UPS fault

Can anyone has any idea as to What Timeout means in reference to Chloride UPS.
We have an alarm for Charger-Timeout & Battery-Timeout, though the Inverter is normal i.e there is no alarm.

RE: UPS fault

I don't know, what does the instruction manual have to say?

RE: UPS fault

What model Chloride UPS are you using?

RE: UPS fault

(OP)
DUAL UPS APODYS 120VAC 20KVA 60HZ

RE: UPS fault

This doesn't appear to be a standard alarm on the Apodys range of UPSs. With these units there are customised rectifier warning message and faults that can be programmed into the units.

Also, you need to be careful with these units as a fault can only be cleared by going through the screen menu and actually clearing the fault out of the micro.

Shutting down the unit and restarting doesn't clear a fault even if one has been repaired.

RE: UPS fault

The APODYS is the new Chloride design and is completely microprocessor controlled. Chloride are going down this path to keep all service contracts to themselves as any maintenance or fault finding can only be performed by Chloride engineers with the required software. Not the way to go in my opinion!!!
I will try and contact a few colleagues at Chloride to ask what this timeout alarm is if you haven't found out already.
I do know that some other Chloride systems have service alarms similar to a car. If they recommend that your UPS is serviced every year then an alarm will tell you that this time period is up. Once again you will need the software to clear this alarm.
