When to Replace Batteries
When the
indicator flashes, the batteries may need replacing.
Conduct a self-test by pressing and holding the
button for three
seconds.
NOTE
The batteries must be fully charged and the UPS must not be in Battery mode to
perform the self-test.
NOTE
Load must be applied to the UPS to perform the battery test. Apply the following
load amounts according to the UPS rating: 50% load for 700 VA; 35% load for 1000 VA; 38%
load for 1500 VA; or 25% load for 2000 VA.
After the test is complete, the
indicator should turn off (it may take a
few seconds to turn off). If the
indicator continues to flash, contact
your Avaya service representative to order new batteries.
Replacing Batteries
NOTE
DO NOT DISCONNECT the batteries while the UPS is in Battery mode.
With the hot-swappable battery feature, UPS batteries can be replaced
easily without turning the UPS off or disconnecting the load.
If you prefer to remove input power to change the batteries, see
“Turning the UPS Off” on page 32.
Consider all warnings, cautions, and notes before replacing batteries.
