Perform a Battery SPoT Mode Test in a Single UPS System

NOTICE
Risk of load drop
The load is not supported by the UPS during a Battery SPoT mode test. Shut down any connected load or ensure alternative supply for the load before starting a Battery SPoT mode test.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
NOTICE
risk of equipment damage
  • Batteries will be discharged to the low DC warning level and this will result in a short battery runtime after the test until the batteries are fully recharged.
  • Repeated battery testing or calibration can affect the service life of the battery.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
NOTE: The Battery SPoT mode test is only legally allowed to perform in some countries/areas. Please refer to local/national legislation. Battery SPoT mode must be enabled by Schneider Electric services during start-up.

General prerequisites for single UPS system (always refer to the prerequisites listed on your UPS as they are specific to your system):

  • UOB must be open.

  • The UPS operation mode must be Requested static bypass.

  • The battery disconnect device(s) BB must be closed.

  • There must be no detected surveillance faults.

  • SSIB must be closed.

  • UIB must be closed (if present).

  • BF2 must be closed (if present).

  • The output voltage and frequency must be within predefined limits.

This feature performs a battery discharge test without the need for a load bank. During the battery SPoT mode test, the inverter is turned ON while the UPS is in requested static bypass. During the test, the UPS performs a battery runtime calibration test (if the battery runtime test prerequisites are met, see Start a Runtime Calibration Test) and adjusts the estimated runtime accordingly.

The output power can be manually adjusted from 0 to 100% load to be as close as possible to the operating conditions.

The test stops when the battery voltage has reached its shutdown level, or when the predefined discharge level has been reached.

NOTE: Battery SPoT mode must be enabled by Schneider Electric during service configuration before this test is available.
  1. From the home screen on the display, select Tests > Battery SPoT mode.
  2. On page 1 of the menu for Battery SPoT mode, verify that the prerequisites for performing a test is met and confirm that the load is powered if UOB is open during this procedure. Tap the arrow symbol to go to the next page.
  3. On page 2, follow the listed checklist. Tap the arrow symbol to go to the next page.
  4. On page 3, set the battery discharge level and the output power level. Tap the arrow symbol to go to the next page.
  5. On page 4, tap Start battery SPoT mode to start the test.
    NOTE: If you wish to manually stop the test, tap Abort battery SPoT mode .
