Parameters
The parameters describe the Powerware 9170
+
system operation.
Some useful parameters are input and output voltage, input and
output current, and battery voltage. The UPS measures or records
many other parameters. Some are operator-adjustable, such as the
local date and time and various oper ating limits. All parameters are
password-protected. Although every operating condition and parameter
is accessible through the front panel display, you may change a value
only if you have entered the correct password to allow you to change it.
NOTE After 10 minutes of inactivity, the UPS automatically deletes any
active password level and returns to the normal running display.
Changing Parameter Settings
The method of changing any operating parameter follows the same
procedure as setting initial parameters, as described in “Initial Startup
Parameters” on page 72.
Use the Menu map (Figure 60 on page 85) to find the parameter you
need to change, and move through the menu structure until the
parameter name appears on the display.
Press the button to access the parameter value. The Enter Password
screen automatically appears if permission is required for a particular
parameter. Enter the appropriate password, if applicable, and then
change the parameter value.
When you have changed the value, press the
button again to save the
change. To avoid making a change, press ESC instead of the
button.
