Troubleshooting

UPS not turning on.

Check the power connection to the UPS and ensure the wall outlet is working. Verify the power button is pressed firmly and held for a few seconds. If the issue persists, contact APC support.

UPS beeping continuously.

The UPS is likely experiencing a fault or overload. Check the load on the UPS to ensure it does not exceed the 400W capacity. Check for any errors on the front panel display or in the SmartConnect portal. If the problem persists, consult the user manual.

Devices are not receiving power during an outage.

Ensure the UPS is powered on and the input power is connected. Check the battery status in the SmartConnect portal to ensure the battery is charged. Verify the connections to the devices. If the problem persists, the battery may need to be replaced.

SmartConnect is not working.

Ensure the UPS is connected to the network via Ethernet. Verify your internet connection. Check your SmartConnect subscription status. If issues remain, consult the SmartConnect troubleshooting guide.
