  If the utility indicating light is shining on your Powercom UPS, it could be due to these reasons: 1. There may be an open circuit on the UPS input protector. Move the Input Non-fuse switch back to its normal position and re-engage the UPS. 2. The voltage from the utility might be exceeding the UPS input range. Save your digital data and shut down the application program to ensure the utility voltage is within the UPS range.
