Change the battery test settings. From the Battery Test Settings screen, two different battery tests can be performed and the battery monitor can be reset.

Battery monitor test: Setting this value to True results in an automatic battery monitor test occurring dependant in the battery test options configured by the service engineer.

Battery capacity test: Setting this value to True results in the batteries being discharged until a Battery Low Voltage Level is reached. This

test can only be performed manually. The test is used to cycle the batteries in order to calibrate the backup time with the current load and battery modules installed.

Battery monitor reset: In the event of a weak battery or another battery problem, use this button to reset the battery monitor.
