AEC Star T3LC beeping but running fine?

05-29-2014, 12:06 PM

We got another of these AEC Star T3LC 3kVA on-lien double conversion units that it is beeping. Batteries are fine despite their age. Guy overheated one diode (told him to close the unit during 100% load), I have replaced it and burned MOSFET. Seizing fans were lubricated. Than one fan stopped working, replaced driving NPN transistor, it is OK now. All caps tested good.

The UPS seems to be running just OK, it works from power grid, it charges, it works from batteries, it does not indicate any problem on the front panel. Yet it beeps every 60 seconds. Anybody has any knowledge about these units? What may be the problem??

Man you wouldn't guess this...floating ground.

After we removed and mounted the PCB back several times, we just mounted it with 2 screws the last time. The other 8 did not have contact with grounded chasis. After fastening all of them it runs silently now. Will load it to full, this time with proper cooling.

Cyberpower cps1500avr not charging batteries

by carrzkiss

Hello, all.

Cyberpower Battery Backup Unit.

I bought two new ML18-12 batteries through Amazon (They have already refunded my money for the two batteries as we thought the batteries might have been bad.)
When I got them in, they were not fully charged. I connected them to the UPS and waited 24 hours before connecting any networking equipment.
In parallel, they read 24v, but within 24 hours, the meter on the front of the unit dropped from 4 to 3 bars on the battery charge indicator.
Checking the voltage, it was down to 22v.
I quickly removed everything...
