The full operating current of the customer?s equipment is checked and verified not to exceed the rating of the UPS. 5.

It will then be checked to ensure that under all operating conditions and power failure tests, that it performs all functions within its defined specifications and that the customer?s critical equipment is not affected. The customer equipment should be set up in test conditions to avoid potential loss of data and/or communications. Final calibrations to the system are made during this part of the test procedure. 6.
