COMMUNICATION

When the communication cable is installed, power management software can exchange data with the UPS. The software polls the UPS for detailed information on the status of the power environment. If a power emergency occurs, the software initiates the saving of all data and an orderly shutdown of the equipment.

The cable pins for the RS-232 communication port are identified in Figure 19, and the pin functions are described in Table 4.

2If Pin 3 receives a Low (+V) signal for >5 seconds, the UPS executes the command selected by the “Signal Inputs” setting in “User Settings” on page 40.

3 When the selected condition is active, output signals on Pins 1 and 8 shift from Low (positive voltage) to High (negative voltage). When the condition no longer exists, the output signal returns to Low.
