Bubba Bob Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hey guys,I bought a "Cyberpower 320SL" at a garage sell this mornin. (For $1) It has 6 power ports, 3 of which are for the battery back up feature. Those 3 DONT work, & the "Faulty wiring" light on. Ive tried it on several different home outlets, with no change.Is this unit broken or should the person that wired my house be shot?Is it fixable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the problem is isolated to the "battery backup" ports, that would be my first suspicion."Faulty wiring" usually means the hot and neutral lines are swapped. Most devices will work just fine anyway. I've never seen a surge protector or battery backup refuse to work due to this, but it's not inconceivable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
