CPS1100AVR
Guaranteed Uninterruptible Power System
TESTING YOUR UPS SYSTEM
Once you have set up your UPS system, you may wish to
test it. Make sure that the UPS has been charged for at least 4 hours before performing this test.
If you are using PowerPanel Plus™:
1. With your UPS and computer on, open an application such as notepad.
2. Enter some data into the application.
3. Unplug the UPS from the AC outlet.
When a power failure occurs, PowerPanel Plus™ will appear on the screen. The outlet and battery symbols will change
to indicate a power failure. The countdown timer will move towards zero. When the timer reaches zero, the software
will begin to save and close any open applications. The software will auto-assign names to any files that have not been
previously saved, and then save the file to the
PCTemp
folder which is located in the root directory of your
C drive
(where
C
is the name of your main hard drive). Once all open files have been saved and closed, PowerPanel Plus™ will shut
down the operating system. Once the operating system is shutdown, the UPS will turn off within 90 seconds. Wait until
the UPS has turned off before plugging the UPS back into the outlet.
Once the test has been completed, plug the UPS back into the AC outlet and turn it back on. You may then restart your
computer. Please allow 4 hours for the UPS to recharge before attempting another self-test.
If you are not using PowerPanel Plus™:
1. Have your computer and UPS turned on.
2. Unplug the UPS from the wall to simulate a power failure.
3. The UPS will begin beeping, indicating a power failure.
4. Save and close any open files.
5. Shut down the operating system.
6. Once the computer system is shutdown, turn the UPS off.
As the battery discharges, the unit will beep more rapidly, indicating that the battery is nearing discharge. Once the test
is complete, plug the UPS back in to the AC outlet and start your computer. Please allow 4 hours for the UPS to recharge
before attempting another self-test.
