Initiating a self-test
A self-test can be performed with equipment connected to the UPS output receptacles. To initiate a self-test,
press and hold the Mute/Test button until the alarm beeps two times.
CAUTION: Do not unplug the UPS to test the batteries. This action removes safe electrical grounding and
can introduce a damaging surge into the network connections.
The self-test lasts approximately 10 seconds as the UPS switches to battery power to test the load capacity
and battery charge. During the self-test, the Power LED flashes, the Output Load Level LED illuminates, and
the Battery Charge LED illuminates.
Silencing an audible alarm
Press the Mute/Test button.
IMPORTANT:
•
Although the audible alarm silences, the condition that caused the alarm to sound might still exist.
•
If a utility power failure caused the alarm (the Power LED is flashing green), the alarm silences after
power is restored.
