Is this behaviour normal for an APC UPS??

i recently bought an APC UPS 1.1KVA

now whenever i switch it on, the green light flashes and the fan turns on for few seconds and then switches off and the green led stops flashing.

is it normal for the UPS to do so, is it some kind of a test???

As far as I can understand from your post, my answer would be, yes, it is normal.

well the thing is that in the past i owned a basic ups from microtek which would switch on in an instant without any fuss

so when i got this and see it doing the led flashing & fan running thing i am a bit confused

if the led blinks for 10sec & then lights continuously, its normal.
