To perform a battery monitor test:
1. Press
to display the user parameters.
2. Press
or
3. Press
to start the battery monitor test. The display shows "Batt. operation time > xxx min."
("xxx" = the minutes of runtime remaining. This number will fluctuate during the test.)
4. When the test is complete, the display shows "Normal operation load power xx%" if the
batteries are in acceptable condition. If the test has determined that the batteries are
unacceptable, the unit starts either a "Battery monitor warning" or "Battery monitor alarm." See
Table 4 (page 14) for a detailed description of these alarms.
303 Battery Capacity Test
IMPORTANT:
The battery capacity test discharges the batteries to the "Low DC warning" and displays estimated
runtime. This estimate is only correct for the unit's condition at the time of the battery capacity test.
If the load changes and you would like to display estimated runtime, you must perform this test
again. After a battery capacity test, the unit must charge the batteries for at least eight hours
before it has full battery capacity and full runtime.
To perform a battery capacity test, follow these steps:
1. Press
to display the user parameters.
2. Press
or
("xxx" = the backup time from the last test). If the test has never been performed before or if the
test has been aborted, the display will show "???."
3. Press
to abort the test or
to scroll through parameters until the display shows "Battery monitor test."
If you are using UPS contacts for a communication link, take the
necessary precautions so this test will not cause a premature shutdown.
See your software documentation for more information.
