Testing Your UPS System
Once you have set up your UPS system, you may wish to test it. Make sure that the UPS has been
charged for at least 4 hours before performing this test.
If you are using PowerPanel software:
1. With your UPS and computer on, open an application such as notepad.
2. Enter some data into the application.
3. Unplug the UPS from the AC outlet.
When a power failure occurs, PowerPanel will appear on the screen. The outlet and battery
symbols will change to indicate a power failure. The countdown timer will move towards zero.
When the timer reaches zero, the software will begin to save and close any open applications. The
software will auto-assign names to any files that have not been previously saved, and then save the
file to the C:/PCTemp folder which is located in the root directory of your C drive (where C is the
name of your main hard drive). Once all open files have been saved and closed, PowerPanel will
shutdown the operating system. Once the operating system is shutdown, the UPS will turn off
within 90 seconds. Wait until the UPS has turned off before plugging the UPS back into the outlet.
1. Have your computer and UPS turned on.
2. Unplug the UPS from the wall to simulate a power failure.
3. The UPS will begin beeping, indicating a power failure.
4. Save and close any open files.
5. Shut down the operating system.
6. Once the computer system is shutdown, turn the UPS off.
As the battery discharges, the unit will beep more rapidly, indicating that the battery is nearing
discharge. Once the test is complete, plug the UPS back in and start your computer. Please allow 4
hours for the UPS to recharge before attempting another self-test.
Once the test has been completed, plug the UPS back into the wall and turn it back on. You may then
restart your computer. Please allow 4 hours for the UPS to recharge before attempting another
self-test.
