3.3 Self Test
The battery test finds out if the batteries can provide backup power. It is started from the Param-
eters menu (Figure 3.1). This should not be done for the first 24 hours after a new unit is in-
stalled so the batteries can be fully charged. Every 30 days, the unit automatically does a battery
discharge test. If it finds a problem, it is displayed on the LCD.
Procedure
TIP: If no buttons are pushed for 10 seconds, the LCD exits this menu and displays the operat-
ing mode.
1 Press the FUNC button for 5 seconds.
The first parameter, “O/P Volt Set” is displayed on the LCD (Figure 3.1).
2 Press FUNC to scroll through the parameters until “Battery Test” appears.
3 Press the ENTER button. When the LCD shows “Test?” press ENTER.
The test starts and the LCD shows “Battery Test.”
4 After the test, the unit resumes line mode and the LCD shows “Line Mode.” If a fault is found,
the FAULT LED is on. Do troubleshooting as described in Section 3.5.
