When the AC light flashes red it indicates that the input voltage is not within 12% of the nominal voltage. In this condition the batteries will not charge up correctly either. The solution is simply to change the nominal input voltage (ie. the voltage the UPS is expecting to receive). In our case we had an electrician check and confirm that our supply was 240VAC but we incorrectly assumed that since the UPS was supplied by HP in the UK that it would be set for 240V as well. Wrong, out the box it is set to 200-208VAC thus it was complaining about receiving the 240VAC. Enter configuration mode on the UPS by removing the front bezel and pressing and holding the configuration button until the front panel LEDs flash in unison and the configure mode LED illuminates solid green. This can be safely done while in operation mode. The LED for the currently configured nominal input voltage will illuminate in red. Press the ON button to advance the LED to the desired nominal voltage. Now press the Standby button to select the ne nominal voltage and tthe LED will turn green. Now press the Test/Alarm Reset button to exit configuration mode. The AC/Ultility light should now be solid green and the batteries will start to charge up completely.

What can you advice me to do? i have a UPS SURTD5000XLI, indicating a red Led light, but when i remove it from the AC power source, the Red Led also remove & when i flog it again to the AC Source it...

Is red light on for overload or for battery?
If on overload, try reducing the load on the UPS. If red light on overload persists buy a new UPS (overload fault hard to repair).

Red light on battery - replace the batteries.

Red light on boost or buck, may mean that the nominal voltage of ups and the limits need to be changed/corrected.

Power light flashing green to red

Assuming the "squiggle line" is the Utility LED the unit has proper power. The light is steady green and not flashing, correct?

Have you reset the unit?

Try removing all but one attached device to verify it's not an overload condition.

A photo of the control panel would help.

Hi, i connectrd the ups to the socket but it doesn't work; no led are bright and the connected device aren't fed. thank you

Is it new? If it's not new you may have just picked up a faulty one. Do you have any way to check the batteries inside? Is there a circuit breaker on the unit that you can try to reset? Are you positive that the outlet that you are attaching to is good?
Good luck with the UPS!!

WHAT IS THE AMMOUNT OF POWER CONSUPTION FOR A UPS OF 30amphs and a model of R5500XR

That UPS is rated for 5000 VA and 4500 Watt.

It will power appliances at 100% for a bit less than 5 minutes (5 minutes correspond to 31.25 Ah, not 30), but "typical" endurance time is around 15 minutes.

Maximum power consumption is around 4600W, which is for a completely flat battery being recharged while at the same time powering 4500W (100%) of utilities.

Detailed specs here:

Getting red light and continuously beep sound to my UPS(Frontech)

hi

If it is showing the red light and continuous beep it shows that the battery is completely gone.

You can buy a battery and replace it by yourself.

Or get it to a professional to change the battery.

you need not replace the whole UPS its just a battery problem.

Thank you
