Operation

2. USING POWERALERT POWER MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE

Via SNMPWEBCARD (requires firmware version 60 and above)

Using the Tripp Lite SNMPWEBCARD accessory, this UPS supports most of the same configuration options available from the front panel LCD screen, plus a few additional. Refer to the UPS Set-up Using the LCD Screen section for a description of supported configuration items and available settings: Output voltage (#1), Output frequency (#2), Frequency converter (#3), Bypass range (#4), Economy mode (#5. Requires card version 06X), Audible alarm (#6), Overload alarm (#7), External battery type (#8. Options are limited to the BP1 and BP2 batteries – use EXTERNAL BATTERY CONFIGURATION TOOL software for additional BP configuration items) and View IP address (#9).

These additional configuration items are available via the SNMPWEBCARD (firmware version 60 and above) interface.

BATTERY SAVE option enables automatic UPS power-off in battery mode when there is no need for continued operation. This option prevents unnecessary battery discharge by shutting off UPS power once the load level falls below a user-selectable percentage for five continuous minutes. Settings are available to enable shutdown at load levels between 5% and 95% (in 5% increments). Users may determine the ideal percentage setpoint by monitoring the UPS LCD load level screen for typical power consumption in both operating and shutdown modes. For example, if your equipment normally consumes 40-100% UPS capacity while operational, but drops to 3% once it’s shutdown, a BATTERY SAVE percentage setting of 5% would be ideal. Once connected equipment power consumption falls below the selected percentage for 10 continuous minutes, the UPS will turn off automatically, preventing unnecessary battery discharge. The factory default for this option is DISABLE.

BATTERY TEST refers the ability of the UPS to perform regular self-tests of the battery system. During BATTERY TEST operation, the UPS will momentarily cycle to Battery Mode and alert users of potential UPS operational or battery-related fault conditions. The factory configuration of MONTHLY is ideal for most applications. Options for WEEKLY and DISABLE settings are also available.

OFF MODE screen allows users to enable the UPS to provide output power when running in standby mode. The standby mode factory configuration is NO OUTPUT.
