2.1. Introduction

They are used for the adjustments of set points which vary
from different electrical applications.

2.2.Tools Required

Tools Description
1. True RMS Multi-Meter :Digital type
2.Variable Transformer :AC output range from 0-300V, 10-15A adjustable
3. DC Power Supply :DC output range from 0-60V, 3A adjustable
4. True RMS Power Meter :Digital(including VA, W, PF, Hz, Voltage, Current)
5. Personal Computer :
6. Setting Program :Default
7. RS-232/USB Cable :Pin to Pin
Note: Most of the multimeters are Average type, with which a stepwave AC voltage read
will result in a wrong readout. Therefore, a true RMS meter is definitely required for
reading the stepwave AC Voltage.
2.3. Tetting Procedure
1. Set the AC Source at 115Vac or 230Vac and the DC Power Supply at 24Vdc, the connect
them to the UPS.
2. Connect the UPS to a computer with the RS-232 or USB cable.
3. Turn on the UPS. Make sure the UPS is on Bypass mode.
4. Adjust input voltage from nominal to higher voltage for testing AVR High function
enable , from nominal to lower voltage for testing AVR Low function enable.
