a battery self-test. If the self-test fails, replace the battery pack.
What does 7 short beeps and 3 long beeps mean on a Falcon UPS?
If your Falcon UPS beeps seven times followed by three long beeps every five seconds, it indicates that the battery is low after a utility loss. Save your data, turn off the equipment, and wait for utility power to return.
