APC RS1200 UPS--Normality?

[m0unds]

I'm the owner APC RS1200 that the company I work for just bought for my office machines and associated hardware--- We've had an electrician onsite already, and all the electrical wiring looked fine and tested as such. Since I've hooked the RS1200 up (it's running at 214 watts out of 700 max load) it's dropped onto battery power 21 times for a total time of 1:44 since...2 hours or so ago. Is this normal behavior for an electrical circuit, or should I call the electrician back out to check it again?

The circuit only has the RS1200 + computer and LCD on it. There are no other devices on it. No microwave ovens or anything nearby. APC's software reads the changes as "blackouts" (it just did it again, 22 in 2 hours.) I watched the indicator of voltage--it always shows 0 when it changes to battery..which makes no sense, since the machine never shut itself down or powered off without the UPS (using just an APC surgearrest)


Power gurus please advise. thanks.

Does the software tell you what the incoming voltage is when it's on AC?

yeah-- voltage when normal fluctuates b/w 115 and 122-- when it changes to battery, it's showing 0

I think I might have figured out the issue. I recently added a PII box running m0n0wall to this circuit-- I had forgotten to remove the SCSI controller and unplug the scsi hdd and SLA drive. After doing this, voltages are rock solid, and the UPS hasn't switched to battery at all. We'll see if it stays that way.


*edit* nope. that's not it.
