ROUBLESHOOTING

When your FERRUPS UPS detects an alarm condition, the UPS displays
the alarm with the following indications:
: the ALARM indicator on the front panel (and the control panel if you

have one) illuminates

: sounds an audible alarm
: displays an alarm message on the control panel (if you have one).

NOTE If the control panel does not display the message, press [CLEAR] until you
reach the scrolling display.

Alarms

When an alarm occurs, follow these steps:

1. Find out which alarm condition the UPS is detecting.

: If you have a control panel, you can read the alarm on the

display.

: If you do not have a control panel, listen to the alarm code;

the UPS sounds the Morse Code for the alarm letter.

2. Find the alarm in Table 14 and follow the instructions to

resolve the problem.

3. To silence the alarm:

FE/QFE 500 VA–3.1 kVA models:

Turn the Alarm Silence Switch on

the UPS rear panel to the OFF position.

FE/QFE 4.3–18 kVA models:

Press [CTRL]-[5] [ENTER] [ENTER]

on the control panel.

4. After the alarm condition is cleared, turn the alarm beep back

on (using either the switch or the control panel).

NOTE If you do not turn the alarm beep back on, the UPS is not able to sound an
alarm code the next time there is an alarm.
