TROUBLESHOOTING
Irregular UPS operation is most likely not an indication of a fault but due to simple problems or distraction.
It is therefore advisable to consult the table below carefully as it summarises information which is useful for solving the most
common problems.
ATTENTION:
the table below often cites use of MANUAL BYPASS. Please remember that, before resetting proper
UPS operation, it is necessary to verify that the UPS is
not in STAND-BY
.
If it is, switch on the UPS by accessing the "SYSTEM ON" menu and wait for the start-up sequence to be completed
before removing manual bypass.
For further information,
carefully read the sequence described in paragraph
“Manual bypass (SWMB
)”.
NOTE: For the exact meaning of the codes mentioned in the table, refer to paragraph "ALARM CODES"
