MAX PRO-SERIES RS-232 COMMAND SPECIFICATIONS

1. OVERVIEW

The Panamax Pro-Series product family has a RS232 interface that allows it to communicate with a wide variety of equipment.

The purpose of this document is to outline the command set used to communicate with the Pro-Series (PS) products.

Commands and responses are in the form of ASCII character STRINGS TERMINATED with ASCII 13, line feed (ASCII 10) or NULL (ASCIØ).

2. CONTROLLER COMMANDS

The following are commands made by the controller to Pro-Series products.

	Command String		Description / Response	Command String		Description / Response
2.1		POWERON	Changes the front panel button status to	2.13	?TRIGSTAT	Request the status of the 12V trigger input. PS responds with:
			ON. Initiates a power-on sequence if the			a) 12VINHI if voltage is sensed on the12V input
			previous state is OFF.			b) 12VINLO if 0V is sensed on the 12V input
						c) BUTTONON if the ON/OFF button status is ON.
2.2		POWEROFF	Changes the front panel button status to			d) BUTTONOFF if the ON/OFF button status is OFF.
			OFF. Initiates a power-off sequence if the			e) 12VOUTHI if the trigger output is ON (+12V)
			previous state is ON. (Default)			f) 12VOUTLO if the trigger output is OFF (0V)
2.3		CYCLESW	Initiates a power cycle sequence for the	2.14	?OUTLETSTAT	Request the status of the outlet banks. PS responds with:
			Switched Outlets only.			a) MAINACON if all outlets (main relay) are ON
						b) MAINACOFF if all outlets are OFF
2.4		CYCLEHC	Initiates a power cycle sequence for the			c) SWITCHEDON if the switched outlets are ON
			High Current Outlets only.			d) SWITCHEDOFF if the switched outlets are OFF
						e) HICURRENTON if the high-current (delayed) outlets are ON
2.5		CYCLE	Initiates a power-cycle sequence. Switched			f) HICURRENTOFF if the high-current outlets are OFF
			& high-current outlets turn off, followed by
			a 10 second delay, followed by a power-on	2.15	?PWRSTAT	Request the status of the input voltage
			sequence.			a) NORMAL if the voltage is within limits
						b) OVERVOLTAGE if the voltage is greater than 132VAC
2.6		ALLOFF	Turns off all outlets. Forces front panel			c) UNDERVOLTAGE if the voltage is less than 95VAC
			button status to OFF.			d) RECOVERY if recovering from an over/undervoltage state but
						has not yet restored power to outlets.
