Initiating the Battery Test

NOTE The batteries must be fully charged and the UPS must not be in Battery mode to
perform the battery test.

NOTE For an accurate battery test, test the UPS with at least 10% load applied to the UPS.

You can configure the battery test settings, initiate a test, cancel a test,
and view the test report.

Configuring the Battery Test. The UPS automatically performs a battery
test every 7 to 90 days (user selectable) if this option is enabled. To
enable or disable the automatic battery test and to select the test
frequency and length, select MENU from the system status screen,
then select SETUP, USER SETUP, and BATTERY TEST. Select to enable
or disable the automatic test, choose a test period (7 to 90 days), and
choose the test time (1 to 99 minutes).

Initiating a Battery Test. To initiate a manual battery test, select MENU
from the system status screen, then select CONTROL, BATTERY TEST,
and SCHEDULE TEST. The UPS verifies the battery converter and
schedules the battery test to occur during the next appropriate stage in
the charging cycle (or immediately if possible). During the battery test,
the

indicator flashes rapidly.

Canceling a Battery Test. To cancel a test already scheduled, select MENU
from the system status screen, then select CONTROL, BATTERY TEST,
and CANCEL TEST.

Viewing the Battery Test Report. To view a report of the latest battery test,
select MENU from the system status screen, then select CONTROL,
BATTERY TEST, and TEST REPORT.
