[UPS->Diagnostics]
The
UPS/Diagnostics
page provides the ability to verify UPS batteries are in
adequate working conditions. You can also complete a runtime estimation to insure an accurate
estimation for the connected load.
Item
Definition
Battery Test
The
Battery Test
will force the UPS/iPCS to switch to battery power for
10 seconds. This allows the user to verify the battery conditions and
provides information about the battery, including the results and date of
the last battery test. Click the “
Start
”
button to begin a battery test. The
information will be reported after a battery test completes.
Note:
“N/A” means the UPS/iPCS model does not have this function.
Last Test Result
The results of the most recent battery test.
Passed
: The battery performed normally during the test.
Failed
: The battery test did not pass.
Follow the steps below if the battery test fails:
Repeat the battery test and replace the batteries if the test fails again.
Contact
Smart Power Systems
for assistance if the battery test fails
after the batteries have been replaced.
Last Test Date
The date of the most recent battery test.
Runtime Estimation
The Runtime Estimation function discharges the UPS/iPCS batteries
from the battery capacity, at the time the estimate is requested, to near
zero capacity with the current load. The results of the runtime estimation
show the runtime, status of estimation, and the date of the last
estimation. When the runtime estimation is initiated, the connected
equipment will be run on battery power until the batteries are discharged
to near zero capacity. Once the batteries are discharged to this point, the
connected equipment will run on utility power. The batteries will then be
recharged automatically after the estimation is done.
Note: This estimated runtime may vary based on the load and the level of
charge on the batteries when the runtime estimation is initiated. The
batteries will be recharged then automatically after the estimation is
done.
Users can click the “Start” button to initiate the runtime estimation. Click
the “Abort” button to interrupt the runtime estimation. The result will be
reported after the runtime estimation is finished or canceled.
Estimated Runtime
The estimated runtime of the batteries with the current load.
Last Estimation
Result
The results of the last Runtime Estimation.
Passed
: The runtime estimation was completed and the batteries are
good.
Canceled
: The runtime estimation was interrupted.
Last Estimation Date
The date the last runtime estimation was performed.
