ETA SYSTEMS - UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER MANAGER
Communications Manager™
Many uninterruptible power systems provide only a basic software interface with the computer system they
protect. Communications Manager combines the signaling capabilities of the rear panel communication port
with the management capabilities of ETA SYSTEMS's communication software suite. Using your
computer's monitor, Communications Manager conveniently displays input and output voltage, output
current, power line frequency, battery voltage, load percentage, and temperature. Communications
Manager even initiates user defined automatic system shutdowns during extended power outages.
Communications Manager allows a system operator to locally or remotely control the shutdown and startup
of equipment connected to the UPM and provides this control either directly or through the operation of a
customized schedule that can be developed to meet specific operating requirements.
Configuration Manager™
Configuration Manager allows the user to control certain parameters of the UPM such as operating voltage.
With Configuration Manager, for example, operating voltage of North American units can be set for 120 volts
in the United States or 100 volts for Japanese installations. Some of Configuration Manager's features are
accessed through Communications Manager – such as those that allow adjustment to the voltage transfer
points of the UPM inverter. With Configuration Manager you can even program output receptacles to turn
off themselves and their connected loads at pre-determined times following a power outage.
User Replaceable Battery
Eventually every UPM requires a new battery. ETA SYSTEMS expects the battery in your to last a minimum
of two years – perhaps longer if power outages are short and infrequent. ETA makes battery replacement
by the user easy and fast. And it's not necessary to turn off the UPM or the connected system. The battery
may be "hot-swapped" while the system is running.
6.0 – OPERATION
On/Off Button
The On/Off button is a dual function control:
When the UPM is off and AC power is present to the UPM input, pressing the On/Off button for more
than 3 seconds will turn the UPM on. If Start Manager's rear panel switch is enabled, pressing the
On/Off switch for 3 seconds or more will "cold-start" the UPM on its internal battery.
When the UPM is on, pressing the On/Off button for more than 3 seconds will turn off the UPM and
output power.
