2.4 UPS Standard Features

The UPS has many standard features that provide cost-effective and consistently reliable power protection:

2.4.1 Monitor Panel

The Monitor Panel on the front of the UPS contains an LCD screen to display the current status of the UPS. You can view a statistical history and log of UPS events and display a real-time graphic representation of power flowing through the UPS components. Backlit status indicators show the operating mode of the UPS and alert you to system events. The emergency LOAD OFF button is also located on the monitor panel and is described in Chapter 5, “Using the Monitor Panel.”

2.4.2 Control Panel

The Control Panel inside the right door of the UPS contains the operator controls to start and stop the UPS, change the operating mode, and reset the LOAD OFF button. The Control Panel is described in “Using the Control Panel” on page 4-1.

2.4.3Communication Bays

￿X-Slot®Communication Bay – The Communications Bay allows internal, UPS-powered communication with optional X-Slot cards. The X-Slot cards support several protocols such as SNMP, HTTP, and Modbus®. See Chapter 7, “Communication” for additional information.

￿Computer Interface – Serial communication ports are standard on all UPSs, and are electrically isolated from the UPS. You can use these ports to link the UPS to the features described in Chapter 7, “Communication.”

￿Summary Alarm Contacts – Alarm contacts are provided for connection to equipment at your facility such as a light, an audible alarm, or a computer terminal. The equipment you connect to these contacts alerts you to a UPS alarm. This feature is described further in Chapter 6, “Using Features and Options.”

￿Building Alarm Monitoring – You can connect your facility’s alarm system contacts to six inputs in the UPS. The UPS uses these inputs to monitor your building alarms in addition to the UPS status. This feature is described further in Chapter 6, “Using Features and Options.”

2.4.4Input Filter

Your UPS may be equipped with an input filter. An input filter yields power factor correction that allows you to save on the initial installation and operating costs. The filter also reduces input harmonic current distortion and minimizes upstream interference that can damage sensitive hardware components.
