5.0 Operation

5.6 Extended capabilities

Sections 5.6.1 through 5.6.4 briefly describe the UPS’s extended capabili- ties—advanced functions accessed using a computer running optional PowerDoctor or PowerChute plus UPS monitoring software. Refer to the monitoring software documentation for more information on these func- tions.

Note: The extended capabilities of the UPS and operation of UPS monitoring software may be subject to change without notice.

5.6.1 Status reporting

■General

The UPS reports its electronics serial number, version number, date of manufacture, and date of last battery replacement.

■Operating status

The UPS reports its current operating status including on-line, on-battery, SmartBoost, overloaded output, low battery, shut down, and internal fault.

■Test results

The UPS reports the results of the last battery test. You may also test the operation of the UPS’s visual and audible indicators.

5.6.2 Monitoring

■Run time

When on-battery, the UPS continuously monitors the remaining run time in minutes. The UPS monitors available run time when operating on-line.

■Line voltage and frequency

The UPS continuously monitors the rms line voltage and line frequency. Transients lasting less than 0.5 seconds are not reported. This information may be logged using UPS monitoring software, plotted using a spreadsheet application, and used to track power quality over extended periods.

■Minimum and maximum line voltage

The UPS records the minimum and maximum line voltage to provide a snapshot of power quality over a user-specified interval. Transients lasting less than 0.5 seconds are not recorded.
