Initiating a self-test

A self-test can be performed with equipment connected to the UPS output receptacles. To initiate a self-test, press and hold the Mute/Test button until the alarm beeps two times.

CAUTION: Do not unplug the UPS to test the batteries. This action removes safe electrical grounding and can introduce a damaging surge into the network connections.

The self-test lasts approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery power to test the load capacity and battery charge. During the self-test, the Power LED flashes, the Output Load Level LED illuminates, and the Battery Charge LED illuminates.

Silencing an audible alarm

Press the Mute/Test button.

IMPORTANT:

•Although the audible alarm silences, the condition that caused the alarm to sound might still exist.

•If a utility power failure caused the alarm (the Power LED is flashing green), the alarm silences after power is restored.
