Testing New Batteries

NOTE It is recommended that the batteries charge for 6 to 24 hours before testing.

Press and hold the button for three seconds to initiate a self-test. The 15-second test automatically distributes the load to the batteries and tests the battery’s performance. While the test is in progress, the indicators cycle through and the alarm sounds. When complete, the UPS returns to Normal mode as indicated by the • and Load indicators.

If there is a problem with the battery, the alarm beeps, the ￿ ￿￿￿ indicator illuminates and the indicator flashes. Check the battery connections and be sure the battery is fully charged. Call your service representative if the problem persists.
