4.1.1.2  Initiating the shutdown procedure when the battery level is lower than: (Low Battery

Level)

When the SNMP agent detects that the remaining backup time percentage is less than the configured
level, the shutdown sequence is started.
By default, this value is set in the UPS.

Note:

Certain types of UPS only accept pre-defined minimum battery level values (e.g. : 20% or 40% for
COMET and PULSAR EXtreme). Check the UPS documentation.

4.1.1.3  Shutdown when backup time is less than

When the SNMP agent detects that the percentage of backup time remaining is less than the value
set, the shutdown sequence is started.

4.1.1.4 Shutdown 

duration

Duration required for the systems protected by UM-Client to shut down (in seconds).

4.1.2  Individual outlet control

Some UPS models are equipped with outlets or group of outlets (typically 2), that can be controlled  or
programmed individually (while still remaining dependent on the main UPS control). MGE name for
this feature is PowerShare.
Shutdown of the UPS systematically causes shutdown of the controlable outlets.

Depending on the UPS range, the following notation is used to mark these outlets:

 

Main outlet: 

Main   or

1

 

Programmable outlet 1

1

or

2

 

Programmable outlet 2

2

or

3

4.1.3  Connecting a server protected by UM-Client to a controlled outlet

After connecting the server electrically to one of the controlled outlets, UM-Client must be informed of
the outlet number to which it is connected.
Start UM-Editor (installed with Solution-Pac / WAN), select the “

Switchable plug

”  box and specify the

outlet number (1=main, 2 or 3) in the “

Receptacle Number

” field.
