Liebert 610 Local Reporting to a Terminal, Local Reporting to a Monitor, Requesting Information

Operation

Requesting Information

If your Series 610 is equipped with a modem and telephone line, you can call the UPS and receive sys- tem status and historical information on discharge events. You can place the call from either a remote terminal or a personal computer with a communications program.

Follow the instructions for your terminal or your communications program to call the UPS. When you make connection, the UPS will send you the greeting: “Hello, you are connected to a Series 610.” At this point, the UPS will respond to your specific requests for information, according to Table 6.

For example, to see a copy of information on the Present Status Report screen (see 3.2.4 - Status Reports Screens), press the “A” key (either uppercase or lowercase can be used for all except the date and time commands) and then the Enter key. The Series 610 will send the data, which will be displayed on your screen. Please note that the data on the screen is like a snapshot—the status of the UPS at the moment you requested the information. The information sent remotely is not updated, although you can repeat the process at intervals to request the present information.

Some screens, like the Battery Cycle Monitor information, contain data that you may wish to import into a spreadsheet for further calculations. To put this data into a usable format, use the screen-cap- ture feature of your communications software (or a separate screen-capture program) to save all or part of the data to disk.

NOTE

If you save the file with an extension of “.txt,” it can then be imported into a spreadsheet program and converted to worksheet format.

To terminate your connection to the Series 610, press the “H” key and then the Enter key. The UPS will hang up its modem and await your next call.

Local Reporting to a Terminal

The Series 610 sends UPS system status and history information to a local terminal in RS-232 for- mat. No modem is required. The Present Status Report screen is sent to the local terminal whenever a new alarm occurs. Commands for requesting information and for changing the date and time are in Table 6.

Local Reporting to a Monitor

A monitor connected to this port will display the Present Status Report screen whenever a new alarm occurs, the same as a local terminal would. This monitor does not display information going out through the modem port.

Site Reporting: SiteScan or SNMP

The SiteScan port sends UPS system information to a Liebert SiteScan Central Monitoring System. UPS operation, environmental control systems and facility security can all be monitored from a single location. This information can also be sent via SNMP interface to a local network or building manage- ment system.

Another option for SNMP communications is the optional Liebert SiteNet Integrator, which monitors the status of all the dry-contact outputs of the Series 610. The Integrator module monitors up to 10 digital inputs and two temperature/humidity sensors and can control two external devices with con- tact closure outputs. It can be programmed to activate local audible and visual alarms in addition to network “traps.”

Other communications options include the use of an Ethernet-based Liebert Network Management System. Contact your local Liebert representative for further details.
