UPS functions
For this configuration step, navigate to the following menu:
The UPS Functions menu contains options to perform tests sequences or to configure build-in special functions a UPS may provide.
They are tailored to the UPS model used to represent its functionality. As a consequence, the functions displayed for this menu item can
vary - some UPSs only allow the on / off state as well as a single test-button, others provide more functionality.
The following functions represent typical menu entries:
Custom Test
The Custom Test is an on-battery function test using a self-defined time in minutes.
Battery Test
The battery test checks whether the UPS works properly and the batteries take over. This test usually takes about 15 seconds. This test
will not show how long the batteries will be able to take over.
Full Test
The Full Test will test the batteries until they are depleted. This test can take a long time depending on power and load. The CS141 also
accurately measures and determines the runtime under load. Please note UPS systems require stable load of at least 25% to perform a
full test.
Self test
With this test, the UPS checks its own electrical functionality
Note:
In some cases, a UPS command may seem to fail or an error message may appear. This behavior is based on the fact a UPS receives
and confirms a command, but without doing it until pre-conditions are fulfilled. As an example, there must be a minimum charge for a
particular battery test - otherwise the UPS returns an error message as a result. This result will be logged accordingly as "error". In
reverse cases, it is possible the UPS sends a positive feedback despite errors but indicates an error on the front display itself.
Due to these facts in sometimes the behavior of a UPS system is unique and for some cases unfortunately not predictable.
