Frequently asked questions

To verify the graceful shutdown function, go to Configuration > Runtime, select 'Preserve Battery Power', and specify a delay time. Unplug the UPS to switch to battery mode and wait for the delay time. Your computer should then perform a graceful shutdown.

Ensure the UPS is powered on, no other application is using the USB or serial port, the cable is securely connected, and the PowerPanel Personal service is running. If the service isn't running, you can start it via the command prompt using 'startService.bat' in the installation directory.

This usually indicates that the load on the UPS is too high, depleting the battery capacity quickly. To resolve this, reduce the load on the UPS to increase runtime, and ensure the battery is fully charged.

You can disable the UPS alarm by navigating to Configuration > Notifications > UPS Alarms and selecting 'Disable alarm at all times'.
