Troubleshooting
Use the chart below to solve minor UPS installation and operation problems. Refer to IBM for assistance with complex UPS problems.
| Problem and/or Possible Cause | Solution |
| UPS will not turn on | |
|
UPS is not connected to the utility power supply. |
Check that the power cord from the UPS to the utility power supply is securely connected at both ends. |
| The battery is not connected properly. | Check that the battery connector is fully snapped into position. |
| Very low or no utility voltage. | Check the utility power supply to the UPS by plugging in a table lamp. If the light is very dim, have the utility voltage checked. |
| UPS will not turn off | |
| The front display is not lit, yet the outlets are powered. | Gently attempt to reposition the black switch to the left, and the module will be activated. |
| The black switch is stuck in the Off (right) position. In this position, the switch disables the operation of the power module, and power to the loads is bypassed around the power module. | |
| UPS beeps occasionally | |
| Normal operating UPS beeps when running on battery. | None. The UPS is protecting the connected equipment from occasional utility power irregularities. |
| UPS is not providing expected backup time | |
| The UPS battery is weak due to a recent outage or is near the end of the service life. | Charge the battery. Batteries require recharging after extended outages and wear faster when frequently put into service or when operated at elevated temperatures. If the battery is near the end of the service life, consider replacing the battery even if the Replace Battery LED is not yet illuminated. |
| The output voltage is not meeting expectations | |
| The output voltage “on battery” is too low or too high. | Check that the voltage selection rotary switch is set to the desired level (see Installation).Note: In order to register any modification in voltage selection, the UPS must be turned off and then on again. |
| The output voltage “online” is too high or too low. | The UPS allows a certain range of output voltage to be filtered from the input before it goes to the battery. If this range is too wide for the load equipment, the upper and lower limits can be customized (through software) to your application. |
| Not all outlets are powered | |
| One or more of the outlet groups (labeled ‘1’, ‘2’, and ‘3’) are shut off via the network interface connection. | Access the UPS control panel via the network interface connection and check the status of the outlets. If the settings are not what is expected, change them accordingly and review security settings (password, etc.). |
| 3000 VA, 120 V model only:One or more of the outlet groups are overloaded and the circuit breaker(s) tripped. | The three outlet groups are individually protected by circuit breakers, in some cases lower than the overall limit of the UPS. If any one of these has tripped, reduce the load and/or distribute appropriately among the outlet groups and reset the breaker. |
| Runtime is sufficient, but the low battery alert interval is longer than expected | |
| The UPS perceives there are fewer batteries than are connected and provides a longer alert time. | Configure the UPS via PowerChute to register the number of external battery packs connected. See “User Configurable Items” on page 9 for details. |
| The configured low battery alert interval is longer than necessary or expected. | Configure the UPS via PowerChute to provide an adequate low battery alert interval. See “User Configurable Items” on page 9 for details. |
| The LEDs in the battery bar graph are blinking together | |
| While “online” or “on battery”, the expected remaining runtime is lower than the configured low battery alert interval.Note: The number of blinking LEDs still indicates the relative state of charge of the connected batteries. | If the runtime is too short for a graceful shutdown of the connected equipment, additional battery packs must be connected.If the low battery alert interval is longer than required for a graceful shutdown, configure it appropriately via PowerChute. |
| The battery runtime meter has fallen out of calibration and needs to be re-calibrated. | Program the UPS via PowerChute to conduct a runtime calibration test. |
| All LEDs are illuminated and the UPS emits a constant beeping | |
| Internal UPS fault. | Do not attempt to use the UPS. Replace the power processing module. See “Storage and Maintenance” on page 10 for details. |
| Font panel LEDs flash sequentially | |
| Internal UPS fault. | None. The UPS will restart automatically when utility power returns. |
| All LEDs are off and the UPS is plugged into a wall outlet | |
| The UPS is shut down or the battery is discharged from an extended outage. | None. The UPS will return to normal operation when the power is restored and the battery has a sufficient charge. |
