Troubleshooting

UPS not turning on.

Check the power connection to the wall outlet and the UPS. Ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position. If the unit still does not turn on, test the outlet with another device.

UPS beeping continuously.

The UPS is likely running on battery power. Check the power source. If the power source is working and the beeping continues, the battery may need to be replaced.

UPS is providing a short runtime.

The battery may need to be recharged. Allow the UPS to charge for at least 16 hours. If the problem persists, the battery may need to be replaced. Also, consider the load that you have connected to the UPS.

PowerChute software not detecting the UPS.

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected between the UPS and the computer. Restart the computer and the PowerChute software. Verify that you have the correct software version.

Overload alarm is triggered.

Reduce the load connected to the UPS by disconnecting some devices. The total power draw of all connected devices must not exceed 960W.
