6. Software and connectivity

The software Suite CD-ROM that is bundled with the UPS contains software distributions and documentation in CD format. Furthermore, the comprehensive connectivity option portfolio includes Web/SNMP adapters for networked environments, Modem card for 24/7 remote monitoring, ModBus/Jbus card for building management system integration, relay interface cards for industrial and facilities use and RS-232 cards for serial communication to one or multiple computers.

Communication cables

It is recommended that the control cables and power cables be installed on separate trays. Where control cables will cross power cables make sure they are arranged at an angle as near to 90 degrees as possible.

All control cables shall preferably be shielded. If the shield is grounded, this shall take place on only one end of the cable.

The procedure for connecting the control cables is the following:

1.Remove the front cover by lifting the cover from the bottom outwards by releasing the retaining clip. It’s located in the bottom part of the bezel.

2.Locate the control terminal or X-slot module where you want to install the communications cable.

Connection to the standard RS-232 port (X53)

The standard RS-232 interface uses 9-pin female D-sub connector. It shall be used with the delivered cable for a computer or external modem connection. The data is transmitted with XCP protocol that includes status and meters information about the UPS. The RS-232 port has the following format:
