5.2. Schedule
5.2.1. Scheduled on/off
Scheduled UPS on/off can be executed once, daily, weekly. Users can select
UPS and time parameters. It is recommended to set only one action in the
same time. If multiple actions have been applied at the same time, some of
these actions may be ignored. Any action will be ignored when the action is
not supported by the UPS.
Step 1 Select “Schedule” >> Scheduled on/off. Refer to Diagram 5-16.
Diagram 5-16
Step 2 Set frequency and setting time on the right column.
NOTE: Please be aware following rules while setting time.
Once – Power-off time should be earlier than power-on time.
Daily schedule – Power-off time should be earlier than power-on time.
Power-on time and power-off time should be set on same day.
Weekly schedule –Power-off time should be earlier than power-on
time. Power-on time and power-off time should be within the same
week.
Power off at - This time is an approximation. It is the starting point
for delays before the UPS powers off. This UPS power off time
incorporates delays such as "waiting time for load shutdown" if it is
configured.
Power on at - This time is an approximation. The UPS will turn on
after the delay of "waiting time for load shutdown" (if configured) + the
time difference between power on and power off.
The setting for "waiting time for load shutdown" is found in the Load
configuration page. The default value for UPS power off delay is 180s
(applies if "waiting time for load shutdown" is not configured).
Step 3 Click “Add” to add task. If task is successfully set, it will display on
the task table on the left-hand side. Select specific task and click “Delete”
button to delete the task.

a load, it can also allow to set load shutdown reminder.
5.2.2. Scheduled battery self-test
Scheduled battery self-test can be executed once, daily, weekly, or monthly.
