Check the UPS LEDs to be sure a battery or site wiring problem has not occurred. See the UPS
documentation.
8.
If the UPS sleep mode is initiated, disable sleep mode for proper operation. The UPS sleep mode
can be turned off through the configuration mode on the front panel.
9.
Change the battery to be sure damage was not caused by excessive heat, particularly if a recent air
conditioning outage has occurred.
NOTE:
The optimal operating temperature for UPS batteries is 25°C (77°F). For
approximately every 8°C to 10°C (16°F to 18°F) average increase in ambient temperature
above the optimal temperature, battery life is reduced by 50 percent.
Low battery warning is displayed
Action:
1.
Plug the UPS into an AC grounded outlet for at least 24 hours to charge the batteries, and then test
the batteries. Replace the batteries if necessary.
2.
Be sure the alarm is set appropriately by changing the amount of time given before a low battery
warning. Refer to the UPS documentation for instructions.
