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 500 frame.
When used, this facility disables the UPS static bypass and prevents the UPS from transferring the load on to
the generator power supply and/or block the battery charger during the time the UPS is supplied from the
genset.

Wavemon shutdown and management software

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.
