5.4.2 - STATUS AND ALARM MENU

The UPS alerts the user with a standard alarm screen that the operating mode has changed and/or that an alarm

situation occurs:

The actual operating mode, the possible modes are mentioned below. The lower line -if

displayed- shows that an alarm occurred. More information can be retrieved with the
'up' key. If no further information is available, the second line is blank.

ON LINE
ALARM PRESS UP

Possible operating modes:

ON LINE

The normal operating mode. For more information see section 3.2.

ON BYPASS

Overload or failure situation. For more information see section 3.4.

ON BATTERY

For a detailed description of this mode see section 3.3.

OUTPUT OFF

No power is delivered to the load. This can be the result of a command via the RS232 Port, or

because no electric energy is available (utility failure, depleted batteries).

ON MANUAL BYPASS

Service mode. For more information see section 3.5.

Depressing the 'up’ key from the standard alarm screen shows, in priority order, which alarms are active,. Scroll through the

screens with the 'up' and 'down' keys. Alarm message texts can succeed each other. The following messages are possible:

The output capacitor C2 is defective. Contact your GE Authorized Service.

LOADnotPROTECTED
CAP. C2 DEFECT

The load exceeds the rated output power of the UPS, and the output voltage can no
longer be guaranteed. This text alternates with the following screen:

UPS OVERLOADED
REDUCE LOAD

UPS OVERLOADED
LOAD 143%

showing the actual load as % of the nominal UPS rating. These messages are

displayed if the load is > 100%.
If the load exceeds 150% the UPS will immediately switch to bypass, assuming that

the conditions for a transfer to bypass are fulfilled. If an overload condition between
100-150% persists, the UPS can eventually also switch to bypass operation due to

temperature protection. If a transfer to bypass is inhibited (due to voltage or frequency
errors of the utility supply) the UPS may automatically switch off within a few seconds

(load dependent). Output power is lost at that moment. To avoid these problems, be

absolutely certain that the power demands of the protected equipment are within the
limits of the UPS.

LOADnotPROTECTED
TEMP TOO HIGH

The temperature of the heatsinks or output transformer is too high. As a result the
output voltage may be transferred to bypass.


The operating temperature can rise to intolerable levels as a result of:

extreme environmental temperature

lack of proper ventilation

an overload situation

fan failure

If the UPS operates in 'on line' mode, it will switch to bypass until the temperature is
normal again. If however the UPS operates 'on battery', a shutdown will occur and

output power is lost.

The internal DC voltage is too high, internal failure.

LOADnotPROTECTED
VOLTAGE TOO HIGH

The output voltage of the battery charger is too high, internal failure.

BATTERY CHARGER
VOLTAGE TOO HIGH

The battery temperature is too high due to a battery failure or a too high ambient

temperature.

BATTERY CHARGER
TEMP TOO HIGH
