5.4.2 Periodic Testing of UPS
The UPS Unit should be manually exercised on a periodic basis (once every three months, for example).
This forces the UPS unit to transfer to the battery and return to main power. This process activates self-
diagnostic testing which may reveal conditions that require attention.
5.4.3 Maintaining the Batteries

PROTECTIVE CLOTHING. IF THE ELECTROLYTE CONTACTS THE SKIN,
WASH IT OFF IMMEDIATELY WITH WATER. IF ELECTROLYE CONTACTS
