This morning all lights started flashing on my APC Line-R 1200VA AVR. What kind of fault do I have here?
Standard manual says nothing about it, and I cannot find service manual for it.
When all lights start flashing there is no more output from AVR (devices connected do not get power).

In my case I found that power socket itself was faulty (due to faulty electronic breaker on distribution board). I wasted so much time figuring out what is wrong until I decided to ditch all special testing meters and use vacuum cleaner as the most reliable test for power socket 😀.
Usually flashing lights means your equipment electronics are faulty, but thankfully that was not the case with my APC.
Nevertheless, many thanks for the advice - might use it next time.
It was a tad frustrating that I could not find any service manual with more details on how to handle problems with APC - only thing available was that one page user guide which does not help much.
Best regards
