8. Function

Self-test
The UPS performs a self-test automatically when turned on with the enable switch (by default). Automatic self-test eases
maintenance requirements by eliminating the need for periodic manual self-tests. During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates
the loads on-battery. If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to on-line operation.

If the UPS fails the self-test it immediately returns to on-line operation and lights the replace battery LED. The loads are not

affected by a failed test. Recharge the battery overnight and perform the self-test again. If the replace battery LED is still on,
replace the battery using the Replacing the Battery procedure.

Automatic Voltage Regulation
A transformer with a winding that can be switched to boost or trim the AC line voltage is used to correct for low or high input
voltage without using the battery continuously.
