Overview

The UPS menu’s Configuration option provides access to the

 

configurable parameters described in the following sections:

 

Utility line settings on this page

 

Alarm thresholds (Symmetra Power Array) on page 44

 

Shutdown parameters on page 45

 

General settings on page 46

 

Battery on page 39

Utility line settings The Utility Line settings and their values differ by UPS model.

 

Note: No Utility Line settings are available for a Silcon DP300E series

 

UPS.

 

 

Smart-UPS/Matrix-UPS.The following table describes the Smart-UPS

 

and Matrix-UPS Utility Line settings.

 

 

 

 

Setting

Definition

 

 

 

 

Output Voltage

The nominal AC voltage level for the UPS output.

 

 

 

 

High Transfer

The upper limit of acceptable input voltage. When the input

 

Voltage

reaches this value, the UPS switches to battery operation

 

 

(Matrix-UPS) or starts using its SmartBoost feature

 

 

(Smart-UPS).

 

 

 

 

Low Transfer

The lower limit of acceptable input voltage. When the input

 

Voltage

reaches this value, a Smart-UPS starts using its SmartTrim

 

(Smart-UPS)

feature, or switches to battery operation, if it does not have

 

 

SmartTrim.

 

 

Note: For Matrix-UPS, this setting appears in the Control

 

 

Console’s Line Transfer menu, but the value cannot be

 

 

changed.

 

 

 

 

Vout Reporting

How Matrix-UPS scales its output voltage readings.

 

(Matrix-UPS)

 

 

 

 

 

Sensitivity

How sensitive the UPS is to distortions in the input voltage.

 

 

Note: Matrix-UPS always uses an Automatic setting.
