Communications Protocol
RS-232 Communications Protocol & Command Set
The RS-232 serial interface can be used in the following ways:
1. Initial system setup. An installer can use a notebook computer to
set the variables within the Power Control software. Once the setup is
completed, the notebook computer can be disconnected. All settings are
stored in the F1500-UPS E.
2. Connection to a PC or Network: Functionality is very similar to a stan-
dard UPS with a PC. The F1500-UPS E can provide continued power to
maintain recording capabilities of any number of devices in the event of
a black out or brown out. It is also capable of saving open documents
and shutting down the PC during extended power failures. This requires
a permanent RS-232 connection to the PC and having the Power Control
software running in the background on the PC. (Windows based OS only;
Mac Energy Saver software compatible).
3. Integration with advanced automation systemssuch as ELAN®,
AMX® and Crestron®: The serial communications command set and
protocol is open and is published later in this manual. This information
can be used by the automation system programmer for both F1500-UPS
E control by the automation system and reporting of power events by the
F1500-UPS E to the automation system.
Command Set/Status Messaging
The following commands are applicable when communicating with your
F1500-UPS E using the included RS-232 interface. These commands
can also be used when directly connecting to the device via Telnet proto-
col with the BlueBOLT-CV1 interface card (sold separately).
Connector Pin-out:
Pin 2, Transmit. The F1500-UPS E transmits data on this pin.
Pin 3, Receive. The F1500-UPS E receives data on this pin.
Pin 5, SG (signal ground).

Controller Commands
Serial commands and responses are in the form of ASCII character strings
terminated with a carriage return (<CR>, OCh, 13d). If the state variable
LINEFEED MODE = ON, a linefeed character (<LF>, 0Ah, 10d) will follow the
carriage return.
Incoming messages (to the F1500-UPS E) shall be terminated with one of the
following characters: NUL (00h, 00d), carriage return or line feed.
The F1500-UPS E shall discard the incoming message under the following
conditions: The message overruns the receiver buffer (32 characters). No
terminating character (NUL, <CR>, <LF>) is received within 500ms of receipt
of the last character.
The following are commands sent by the controlling equipment to the F1500-
UPS E:
NOTE: Responses are only transmitted automatically if unsolicited feedback is
enabled (!SET_FEEDBACK)
ALL ON
Turns on all outlets. Turn on is immediate with no delay.
Send to UPS: !ALL_ON<CR>
If power is not switched off due to low battery conditions:
Action: Turn on Outlet Bank 1 & 2
Response from UPS: $BANK 1 = ON<CR>
$BANK 2 = ON<CR>
If UPS battery level > Shutoff Threshold
Action: Turn on Outlet Bank 3 & 4
Response from UPS: $BANK 3 = ON<CR>
$BANK 4 = ON<CR>
If UPS battery level < Shutoff Threshold
Action: Turn off Outlet Bank 3 & 4
Response from UPS: $BANK 3 = OFF<CR>
$BANK 4 = OFF<CR>
$BATTERY = charge%<CR>
Action: Activate Power Button
Response from UPS: $BUTTON = ON<CR>
ALL OFF
Turns off all outlets. Turn off is immediate with no delay.
Send to UPS: !ALL_OFF<CR>
Action: All outlets will turn off
Response from UPS: $BANK 1 = OFF<CR>
$BANK 2 = OFF<CR>
$BANK 3 = OFF<CR>
$BANK 4 = OFF<CR>
$BUTTON = OFF<CR>
