5. Software (Optional)
5.1 Power Monitoring Software
The UPS-MON software (or other power monitoring software) is applied via standard
RS-232 interface to perform monitoring functions. The cable must be connected from the
UPS end to a REMOTE PORT on the computer end. It can be either be COM 1 or COM 2.
It provides an orderly shutdown of a computer in the event of a power failure. Moreover,
UPS-MON displays all the diagnostic symptoms on the monitor, such as Voltage,
Frequency, Battery level and so on. The software is available for Windows XP, 7,8, 10,
Server-2000, 2003, 2008, 2012 and Linux. Call Marathon Power technical support for
assistance on OS.
5.2 Interface Kits
A series of interface kits are available for operation systems (Such as PLC, SCADA, signal
controllers, etc.) that provide UPS monitoring. Each interface kit includes a special interface
cable required to convert status signals from the UPS into signals which the individual
system recognizes. The interface cable from the UPS end must be connected to a REMOTE
PORT on the computer end. It can be either be COM 1 or COM 2. For other installation
instructions and powerful features please refer to READ.ME file.
Attention:
Use only the cable supplied by factory or authorized UPS monitoring cable!
5.3 The characteristics of computer interface port
The computer interface port has the following characteristics:
•
The communication port located on the bottom of the UPS may be connected to a
host computer. This port allows the computer to monitor the status of the UPS and
control its operations in some cases. Its major functions normally include some or all
of the following:
a. To broadcast a warning when power fails.
b. To close any open file before the battery is depleted.
c. To turn-off the UPS.
•
Some computers are equipped with a special connector to link with the
communication port. In addition, a special plug-in cord may be needed. Some
computers may need special UPS monitoring software. Contact Marathon Power for
details on the various interface Kits.
