Hi
we have several APC UPS 3000 upses. When these were originally installed and set up they were set to self -test "every 14th day". However we found that this was actually causing them to self test more frequently/irregularly than this. So we decided to set them up to option "UPS Startup and every 14 Days since last test". Now what seems to be happening is that the UPS will self test twice on the 14th day. See logs below. How do we get these UPS to just self test once, on the 14th day. The UPS are fitted with a AP9631 card and firmware on each has recently been upgraded to v5.1.7, with no change to problem.
