Symptoms, Possible Causes, and Corrective Actions to be followed for problems with
the UPS.
Notes
The following table departs slightly from a similar table given in the APC UPS User's
Manual and should be followed instead of that table.
The most common problems encountered are:
Symptom
UPS will not turn on (lamp within
power I/O switch is not
illuminated), but beeps when power
I/O switch is on.
UPS operates normally, but SITE
WIRING FAULT indicator is
illuminated
UPS occasionally emits a beep, but

Table 7-12. Troubleshooting the UPS
Possible Cause
Rear panel circuit breaker is tripped
(Circuit breaker is tripped when button is
extended.)
Line cord plug is not properly connected
No power at wall socket
Building wiring error, such as a missing
ground, hot and neutral polarity reversed,
or overloaded neutral wiring.
Ground not connected, e.g. "cheater" plug
or adapter installed on line cord plug
The UPS is briefly transferring the
equipment to its alternate power source
due to incoming power spikes or sags
Corrective Action
Unplug excessive loads and press button to
reset breaker.
Check line cord plug and engage it properly
Check power at wall socket and establish
proper power
A qualified electrician should be called to
correct the building wiring problem. The
UPS will not provide rated noise and surge
suppression with incorrect building wiring.
Plug the UPS into a proper 3 wire grounded
outlet only
This operation is normal. The UPS is
protecting connected equipment from
abnormal line voltages. If the audible alarm
becomes annoying, set option switch #1 to
its up position.
