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.
