Alarms & troubleshooting

SRC1_ABNORMAL (Source 1 Out of Tolerance)
S1 LED Off or Amber flashing, Alarm LED Amber solid, intermittent buzzer
Primary Source 1 (S1) experienced AC outage, undervoltage (<180VAC), overvoltage (>260VAC), or frequency deviation outside tolerance window (50/60Hz ±5%).
1. Measure True RMS L-N voltage and frequency at S1 input terminals; 2. Inspect upstream circuit breaker and PDU feeding S1 for trips or loose wiring; 3. Verify S1 voltage tolerance thresholds via LTS software interface; 4. Once supply stabilizes, verify automatic or manual retransfer back to S1.
SRC2_ABNORMAL (Source 2 Out of Tolerance)
S2 LED Off, Alarm LED Amber solid, loss of redundancy warning
Secondary Source 2 (S2) tripped breaker, disconnected input cord, or voltage/frequency out of specification, resulting in lost power redundancy.
1. Check upstream branch breaker supplying Source 2 from alternate UPS/PDU; 2. Measure S2 input terminal voltage to ensure it is within 220V/230V ±10%; 3. Reseat S2 IEC input power connector and tighten screw terminals; 4. Verify S2 LED turns solid green indicating dual redundancy restoration.
OUTPUT_OVERLOAD (Output Current Overload)
Output Load LED Red solid, Alarm LED Red flashing, continuous buzzer tone
Downstream IT load exceeds 16A rated capacity of UF-LTS16-1P (continuous >100% or severe inrush), risking thermal breaker trip or transfer inhibition.
1. Check rack PDU ammeters to identify aggregate IT current draw; 2. Immediately shed non-critical servers or compute loads to bring current below 13A (80% load factor); 3. Investigate concurrent server boot inrush currents; 4. If the rear thermal circuit protector tripped, wait for cooldown and push to reset.
SRC_UNSYNC (Sources Out of Synchronization)
S1 and S2 LEDs Green, Sync LED Off or Amber flashing, Alarm LED Amber solid
Phase angle displacement between Source 1 and Source 2 exceeds transfer window limit (typically >30°), inhibiting rapid seamless transfer to prevent transformer saturation.
1. Determine if dual inputs originate from unsynchronized UPS sources or grid/generator split feeds; 2. If dual UPS are used, check upstream LBS (Load Bus Synchronizer) operation; 3. Note that in unsynchronized state, STS falls back to break-before-make transfer (8-16ms); 4. Re-establish upstream phase sync to clear alarm.
STS_FAULT (Internal SCR / Switch Hardware Fault)
Fault LED Red solid, Output LED off or flashing, continuous rapid audible alarm
Internal Silicon-Controlled Rectifier (SCR) short circuit, open circuit, gate driver circuitry failure, or contactor welding on power path.
1. Immediately check downstream critical load status without attempting forced manual switching; 2. If an external bypass switch is present, transfer load to maintenance bypass; 3. Open both upstream input breakers (S1/S2) to isolate LTS and apply LOTO safety protocols; 4. Check SCR diode continuity with a multimeter; 5. Contact Vertiv Technical Support for unit RMA or replacement.
