Testing The Battery Backup Function

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 software. To use the software self-test, open the main window, and then click mode on Setup. Click the red run button. The unit will cycle to battery mode and emit an audible beep. With the software self- test, the unit will switch back to AC power automatically.

Battery Replacement

Read and follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before servicing the battery.

Service the battery under the supervision of personnel knowl- edgeable of batteries and their precautions. Servicing the bat- tery can only be performed by qualified personnel.

CAUTION! Use only the specified type of battery. See your dealer for replacement batteries.

CAUTION! The battery may present the risk of electrical shock. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Follow all local ordinances regarding proper disposal of batteries.

CAUTION! Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released elec- trolyte is harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic

CAUTION! A battery can present a high risk of short circuit cur- rent and electrical shock. Take the following precautions before replacing the battery:

1.Remove all watches, rings or other metal objects.

2.Only use tools with insulated handles.

3.Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of battery or any terminals.

4.Wear rubber gloves and boots.

5.Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadver- tently grounded, remove source of ground. CONTACT WITH A GROUNDED BATTERY CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK! The likelihood of such shock will be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance (applicable to a UPS and a remote battery supply not having a grounded circuit).
