Input Parameters

"INPUT PARAMETERS" provides UPS Input Voltage, Current, Volt

Amps, Power in Watts, Power Factor, and Line Frequency information. The
main menu prompts you to select any of the six options by pressing the >
arrow to advance through the various parameter screens; or < to step back
through the screens. Press ENTER when the correct screen appears.

Voltage

The voltage measured at the input of the UPS (i.e., 208 VAC).

Current (optional)

The flow of current measured at the input of the UPS (i.e., 6.42 Amps).

Volt Amps (optional)

The apparent input power of the UPS calculated by multiplying input

voltage by the input current (i.e., 1335 VA).

Power in Watts (optional)

The true input power of the UPS calculated in Watts (i.e., 1200 Watts).

Power Factor

The ratio of true power (power actually consumed) to apparent power

(simple product of voltage and current) at the input of the UPS (i.e., 0.89).

Line Frequency

The frequency of the AC Line measured at the input of the UPS (i.e.,

60.02 HZ).

Note: Input Current, Input VA and Input Watts are optional on some units.

Battery AH Capacity

Since the UPS can be equipped with many different types of batteries, it

is important to enter the battery Amp Hour capacity (6.5 Ah; 7.2 Ah; 17 Ah;
33 Ah; or 55 Ah). Once this screen is entered, fields can be updated using
the up or down arrows to advance or decrement the entries. Note: For
information on the batteries used in the UPS, consult the specifications
section of your CFR-UPS operator's manual.

Set Key Click

The keypad can be configured to "click" whenever a key is pressed.

The default is set to OFF.

Set Master / Slave

When using two intelligent Interface Devices (one locally and the other

remote), the one used most often should be configured as master; the other
should be configured as slave.

Set User/ History Security Code

The security code is used to restrict entry into certain areas of the

program. The code (1111) is preset at the factory and allows access to
USER PARAMETERS and HISTORY programs. The security code can be
changed using the number keys on the keypad. CAUTION: If the security
code is changed and no record is kept, especially if the code becomes
forgotten or lost, you will not be able to re-enter the program.

Display Unit Ident.

This screen is used to display vital information pertaining to the

Intelligent Interface Device, the micro-controller board and the CFR's power
board. This information is extremely useful for trouble-shooting and mainte-
nance.

Display IID Ident.
Displays the software version and ID # of the Intelligent Interface Device
(IID).
Display Micro Ident.
Displays the software version and serial # of the micro-controller board.
Display PwrBd. Ident.
Displays the EE Prom # and serial # of the CFR's power board.

Set Comm. Port

This feature allows you to select the port for remote communications. In

this display, you can select the RS-232, RS-485, or Modem port to configure.
With the selection of any of these options, you will be guided through the
complete setup of the communications port. Refer to your PC user's manual
when making selections for a particular device. NOTE: The Comm Ports
must be setup from the Intelligent Interface Device's keypad.
