      First, ensure that the device, cable, and Internet Protocol (IP) address are correctly set up. Then, try rebooting the UIM module by removing both AC and DC power sources at the A.A.R. terminal connections, and then reconnecting either AC or DC. If you still cannot access the web server, the UIM module may need replacement.

      The UIM Status LED might be off because the UIM module is bad. Try rebooting the UIM by removing both AC and DC power sources at the A.A.R. terminal connections, and then reconnecting either AC or DC. Watch for the UIM reboot LED sequence. If the UIM Status LED is still off after the reboot and the AC Present LED is on, you may need to replace the UIM module.

    What to do if the UIM Alarm LED does not turn on with faults in my Pivot Power Supply?

      First, verify the alarm settings, ensuring that you are not using Warning priority levels, as these will not activate the Alarm LED. If the settings are correct, try rebooting the UIM module by disconnecting both AC and DC power sources at the A.A.R. terminal connections, and then reconnecting either AC or DC. If the UIM Alarm LED remains off when it should be on, the UIM module may need to be replaced.

    How to fix if all UIM LEDs are off when connected to battery voltage without AC input applied to Pivot Power Supply?

      Melanie JonesAug 12, 2025
      Check that the DC voltage at the DC A.A.R. terminals is above 6 volts, as the UIM module requires a minimum of 6 volts to power on. If the voltage is sufficient, verify that the DC fuse on the A.A.R. terminal board is not open. If the fuse is bad, replace it with the same type and rating after visually inspecting the charger unit.

    What to do if the UIM Blue AC Present LED is off on my Pivot Power Supply?

      First, check if any iPM LEDs are on. If they are, AC power is present to the charger chassis, and the AC fuses are likely good. If no iPM LEDs are on, carefully check the AC input voltage at input A.A.R. terminals behind the access panel door. If there's no AC voltage, check the AC source. If AC voltage is good at the terminals, inspect the AC input fuses behind the access panel door and replace them if they are bad, using the same type and rating after a visual inspection of the charger unit.

    What to do if the UIM Confirm Local Presence LED does not turn on when button is pressed on my Pivot Power Supply?

      Steve HaleAug 21, 2025
      Try rebooting the UIM module by removing both AC and DC power sources at the A.A.R. terminal connections, and then reconnecting either AC or DC. If the LED still does not turn on after pressing the Confirm Local Presence button again, the UIM module may need to be replaced.
