Ups Repair & Maintenance 1. Regular Inspection and Testing Check battery health (voltage, capacity, and physical condition). Inspect UPS internal components for dust, corrosion, or loose connections. Perform load testing to verify UPS can support the attached equipment during power failures. 2. Battery Maintenance Replace batteries every 3-5 years or as recommended by the manufacturer. Keep battery terminals clean and tight. Check electrolyte levels in lead-acid batteries if applicable. Use properly rated replacement batteries for compatibility. 3.

Troubleshooting Common Issues Frequent alarms or shutdowns: Check battery health or load conditions. UPS not powering on: Inspect battery connections or internal fuses. Overload errors: Reduce connected load or upgrade UPS capacity. 6. Professional Servicing Engage certified technicians for complex repairs or major component replacements. Regularly service the UPS as per manufacturer's schedule (usually annually). Keep maintenance logs for uptime tracking and warranty purposes. Benefits of Proper UPS Maintenance Prolongs UPS and battery lifespan. Enhances system reliability during power disruptions. Minimizes downtime and prevents data loss or hardware damage.
