Self-test
The self-test verifies that both the operation of the UPS and the condition of the batteries are
normal. Under normal operating power, push and hold the ON/TEST button for more than 1
second and the UPS will perform a self-test function. During the self-test, the UPS will operate
in back-up mode.
Note: During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the load(s) on battery power (the Back-Up
LED turns on). If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to on-line operation the Back-Up
LED turns off and the Line Normal LED turns on steady. If the UPS fails the self-test it
immediately returns to normal operation and the Replace Battery LED turns on. The loads
are unaffected by the self-test. Recharge the battery overnight and perform the self-test again.
If the Replace Battery LED is still on, ask our nearest dealer about replacing the batteries.

Load Bar Graph
This 5 LED display shows the power required by the load as a percentage of the UPS's rated
capacity. For example: If three LEDs are lit, the load is drawing between 50% and 67% of the
total capacity. If the UPS is overloaded, the overload LED lights and an alarm sounds.
