storage/use environment and backup frequency.)
The nearer the end of the life is, the more rapidly deterioration proceeds.

5-1-2 Self-diagnosis test
This test performs a failure diagnosis on the unit and performs a test to check for battery
deterioration.
Use the procedure below to check whether a circuit failure has occurred inside the unit and
whether battery replacement is required.
There are two, automatic testing and manual testing, in the self-diagnosis test as follows.
■
Automatic testing
The self-diagnosis test is automatically performed at the factory settings, at the following
timing in the state that the UPS is connected to a commercial power source and the charge
of the battery has been completed. User’s operation to start the test is unnecessary.
▪
When the UPS is started up by pressing the “Power” switch
▪
When power has been supplied for four weeks
If the battery is not sufficiently charged, the self-diagnostic test is not performed. The test is
automatically performed when the battery is charged completely.
