General description
Karl E. Brinkmann GmbH 39
The software performs the following sequence:
• Check of battery charge.
• Discharge of batteries.
• Verification of reaching end of discharge and validation of same.
• Battery re-charging
• Updating of battery capacity status if discharge procedure was
successful.
• Memorization in a log file of the result of the procedure.
The discharge phase varies in length from 15 minutes to 30-40 min-
utes depending on system configuration. The charging phase takes
about 1.5 hours.
During the calibration period it is not advisable to have any other ap-
plications running on the machine.
Summary of operating phases
START phas
e
In this phase the machine is completely off.
As the line voltage increases, the system goes into the phase of acti-
vation and actual power on of the PC, and charging and/or maintain-
ing of the UPS. Since the status of the UPS is controlled by the C6
ECON system, via the signal ATX PS_ON, its activation takes place
when the C6 ECON system has powered on normally.
Activation phase (BOOT)
When the operating system is started, the UPS application will be ac-
tivated, which will perform diagnostics of the UPS module. Specifi-
cally, the application verifies communication with the UPS module
and the charge status of the batteries.
