Chapter 13 Troubleshooting
The Eaton 9355 is designed for durable, automatic operation and also alerts you whenever potential operating
problems may occur. Usually the alarms shown by the control panel do not mean that the output power is
affected. Instead, they are preventive alarms intended to alert the user. Use the following troubleshooting chart
to determine the UPS alarm condition.
Typical Alarms and Conditions
The following table describes typical alarms and conditions; check the Event Log through the control panel for
a list of active alarms. If an alarm appears with a service code, please contact the Help Desk (see page 88).
