UNCTION
Self-Test
Automatic:
The UPS performs a self-test automatically when turned on, and every two
weeks thereafter (by default). During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the connected
equipment on battery.
If the UPS fails the self-test, the
replace
battery
LED illuminates and immediately returns
to online operation. The connected equipment is not affected by a failed test. Allow the
battery to recharge for 24 hours and perform another self-test. If it fails, the battery must
be replaced.
Manual:
Press and hold the
button for a few seconds to initiate the self-test.
Cold Start
When the UPS is off and there is no utility power, use the
cold start feature
to supply
power to the connected equipment from the UPS battery module (See
Troubleshooting
).
Diagnostic Utility
Voltage
The UPS has a diagnostic feature that displays the utility voltage. Plug the UPS into the
utility power outlet.
The UPS starts a self-test as part of this procedure. The self-test does not affect the
voltage display.
Press and hold the
button to view the utility voltage bar graph display. After a few
seconds, this five-LED
Battery Charge
display on the right of the front panel will
show the utility input voltage.
Refer to the figure at left for the voltage reading, corresponding to the configured nominal
output voltage.
The display indicates the voltage is between the displayed value on the list and the next
higher value.
If
three LEDs are illuminated
, the utility voltage is close to the nominal output voltage
setting. If
no
LEDs are illuminated
and the UPS is plugged into a properly functioning
utility power outlet, the line voltage is extremely low. If
all five LEDs are illuminated
,
make sure that the nominal voltage selection is correct. If
all LEDs remain illuminated
,
the line voltage is extremely high and should be checked by an electrician.
Maximum Power and VA Specifications
The UPS can supply up to its VA (Volt-Amps) or power (Watts) limits (whichever is higher for the
connected load) of output power, before it enters an alarm state. When operating online, the alarm
state will result in a continuous audible alarm and the
overload
LED
will be illuminated. How-
ever, when operating on battery, an overload condition might cause the load to be shut down imme-
diately. The VA and power limits depend on the nominal voltage of the UPS.
