How to replace the battery in the UPS
Current UPS’y themselves ask the user of this display case / control panel messaging program to monitor or beeps.
All decoding signals can be found on the manufacturers’ websites or in the accompanying documentation.
But it happens and so that UPS did not ask, but to keep the load (the connected equipment) in the absence of mains power also refuses or keeps a very short time. In this case, the first thing you should check: is not over-load on the UPS if its power?
If all is well, the problem is the battery.
Step 2
Turning off the entire load UPS’a, extinguish itself UPS, disconnect from the Internet (fully physically), we find the battery compartment (its location and access methods to the battery can also be found in the provided UPS’u instructions). Learn more about RBC6 battery.
! WARNING! When disconnecting the battery, try not to touch any exposed wires or contacts email. boards. They may be PONETSIALNO-hazardous voltages, even with a fully-off UPS.
Open the compartment (in the older models did remove the cover), disconnect the battery, take out, read the label and go to the store for a new (old can take with them as an example).
/ / In some models, a pair or more batteries connected in series.
/ / When the batteries can slip spark – is nothing to worry about, as long as it was not easy-flammable vapors in the air. Ie a hangover is better to abandon this idea 8-D
Step 3
Bringing a new battery insert it in UPS (usually with a spark jumps, indicating that the presence of initial battery charge – without UPS can not see the battery and refuses to charge), set in the compartment and close the cover.
UPS connect to the network and turn on him. Yes, it is better to include, for he will soon self-test and if something is wrong, it will display or popischit.
Leave charged for at least 12 hours (anyone no matter what they say), and maybe more – it all depends on the model and used batteries (also can be found in the documentation).
! IMPORTANT! – NO LOAD!
Step 4
As time passes, connect the static load on the UPS (I use the lamp filament at 100W) and de-energize power UPS (simply pull out it from the power outlet).
/ / For the sake of experiment, you can even measure the time … to know the future norm.
When the UPS is fully discharged (300 = 7-9 min, 500 = 12 min, 525 = 14 min, 700 = 14-22 min) light goes out, turn off the load, and again put on charge.
Recharging is already less time, but it is important to make a full and up to 100% battery charge. See the charge level can be applied to a UPS software. And if that is not available, wait … again, it all depends on the model … but to be sure – at least 12 hours.
Step 5
Again, to achieve 100% battery charge should be made empty.
/ / If I time for the first time, you will notice that this time the battery is discharged more quickly – it’s okay eto_NE_iznos_AKB is just calibrated the controller UPS’a and leaves about 5% battery charge “just in case”.
Then you can enable UPS to the network and give it a few charge … (ideally, of course up to 100%).
