Chapter 6 Maintenance

3Keep the ambient temperature between 15and 25.

4 To prevent small current discharge, continuous battery discharge time exceeding 24 hours is prohibited.

5Please contact the distributor if the battery backup time is greatly shortened, or the UPS LCD displays “battery needs to be replaced”. Confirm whether the battery needs to be replaced. Please confirm whether the parameters of the replaced battery and new battery are same.

6Check whether the auto battery management function is normal because many battery maintenance work is done automatically through the battery management functions, for example, charging the battery periodically, temperature compensation, EC/FC switchover, battery low alarm and battery life forecast.

2. Manual battery self-test

The conditions for self test:

1Battery contactor closes

2Battery is in float charging state;

3Rectifier and inverter communicate normally;

4Battery status is normal;

5Rectifier operates normally;

6Utility source voltage is normal;

7Inverter operates normally

8Load capacity is larger than the battery capacity set by battery curves;

9UPS is not in united operation (generator + battery) mode

The battery self test will be conducted only all of the above conditions are satisfied. During the self test, if any one of the above condition is not satisfied, the system will exit the self test state and enter equalization charging state.

Pressing the “stop manual self test” can stop the self test process and the battery transfers to equalization state.

Battery will transfer to equalization state after self test is over.

3. Auto battery self test

Auto self-test is start if the UPS operation states satisfies the manual self-test condition and the last self-test interval satisfy the “battery discharging interval”. The