| The overload LED is illuminated and the UPS emits a sustained alarm tone | |
| The UPS is overloaded. The connected equipment is drawing more VA or more Watts than the UPS can sustain. | The connected equipment exceeds the specified “maximum load”. The alarm remains on until the overload is removed. Disconnect nonessential equipment from the UPS to eliminate the overload.The UPS continues to supply power as long as it is online and the circuit breaker does not trip; the UPS will not provide power from batteries in the event of a utility voltage interruption.If a continuous overload occurs while the UPS is on battery, the unit turns off output in order to protect the UPS from possible damage. (See Maximum Power and VA Specifications) |
| The condition persists for a few seconds,
stops, and then repeats approximately every minute. |
Equipment such as laser printers draws a great amount of power in short bursts periodically.For instance, laser printers commonly draw nearly 1000 W of power (varies among different printers) for a few seconds, the draw will then stop, only to resume seconds later.The UPS is then subjected to periodic high power draws and will be briefly overloaded. If the UPS must power a laser printer, be sure the UPS can meet the maximum draw of the laser printer. |
| The replace battery LED is illuminated | |
| Replace battery LED flashes and a short beep is emitted every two seconds to indicate the battery is disconnected. | Check that the battery connectors are fully engaged. |
| Weak battery. | Allow the battery to recharge for 24 hours. Then, perform a self-test. If the problem persists after recharging, replace the battery. |
| The battery self-test has not passed. | The UPS emits short beeps for one minute and the Replace battery LED illuminates. The UPS repeats the alarm every five hours. Perform the self-test procedure after the battery has charged for 24 hours to confirm the Replace battery condition. The alarm stops and the LED clears if the battery passes the self-test. |
| The site wiring fault LED on the rear panel is illuminated (120 V only) | |
| The UPS is plugged into an improperly wired utility power outlet. | Wiring faults detected include missing ground, hot-neutral polarity reversal, and overloaded neutral circuits. Contact a qualified electrician to correct the building wiring. |
| The circuit breaker switches off. | Reduce the load on the UPS by unplugging equipment. Reset the breaker. |
| The AVR LED is illuminated | |
| Your system is experiencing excessive periods of low or high voltage. | Have qualified service personnel check your facility for electrical problems. If the problem continues, contact the utility company for further assistance. |
| The Bypass LED is illuminated | |
| The UPS has briefly directed power around the power processing module during a startup sequence. | Nothing. This is a normal behavior of the UPS during startup. |
| The UPS has directed power around the power processing module because of an internal fault. | Replace the power processing module. See “Storage and Maintenance” on page 10 for details. |
| There is no utility power | |
| There is no utility power and the UPS is off. | Use the Cold Start feature to supply power to the connected equipment from the UPS battery.Press the POWER ON button for one second and release. The UPS will beep briefly and go quiet. Press and hold the POWER ON button again, but for about three seconds. The unit will emit a sustained beep. Release the button during this beep. This will supply immediate power to the UPS and the connected equipment. |
| UPS operates on battery although normal line voltage exists | |
| 230 V models and 1500VA, 120 V model only: UPS input circuit breaker tripped. | To reduce the load on the UPS, unplug equipment and reset the circuit breaker. |
| Very high, low, or distorted line voltage. | Move the UPS to a different outlet on a different circuit, as inexpensive fuel-powered generators may distort the voltage. Test the input voltage with the utility voltage displayed “Basic Operation” on page 8 for details. If acceptable to the connected equipment, reduce the UPS sensitivity. |
| Battery charge and battery load LEDs flash simultaneously | |
| The internal temperature of the UPS has exceeded the allowable threshold for safe operation. | Check that the room temperature is within the specified limits for operation.Check that the UPS is properly installed, allowing for adequate ventilation.Press the black switch on the front of the power processing module to the right. This will shut down the power processing module, leave the UPS on and in bypass mode while confirming whether the high temperature is still present. |
