Alarm
What the Alarm Means
Number
1
Your equipment needs a larger UPS
because it is using more than 100% of
the UPS' power. The display shows the
alarm number and then what percent
of the UPS' power you are using.
2
The UPS has shut down or will soon
shut down because your equipment
needs much more than 100% of the
UPS' power. (This means your
equipment needs a larger UPS.)
3
The UPS temperature is too high. The
display shows the alarm number and
then the temperature.
4
The UPS battery needs to be replaced.
5
There is a problem inside the UPS.
6
7
8
The UPS has run on battery power for
a while and the batteries are low. The
UPS' battery time will be low until the
Fortress recharges the batteries.
9
There is a problem inside the UPS.
10
The UPS temperature is too high when
it runs on battery power. The display
shows the alarm number and then the
temperature.
11
The battery drawer may not be in your
LI 1.3K with Extended Battery Time. If
the drawer is in your UPS, it may not
be pushed in all the way.
12 and
There is a problem inside the UPS.
13
14
The unit should sound alarm 10 before
it sounds this alarm. The UPS has shut
down because the high-temperature
problem that caused alarm 10 has not
been solved. (Alarm 10 means the
UPS temperature is too high when the
UPS runs on battery power.)

What to Do
Decide which equipment is least important, and shut off one piece of equipment
plugged into the UPS. If the alarm does not stop, shut off more equipment until the
constant beep stops and the red light goes off. Then, unplug the equipment that you
have shut off; for now, you can plug it into the nearest wall outlet.
Shut the UPS and the equipment plugged into it off. Next, unplug the least important
equipment. Switch the UPS back on; then, switch on the equipment that is still
plugged into the UPS. If the UPS does not beep and the display does not show
alarm 2, the problem has been solved; for now, plug the equipment that you
unplugged into your wall outlet. If the UPS still shows alarm 2, shut the UPS and
your equipment off again and try unplugging more equipment.
Shut off the equipment plugged into the UPS. Make sure that 1) the vent holes in
the UPS cover are not blocked, and 2) the UPS is not next to a source of heat; if
you do not have either problem, call your local Best Power office. If you do have one
of these problems, correct the problem; call your local Best Power office if the alarm
does not stop after 5 minutes. When the alarm stops, switch your equipment on.
Call your local Best Power office immediately to order a new battery.
