UPS shuts down itself

Anonymous user · ‎2021-06-28

Hi all, I've searched for someone with my same problem but I didn't find nothing.
I have an APC Back-UPS BX950UI 950 VA with only one iMac connected. I often leave the iMac in standby, because is convenient for me.

The problem is that when I come back to my desk i find the iMac and UPS off. I think that the UPS shuts down itself because it detects no flow of electricity.
I tried to search for some "automatic shutdown" configuration in PowerChute but I didn't find nothing. Can you help me? Thank you

Hi,

I have never heard of a shutdown from an Online condition due to there being no or low load. The unit will however shutdown from a low load condition, if it switches to / is running on battery. It’s refereed to as Low Voltage Shutdown. This is generally after having been on battery for 20-30 minutes.
