With the connected equipment powered off, perform an initial test of the UPM backup function by pressing
the Test/Silence button on the front panel. During this test, the Battery Mode LED on the front panel should
briefly illuminate. It is also possible to test the backup function by unplugging the UPM input power cord. If
you choose to test the UPM in this manner, you will note that the UPM will beep every four seconds while
the power cord is unplugged. The Battery Mode LED will also illuminate constantly.
Once you have performed an initial test of the UPM backup function, turn on the connected computer
equipment. Verify that the Overload LED is off. If the Overload LED is illuminated, remove the least critical
devices from the UPM one by one until the overload light is extinguished. With the connected loads
powered up, perform the backup test once again by pressing the Test/Silence button or unplugging the
UPM. When this final test is completed, the UPM will be ready to use.
Please Note:

If you leave your UPM on continuously, it is a good idea to perform a test at least once a month.
If you are utilizing Communications Manager software, you can configure the system to
automatically self-test periodically.
v
The UPM is shipped with a charged battery, but some discharge naturally occurs during storage
and shipment. You may use the UPM immediately, but you should realize that backup time may
be less than the stated rating until the UPM battery has had at least six hours to charge.
v
POWERVAR recommends that you do not plug laser printers into the UPM.
Laser printers are known to draw large amounts of current when the
fuser/heater assembly is energized. Laser printers can easily overload the
UPM or create a low voltage condition that can interfere with the operation
of the Voltage Manager circuit.
