UPS i need to reset the ups after every power failure. Please help

Hi Ehabnwr,

The board is located on the top of the unit and can be 'reseated' in order to reset board. The UPS will need to be completely powered off while doing this to avoid possible damage to the unit and to yourself.

Replace the batteries in the UPS - that's your problem. Everything should work after that :-D

is that 165 Volts AC or DC? Try to reset the logic. Unplug the UPS from the wall and disconnect the batteries. Push the "On Button" The LED's may flash. This is resetting the logic. This migh help. This should be 120VAC in and 120VAC out. Please give me an update.

No you don't have to reconfigure the UPS after battery replacement. However you may have to reset the battery Timer. There are 4 possible ways.
1. Press and hold the fault reset button for 3-5 seconds
2. Press and hold the fault reset and security key simultaneously for 3-5 seconds
3. Press an dhold the fault and alarm silence buttons simultaneously for 3-5 seconds
4. Cycle the logic Power. This means to remove power from the main processor.
5. Call MGE. They have the software to reset the battery replacement alarm

With your UPS turned off, unplug your PC and all other devices from the unit. Then turn the UPS on. If it still beeps and shuts off your UPS internal battery may need to be replaced or you have an internal UPS failure. Look for a red "battery alarm" light on the front of your UPS.

If the UPS does not shut down with all devices disconnected from it, Power off your monitor and look on the back of the monitor for a label which will tell you the amount of power it requires (probably 100 watts or less). Plug the monitor's AC power cord into your UPS and turn on your PC and monitor. With the UPS plugged into the AC line you are not using the internal battery and the UPS should remain on and your monitor should be working. If it shuts down you have an internal problem with the UPS.

Now unplug your UPS from the AC line (simulating a power failure) Your UPS is rated at 350 watts. Accordingly it should easily support the 100 watt load of your monitor. If the UPS continues to provide power to the monitor for 1 or 2 minutes down it's an indication that it's working properly and the COMBINED LOAD of your monitor. PC etc. when plugged into the UPS is exceeding the 350 watt capacity of the UPS. You will have to disconnect 1 or more devices from the UPS.

NOTE: Never plug a laser printer into an UPS.

If the UPS immeadiately shuts down after disconnecting it from the AC line with only the monitor plugged into it you have a bad battery.

Hi,
Seems like your Battery is very low. Try charging the battery for a few hours. If the problem persists, it maybe the time to get a new battery.
Like all batteries, UPS Batteries (that store electricity and let s you use it in case of a power failure) have a limited life. This life is averaged to be around 2 years. So in case your UPS has been in use for approximately that much amount of time, the battery is in a near death situation.

For instructions regarding replacing the battery, please refer to your UPS Manual.
Hope this has helped you... Please rate the answer.. Thanks...

Bypass not available is a common alarm.

This is because the input and ouput parameters

volts and frequency do not match, suggest checking these with meter or using ups sw and comp.

Bypass will not function if either v or f is incorrect, check manual for specs.

Post more info about batt on load with mains conected please, as this could mean major fault such as rectifier failure or micro malfunction

Hope this helps, thanks for asking FixYa

On the mother board at the front are 2 rows of pins to which wires are attached, going to switch(power) and the manual reset and the LED's. Usually the first 2 sets of wires--pairs of Green&White and red/black&white are for power and reset. Once u pull out the jumper-like attachments u will be able to see whats written on them. Isolate the power & reset wires. Remove them fron the pins on the motherboard. Switch on ur UPS and by simply shorting 2 pins, starts the PC. Now that u have identified the power pins, put them back after cleaning the dust,etc. If the PC behaves as before but works perfectly when the power switch connections are opened & PC works normally after just touching the 2 oins, then the switch need to be replaced......sodeep

The erratic behavior and beeping could indicate that the Gel battery inside your UPS needs to be replaced, and is usually less expensive to replace than the entire UPS. You can remove the battery and contact a local or online source for a replacement. I replace mine through a local automotive battery supplier, and it' never cost me more than $20.00.

Since I don't know the exact circumstances of your power loss, here what I am guessing based on that you wrote.

This may be because the power does not come back cleanly after the power failure. Unfortunately, there is nothing much you can do about it. Since your router does work correctly after you manually reset it, the power supply seems to be fine.

If you have many power failures and find this situation to be annoying, you should look to buy a UPS (Uninterrupted power supply). This kind of devices have a battery that will ensure a clean power output when running, powering up and shutting down. It will protect you from interruptions and voltage fluctuation. You may also benefit from connecting you computer to a UPS because it will keep it running for a couple of minutes after a power failure to allow you to save your work and may also shut it down cleanly automaticaly.
