MopUPS Pro
The AMETEK-Powervar smart communications give you several options
for:
• Protecting data on a computer powered UPM when battery runs low
• Monitoring UPM to allow analysis of site power history and UPM
health.
A DB9 port provides a standard basic-signal interface that works with
legacy and open source UPS monitoring software to trigger automated
computer shutdown on low battery conditions.
The smart USB port links your UPM Series directly in to Windows, Linux
or MAC OS as an HID device -- without need for additional USB device
drivers. Use native OS Power Management utilities for automatic safe
shutdown on low battery.
If you want added functionality including; data and event logging, auto-
run command files before shutdown, access to UPM configuration and
integrated network agent for central monitoring via AMETEK-Powervar
ManageUPS® CIO Server software, download and use AMETEK-
Powervar software MopUPS® Pro (for Window and Linux)
Communication Manager Port
Communication Manager provides a connection point on the rear panel
of the UPM (both DB9 and USB ports). Connecting to this port and
installing MopUPS Pro software package (optional) will allow you control
over important UPM functions and access to operating information from
the UPM. Using software, you can view such parameters as AC input
and output voltage, power line frequency and battery voltage.
To support these functions without the MopUPS Pro software suite, you
will need to either buy or build your own special cable. The following
table describes the pin assignment of the DB9 connector on the rear of
the UPM. Contact your computer supplier to determine the connection
