1.4 Display

Local UPS user interface is served by a display and control panel containing a back-lit 2x16 character display and three pushbuttons. Using the pushbuttons, menus for the display of UPS status information, UPS control commands, UPS setup, UPS tests, and UPS diagnostics are shown. Critical UPS functions can be password protected. A loud audible alarm warns of operating modes that could result in the loss of power to the load without user intervention.

1.5 Remote Interfaces

The UPS provides a remote computer interface capable of full RS-232 communications. When combined with PowerDoctor UPS monitoring software and a serially connected local DOS PC, all functions of the local display and control panel are duplicated and power quality related events can be logged. PowerChute plus offers all the features of PowerDoctor, plus the ability to control orderly and unattended network or multi-user computer system shutdown during an extended power outage. Also available for the UPS is the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Adapter to provide load type independent remote monitoring and management across Ethernet or Token Ring based LANs or WANs capable of routing IP messages. Using any standard Network Management System (NMS) and the SNMP Adapter, the UPS becomes manageable through a single familiar interface - from across your building to across the world.

2. Safety

CAUTION !

νTo reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the Uninterruptible Power Source from the mains before installing computer interface signal cable (when used). Reconnect the power cord only after all signalling interconnections have been made.

νConnect the Uninterruptible Power Source to a two-pole, three-wire grounding mains receptacle. The receptacle must be connected to appropriate branch protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to any other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard and may violate local electrical codes.

νThis Uninterruptible Power Source has an internal energy source (the battery) that cannot be de-

energized by the user. The output may be energized when the unit is not connected to a mains supply.

νTo properly de-energize the Uninterruptible Power Source in an emergency, move the rear panel I/O switch to the O (off) position and disconnect the power cord from the mains.

νAvoid installing the Uninterruptible Power Source in locations where there is water or excessive humidity.

νDo not allow water or any foreign object to get inside the Uninterruptible Power Source. Do not put objects containing liquid on or near the unit.

νTo reduce the risk of overheating the Uninterruptible Power Source, avoid exposing the unit to the direct rays of the sun. Avoid installing the unit near heat emitting appliances such as a room heater or stove.
