5.2.7 UPS Tests
The UPS Tests menu allows the user to access submenus that show operation
confirmation functions. This screen shows the audible alarm test sub-menu. When
the Do key is pressed, the UPS will briefly sound the
audible alarm.
This screen shows the battery test sub-menu. When the
Do key is pressed, the UPS will perform a self test to
determine the readiness of the UPS and the batteries to
operate the load while on-battery. When conducting this
test, the UPS operates on-battery. The UPS does not signal
the on-battery condition at the Computer Interface port
during this test. The display will report PASS or FAIL at
the end of the test.
This screen shows the battery run time calibration test
sub-menu. To calibrate the UPSs run time display
following installation, press the Do key. If the calibration
test is not conducted, the UPS provides only a rough
estimate of run time until actual battery statistics can be
acquired during an extended mains failure.
When the Do key is pressed, the UPS will perform the test
only if battery capacity is at 100%. The test is completed
and the UPS returns to normal on-line operation when the
batteries are discharged to approximately 25% of their full
capacity. The calibration test can be aborted at any time
during the test.
5.2.8 Password protection
All functions accessed by the UPS Control, UPS Setup and UPS Tests menus may be
password protected to prevent operation of the unit in a fashion not intended by the
UPS manager. The password settings are accessed by optional UPS monitoring
application software.
