Yesterday one of our Dell UPS 2700W sounded an alarm and the error log reports it as Alarm 149. According to the manual here is the description:
"A faulted battery string has
been detected and as a result,
the charger is disabled."
The recommended action is to "Contact your service representative." I was wondering if anyone can shed any light on this error message. What it exactly means and is there anything I can do short of actually calling Dell for help.
I appreciate any help or suggestions. For now the backlight on the front display is orange instead of blue and the there is a blinking battery icon with a line through it.
Also, the UPS Management software from Dell shows that everything is functioning normally so I'm kind of confused.
