• Press ENTER to select the alarm and display diagnostic information. Press

A Help sub-menu provides possible remedies relating to the active alarm. To access
the Active Alarm Help sub-menu, scroll to the alarm of interest and press ENTER.

Alarms are classified in two categories:

MAJOR Alarms are indications of a serious failure within the CableUPS, such as
a loss of output voltage or a failed battery charger. Any situation that causes output
failure is considered a Major Alarm. Major alarms require immediate action to correct
the failure. To correct major alarms, follow the Smart Display on-screen instructions.

MINOR Alarms indicate a less serious failure, such as defective RTS or loss of utility
power. Corrective action can be delayed for a short time. To correct, follow the Smart
Display on-screen instructions.

The alarm matrices on the following pages indicate the MAJOR/MINOR active
alarms, the probable cause and troubleshooting items to check to correct the alarm
condition.

If only one alarm is active, the alarm list is bypassed and diagnostic information for the single
active alarm displays.
