BATTERY /SYSTEM CHECKOUT
To verify proper system function and battery condition, the user is encouraged to engage the test
switch periodically. Normal indications as specified should be observed. If the system goes
immediately to the low battery-warning mode the batteries should be replaced.
UPS MONITORING CONFIGURATIONS
All of these models provide an UPS monitoring capability which will allow direct interface with
many different computer hardware/software configurations. This capability permits an
unattended, orderly shut down of the computer system when commercial power is lost for a long
period. Some configurations also provide for shut down of the UPS after the computer has been
shut down, thereby conserving UPS battery capability.
Following is a partial list of systems with which the monitoring capability exists. Contact Para
Systems Customer Service Department for a more complete, up to date list. In addition to those
standard configurations listed below, Para Systems also offers its own software package,
"Network Manage", which functions with Novell, Unix, OS/2, LAN Manager, LAN Server and
MacIntosh Operating Systems. Network Manager offers many advantages over existing UPS
monitoring packages.
Finally, for systems which do not have UPS interface capability, user software can be written to
read UPS status and provide for system shut down. Software specialists should contact Para
Systems, Inc. for more information. The standard UPS DB9 PIN out is provided below for your
information.
