4.1 Start-up and Test

1. Plug the CFR's AC line cord into a wall receptacle. The TEST LED and
OUTPUT LOAD display LEDs will flash for a few seconds to indicate the
CFR is powering up. The LINE PRESENT LED will then come ON to
indicate the AC input line is OK and the CFR is running on AC line
power.
2. Switch the rear panel BATTERY circuit breaker ON to activate the battery
circuit.
3. Test the UPS by unplugging the AC LINE cord from the wall receptacle.
The front panel amber "LINE FAILURE" LED will light as the UPS initiates
LINE FAILURE operation.
4. Plug the AC LINE cord back into the wall receptacle. The "LINE
PRESENT" LED will come ON to indicate the presence of AC line power.
Within 20 seconds, the "LINE FAILURE" LED will shut OFF to indicate
that the UPS has resumed LINE PRESENT operation.
5. Once the UPS has been tested, switch the load ON, one unit at a time,
and observe the front panel "OUTPUT LOAD" display. As each additional
piece of equipment is switched ON, the LED's will display the increased
load up to 100%. If the "OVERLOAD" LED lights, decrease the load by
switching equipment OFF, one unit at a time, until the "OVERLOAD" LED
goes OFF. WARNING: DO NOT RUN THE UPS IN AN OVERLOADED
CONDITION.

Manual Self-test

Press (and hold for several seconds) the "MANUAL START" switch,
located on the Standard Interface Panel, when the UPS is running on AC line
power ("LINE PRESENT" LED ON). The unit will test the backup capabilities
of the UPS for approximately one minute ("TEST" LED ON). Both the "LINE
PRESENT" and "LINE FAILURE" LEDs will be ON. If a problem is detected,
the UPS will resume LINE PRESENT operation, without interruption to the
output, and light the "SERVICE" LED.

Audible Alarm OFF

Press the "ALARM OFF" switch, located on the Standard Interface
Panel, to cancel the audible alarm which may activate when first starting the
UPS. The alarm, along with the front panel "LOW BATTERY WARNING"
LED, indicates that the UPS batteries are low. The batteries will recharge
within several hours of operation.

Manual Start (No AC Line Power)

Press the "Manual Start" switch to start the UPS from battery power.
The UPS will start even though AC line power is not available ("LINE
PRESENT" LED OFF).
