If the Building Wiring Fault indicator on the power
plug stays lit, one of the following conditions exist:
• Open or high resistance ground.
• Hot and neutral polarity reversal.
• Overloaded neutral circuit.
A lit indicator means that a possible shock
hazard exists. Improper building wiring should
be corrected by a qualified electrician.
Note: Improper building wiring will not prevent the
UPS from operating, but will limit its protection
capability. Improper building wiring could result
in equipment damage that is not covered by
APC. Please refer to APC’s Equipment
Protection Policy for details.

There are four indicator lights and a speaker grille on the
front panel to indicate UPS status.
On Line (green) - This indicator is lit whenever
conditioned utility power is powering the Battery
Backup outlets.
Single Beep - This alarm is sounded whenever
the On/Test button is pressed.
On Battery (yellow) - This indicator is lit
whenever utility power is outside safe limits and the
UPS battery is powering the Battery Backup outlets. If
the outage is extended, APC software can close
software applications, and then shut down the operating
system and the UPS.
Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds - This alarm is
sounded whenever the UPS is running On
Battery.
Continuous Beeping - This alarm is sounded
whenever a low battery condition is reached.
Battery runtime is very low. Promptly save your data,
exit all applications, and then shut down the operating
system.
Overload (red) - This indicator is lit whenever
equipment connected to Battery Backup outlets is
drawing more power than the UPS can provide. Move
one or more pieces of equipment to the Surge
Protection outlets.
Continuous Tone - This alarm is sounded
whenever the Battery Backup outlets are
overloaded.
Circuit Breaker - The circuit
breaker button will stick out if
an overload condition forces
the UPS to disconnect itself
from utility power. If the
button sticks out, disconnect
non-essential equipment and reset the circuit breaker by
pushing the button in.
Replace Battery (red) - This indicator is lit
whenever the automatic diagnostic test has determined
the battery is near the end of its useful life. The battery
should be replaced within two weeks (see Order
Replacement Battery). Failure to replace the battery
may result in insufficient runtime during a power
outage.
Chirps for 1 Minute Every 5 Hours - This
alarm is sounded whenever the battery has
failed the automatic diagnostic test.
