UPS / Power System
To monitor a UPS or other power system, a serial connection to the device in question must be established.
This is done by connecting the device to be monitored to the serial connector on the GMAC-5’s rear panel,
and configuring the connection in GMAC-5, using the “Serial” option in the “Configuration” menu.
When UPS monitoring is thusly enabled, the “UPS” menu option displays the UPS’s status and general
information. The “Measurements” and “Commands” options display additional information, and enable the
user to send commands to the unit, to switch it on or off, or to run a test, and so on.
Be aware that the information displayed and the commands supported depend on the specific UPS or
power system model. Not all UPSs support every possible command.
