Practical help
Common problems
UPS not starting or no power to outlets
Check input power connection, verify the input circuit breaker is not tripped, and ensure the UPS is turned on.
Audible alarm sounding
The alarm indicates a specific condition (power failure, low battery, overload, or fault). Check the LCD display for the specific error message.
Overload condition
Reduce the number of connected devices to ensure the total load does not exceed 1920W.
Before use
- Verify the input voltage is 120V AC.
- Ensure the rack or tower location has sufficient space (2U height).
- Confirm all required mounting hardware is present (4-post kit included).
- Download the PowerAlert software for advanced monitoring.
- Check that the battery is connected (if applicable).
