8 Further UPS Connectivity
8.1 Battery Temperature Sensor
Each Alpha FXM UPS unit is fitted with a sensor that is used to monitor battery
temperature. The sensor appears on a cable from the 'Battery Temp' port on the front of
the FXM Series UPS unit and, when correctly applied to the battery support bank,
enables temperature compensated battery charging.
WARNING: The Battery Temperature Sensor must be fitted for proper
operation of the UPS solution.
For details on the proper installation of the battery temperature sensor, see section 9.12.
See section 12.5.2 for more information on temperature compensated battery charging.
8.2 RS232 Interface
Alpha FXM UPS units are fitted with a female 9-way D-type connecter for RS232
connectivity to a computer or laptop. Status information and configuration settings are
made available via this interface and can be used to interrogate the UPS Solution when
on site. See section 12.3.2 for more information on the RS232 interface.
8.3 LAN Interface
Alpha FXM series UPS units provide internet and intranet connectivity via an
embedded SNMP (LAN) card and RJ45 connector. An IP based connection can be
utilized for remote system configuration using the UPS unit's supporting software. See
section 9.10 and 12.3.3 for more information on the fitting and using the UPS Solution's
LAN Interface.
NOTE: The SNMP (LAN) card is fitted to all Alpha FXM UPS units within
Siemens UPS Solutions as standard.
