9.1 Additional Power Management Features
Via an optional network management card: Using a Tripp Lite network management card accessory, this UPS system
supports most of the same configuration options available from the front panel LCD screen, as shown in Section 5, plus a few
additional configurations.
These additional configuration items are available via the network management card interface:
BATTERY SAVE option enables automatic UPS power-off in battery mode when there is no need for continued operation.
This option prevents unnecessary battery discharge by shutting off UPS power once the load level falls below a user-
selectable percentage for five continuous minutes. Settings are available to enable shutdown at load levels between
5% and 95% (in 5% increments). The user may determine the ideal percentage setpoint by monitoring the UPS LCD
load level screen for typical power consumption in both operating and shutdown modes. For example, if the connected
equipment normally consumes 40-100% UPS capacity while operational, but drops to 3% once shutdown, a BATTERY
SAVE percentage setting of 5% would be ideal. Once connected equipment power consumption falls below the selected
percentage for 10 continuous minutes, the UPS will turn off automatically, preventing unnecessary battery discharge. The
factory default for this option is DISABLED.
BATTERY TEST refers to the ability of the UPS to perform regular self-tests of the battery system. During BATTERY TEST
operation, the UPS will momentarily cycle to Battery Mode and alert users of potential UPS operational or battery-related
fault conditions. The factory configuration of MONTHLY is ideal for most applications. Options for WEEKLY and DISABLE
settings are also available.
OFF MODE screen allows users to enable the UPS to provide output power when running in standby mode. The standby
mode factory configuration is NO OUTPUT.
Via RS-232 connection: This UPS supports configuration of economy mode, audible alarms and extended runtime
configurations using PowerAlert software and a RS-232 connection to the UPS. These two parameters offer the same control
options available through the front panel LCD interface. Refer to Section 5 for description and settings options.
Via USB connection: This UPS supports configuration of the alarm using PowerAlert software and a USB connection to the
UPS. Refer to Section 5 for description and settings options for Alarm Setup.
