8.1 Additional Power Management Features
Via an optional network management card:
Using a Tripp Lite network management card
accessory, this UPS system supports most of the same configuration options available from the front
panel LCD screen, as shown in
Section 5
, plus a few additional configurations.
These additional configuration items are available via the network management card 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). The user 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 the connected equipment normally consumes 40-100% UPS capacity while
operational, but drops to 3% once 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 DISABLED.
BATTERY TEST
refers to 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.
Via RS-232 connection:
This UPS supports configuration of economy mode, audible alarms
and extended runtime configurations using PowerAlert software and a RS-232 connection to the
UPS. These two parameters offer the same control options available through the front panel LCD
interface. Refer to
Section 5
for description and settings options.
Via USB connection:
This UPS supports configuration of the alarm using PowerAlert software and
a USB connection to the UPS. Refer to
Section 5
for description and settings options for Alarm
Setup.
