Diagnostics

Figure 1.1 - Diagnostics (Smart-UPS 5000)
The Diagnostics screen displays the last diagnostic results, and enables you to initiate tests and calibrations.

#There are three types of Diagnostics:
• A Self Test performs internal UPS diagnostics. If the UPS is On Battery, a Self Test cannot be performed. Restore power to the UPS to run a Self Test.
• An Test Alarm of your UPS (using a drop-down box in the Initiate Diagnostics section).
• A Runtime Calibration causes the UPS to recalculate its available runtime capacity based on its present load. This ensures that the runtime reported is more accurate. Not all UPS models support runtime calibration.

You can initiate an immediate Self Test, Runtime Calibration, or UPS Test Alarm by selecting an option in the drop-down box under the Initiate Diagnostics section and clicking on Apply.

#Notes on Runtime Calibration:
Runtime Calibration deeply discharge UPS batteries, which can leave a UPS temporarily unable to support its equipment if a power outage occurs.
You can perform a calibration only if battery capacity is at 100%.
To optimize the efficacy of the Runtime Calibration, it is recommended to perform the calibration using a connected device load that accurately represents the average load on the UPS.
Frequent calibrations reduce the life of batteries. Therefore, select Runtime Calibrations to occur only annually or semi-annually. Also perform a calibration whenever you significantly change the load that the UPS is supporting.

In the Schedule Self Test section, you can configure your system to perform a Self Test at frequencies available in the drop-down box, explained as below.
Figure 1.4 - Schedule Self Test
On UPS start-up: The UPS performs a Self Test when it turns on.
On UPS start-up and every 7 days since start-up date: The UPS performs a Self Test when it turns on and subsequently performs a test every 7 days (the dates do not deviate from the 7-day interval unless you turn the UPS off and then on again). For example, you turn on the UPS on September 3, so it performs a Self Test at turn-on and subsequently on Sept. 10, Sept. 17, Sept. 24, etc.
On UPS start-up and every 14 days since start-up date: The UPS performs a Self Test when it turns on and subsequently performs a test every 14 days.
On UPS start-up and every 7 days since last test: The UPS performs a Self Test when it turns on and subsequently performs a test every 7 days. However, if you manual initiate a Self Test, using this screen or directly on the UPS, this changes the dates (in contrast to the second item in the drop-down box where the dates would not change). For example, you turn on the UPS on September 3, so it performs a Self Test at turn-on and subsequently on Sept. 10. You then initiate a manual Self Test on Sept. 12, and the 7-date intervals continue on Sept. 19, Sept. 26, etc.
On UPS start-up and every 14 days since last test: The UPS performs a Self Test when it turns on and subsequently performs a test every 14 days. However, if you manual initiate a Self Test, using this screen or directly on the UPS, this changes the dates.
