SOLA 610 UPS Installation
Your UPS is fitted with a DB9 communications
connector on the rear panel. From this connector,
you can access opto coupled outputs indicating
mains failure or low battery.
Alternatively, RS232 serial communications is
available. This RS232 provides a proprietary
command sequence for the computer to monitor the
utility and the UPS status and to control the UPS
output. The data format of the RS232 is 2400bps, 8
bit data, 1 stop bit and no parity.
The battery test mode is also available through the RS232
command sequence whilst the UPS is operating and the
power is normal. During the test, the 4 LED’s (line, bypass,
battery and inverter) will light alternatively until the test is
completed.
Each UPS is supplied with a package of CHECKUPS II®
Advanced UPS communications software. This package
includes the correct interconnection cable for your SOLA 610
UPS. If your computer does not have a DB9 connector on
the serial port, use a standard DB9-DB25 adaptor, available
at most computer accessory stores. The CD-ROM provided
with your UPS includes software for many standard operating
systems and detailed manuals in Adobe Acrobat format. All
utilities required to read and/or print the manuals are included
on the CD-ROM. Refer to section 4.2 & 4.3 for more details
of CheckUPS II® and it’s capabilities.
If you have purchased an AS400® card option, this will be
installed in the communications slot. Be careful to connect
your AS400® interface cable to the correct DB9 connector.
Refer to Section 4.4 for more details of the AS400® card
option.
If you have purchased an SNMP option card, this will be
fitted into the communications slot. Only one (1) card, either
AS40® or SNMP can be fitted into the slot at any one time.
Refer Section 4.5 for more details of the SNMP Card option.
