mode. To turn on the UPS, press and hold the button until you hear the UPS beep (approximately
one second). The LCD briefly displays “On Delay” and the “Power On” indicator illuminates. Then
the UPS conducts a self-test, briefly displaying “On BATTERY”. If an alarm condition occurs, see

When the self-test is complete, the LCD displays “On Line” indicating that power is available from
the UPS output receptacles.

Diagnostic Tests
The UPS automatically performs a self-test when powered on and when the UPS restarts after a
power outage. The self-test monitors the UPS electronics and battery and indicates any problems
on the front panel.
A battery test is automatically performed every 30 days (720 hours) of continuous Normal mode
operation. The test lasts approximately 15 seconds and any failure is displayed on the front panel.
Both the UPS and battery tests can be performed manually (see Section 4.0 "Configuration" for
more information).
