If you see the above output, it is a goo d sign that apcupsd is working.
Assuming that the output looks reasonable, check the following variables:
A very disturbing tendance is for some of the newer (Mar 2004) RS and ES
UPSes to haveno Voltage information. This is annoying bug not serious. On
the other hand, someof those UPSes now have no battery charge information
(BCHARGE). If BCHARGE is zero in your listing and you are running a
Smart or a USB UPS, then you will have to set the BATTERYLEVEL
directive in your apcupsd.conf file to -1.
LINEV This is the line voltageand it should be a value that is appropriate
for your equipment. In the USA, it is typically about 120 Volts while
in Europe, it is about 220 Volts.
BATTVUnless you haveadditional battery packs, this should be near 24
Volts plus or minus 5 Volts.
STATUSThis is the status of the UPS and it should normally be ON-
LINE.
