18.1 Battery Test

MultiSmart Battery voltage can be monitored by performing Battery Tests in MultiSmart.
To configure Battery Test, navigate to:

Table 29 – Battery Test Parameters
The Battery test is initiated at a specified time. It activates a digital output to switch to Battery only mode for
the specified test duration. The DC voltages at the MultiSmart are checked during this period and the digital
output turns off on completion, switching back to the DC voltage from the main power supply.
To isolate the MultiSmart from the DC voltage (from the power supply) during the battery test, 'Test Battery'
in the Configure Digital Output screen is assigned to a digital output.
Make sure that Battery Under Voltage and Battery Over Voltage faults are enabled before starting the battery
test. These faults represent the state of the Battery. If the battery test is completed without any of these faults
being activated, it indicates that the battery is in a good state.
If the MultiSmart reboots as a result of the battery test, the 'Battery Test Failed' fault will be activated. If
there is an unacknowledged fault as a result of the battery test, a new test cannot be started. Test details
such as start time of test, end time of test and DC voltage during the test can be found in the History page.
