Voltage Boost, Turn off?

When plugged into my power strip (which gives off about 108V, low side I know, but all my systems work well) the voltage boost turns on, I wanted to know if there is anyway I can make the UPS think that 108 is fine so the Voltage boost would turn off?

The only way to set this is to connect to the ups via serial port and have the program APC uses to set the parameters on the UPS. THis is the only way.

Have your supply voltage and frequency checked under load.

SOURCE: APC ES-350 won't turn on; all I see is a blinking light.

Try looking for a small circuit breaker on the side that says "press to reset" - you could have tripped it accidentally when you unplugged the iPod.  Also, try pressing and holding the UPS power switch for 10-15 seconds.  That should force a power on as well.

SOURCE: APC external Backup battery is not working plz

Solution #1 is absolutly correct.......

But...keep something in mind. You also have a 50-50 chance that the inverter may have also gone...with the battery. So you could buy a new battery for $30.00 or you could by a new UPS for $65.00

So does this APC you have seem almost disposable?
The question is....if you buy a $30.00 battery and the unit does not work, then you buy a $65.00 UPS, how much did it actually cost you? Just consider that option.

My 08 Chevy Tahoe with 56k on it lost all power as I was driving I tried to crank it back up but it wouldn't start. Stable track, traction control , engine light reduced power on.Changed battery nada

Do you know anything about automotive electrical testing ? Do you know what it takes for your vehicle to start ? When you trun the key to start what happens ? The electronic's involved ? The ignition switch is a input to the BCM - body control module . When the key is turned to the start position the BCM see's that an then sends a coded message to the ECM - engine computer.over the serial data bus or network ! which will then energize the starter relay , located in the under hood fuse box . This will only happen if the ECM see's the input from the transmission range sensor , telling the PCM the vehicle is in park or neutral. an there isn't any problem with the anti- theft system . Plus all the other basic problems that can cause a no crank no start condition . Battery , battery connections , battery cables etc... Low Voltage will cause warning lights to come on , telling the driver those systems are disabled . The best thing you could do , have a qualified repair shop hook up a professional scan tool an check for DTC'S .

Circuit Description (Key Start)
When the ignition switch is placed in the Start position, a discrete 12-volt signal is supplied to the body control module (BCM) notifying it that the ignition is in the Start position. The BCM then sends a message to the engine control module (ECM) notifying it that CRANK has been requested. The ECM verifies that the transmission is in Park or Neutral. If it is, the ECM then supplies 12 volts to the control circuit of the STRTR relay. When this occurs, battery positive voltage is supplied through the switch side of the STRTR relay to terminal S of the starter solenoid.

Also if the charging system was not working properly the Computers on the vehicle would shut thing's down if the BCM see's low output from the alternator .
Electrical Power Management
The electrical power management (EPM) is used to monitor and control the charging system and alert the driver of possible problems within the charging system. The EPM system makes the most efficient use of the generator output, improves the battery state of charge (SOC), extends battery life.
The idle boost operation is a means of improving generator performance during a low voltage or low battery SOC condition.
Idle boost is activated in incremental steps, idle boost 1 must be active before idle boost 2 can be active. The criteria used by the body control module (BCM) to regulate EPM are outlined below.

Turns on & off..but, no heat. electric furnace Is there a RESET button on a Nordyne electric furnace?

Does the fan run normally? Or does it run all the time? If the fan operation is normal the problem may be a bad heat sequencers(relays) or the heat strip itself could be defective. Kill the high voltage grab a meter and disconnect the wires from the heat strip and ohm out the winding. If it's open then that's a problem. If it has a value ( probably low that's ok) then they should be good. Plug all wires back in. Move to the the heat sequencers look for any burnt wires. The low voltage should be blue and white wires maybe brown (second stage normally). This is the part that requires live testing of the system do not attempt if u are not familiar or comfortable with high voltage...be careful. With all wire plugged back in and the panels off turn on the high voltage. With the meter check for low voltage across the heat sequencers to should read 24+ volts across the blue and white. This would indicate a on switch. if on then check for the lead that come from the high voltage to the heat sequencers red wire usually. This wire is hot always. Check between the chassis and this lead for 120 vac. If u have the switch on and high voltage present there should be high voltage on the opposite terminal check with meter. In no voltage the sequencer is bad. Hope this helps. Oh if no low voltage check tstat wire (white) and then check the tstat for correct programming if digital.. you might do that step first btw

My caddy dose not have any power after I tried to change the radio it was working fine until I tried to replace the radio

Try giving the vehicle a boost. Were the interior lights/ignition on during radio replacement? The battery may have run down. Even though a new battery, with accessories left on, it will drain causing the low voltage display

Ugolini slush machines

check the left side condenser coils, make sure they're clean. there might be low air flow, and that'll cause the compressor to overheat and shut off. leave at least 6 inches of space on both sides of the machine for it to breathe. also if the ambient temp is too hot, same thing.

No lights on ps4, fuse good, nothing works

Check all the GFIs any where close to the panel . The power center has a high voltage side (220v) and a low voltage side (110v). It sounds like the low voltage side has lost power. You may have to open the panel and check. If you are the least bit uncomfortable working with electricity get a pool tech to help. The system must be powered up to test.

I just moved from a different location. When I try to plug in my 6310xi the light comes on for a few moments then shuts off. Only a small blinking camera light in the lower left front of the unit blinks....

i think the power supply in your new location is bad, the small blinking camera light is only indicating low voltage.

M y advice is you get a stabilizer to boost the voltage or voltage regulator to boost the power supply to the printer standard.

I wish you best of luck

When trying to start bike starter has whirring noise,odd occasion tries to turn over?

Your starter is not engaging? Bad "bendix', low power level in yolur battery or stripped gear on your starter. Id suspect the gear.

Remove the starter (two bolts, probably 8 mm <>) and the power wire. Inspect the business end of the starter (the gear) . Stripped? replace it.

If you are brave, hook up the wire, create a ground path using a heavy jumper cable or equal, turn on the switch and press the button. What happens? If the gear is deformed, replace it. If the gear fails to shoot out - find out why. If it runs slow, you may have a low voltage issue. Check your batteryand charging system.

If you need more help, let me know. Let me know if this works for you.

LEXMARK T620 FUSER ERROR 924

Explanation
A 924.xx error message indicates that an "open circuit" has been detected in the fuser unit.
What to do

  1. If this is the first time you have seen the error, turn the printer off.
  2. Leave the printer off for at least 10 seconds to give it a chance to reset, then turn it back on.
  3. If this does not clear the fuser error, the printer will probably require service. The parts most likely to be causing this error are the following:

    1st, the fuser unit ( this is the most likely of the three )

    2nd, the system board
    3rd, the low voltage power supply unit.

    These parts will need to be inspected by a service technician and replaced as necessary.

    IMPORTANT!
    If this is an intermittent error, you may want to check how the printer is plugged into the wall. Make sure it is plugged straight into the wall and not through a surge device or power strip. Power strips and uninterrupted power supplies can cause a low amperage problem in the printer which can trigger a false fuser error. This is true even if the printer has worked on this surge device previously.
