Hi Ahmed -
Have you tried performing a "brain dead" on the UPS? To do that you turn off the UPS, disconnect input power (there is a breaker on the back that will do this), and then press/hold the off button again until you hear a "click". You may also see a brief flash of the LED's on the front of the UPS.
After this process, restore input power then turn the UPS on. If the fault(s) remain the issue is most likely a hardware failure. If they clear there is a chance they were erroneous - In that case I would just keep an eye on the unit. If the fault returns then the unit should likely be replaced.
Your local tech support can assist with any additional trouble shooting (or warranty support if applicable..)
Thanks
Liam
