Simulate Power Failure

Use the Simulate Power Failure option of the Diagnostics menu to switch the UPS briefly to battery power, testing the UPS's capability to perform such a switch if utility power fails.

When the UPS switches to battery power, PowerChute plus generates the UPS On Battery event and issues the message UPS on Battery: Simulated Power Failure.

When the UPS resumes non-battery operation, PowerChute plus generates the Power Restored event.
