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 testing.

To test the UPS, simply depress the test button located on the front of the unit. The unit will cycle to battery and emit an audible beep. The unit will stop beeping when the test is complete.

You may also use the self-test function in the PowerPanel PlusTM software. To use the software self- test, open the main window, and then click on setup (refer to page 8). Click the red run button. The unit will cycle to battery and emit an audible beep. With the software self-test, the unit will switch back to AC power automatically.
