Generator ON Facilities

The Generator ON facility must use a normally open contact that closes to indicate that a generator is running
and supplying input power to UPS. It is located at the bottom of the CONCEPTPOWER DPA
communication card with terminal blocks X1 ...X4. See section 3 / 1.2.1 for details
When used, this facility disables the UPS static bypass and prevents the UPS from transferring the load onto
the generator power supply.

Why is UPS Management important?

By combining a UPS with network management products, such as an SNMP protocol, System-administrators
are guaranteed their data and their system will constantly be protected from corruption or data loss even in the
event of an extended power failure or when batteries reach a critical low state. In the event of a power
disturbance system administrators can also monitor their network from a central location, allowing an early
detection of problems. In fact utility power is unreliable at times, ensuring that all network systems have
constant power can be a difficult task. The situation becomes even more complex if systems are managed
across a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) around the world.
When a power failure occurs action can be taken to protect the system and its valuable data. If no action is
initiated by the operator, this event can seriously damage the system. The UPS software will react
automatically in such a case and shutdown the operating system. The manufacturer has found it important to
have a complete solution for its UPS and is able to offer a wide range of monitoring/remote controls for
assuring the maximum protection degree to the customers.

WAVEMON Shutdown and Monitoring Software

WAVEMON Software is an external monitoring and shutdown software which was designed to operate with all
UPS products, both with the DRY PORT (Relays) on Terminal block X2 ...X4 and RS232 port JD11 on the
communication card
The software packet consists of a CD ROM for most diffused operating systems (Windows, Unix, OS/2, DEC
VMS, Novell, Apple), a standard connection and a user manual.
The dry port X2...X4 with voltage-free contacts may also be used for automatic shutdown in connection with
WAVEMON Software. It is necessary to provide a cable of 0.5 mm2 to connect Terminals X2..X4 of the UPS
and the serial port of the server.
