5. RS-232 TERMINAL COMMUNICATION

Set Test Schedule

The UPS can be setup to perform a routine self-test at intervals you

specify. This will place the UPS into “LINE FAILURE” mode at a specific time
in order to test its functionality and the capacity of the batteries.

Set Test Start (DD:HH:MM = dd:hh:mm)

dd = Days
hh = Hours
mm = Minutes

(i.e., “05:02:15” represents start test in 5 days, 2 hours, 15 minutes). If

the dd, hh and mm are set to 00 then the automatic self-test is inactive

. After

each self-test the start time is reset to the number of days specified in the “Set
Test Frequency” (menu item 55). This feature requires the USER SECURITY
CODE for activation.

This menu is utilized to set the self test schedule by setting the count

down duration for the start of test. For example, if the user wishes to set the
start of test at midnight and the current time is 6:00 PM, the user can enter the
start of test frequency to (00:06:00) which represents 6 hours.

(NOTE: In the

absence of an I

2

D, the CFR does not have a real time clock on board, and

therefore the timing function may drift slightly over a period). The self-test
takes 1 minute to complete.

Set Test Frequency (XXX)

xxx = “off” or “dd days” - dd represents days

The user can activate the auto self-test feature by setting the test

frequency to every “dd” days. The self-test will start at the value displayed in
the “Set Test Start” line in “DD:HH:MM” format.

“OFF” indicates that the automatic self-test function is disabled. It can be

set by entering 0 days for Test Frequency. “dd days” indicates that the
automatic self-test function is enabled and is set to run the self-test at the
interval entered in this field. The maximum value is 30 days; default is “OFF”.
This feature requires the USER SECURITY CODE for activation.

NOTE: If the SID is installed, the TEST LED flashes while the test is in
progress.
