4.3.11. Software
• Free software download - winPower.
• winPower is a UPS monitoring software, which makes a user-
friendly interface of monitoring and management. This software
supplies an auto Shutdown for a system based on several PCs
in case of an electrical blackout. with this software, the end-
users can monitor and manage any UPS in the same iT network,
through the RS232 or USb communication port, never mind the
distance between them.
• installation procedure:
Go to website:
http://www.kess.at
Choose the operating platform that you need and follow the
instructions described in the web site to download the soft-
ware.
when downloading the needed files from internet, enter the
following licence to install the software:
511C1-01220-0100-478DF2A .
• when the computer is rebooted, winPower software will be
shown as an icon with plug shape and green colour in the system

4.3.12. Considerations before starting up the
connected loads
•
it is recommended to charge the batteries for 2 hours as
minimum before using the UPS for first time. when sup-
plying voltage to the equipment, the battery charger will auto-
matically work.
• Although the equipment can work without charging the bat-
teries during the stated time without any problem, the risk of a
long blackout has to be valued during the first operating hours
and the available autonomy time in the UPS.
• Do not start up the equipment and loads completely till chapter
6 states it.
nevertheless, when it is done, it will be done gradually to avoid
any problem, as minimum in the first commissioning.
• if inductive loads with big inrush current apart from sensitive
ones are required to be connected like laser printers or CRT moni-
tors, keep in mind the start inrush currents of these peripherals in
order to avoid that the equipment becomes blocked under the
worst conditions.
it is better to not connect the loads of this kind, due to the high
quantity of energy resources that are taken from the UPS.
