In some cases, the UPS protocol does not provide the appropriate data. The CS141 will, based on the data situation,
independently calculate the corresponding battery life runtime. In general, these settings do not need to be changed if you can
select a UPS model directly from the list - optimized configuration settings will be displayed after selecting the UPS.
if your UPS operates with a system configuration that differs to the basic model, it is possible that you need to adjust these
default values: In this case, please refer to your local UPS dealer or the UPS manufacturer of the UPS to get the correct values.
Entering wrong values may cause heavy system failures
Note:
By default, OEM ID 12 / GENEREX SYSTEMS is set. If you want to use a UPS from a manufacturer that is not listed, take a
look at the download area of www.generex.de - Search for the firmware for your UPS and install it as a regular firmware update.
Afterwards the corresponding UPS models are available.
Adjustable information about the installed UPS
Model
Defines listed default setting of a UPS including the corresponding communication protocol. When your UPS is listed and
communication has been established, telemetry of the UPS typically provides all the necessary data that the CS141 needs to
calculate and display autonomy times.
Please note that changing the UPS model will also reset the
configuration of the UPS events. The CS141 therefore offers the
possibility to create a corresponding backup of the event
configuration beforehand:
Cancel: Do not make any changes to the system
Do not save: Continue without backup
Save: Create a Backup of the event handling
Power (VA)
Defines the maximum power in VA the selected UPS in can provide. Exceeding the maximum may cause the UPS getting
damaged or even destroyed
Load (VA)
This value defines the maximum load connected to the UPS. Even the possibility is given, exceeding the power VA value can
damage or destroy the UPS as well as the installed batteries.
The maximum possible value is less or equal to the value entered at Power (VA).
Hold Time (min)
If main power fails, the batteries of a UPS will ensure this operating time if 100% load is used. The real-life uptime is determined
dynamically by the percent of usage: of you use 50% the hold time will raise accordingly.
Note:
Behind the values of power (VA), load (VA), holding time and battery charging time, a mathematical formula is stored - this will
allow the CS141 to calculate independently battery operating time and trigger corresponding system events. Thus, allow to use
the CS141 even if the UPS protocol cannot provide real-time data - as an example, if a UPS only communicates via switchable
contacts or only basic operating states can be detected.
Baud Rate
Different protocols provide different speeds of data transmission. The baud rate defines the speed at which data can be sent
and received. An incorrect baud rate can cause communication problems between the CS141 and the UPS.
Cable Type
UPS manufacturers sometimes use specially designed cables for their models. In addition to these in-house developments,
there are standardized cable types. This cable types can be used to map different functions and switching states.
UPS-ID
If large UPS systems use more than This one UPS module, these modules can be queried directly via a unique ID. „0“is hereby
a something like a broadcast to allow the CS141 search and manage capability to figure out the number of UPS modules. If you
change this value, you only get the exact module with this special ID. Otherwise the CS141 will manage all available modules
and display them at the monitoring screen.
