User Parameters
"USER PARAMETERS" allows you to set the UPS time and date, enter
the capacity of the batteries used in the UPS, and to change the security
codes. When the USER PARAMETER screen is first accessed, you are
prompted for a security code. Note: The code (1111) is pre-set at the factory
and can be changed by entering the SET SECURITY CODE screen. After
the code is correctly entered, the main menu prompts you to select any of the
options by pressing the > arrow to advance through the various parameter
screens; or < to step back through the screens. Press ENTER when the
correct screen appears.
Set Time
Time is kept on a 24-hour clock (HH-MM-SS). Once this screen is
entered, fields can be updated using the numbered keys on the keypad, or the
up or down arrows to advance or decrement the entries. The first key
pressed (number or arrow) will determine the available keys to complete the
entry (see page 14).
Set Date
The date is kept on a 12-month calendar (MM-DD-YY). Once this
screen is entered, fields can be updated using the numbered keys on the
keypad, or the up or down arrows to advance or decrement the entries. The
first key pressed (number or arrow) will determine the available keys to
complete the entry (see page 14).
Set Test Schedule
The UPS can be setup to perform a routine self-test at intervals you
specify. Once this screen is entered, you are prompted to enter specific test
parameters from the available sub-menus.
Set Test Start Time
The start time is entered as described above, and is the time that will
activate the self-test routine. Once this information is entered, you are
prompted to enter the next set of test parameters.
Set Test Start Date
The start date is entered as described above. This establishes the
earliest date that automatic self-test will first run.
Set Test Frequency (D, W, M)
The test frequency allows you to set the time interval between self-tests.
The choices are DAILY, WEEKLY, MONTHLY, or OFF. Place the cursor
over the selection you want and press ENTER to activate. Selecting OFF will
disable the auto self-test function.
Set Test Duration
The test duration will set the length of time that the unit will perform its
self-test. Select the duration by using the number keys to enter any value in
the minutes field (from 00 to 15 minutes), and then the seconds field (from 00
to 59 seconds). The maximum time allowed for running the self-test is 15
minutes.
Output Parameters
"OUTPUT PARAMETERS" provides UPS Output Voltage, Current, Volt
Amps, Power in Watts, Power Factor, and Line Frequency information. The
main menu prompts you to select any of the six options by pressing the >
arrow to advance through the various parameter screens; or < to step back
through the screens. Press ENTER when the correct screen appears. Note:
UPS's with dual outputs offer the option of selecting and viewing the
VOLTAGE and CURRENT of each output individually.
Voltage
Dual output voltages (OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2) are displayed
depending upon the particular user configuration (120 VAC or 208 / 240 VAC).
This provides a reading for either single or dual outputs. For 120 VAC
systems, use OUTPUT 1 readings; for 208 / 240 VAC systems, use OUTPUT
2 readings. For dual systems, use both OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2 readings.
Current
The flow of current measured at the output of the UPS provided for both
OUTPUT 1 and OUTPUT 2 (see "Voltage" above).
Volt Amps
The apparent output power of the UPS calculated by multiplying output
voltage by the output current (i.e., 1335 VA).
Power in Watts
The true output power of the UPS calculated in Watts (i.e., 1200 Watts).
Power Factor
The ratio of true power (power actually consumed) to apparent power
(simple product of voltage and current) at the output of the UPS (i.e., 0.89).
Line Frequency
The frequency of the AC Line measured at the output of the UPS (i.e.,
60.02 HZ).
