After losing input power to this UPS, it now won't power on correctly again. The warning led becomes red, all others are off.

We have a management card attached and can access it. We see the warning message A power factor correction fault exists.

This prevents me from turning output power on or running a self test.

When I try to turn the UPS off and on again, it comes back to the same state, and the logs say:

Model

Smart-UPS X 3000

2 Critical Alarms Present

The output power is turned off.
A power factor correction fault exists.

3 Warning Alarms Present

The power for switched outlet group 1, Outlet Group 1, is off.
The power for switched outlet group 2, Outlet Group 2, is off.
The power for switched outlet group 3, Outlet Group 3, is off.
