TROUBLESHOOTING 

Whenever  a  malfunction  occurs,  first  check  external  factors  (e.g.  connections,  temperature,  humidity  or  load)  to 
determine whether the problem is caused by the unit itself or by its environment. Subsequently check the thermal circuit 
breaker: it may be tripped. If so: reset it (see fig. 3.3) and be sure that the UPS is not overloaded. 
The  following  chart  is  a  simple  troubleshooting  checklist  only.  If  the  suggested  solution  does  not  succeed,  or  if  the 
information is insufficient to solve the problem, please contact your dealer or consult www.gecriticalpower.com. 
 

PROBLEM 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

SOLUTION 

 

 

 

Thermal Circuit Breaker (TCB) 
tripped 

UPS overload 

Reduce load, reset TCB 
(2, fig. 3.3) 

System failure 

Contact your dealer or consult 
www.gecriticalpower.com 

UPS will not switch on (without 
using 'battery start') and the output 
has been off for a few secs. (see 
also 4.3.4) 

Line cord not connected 

Read 3.4.3 Connect line cord 

Dead wall socket outlet, or mains 
voltage out of limits 

Contact qualified electrician 

Tripped Thermal Circuit Breaker 

See above 

LEDs ‘operation’ and ‘alarm’ blink, 
buzzer sounds 1/2 secs. UPS does 
not start. 

P (phase) and N (neutral) are 
reversed at the UPS input in a 
system with grounded Neutral. 

In a system with grounded Neutral: 
reverse the mains plug. 
In other systems: disable the 
indication. See 4.4.13 and 4.5. 

In case of doubt contact a qualified 
electrician.

 

UPS switched off automatically 

UPS over temperature 

Allow UPS to cool down 

Mains failure, battery discharged 

Wait until mains returns 

Programmed shutdown in progress 

See 4.4.11 

The load is < 5% of the max. load 
and no mains power is present. 
(No-load shutdown function is 
active, see 4.3.2) 

Wait until mains returns 

LEDs ‘alarm’ and ‘on battery’ blink, 
buzzer sounds 1/5 secs 

Battery test just after installation or 
mains failure 

Allow the UPS to recharge the 
batteries 

Battery test shows weak battery 

Have the batteries replaced
