Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)

5.Shutdown Button: Click the shutdown button to open the Scheduled Shutdown Window.

6.Battery OK Indicator: This indicator appears in a green color when AC power is normal and the UPS and software are communicating.

7.AC Power Indicator: This indicator appears in a green color when AC power in normal. When the power fails, the indicator will change to a red color with an “X” through it.

8.Scheduled Shutdown: If there is a shutdown scheduled within seven days, the information will be displayed here. The user can schedule a shutdown in the Scheduled Shutdown Window.

9.Final Countdown: When the final countdown timer reaches zero, the software will begin shut- ting down the system. This can be adjusted in the Setup Window.

1.Delay Between Warning Mes- sages: This setting determines the delay between the audible alarms.

2.Time Between Power Failure and Initial Warning: This setting de- termines the delay between when the power fails and the first audible alarm.

3.Time Between Power Failure and

Shutdown Process: This user adjustable setting determines how long the UPS will run on bat- tery before starting to shut down the system. If this is not checked, the UPS will run on battery until the low battery condition occurs (approximately 2-minutes of backup time remaining), and then, start the shutdown process. If the low battery condition occurs before this timer reaches zero, the software will start the shutdown process.

4.UPS is Installed On: This shows the current COM port that the UPS is using. The port assigned to the UPS needs to be used exclusively for the MINUTEMAN PowerCenter software.

5.OK Button: This button is used to exit the setup window and save any changes.
